"I am sitting in my room at the sun inn as I am writing. It's a Sunday. I checked in at 8 15. The one young employee who was in the building was professional but informed me on arrival that the kitchen had closed. Bummer but it is a Sunday. Upon asking when the bar would close he told me 10pm. I decided to go to the shops and buy some cold sausage rolls and a bottle of wine to mitigate the early closing and grabbed a quick single beer in Dalkeith in a bar that closed at 11. My intention was to pay more for somewhere I could have several drinks without driving but I tried to make the best of my origional plan. I got back to the sun inn at 930 to find not a solitary light on and figured I'll watch some TV instead. Only the TV didn't work. I dismounted it after trying to configure settings on the 2 controls. The sky box was not connected sinse it was a flat wall mount and there was only a single accecible hdmi port, out of three, that could be used. That was already oucupied by the fire stick. Now it is sitting on the dresser since it cannot be remounted with both availible devices connected. 40 minutes of fooking around and nothing has changed. The bar is closed. No night porter, no TV, no breakfast and a broken bathtub. All the reasons I paid the extra to come here instead of the cheaper airport option have be removed. The room is nice though. It's as good as an airport one minus the stains on the headboard of the bed."

"Had a great time last night. The waiter looked kinda nervous (possibly new) but he gave great service and kept our drinks full and tended to anything we needed. The food was fantastic (as the first time) and yes, it can be slightly pricey, but you get what you pay for. The savoury food was delicious, the meat was fantastically tender and flavoursome, and the rice was absolutely perfectly cooked! Oh and I’ve never had a naan like that before! My only gripe, which is small in the grand scheme of things, was dessert. £5 for a dessert in this quality of restaurant is as expected, however the tiramisu and my wife’s cheesecake were both mostly frozen, and had slight freezer burn. The flavours were delicious but non-frozen would have been ideal. I do regret that I didn’t bring my wallet, as I only use card these days. I felt the staff deserved a tip and I wasn’t able to provide one. But thank you for the fantastic evening!"

"Having successfully completed a major project I took my team out as a small thank you. There were 5 of us and we arrived around 1030h for breakfast. We were greeted by the very .lovely Amy, who promptly seated us. She was polite, friendly and attentive. She took our drinks orders, then our breakfasts. We all opetd for the full Scottish at under a tenner each. The meal was fabulous, well cooked, piping hot and presented on high quality flatware with good cutlery. The sausages had a delicious crisp outer, the bacon was well done but not hard, the mushrooms were served in a wee bowl with chilli oil. The eggs were perfect, accompanied by a slice of chunky bread, haggis and black pudding. Beans finished it off brilliantly. The teapot was quirky and delightful. Alison, the owner was not only beautiful but very charming with it. She was involved in the serving of our meals and chatted to us as she served us, making us feel more than welcome. Five breakfasts with assorted lattes, cappuccinos and teas was under £70 so very reasonably priced too. I left a well deserved tip and Alison kindly let me know that the full tip always went to the serving staff, so very ethical too. My colleagues were all as suitably impressed as I was. I cannot recommend this place highly enough and the only shame is that my time in Bonnyrigg is over, and I dearly wished I'd found The Beetroot sooner."

"Although the meal in the restaurant was nice, is your restaurant description correct. Are you a Indian restaurant or a Bangladesh restaurant. As you are not from India but Bangladesh Martin.As you are aware Indian food has a different taste and ingredients are different as is the rice. Please can you tell me was my meal a Indian meal or Bangladesh meal. thank you. Finally why do you advertise your Indian restaurant authentic if not."
