Jahingir in St. Andrews delivered a Christmas Day experience beyond expectations. The restaurant's warm atmosphere and child-friendly ambiance set the stage for a memorable celebration.

Impeccable service and a thoughtful blend of festive decor made it an exceptional Christmas dining experience. Jahingir is a gem for those seeking a perfect balance of great food, family-friendly ambiance, and a touch of serenity.

Visited for lunch yesterday. Central location. Spotlessly clean restaurant and bathrooms. Excellent choice from lunch menus. Reasonable prices and customer service first class. Highly recommend.

Staff very professional and welcoming. Meal was perfectly prepared and delicious. Amenities and restaurant was clean and looked as though they had been newly decorated.

Garlic king prawns only 2.. for that price you would expect 3 at a minimum.Poppadum's were chewy like they had been left out over night.Chicken tikka was full of heat, not what I was expected, leading to having no taste in my mouth, so in the end had to throw it away as couldn’t eat itVery disappointed will not be going back there when I’m back in St Andrews.

Had a takeaway from this restaurant whilst visiting Scotland. I have to say this is the worst curry I have ever had. Very strange sauces, no real flavour just heat. Have had bad stomach issues since. Would not recommend.

Good place. Booked a table but they told me the student menu (at that time ; which isn't available now) was not available for in-person dining since it's easter (something they hadn't mentioned on the website). Was forced to get take-out and ruin my reservation :(Good food otherwise. Staff feels like they're always in a rush and want you out of there asap to get more service (even on the phone).

The food & service was first class. Possibly the best North Indian Garlic Chicken I’ve ever had. All staff were professional. Very attentive but not in a way that bothers you by interrupting your meal constantly. Would highly recommend a visit to this restaurant. Booking essential as very busy.

The ambiance of the restaurant was pleasant, on first impressions.However, the noise was intense like a factory canteen. The seating is cramped and the overpacked restaurant, creates a claustrophobic overheated environment.People were shouting over one another in an ever increasing frenzied manner, large groups of male diners creating most of the noise. This certainly wouldn’t be somewhere you would go for a romantic dinner date on a Saturday evening.This should have been quelled by the arrival of the food, which was less than impressive. Bland tasteless was the consensus of the six of us having dinner.We wouldn’t ever contemplate a return visit to this restaurant…… worth missing, is the best advice.

Was given enough rice for a 5 year old child and had the thali which was awful flavour. There would be more flavour in a ready meal curry from aldi. Would not

Such a special place. Been coming for years and always very welcoming. Plus food is outstanding.
Our recent experience at this curry house was undeniably disappointing. It began with chewy poppadoms that failed to set a good first impression. Unfortunately, the disappointment continued with the main dishes. The chicken tikka masala was dreadful, lacking seasoning and having a watery consistency. The Lahore tikka was equally unimpressive, with a bland taste and clumpy texture. Regrettably, this was the worst Indian meal my party and I have ever had.However, amidst the culinary letdown, there was a silver lining - the chicken pakora. It stood out as the sole redeeming factor, offering a satisfying flavour and texture compared to the rest of the dishes.Overall, our dining experience here was far from what we had hoped for. The lack of seasoning, consistency issues, and underwhelming flavours left us unsatisfied. Sadly, we won't be returning to this restaurant, and I cannot recommend it to others seeking a quality Indian meal.

Very tasty chicken tikka and lamb kebab, dresh salad and Nan. Very nice food. Lovely people. You must book or do as I did. Order the carry out and go sit eating it looking at the beach!! Glorious. Remember also to use the bins with the rubbish!!

Regularly visit this place and have never been let down. Food and service always on point and always busy with a good vibe. Never heard a bad word about this place ?

Friday 5.30 pm, no reservation for 2 adults and 2 kids. Quickly seated in a busy restaurant and the service was GREAT! Patient and attentive staff with food served quickly, all important when dining with children.Also, there was a good recommendation on vegetarian dish and on ordering a half portion for one of the children.Food was excellent.Highly recommend ??Vegetarian options: Basically, anything could be vegetarian. I didn't find specific vegetarian dishes as was trying to menu decifer 2 small humans at the same time.Kid-friendliness: Super friendly staff! All patient and attentive with smiles. It was no problem for them to wait for each child to read the entire soft drink menu themselves, which I really valued! And an extra wee chocolate for them when I paid the bill. These kindnesses mean a lot.Parking: On street parking is free after 5pm but it was busy. I dropped my MIL and kids and drove to park a short distance away.Wheelchair accessibility: Dining area is down steps and I don't think there is a ramp.

I had the most amazing takeaway from Jahangir tonight. There was a time when there was two big Indian restaurants in St Andrews… that time has ended.The spicy poppadoms were slightly moist but everything else was 10/10. Also amazing chatt pat
