Great food. Excellent service. Amazed it was not booked full as this restaurant is the best Indian in the East of Scotland.

We love Itihaas! My husband and I travel frequently- across Europe, to America and further beyond. This is one of our very favourite restaurants. We come often and have never been disappointed. My husband is strict vegetarian and loves the choices on the menu. His favourite is the achari baingain! The staff are lovely - friendly, attentive and give excellent recommendations. If something we want is not in the menu, they will make it for us. My husband loves the lassi with toasted cumin (which is not on the menu, but always made special for him!)The owner, Matin always takes the time to chat with us and check we are happy. A special thanks to Syed, Dipu and Nicky and their newest waitress Muskan. Huge thank you to all. We love it here and it is always an extra special night out. We cannot recommend it highly enough! xx

Service above and beyond... A friend of invited mine invited me to lunch at this restaurant. It was quite a distance from my home and there were plenty of other curry restaurants much nearer and I hoped it was worth the journey. The lunch cost £12.95 for two course and £13.95 for three courses. The number of starters to choose from was good with a choice of about six. The main menu was quite lengthy for a lunch time menu and nearly everyone would find something to their liking. I had chicken cutlets as a starter and chicken Jalfrezi excellent by the main course, Jalfrezi, really hit the spot. However, I wish to comment on the service. The staff were very attentive but not intrusive. When I was leaving I first used the facilities and did not return to the table. When I was walking up the street, quite a distance from the restaurant the gentleman who had served me came running after me, in his shirt sleeves, in the pouring rain! I had left my mobile phone on the table! Now that is what I call service above and beyond the call of normal service.

Always an excellent meal Have eaten here a few times over the last couple of months and have been meaning to do a review. Food is excellent. Always freshly cooked and piping hot. We either have lamb or chicken dishes and the meat is always tender and juicy, never dry or fatty. Staff are excellent. Always friendly, professional and attentive. Would definitely recommend.

Very tasty! Very tasty. We had sag paneer and aloo bhindi as mains with veg pakora starter and pappadoms with pickles. I asked for garlic rice and they accommodated us. It was probably the best garlic rice I’ve had. Having eaten in restaurants in both Pakistan and India, as well as over the uk, I’m a bit fussy with my ‘curry’s’. I was pleasantly surprised as I’d never heard of the place and it was a friends recommendation. I’m sure il be back. Friendly waiting staff and gentle background music. If anything, I’d have preferred it slightly darker but that’s just me. Prices very reasonable for quality of food. 5 stars from me!

My husband and I went for lunch today. The price advertised on website was £8.95 for a 2 course lunch was £12.95, bit of a difference from price on website which is obviously false advertising and needs to be amended.

The food was nice enough tho not a huge portion..

Simply outstanding food. One of the best curries I’ve ever had and I’ve had a few. Great service also. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
