We were on a road trip to Scotland from UK and wanted to have an Indian food. We reached Inverness around 9 pm and found about this place. This place is located at very ideal and easily approachable location. The joint claims it is Indian but it is actually a Bangladeshi owned joint. However the ambience was really good - the joint was spacious and having nice Indian menu. The food was so good, the service was so fast. An ideal place to have comparatively a good Indian meal on foreign land.
Nice Indian restaurant with a fine dining feel inside. Not the best or probably most authentic Indian food, as I’m sure some of the tastes have been modified for European tastes but it is an island of flavour in a sea of quite bland food (guess I’m not a fan of British/Scottish food). The chicken biryani is delicious and flavourful. The Dahl was quite bland though and the texture was almost puréed. Service was lovely, professional and efficient. Would definitely recommend this place while in Inverness.
First time eating here and certainly won't be last. Food was lovely. So tasty. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Definitely recommend 👌
Service is fast. Food is also top quality. We ordered soup which was great and yummy. Chicken tikka was also delicious. Chicken biryani tasted good and quantity is good enough for 2 moderate people. I also ordered a vegetable platter. It included onion bhaaji, mushroom bhaji and veg samosa. It wasn't that great, but not many options are available for vegetarians, so you have to compromise. Overall great experience. Must visit for great food. 👍👍
So delicious! The lamb was so tender, it broke apart when I just touched it with my fork - this was truly melt-in-the-mouth. The flavours were spot-on! The spices were right, and the taste had us raving about it for days afterwards. The staff was also so friendly. The food arrived quickly. Would absolutely recommend it.
We loved the food except for the Naan bread which had an odd texture. Service was great though it kind of felt like a one woman show with lots of waiters hanging around and one waitress running around.
Excellent service from polite staff. We didn't have a reservation but they found us a table anyway. The food was made quickly and tasted exquisite. The inside of the restaurant was clean and tastefully decorated and furnished.
Best Indian in Inverness!!! Food is amazing and all the staff are lovely! Always so friendly! There nan breads are so good!

We wanted to get some North Indian food on our Scotland trip after a long day, and luckily, Sam's was open until later. As vegetarians, we were told that it was mainly a non-vegetarian place but we could get a few veggie options. We opted out of getting any fried starters as we were told that they were fried in the same oil along with meat.
We went straight for the mains: Butter Tandoori Roti, Butter Chapati, Kadai Mix Vegetable, Saag Paneer and Dal Tadka with a side salad of onion/lemon/chilies. The food was really well made and we enjoyed it and would recommend.
However, the only thing that could be better was the service - we did not feel welcome. We did not receive a smile or any greetings throughout the experience. The staff was polite but curt and lacked the warmth and hospitality that one would appreciate when dining in. Not a single waiter from the many once came by to ask how we were doing and whether we needed anything or to even inform us that the kitchen was closing and we should place any last orders we may have. However, I think this may just be towards certain groups of people because I saw them smile at and check in on local-looking folks.
Brother-in-law and sister brought me here sat eve. Best Indian in Inverness, and I agree. The food was delicious. Good wine menu.
Hi visited here when we stopped in Inverness and wanted a curry. I believe at the time (27/07/20) this was the only Indian restaurant open due to Covid.
They had hand sanitizers at the entrance and within the restaurant. They requested your name address and telephone to comply with Covid rules for test and trace.
We ordered a chicken Tika Jaipuri and a saag curry. The food was good and made fresh. The peppers and onions in the curry were crunchy. The curry was hot but not as spicy as I would have liked it but it was still good.
The staff were friendly and helpful.
The restaurant was clean and was happy with the surroundings.
I paid £43 for one starter two mains one rice one Nan and two rotis with two drinks. So was avarage I think.
We stayed at the Travel lodge in the city centre and it was a 5 min walk.
I hope this helps you and if it did please like.
Went for dinner last night. Ordered simple Indian food. Excellent taste. Just like back home. Superb service. And the place was buzzing with people. Locals and tourists. Must tell you something about the place.
If you want good Indian food in Inverness, for any reason you can't go wrong with Sam's>
We always order our takeaway from Sam's. Just love it as a Saturday treat. Tonight I forgot to order the mango chutney etc to go with our poppadoms & phoned in and they were so kind as they declined my offer to pay for the chutneys. The food as always was delicious.Thank you Sam's and your staff
