    Amazing food. Indian taste, and feel. Edited Sep'21 - Poor customer service, we got a hair on our dish and instead of being apologetic there was an argument that insisted it might be ours. Manager used words like "Its a shame" that just ruined everything and when we tried to discuss the response was "You are wasting my time, customers are waiting outside" Food tasted good except Paneer Makhani which was extremely sweet. As a Indian you would not like that, don't order paneer Makhani if you are Indian you will be disappointed. Dropping from 5 to 3 stars after this experience.

    Great find in Buncrana. Staff so lovely. Try the Momo, the sauce with them was gorgeous. Crispiest Onion Bhaji ever. Got recommendation from Ritam of Ledo-Bedo lamb dish. So tender. Had leftovers for lunch next day. If we were here for a week we’d definitely be going back.

    Extremely poor experience. We have enjoyed Chicken MOMO earlier here and it was good. So we decided to take a guest with us next time and we were 6 members in a group. At the restaurant we ordered two plates of Momo (20 pc @28Euro) and the manager asked me to order the main dish. I told him that we are living locally and came here to taste Momo with our guest only. After some time he came back and told us that they are not going to serve us only 2 plates of Momo and if we don't order any main dish thay will not allow us a sit-in service. He offered us for a take away instead which we denied. It was a real embarrassing situation Infront of our guest who arrived from Netharland. If a restaurant does not serve starter they should have made it clear in their menu. I have visited all over the world and never received such aweful treatment. This is an example of discrimination and I recommend all of you to avoid this restaurant.

    This is the best Curry I have had in a while. Paddy had the chicken tikka which was full of flavor. I opted for the Vindaloo.. As a rule Vindaloo isn’t for the faint hearted. This one was made from fresh chilli so it really gave a kick. And all the spice and flavor. I cant wait to go back. The staff are so friendly and attentive. If you don’t feel like sittting in they do take out as an option.

    Great Indian restaurant in the centre of Buncrana, serving very tasty food.

  • 4/5 Gareth M. 1 year ago on Google • 64 reviews
    The quality of food is good but the meat / sauce ratio was off. It's slightly pricey for the location the standard is good.

  • 5/5 Shannon D. 10 months ago on Google • 49 reviews
    Fantastic Indian/Nepalese find on the northern shores of County Donegal! We shared a couple large appetizers and some naan and wished we were hungrier for more because the aromas were so enticing! Treat yourself to dine in or takeout if you’re in the area.

    Great food and great service. Make a reservation, as we did, because it can get busy. The momo starter is a must!

    So overpriced it's borderline robbery. Ordered the tikka Masala, not sure what we got but it was not Tikka Masala. Told we had to be out by a certain time even though we booked. £20 for a dish not including rice. We got 6 pieces of chicken and a bland cheap tasting sauce. Awful!! Rice was bland and flavourless and expensive. Did not enjoy the experience at all.

  • 5/5 Tom S. 1 year ago on Google
    Was able to get a table for three with no reservation. Was super happy with the food and had a great fella (Colin I think his name was) take care of our order. Over all was a fantastic experience and some if the best Indian food I have had in a long while. Definitely heading back again. :)

  • 5/5 Brian M. 8 months ago on Google
    Food was excellent. Good variety. Full of flavour. Tender chicken with plenty of sauce. Had Butter Chicken, Chicken Tika Masala and Chicken Korma with Rice and Naan Breads. Can't complain about any of it. Great food.

  • 5/5 Una F. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a very busy restaurant on a Saturday night. Lovely food tasty and spicy.Lots of food you will not leave hungry The service was fat and friendly. I was a wee bit chilly but that soon changed after starting on the Chicken Bhuna. Reasonably priced, good food, quick service.

    Excellent food, blast of flavours. Can not fault the food in anyway. Friendly staff, but service over keen visiting table 8 times after food arrived while pwe ate looking to clear plates. Still though,not a place to be missed while in buncrana.

  • 5/5 Oana M. 1 year ago on Google
    I’m living in Dublin, but never had this beautiful Indian meals anywhere else! I just love it, everything seems so fresh and authentic. You shouldn’t miss this restaurant, amazing food!

  • 4/5 Michelle Mc G. 9 months ago on Google
    Food was good but its a little expensive for the quality. I've had takeout from here and it was better but I suppose it depends on the day. Was asked some awkward questions from the staff. Silly really but definitely uncomfortable. Garlic naan is delicious.

  • 1/5 Declan G. 1 year ago on Google
    Hospitality and front of service to customer leaves a lot to be desired. Man on desk very big for his little boots. Shame as the food and service used to be of better quality. Ignorant sarcasm after a long drive about your food being hot or cold is not what you need. Once it’s paid for. I’ll heat as necessary!! Ur open between certain hours! That’s all that’s relevant!

  • 4/5 Gero N. 11 months ago on Google
    The food is delicious. When all tables are in use it is quite loud, but the visit is worth it.

  • 5/5 Peter M. 10 months ago on Google
    Tonight was our third visit to this restaurant and for third time we were not disappointed. The food was delicious and well spiced. IMHO it was as good as any Indian/Nepalese I have eaten in wether in London, Birmingham or West Yorkshire. Staff are attentive, polite and not invasive. Service is prompt. A great place for a treat. We will be back. On this occasion we had Chicken Malabari, Lamb Balti with mushroom rice and cheese and chilli naan. 🌶
