"A few months ago, we visited this restaurant and vowed never to return after finding the dahl curry flavorless and overly salty, despite it previously being good. However, we decided to give it another chance. The older man, who we believe is the owner, seated us without any sense of welcome, which was a stark contrast to our previous friendly experiences. We ordered cauliflower pakora from the vegan menu, only to be informed that one of the dips was not vegan. After requesting a replacement, we received our curries - a vegetable shashlik with large chunks of vegetables and a side of sauce, and a vegetable curry that was both bland and unappetizing. The portion sizes were also excessive, leaving us unable to finish our meals. Despite the lack of crowd, the service was slow. As we left, the older man did not even offer a simple thank you or goodbye. Overall, it was not a pleasant dining experience."

"Absolutely disgusted at the way my Husband has just been treated in this establishment. Came for our anniversary meal at recommendation of work collegues being new to the area following moving up from England. We asked for a table for 2, which we were given a booth straight away. After this we waited over 15 mins for a menu, i was on the verge of walking at this point to be honest, looked at numerous times by the staff but no menu. A girl came over with the menu which she brought over, we ordered 2 drinks. When the bar woman brought the drinks over she informed my husband it was a non sports pub not allowing team colours and he was not allowed to wear the top he was wearing, which was a long sleeve Rangers training jumper. I had to watch my husband shamed in to taking his jumper off in a pub AFTER ordering our drinks. He was stood at the bar when i asked for a table should it not of been mentioned then when noticed? There is no mention of this on the website and certainly not on entering the pub, no signs what so ever. I paid for the drinks and left. I will never return to this place no matter who tells me great reviews. I suggest your staff put a notice on the website and the foyer window if this is how you feel. An English gentleman from Manchester, surrounded by 4 great teams (city, utd, Liverpool and Everton) made to take of an insignificant Scottish team top is disgusting. For those reading this review, we had a lovely meal and drinks else where spending £100 quid. There loss is another restaurants gain!"

"Always a popular spot. Current restrictions have limited sitting in. The hot deli sandwiches are so tasty and highly recommended. We always opt for a mixed salad box to sample the selection as all the salads are great and full of flavour. The pastries look lovely and golden. Great value for money and definitely fast becoming a regular spot when heading to Strathaven. One thing...A better soft drink selection would be great. We get the whole artisan approach...but tbh the majority are blah or yuk! Can we just have a full fat coke please.... and from the only people really justified to call it that!? I'd rather spend all my money here than buy my lunch and then head to the co-op for a decent drink. Thanks."

"We visited the other day for the first time and we were impressed with the warm, cosy atmosphere, despite the restaurant being empty, aside from us. The staff were all wearing face masks and socially distancing, which was a thumbs up, plus it was clean inside too. The garlic bread was also delicious.Unfortunately that's where the positives end.The staff were attentive, but the restaurant seemed to be far more focused on deliveries and phone orders than on those of us within the premises. They have a VERY limited menu and, to add insult to injury, we found that one of the items we wanted was no longer being offered and should have been removed from the menu (arancini), due to lack of interest from people and limited availability of ingredients. The food also seemed to take ages to arrive and there wasn't much outlook.The pizza was well made and different to most other places, but I wasn't much of a fan, as it didn't have much cheese and included the tomato skins within the sauce. Overall I've had better, but I've definitely had worse too.I think the place was oversold to me and I had high expectations that weren't really met.Would I recommend it? Yes, it's worth a visit, as it's in a nice location and an unusual, old building.Would I go back? I wouldn't hurry back, but I'm glad I've at least tried the place.N.B. The photos included are of the empty restaurant when we first arrived and the food we had."

"This is a nice wee chip shop as far as chip shops go, in fact it's my fast food eatery of choice in the area. Parking is either outside where I reckon you could fit three cars maximum or round the corner in the Co-op car park. The Co-op operates a fining system for non-customers although I've yet to see their car park anywhere near approaching full so I think it would be ok for the ten minutes it takes to get your meal. The staff are friendly and the premises are clean. The food is well cooked (obviously they change their fat often as the chips are never soggy) and at a reasonable price. The food is the standard type you find in a chip shop, nothing fancy but good food all the same. They still sell sweets out of the jar which I find charming. You can take out or eat in at one of the few tables there are."
