First time going to Sunday family buffet. Was very disappointed at the tiny selection. 2 starters one if which was cauliflower. Only 1 rice and 3 main courses to choose from and lots of lettuce. The nan bread was main to order and was good..The food however was tasty.It was a soul less place with no atmosphere .I was not impressed with staff cleaning the entire table lifting mats too with wet cloth whilst we were sitting and still had our drinks to finish. Smell of disinfectant wasn't pleasant.As we have a lack of Indian restaurants in our area we may try another time but order from the menu before we write it off .

Love our local Indian restaurant.Ali and his team know their food and how to look after their customers.We've been going here for year's and can't remember a bad experience.Kid-friendliness: Great buffet on the weekend an excellent way to introduce kids to the wide range of flavours on offer.

Appalling service. I called to order a meal for collection. Took ages to get through and when I did I was asked to ‘ hold a minute’ . I spent just over 10 minutes listening to people taking orders then they hung up on me! Have had take out from there before but I will not be back. Would give zero stars if I could.

Great food every time I visit, big varied menu with good options and portion sizes. Service can be a hit or a miss, it can be slow or rude/chaotic. Interior is outdated and could do with being updated.

Got a family dinner takeaway with 4 different curries, and every one of them was excellent.

An enjoyable meal, the starters were excellent, tasty, and fresh. Lamb main was again delicious. Unfortunately, the chicken was a bit tasteless, the sauce was lovely but the chicken was lacking in tast. Need marinated longer. There was on street parking around the corner but only three spaces in front of the restaurant. The atmosphere in the restaurant itself was lacking. It did improve when some background music was finally put on. First World problems, I know, but that's just my views.

If you are looking for quality Indian food and decent service - don’t go. I love a vegetable Biryani and order this from Indian restaurant that I go to. I was really disappointed with it and I would go as far to say that it was the worst one that I have ever had. They use frozen veg - specifically a pea, green bean, carrot & sweetcorn mix. Usually a biryani would have cauliflower, broccoli, potato’s chickpeas etc but none of the fresh stuff is used. The rice was also mushy and tasteless. The garlic naan was dry & flowery and there was nothing garlic about it. We were offered one drink when we arrived and once we were finished our glasses lay empty for a while. There were no offers of more drinks. We asked if we could order more drinks but no one came to take our order. We had to ask 3 different people on 3 separate occasions to order more drinks. We were barely finished our main course and the bill was put down in front of us. I asked if we could have dessert or teas and coffees and was told quite abruptly ‘we’re closed’ this was at 9.25pm The right thing to do would have been to ask if we wanted anything else before the kitchen closed at 9.30 instead of putting our bill on the table without anyone asking for it. I would be more understanding about the lack of service if the restaurant was busy however, we were one of 5 occupied tables in there!
First takeaway delivery. Very impressed with quality of food. Charming delivery driver and delicious food. Will definitely order again.

Honestly can’t rate this place highly enough. The service both takeaway and in-restaurant is always friendly and they deliver some of the best tasting curry I’ve had. One of Haddington’s gems for sure

Table of 11 at the Buffet last night when we all enjoyed an excellent meal, good variety of choice of very good quality. The service too made a significant contribution to the all round enjoyment of the occasion. Well done Ali for your ongoing successful management of the Eastern Eye. Much appreciated. Hope to be back before too long.
