"My husband and I paid a visit to our favourite local restaurant tonight and as usual we were not disappointed. Even though it was very busy Dhruba the proprietor squeezed us in and gave us a lovely welcome. Usually we order from the extensive menu but we decided to try the buffet for a change. It was fantastic from start to finish. Our very attentive waitress brought us our wine and after a few minutes she informed us that the freshly cooked starters were ready. We had a huge choice including poppadoms with numerous dips. So yummy ! We had to remind ourselves that this was not the main part of the meal. My husband ordered a cheese naan and once it arrived at our table we returned to the buffet for our main course. What to choose ? There were a selection of 9 different curries ranging from mild to medium/ hot. Something for everyone. I think I tried 6 but had no room for anymore. All were exceptional. Loved them all. Included in the buffet price is 2 scoops of ice cream which was very welcome and slid down very well after after a lovely spicy meal. I can’t recommend the 4 Cs highly enough. We love it."

"We had been to this restaurant before, but it has been beautifully renovated since our last visit. At first, we thought it was closed when we arrived because of the exterior changes, but we were pleasantly surprised to find it open with a bright and airy dining room. We decided to dine here because one of our party has a gluten intolerance, and we were pleased to see they had a similar menu with excellent options. The food was exceptional, with stunning presentation and unique crockery. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The restaurant was impeccably clean, including the spotless restroom. We highly recommend this hidden gem and will definitely be returning in the future. A truly amazing dining experience."

"First visit at the invitation of a friend who is a regular visitor. We had Afternoon Tea. To call it that does not do it justice. It was not Afternoon Tea, it was an Afternoon Experience. Something very special. The food, the service, the atmosphere is exceptional. The couple who own and run the restaurant should be really proud of what they have achieved. It was our first visit but certainly won’t be our last."

"This was our second visit to this restaurant, we enjoyed it on a prior visit to Aberdeen to visit our Daughter, who we were out celebrating her birthday. The staff are great, the food tastes delicious and the restaurant is really well decorated. It’s a shame it’s in an industrial estate and not on a country road or a busy city. The staff offered a taster for my mother in law who can’t handle anything with spice. The little touches of consideration made the whole meal experience even better. Thank you to the staff of this gem of a hidden away restaurant"

"Simply the best roast dinner of my life Everything was so superlative I had to force myself not to eat fast. Each individual item on the plate was the best of its kind I have ever had. Before you think I am a friend of the restaurant owners I am visiting from England and went with friends : Met at the door by a lovely gent who sat us and took our drinks order. Served by others who were non Intrusive and only interested in making our meal an excellent experience. I cannot explain how amazing the roast was. The meat was perfection, the honey flavoured veg was divine. The potatoes were unlike any I have ever had. Now the “Skirlie” I have neither seen nor eaten before. What a treat!! It was like the chef wanted to show off and this was his opus. Simply brilliant from start to finish. I am positive I will never have a better roast dinner Amazing work to all involved Thank you. Peter “The American” living in England."

"asked to go because in our humble opinion .. the tablet with beats for our poppadome saw a little tired. I asked for a new one. bizarre! and shocking bad customer support. I'm sorry, but true."

"We loved the Clachan Grill! This is gonna sound like a long story. But it's not. We ended up in Ballater on a cold rainy Sunday afternoon in December. The Clachan Grill was the only place open and weren't we lucky. We were the only diners and were greeted by the manager who served us as well. We sat at a table next to a cozy sleepy fire in a wood burning stove. The ambiance was perfect after a day at Balmoral Castle, Crathie Kirk and the ruins of St Manir's Church. We ordered some beers, and for supper chose the Turkey Roulade Sunday Roast and the Chicken Sunday Roast, each served with brussel sprouts, potatoes, carrots, bread and cranberry compote. It was all so delicious and they could not have been nicer or more relaxed. Other diners arrived closer to supper time and a din filled the dining room. For afters, I ordered a dram of Royal Lochanagar Whisky awakened with a few drops of water, and learned about the bartenders favourite whiskies to try as we continue our visit to Scotland. We could have stayed for hours, but we ended our evening short. Unlike this review. Sorry, turned out to be long after all."

"The food at this restaurant is incredibly tasty and comes at a great value. I would definitely return. The portion sizes are also good. My only complaint is that the spicy onions were not spicy enough, but everything else was fantastic."

"Wow. Not been here since it was under new management by the Nichols. And what a wonderful, friendly, cafe it is with superb food coming out of the kitchen. My wife had the posh homemade fish finger butty and I had the pulled pork with dauphinoise potatoes and a perfectly poached egg on top. Proper home baked cheesecake and coffee followed before we waddled off! Definitely our new go to place. Highly recommended. Food: 5"

"We recently visited the Finzean Estate Farm Shop On a Saturday drive.We ordered 2 soups for lunch.Would have preferred the soup to be thicker but tasted lovely. It was a busy day and we were seated on a table with the possibility others would also sit beside us which we would have preferred not to be the case but luckily no other guests arrived.The bread and oatcakes offered were substantial and very nice.I would recommend if you are out for a drive and fancy a light lunch!"

"My partner ordered macaroni and onion rings, was very nice, waitress was nice and polite. I ordered the Ribeye done medium with surf and turf, received it well done and tough as an old boot, had it sent back and received the same again as a replacement, cooked ever so slightly less well done but still incredibly tough and unpleasant. Owner/manager proceeded to tell me it was my opinion and I was wrong and that the steak was perfectly fine and he had no complaints before, they refused to taste the steak to see how terribly tough it was. The owner was incredibly arrogant towards me regarding the complaint and had the audacity to charge me full price for the steak. I had two bites over all and paid £36 for the privilege. Couldn 't in good faith recommend the place. Owner needs to fix his delusional and arrogant behaviour. Update* After doing some research on the advertised Black gold beef they claim its all reared and grass fed in Aberdeenshire but I have found its a product of Woodford which are a company based down south, so it 's blatant false advertising. Frozen, tough and chewy steak from England for £36 and they are situated in a farming town 6 miles from the best beef in Scotland, insulting really!"

"We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The woman who helped us with our last-minute reservation was extremely friendly and helpful. The bar had a fresh and modern décor that we really enjoyed. Despite being busy, the staff were attentive and efficient. The food was delicious and exactly what we were craving – simple pub fare. Overall, a great experience."

"Went for again for lunch today and it was the same great service and good value food. Tried a pizza myself and it was great, bit more cheese than I am used to but still a good pizza. This was my first bought pizza for many years as an owner of quite a few pizza ovens of various styles then I prefer to make my own from scratch but this one was very good, nice browned crust, not overloaded with toppings and very tasty. The others enjoyed there fish and chicken fillets with nice batter and freshly fried chips. Got to be the best place in Dyce for lunch."

"Starter was dreadful. Ordered scallops and tiger prawns. Scallops tiny, undercooked, tasteless and swimming around in green water. Tiger prawns were chewy tasteless over cooked shrimps. Unrecognisable really. They’d be better removing those from the menu as put us off completely. The curries were ok. Tiniest portion of chips tho and even tho we ordered different curries they both tasted the same. Place was mobbed and everyone else seemed to be raving about their food so maybe we were just unlucky. The service was ok and they did reduce the bill slightly. We never really complain and aren’t fussy eaters but the starters ruined it for us. The wine was good tho!"

"Been here several times with intention of chatting and having several coffees. Seating is upstairs and order and cash desk are downstairs as you come in. Thing is that this facility also has to deal with the take-away service of drinks, ice cream etc and a queue builds up. Irrespective of whether you are sitting in or using take-away you join the same queue which can be out on the street. This can be annoying enough for the first order but for further orders it feels totally inappropriate. The staff are very pleasant and the coffees are quite acceptable but those running the business really need to find a solution to the above issue in my opinion. I know one of my friends suggested we have a look for alternative venues next time we meet, which is a shame as otherwise a great location and ambience. On an earlier visit (ie not June) I mentioned to above issue which I described as not working for the sitting in customers to which I was given the reply Oh well it works for us . I 'm not often lost for words.! Nearly a very good little coffee shop."

"Have been coming here for 18 years and have never been disappointed with the food and service. Food is amazing, I especially like the chefs specials and you can choose the hotness level. Service is excellent and you are never waiting on anything. Maybe doesn’t have the wow factor in the decor front but the food and service certainly more than makes up for it. Would highly recommend it to anyone. Service: Dine in"

"I dined in the restaurant in December 2022 with some friends. I asked the waiter what I could order because I have a dairy allergy, he said I could order a pizza with vegan (dairy free) cheese on it, so this is what I ordered. The table then ordered some starters to share, so I asked if I could eat any of them that came out. The owner then said I could eat the garlic bread pizza, as it was olive oil spread that was used to make this. When I asked to see the packaging I saw this contained buttermilk, which I obviously could not have! So untrusting of what I could eat I decided not to eat any of the starters and wait for my dairy free pizza that I was assured would be safe for me to eat. When the main course arrived the waiter came out with one pizza first and said it was the dairy free one, which I took. Then once everyone had their meals I asked the waiter again, if this is the dairy free pizza to which he said yes. Taking the word of the staff I started to eat a small bit of the pizza, and quickly felt my lips hurting, so then checked again and the owner came out and said no it was the wrong pizza I had been given. Which after checking 5 times if this was going to be safe for me to eat, it was not! I then had to take some medication and leave the restaurant and had a bad allergic reaction when I got home. I can't get over how badly the restaurant dealt with my allergy and there is obviously no protocol in place to deal with someone with an allergy and staff not properly trained on this either. It's bad enough I had to miss out on my evening and next day too, with feeling unwell, but for someone else with an anaphylactic reaction this may have been their life. Allergies are very, very serious and this should be dealt with appropriately in this restaurant. They did not check on me after I left the restaurant to see if I was ok directly. When I contacted the restaurant afterwards they apologised and said I could go in for a free meal, which I have declined as I don't feel safe to do so. I sincerely hope they take this seriously in the future and revisit their protocols. Please be aware of this if dining here."

"We were pleased to get a last minute booking for lunch on a Saturday and on arrival were happy with their covid measures. A nice bright restuarant and we had a lovely view but that was luck as only 1 great window.Went for the lunch menu which is good value but noted for the a la carte still only 3 mains and a special which felt a little limiting perhaps just a consequence o the pandemic.Drinks arrived promptly with some bread which was a little dry.Staters we had a ham hock terrine (came with a pickled onion despite me saying did not want onions with main and not being listed) however it was pleasant and enjoyed the prune giving sweetness egg yolk dots did not offer much however. Hubby had gravalax with beetroot which was pleasant enough.For mains hubby had sea bass which was perfectly cooked but my rolled pork shoulder was a little disappointing (this time served with a charred spring onion despite the no onion request). It was a bit chewy and not enough of the fat either cooked off or removed. The polenta lacked the advertised parmesan flavour but was very crispy and the confit carrot tasty.Desserts we had the rice pudding which was yummy with cinnamon and apple but whilst the banana cake was tasty and moist it was fridge cold when warm would have been so much better. The chocolate sorbet served on the side was nice enough but not as expected as it was light suggesting perhaps a milk or drinking chocolate when I expected something darker anyway for those who remember tasted a bit like a mini milk lolly!Fudge with coffee seemed wrong in Scotalnd we prefer tablet but there you go. Last gripe was £4.20 for a double espresso seemed steep compared to other charges.Overall it was ok but little tweaks could make significant difference.Now one thing they can do nothing about but worth knowing and please take care is how uneven the steps were. We were lucky it was a dry day and I'm only 48 but they really felt worrying."
