Throughout our meal, we were constantly asked if we were finished, even while we were still eating. Once the other diners left, the music was turned off and the staff started speaking loudly about us still being there, even though they had asked us multiple times if we were finished. This was only about 10 to 15 minutes after we received our main course. We were also halfway through an overpriced bottle of wine that cost £24.95, which you can buy at Tesco for £6. The staff laughed when I told them we could hear everything they were saying about us.
When we asked to speak with the manager, he blamed a staff member and made unpleasant, personal comments about her. He became agitated and comp...
I must say, this was one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. I had planned to enjoy a long overdue dinner with a close friend, but instead we were met with non-existent customer service and a lackluster atmosphere. The wine was overpriced and marked up by 400%, and the staff seemed more interested in rushing us out the door than providing a pleasant dining experience. It's baffling how businesses like this manage to stay afloat when they clearly prioritize profit over customer satisfaction. Throughout the meal, we were repeatedly bothered by staff, talked about in front of us, and made to feel unwelcome. The restaurant had no atmosphere, was freezing cold, and served small porti...
I was part of a party of 10 friends who got together for a curry a few beers and a good catch-up on Saturday 10th Dec. We have used Derbar several times for this and we were not disappointed! Yet again the food was excellent and our host and his staff were attentive friendly. I had Chicken Tikka Bhoona. Not on the menu, but I prefer it made with Tikka than plain chicken and it was no problem for them to provide it. The chicken was delicious, with the Tikka flavour combining beautifully with the depth of flavours in the Bhoona sauce. A real treat. The rice was perfect the Naan breads were perfectly cooked. We all had a great time and we will not hesitate to use Derbar for our next catch-up. M...
Having seen the previous reviews I was sceptical but keen for a curry so I went. The restaurant is bright, clean and a nice place to eat. I had the vegetable pakora and the Chicken Tikka Bhuna. Both were delivered, the tikka bhuna was outstanding with so many complex flavours. The service was friendly and efficient. I read that others have had challenges with service, but I think they have to remember this is a very remote Highland village and not top end London. I think the people of Banchory are lucky to have such good Indian food in this remote and beautiful place. Thank you.

Was a bit worried about recent reviews but with 3 Carnivores, 2 Vegetarians and 2 Vegans felt an Indian Restaurant was the safest bet. We weren't disappointed. We had a wide selection of dishes which were all excellent. My wife had the Tarka Daal and Vegetable Fried Rice which were both delicious whilst I had Chicken Jalfrezi and a Paratha. The Jalfrezi was very tasty, a perfect heat, too hot for most but not ludicrous and the paratha was flaky and perfect. Will definitely go back if we are ever in Banchory again.
We dined at this restaurant on a Friday evening in March 2022. The menu offers a wide variety of Indian dishes as well as house specialties. They serve Kingfisher lager on tap. The service and food were both outstanding. The restaurant has a bright and modern atmosphere. The only downside is the set of stairs leading from the street to the entrance. It appears that there may be no disabled access available unless there is another entrance that we are unaware of.
What an amazing menu to choose from in the first place and was not disappointed in the food or the kingfisher on tap! Unusual dishes as well the expected ones. Every dish was extremely flavoursome and well seasoned. The lamb was tended and plentiful and the chicken moist and tender. Even the breads were the best ever! Finished off with a special Pakistani tea by request. Great food, great location and lovely family owner. Thank you!
I visited here with my friend recently and the service was terrible. Walked in got ignored I had to ask if we could be seated and the service was so slow as well. Would not recommend anyone to visit here.

We have been going here for years for both sit in and takeaway. Really excellent food and Mohamed (owner) is ace. Friendly service with a great selection of food.
I was there for work. Ideal if you don't want an itemised bill for expenses. Chicken tikka achari was spot on. Friendly service.
