The County - Carta

This is a gem of a place, serving curries as good as anything in Glasgow or beyond. If you are staying, the breakfast is also terrific with meat sourced from the nearby butcher WJ Macdonald First rate!!!

We ate here for both nights of our recent trip to Stornoway. The menu was excellent and extensive providing the opportunity for British or Indian food. The service was also excellent with friendly, efficient staff. It was no surprise that a lot of local people seem to be eating here!

We visited this hotel last weekend as a group. We however did not stay at the hotel but joined friends for dinner. The food was fantastic, very generous portions of tasty food cooked to order we thoroughly enjoyed it. The service was better the first night than the second but on the whole very good. Ver carta

AWFUL! Avoid if you are looking for a good indian meal. All ate from Indian menu. Used to be the best curry in town but now no flavour, no spice and no heat in the curries. Tasted distinctly of Heinz tomato soup!! Naan breads were basic and not very tasty. Will not recommend or eat here again. Embarrassed to have taken friends here to eat. Service was good, staff friendly and polite.

Looking for Indian food whilst working in the area, there seems to be only 2 places available, the other restaurant had nobody in so I came here as it had a good number of people eating, very glad I did, the Indian food was fantastic with lots of fresh ingredients. The girls on service where friendly and efficient. The only small downside was it was freezing cold in the restaurant but a few mouthfuls of my madras soon rectified that!!

I have eaten curries here many times and it's always very good. But this most recent was the best so far and has prompted me to leave a review! I had Lamb Rogan Josh and my friend had the vegan Amritsi Chole. Both were superb. Rogan Josh is generally a very mild dish but this had a complex and very satisfying spicing and heat that left me thinking about it for days after. I was told the Chole were similarly delicious. The Nan's were fresh and hot. Service prompt, friendly and unobtrusive. Overall excellent value. All in all, if you want a really good curry on Lewis, look no further. Ver carta

I have eaten in the Resturant a number of times and have nearly always gone for a curry. I have also had a number of takeaway curries and always enjoyed the great quality of the curries. Some of the best I have ever had. During lockdown I have had three takeaways for my wife and myself and every one of them has been very disappointing. My wife did ask the owner if the chef had changed and was told that was not the case. We keep going back thinking they had a bad night and things must get better. Friends of ours recently had a takeaway for three and said that the starters were good but only one of the mains was okay. Not sure if we will try again. Such a shame because they were so good.

Excellent food best Indian I have had for years. I had the the Lamb Madras which was excellent. I had read the previous reviews about the Indian meals and was a bit sceptical as a curry anywhere apart from a proper Indiqn restaurant is normally tasteless. This was up there with the best Indian food I have had. Would say more meat than normal, spice was perfect and the sauce was delicious. In fact so good that I ordered additional chapattis just to use up the last of the sauce half way through the meal. Not the wisest move as the very filling curry caught up with me. After a disappointing meal in a local Indian my partner went for the venison casserole which was also excellent and again excel...

Had Indian curry, Chinese stir fry and Scottish Balmoral chicken on different nights All were very authentic and very enjoyable. The portions were very generous. The table staff were all very pleasant and efficient. The restaurant had been a recommendation from the Lews Castle staff. Both husband and myself really enjoyed our experience. Reading through reviews here from the last 2years all seem very favourable so I’m assuming the rude arrogant man who was behind the bar has left or they keep him well away from the customers nowadays. Dining room is a bit dated though and could do with a more updated look. Given the ravages of 20/21 it did not spoil our enjoyment. Just an aside to our experi... Ver carta
