"My husband and I were out in Dunfermline and thought we 'd try somewhere different for lunch. On checking the menu I noted there was a small vegan menu which meant I could eat here. I ordered the sweet potato salad £8.95. My husband, who isn 't vegan, ordered mushroom and chicken stroganoff. When the meals eventually came out the stroganoff looked really bland and the rice watery. He said it tasted ok but was not worth £9.85. My meal was placed in front of me with 2 fried eggs on the plate beside some mushy, sloppy sweet potato. I told the waitress that my meal was incorrect and she said this is the sweet potato salad . I pointed out there were eggs on the plate and she looked confused. I had to explain that eggs are not vegan (and were also not listed as being part of the meal). She took the plate away and came back a while later with more sweet potato slop that had some cranberries added and some spinach. The amount of food on the plate was pitiful. It was more like a tapas amount. I ate it as I thought it might taste better than it looked. It was bland and completely over cooked slop. The waitress came no where near us again so I had no opportunity to send the food back. When I went to pay the man at the till asked how the food was. He was shocked when I told him it was awful. In fairness to him he removed my meal from the bill and apologised which was appreciated. The chef clearly needs a lesson in what vegan food is and how to cook it properly. He also needs to learn that vegan portions need to be a lot bigger than what is currently being dished up. I won 't be retuning here again."

"Visited on a saturday night. Restuarant was more or less empty yet staff seemed to be rushing around. Quickly became evident this was due to takeaway orders The owner who is normally very friendly and recognises us as regular customers seemed less friendly. When asked at the end of the meal if everything was ok I politely stated I was disappointed with my meal but my husbands had been fine and was surprised to be challenged back that it 'looked like ' the curry I 'd ordered so I stated it didn 't taste like any kind of curry. It was chicken in a tomato sauce. I also wasnt the only person in the restuarant that night with the same experience. Therefore we requested and were quickly issued the full bill, paid and left and wont be back. Not only due to the quality of the meal but the surprising attitude displayed when we gave our requested feedback, lack of atmosphere, length of time we waited to have our drinks order taken, having the drinks ordered wrong and length of time to take our order. I had no issue with length of time waiting for freshly prepared food but if I order a certain curry I expect it to taste like that. Wht could have been a simple 'sorry about that ' could have been brushed off as a one off but the way it was handled has finished us off. Shame but I 'd rather drive over to Corstophine for a decent curry. Very sad as I 've always loved the place"
