We have used Ekam Palace quite alot and always order exactly the same dishes and the food is always excellent until last night, our order was delivered and was missing the Nan bread we called and this was quickly rectified, the food was cold and had to be reheated we ordered fried rice and were given boiled rice, we were very hungry by this point so heated the food and ate it. We did notice a big reduction in the amount of chicken. Fingers crossed it was just a blip as we really enjoy the food they make as the quality is always spot on.

Just finished eating at the restaurant and the food was delicious, decent sized portions, currys were filled with meat, service was friendly. Will definitely return. Only negative was the radio was just playing bbc1 haha.

This is the worst Indian restaurant I have been in. The buffet was awful. We were given dirty plates, there was no meat in the dishes and we had to ask for some chicken to be put in. We had to order rice rather than it being in the buffet. All the floors were slippy, like they had all been cleaned with the same greasy mop. Toilets were filthy and full of mould and the kitchen was disgusting. I have no ideas how the place passes food hygiene standards. Disgusting. Don’t waste your money by eating here.

We have ordered from our local curry house many times and have alway's been happy with the service and meal. Although this particular weekend ( revival) we ordered our usual and 3 hours later we were still waiting - being told, it is only 15mins away! On the last call we made, asking when our order would be delivered, they asked us to RE-ORDER ? not exceptable! If they had just been honest at the start, it would have been better, allowing us to order from somewhere else. Very dissapppinted!:

I ordered online, and a arrived to collect, order had not processed so had to wait 10mins, don’t let that put you off, the food was superb, I live down south in England, this was really good Indian food, the South Indian garlic and chilli was top tier, as well as the other curries we ordered. I’ve got nearly 2 weeks of my holiday left , so I’ll be going back for round 2 ???

Ordered a carry out on a Saturday evening at 8pm. Waited 3 hours and did not deliver. Tried to telephone and cancel on 3 occasions and did not answer the phone. Very unprofessional and unreliable service. I would definitely NOT use this restaurant again.

Having arrived in Dunoon to find everyhere booked or closed, this was a nugget of a find. The restaurant is situated in an old building but the inside is more akin to a 1970s/80s office than somewhere you would eat; nevertheless don't let that put you off, the food is excellent. You can off the menu but they were also had a help yourself but buffet on the go. A whole section of starters, breads and salad, as well as about eight different mains, a couple of rices and a vegtable section. Me and the wife both had a full plate of startes, and both went up twice to the mains section. Just trying a bit of everything. It was all very good and with two large and one small bottle of Cobra, it only come to around £ 45.

I should have gone with my gut feeling as I slid into the place because of the grease on the floor!! Food all tasted the same! Not good.

Arrived 6pm for buffet advertised starting 4:30 pm . In the restaurant entrance we had to negotiate our way through a staff meeting - a chef in filthy apron and whites , another one also in less than clean uniform and another 2 gentlemen , it had the feeling of staff argument. When inside there was no buffet set up - we were told it would be out soon. We reflected on the cleanliness of cooks uniforms and left without eating. Very disappointed.
been getting food from here since opening up again(new owners)usually order on the phone for pick up.phoned in last night (21st)went to shop to pick up as usual.everything as normal as i waited for my collection to come out kitchen.then 2 kitchen staff appeared from a side door,one elderly guy with an apron on (presumably the main chef),he was covered in so much curry stains and whatever else he had been dealing with in the kitchen(really looked as if it hadnt been washed for weeks,disgusting)also a younger male appeared(with his normal clothes on(no manky apron)he was covered in head to toe in food stains also.it was disgusting to see and made me think what it must be like in the kitchen hygeine wise.surprise surprise,we have had 2 family members up all night sick after eating a chicken curry meal,others had lamb and they are ok.i wont be eating anything out here again after what i saw while waiting on my order.not a good advert and will put you off if you see what i seen??

Food was mediocre, would have been better without the waiters thumbs in it

The food is really delicious, but I can't reccomend ordering from Ekam Palace (through Just Eat).2/3 times the food is over an hour late, or just never arrives. When calling the restaurant to enquire, they give you little information other than 'it's on it's way'. We live less than half a mile away, and waited 2 hours for our order before deciding to ask for a refund and ordering food from somewhere else.
