Myself and friends had a very nice meal here. Word of warning: If you can't handle hot, spicy food, ask for the korma (which wasn't hot or spicy) or mention to the servers to tone the hottness down a bit, as the food marked spicy is very hot. The restaurant is tucked away up a small side street, which is on a hill, and there are steps inside the restaurant so people who are infirm or in a wheelchair might need assistance. The large set of stairs to the left in one of my photos leads up to the bus station. The servers were polite, prompt, and well presented. The prices were on par with similar establishments. There is on street parking for about 3 cars on Bruce Street (Council pay & display) and further parking across the road through the alleyway and down a stairway to the Glenbridge car park (again Council pay & display). Bus station 2min walk up the stairs outside.
First time here with the wife, and have to say it was really good. A very nice welcome from front of house, we assumed he was the owner. The portion size can not be knocked, quite the opposite to be honest. Didn’t have to wait long at all for the food to start arriving, but we were there at 1830hrs (6 pm). It’s a big restaurant and we felt a little lost at first until other customers started to arrive. Starters were hot, full of taste and bigger than I was expecting (I know for next time). Along came the main course and it was full of flavour and very hot. The house wines were not bad at all, we had a white & a red. Price was as expected, but it seemed to take for ever to pay the bill, having asked twice. The downer for the evening was my wife finding a hair in her starter. Which the owner tried to explain with “we don’t have any women working tonight”! If you see the colour of the wife and my hair, it could have been ours, may be 30 years ago.
Will we go back? Yes we will
My favourite Indian in Dunfermline, hands down!
A hidden gem tucked away, unassuming and easily missed. If you are the kind of person who looks inside a restaurant, sees it's empty and says that must be a sign, you couldn't be more wrong. I was guilty of the same scepticism once. The viceroy, however, will make you eat your words, as well as some proper quality curry!
Vibrant, colourful curries, and lots of them to chose from! The naan breads are MASSIVE! Like, as big as my forearm massive! Peshawari naan alongside garlic chilli chicken masala (slightly hot) has never let me down. My only regret is that I didn't take a photo to share with you.
Very friendly staff, great curries and portion sizes at reasonable prices, especially compared to another Indian in Dunfermline people probably know a lot better!
Addendum; remembered my mate had taken a photo of my hand next to the Peshawari naan bread. So much and so tasty!
