"We have been looking forward to trying this restaurant for a long time and are so pleased it lived up to our high expectations. We ordered the fish fry starter, the meen pollichathu, and the kappa meen curry and all had deep, nuanced spices that really lifted the natural flavours of the fish. The ap … more pam -- recommended by our very friendly and helpful server -- had a fantastic texture, crispy on the edges and soft in the middle, with a pleasant sour flavour. The lemon rice was so good it could have been eaten as a main dish, but as an accompaniment to the fish curries it was perfect. As for drinks, the triveni is an amazing triple-layered 'mocktail' with blended kiwi on the bottom, mango in the middle, and strawberry on top, while the salted lassi goes perfectly with the spices. We were too full to have a sweet, but we will return to try them in future! It's a fantastic restaurant, and such a great addition for Aberdeen. As a bonus, we were very pleased to find that this restaurant stays open late -- perfect for after a show in the evening. Wonderful service and cooking! "

"We went here as a group of 4 after a gig, it was late on Sunday night so we were the only ones there. I ordered the Oxtail stew, its was delicious and if I lived in Aberdeen I’d be ordering this easily once a month. The meat fell of the bone, excellent seasoning and good portion of meat (the left … more overs were swiftly demolished by boyfriend). The rice was light and well seasoned and the sauce had a great depth of flavour. Ordered the plantain side dish, also really moreish but maybe a little more in terms of size and portion would have been good. The waitress was knowledgeable of the menu and was prompt with service and making sure our drinks were toped up. I will go here again when I'm next in Aberdeen. "

Very happy indeed - service was great, staff were welcoming, a pleasant window seat, the whole place clean and tidy, really good. The fillet steak was just the tiniest bit disappointing, nothing major, just not quite spot on, hence the 9 score.

The views, food, and service is excellent! Make sure to book a reservation! The walk from the beach is very nice and passes lovely old fishing cottages -- the walk through the industrial side is less appealing.
