Closed from September 8th to September 23rd 2023. Per their website. Bummer. Would’ve liked to try them. Maybe next time :)

We arrived at 5:45pm on Saturday 12th August and it was closed. A call to the phone number met with the message that the number didn't exist. Has this place closed for good?

Amazing food flavours, generous portions and very friendly staff. Highly recommended. Bring your own bottle is a bonus too!

What a lucky find! This small family run restaurant is one to be savoured. The food was all freshly prepared and requests for specific tastes met. If you are thinking about a meal out in Oban go no further than this little gem. We have has two of the best Indian meals here served by welcoming and cheerful staff. We would not go past it.

What a gem, amazing food, reasonably priced, take your own booze! Best Indian I've ever had. Pilau rice was exceptional.

I ordered a takeaway on a Sunday night opting for simple rice, daal and saag paneer. Never having been before I thought these were safe options. How wrong I was... I was staying at a nearby hotel where the kitchen had closed but the staff took the packages from me and plated them up. The waiter was silent when he placed the combined meal in front of me because it looked as though someone had vomited. It was a pool of watery yellow mush with, to my amazement, Brussels sprouts floating in it. Since when have sprouts been part of Indian cuisine? The paneer consisted of four diced pieces each about the size of a marble; there was no proper spinach just a trace of what looked like green slime on the plate. The mush, I can think of no other word, was tasteless; there was no evidence of cumin, coriander (despite the name of the establishment), garam masala or any Indian flavour at all. Not only that but I was charged over £16 for this rubbish. I am amazed beyond belief that this place can stay in business.

Had a fantastic take away from Coriander tonight . The food was superb . Sauce was rich and creamy and chicken cooked to perfection . Peshwari Nan was lovely . After having a chat with the counter staff who were delightful I discovered the food is cooked to order . Ver impressed and will be back .

Was looking forward to a takeaway having read reviews and been told in restaurant by fellow customers how wonderful it was. Now left questioning my expectations as overall experience well below what I’d rate as great. Firstly recieved a call to say meal was ready for collection. After short journey back to accommodation, served meal and realised lukewarm and rice was missing. Only rice however integral part of meal . Had to shovel food into oven to try to salvage anything close to an enjoyable meal. Called and told sorry we’re busy and rice was delivered 10 minutes later. Then served meal and opened sauce dish and was wrong sauce - not masal but a bitter grainy watery sauce. Meal ruined - nice tandoori chicken now cold and majority of accompaniments inedible. Peshwari naan doughy and park - not at all properly cooked. Sorry doesn’t rectify an on the whole incorrect and unenjoyable £40 meal

The best indian takeaway in Oban in my opinion. There are 3 in total but this one gives more chicken per portion and is always yummy.It's a bit tiny as a restaurant and you have to take your own alcohol I think so it's not as good as Spice World for the atmosphere.

First time here. Ordered some food to take away. Tasty and nicely cooked tandoori mixed grill though smaller portion size than what I'm used to, and no sauce. The naan bread was okay, a bit doughy. Overall though, it was good and I'd go back again and try something else.
Passed by and the menu looked good. Came later for dinner and was closed at 7.30pm on a Thursday. Nothing on the website to say it’s closed and the sign in the window says it’s open every day except Monday & Tuesday. Seems to be a bit of a theme in Oban, bit of a lottery whether places will be open or not.

We had a take out as we were staying in a hotel nearby, and didn’t fancy going out. I had murgh makhani and my wife had chicken chuttunated .. with onion Bahji.. a pesweri nan and mushroom rice .. all was absolutely delicious!!! The flavours were spot on and the chicken was real breast .. not cubed reformed stuff !! Bahgi’s we’re big and delicious too !!

I've only ordered for delivery from here hence no atmosphere rating although I have heard that the staff are cheerful and accomodating. Good food.

Having hung around half the afternoon waiting on this restaurant to open at 5pm as website says. we walked in the POURING RAIN to realise the restaurant was CLOSED...... THE WEBSITE DID NOT INDICATE THIS. We did however go to the start of town and enjoyed a five star Indian meal there which we have recommended and will return to in the future. Very very disappointing that you wouldn't update the people who travel to enjoy!!!!
