Not sure about this place. Soup was ok but main not great.Perhaps because it was a monday night or perhaps because they get a high turnover of non regulars.

i would recommend the staging post to everyone.there is a great atmosphere and children are also welcome. the food is really well priced and is home made and tasty.

Without a doubt, the best Mexican food I have had. The staff were super-friendly without being over the top. The restaurant is spotless and relaxed. I loved it and am already planning when to return!

Very good authentic cuisine

Recently we spent a wonderful evening at The Old Bank Restaurant, to celebrate our Anniversary. The food was delicious. We were pleasantly surprised by the large choice of daily specials as well as a varied A la carte to choose from. The food arrived piping hot and the serving were generous. The desserts were equally satisfying and we were having such a lovely evening in tastefully decorated surrounding that we relaxed with liqueur coffees! What a treat it was. A huge thank you to the staff for a memorable evening. We will DEFINATELY be back for more. PS. I should mention that my wife is vegetarian and she also had a variety of different dishes to choose from.

Ate here the other night and took some friends with us. The choice of starters was excellent and although the menu was only on one page there was at least eight mains to choose from. One of our group was veggie and she had three quite unusual mains to pick from. The stuffed chicken and sea bass dishes were brilliant but the real star was the sticky toffee pudding which was one of the very best I have tasted. Apparently the woman cooking got the recipe from an old lady in Banff but it beat any I have tried in Glasgow or Edinburgh by miles. Also saw their valentines menu which looked quite special but was not able to come back for that. They say they source as much ingredients locally and even had the names of some of the suppliers on the menu which I thought was good.

we don't want to recommend the Anarkali because we want to keep it to ourselves. Fantastic food, really friendly staff and BYOB - what more can you want? Been to many other Indian restaurants but none come near it for quality and value. Please don't redecorate - we like the 70s decor!

Visited on 17th of Feb 2010, superb meal in a spacious and well presented area. A little pricey, but not over the top and worth every penny.

I tried this cafe for breakfast. 1 regular breakfast, 1 large breakfast and 3 drinks came to £21. The food was locally sourced but I think the sausages were reheated and spoilt the meal along with the price tag, My wife said the hot chocolate was very good.

Great food-all very fresh and tasty. A small friendly restaurant with a good menu (including good amounts of seafood and vegetarian) and offers for lunch and pre-theatre. BYOB also available. Good location for King's theatre and Cameo cinema.

I could no disagree more with the review. When we arrived, the waitress, who we later found out to be the owner, shouted to the young bar man, " customers, the door". He obliged, and we were sat very awkwardly on one of the two cramped leather sofas immediately in front of the bar, where we were served a drink before dinner. After 20 mins, and once the owner had finished gossiping with two other customers, she acknowledged our presence, even though we were sat less than 1 metre away. She took our food order, and the bar boy showed us to our table. Apart from the fact that one of us had to sit on what I consider, uncomfortable pub bonkette seating, the table was fine. My pate starter, which was very flavoursome, was served with toasted pan bread with the crusts partly trimmed, why I dont consider acceptable in an establishment which boasts its menu, and a salad of shredded things which looked like it had fallen out of a bag. The cumberland sauce accompaniment was a sweet pink sauce, made from what im not sure. The other starter of pork belly, was very nice. Nicely cooked and flavoursome. My main of Braised Lamb Shank, hadn't been braised in the sweet red sauce which it sat in, possibly cooked in the oven, however the sauce had not a trace or a taste of any thing like the onions, garlic and other ingredients it should have. The bed of mash was dry, not creamy, and lumpy. The other main of Venison was beautifully cooked. It sat in the same red sauce which had been slightly tweeked and tasted marginally different. We selected a 2007 Australian Merlot which was very nice. We didn't have desert or coffee, however we did mention all of the above to the waitress who was eager to let chef know. We never heard back, and we saw chef leave just before 10 as there were only five tables of two at the evening siting. Apparently Mitchell's is a very kitchen orientated restaurant, and if chef or the owners consider it ok, then its fine. We were disappointed to say the least as we had been looking forward to the evening and I'm not surprised the staff were unhelpful, unhappy and did not smile, and the owner didn't seem to bother either. The wine (£18), two drinks and two courses each cost £74.50. We didn't think it value for money.

The food and service at Airth Castle is fantastic. I'm a strict vegetarian and recently stayed here - nothing was too much trouble for the chef and every dish was just to my taste. For those who eat meat I'm assured by my business colleagues the standard was just as high!

A totally relaxing dining atmosphere, great food, very helpful welcoming staff. I will be back with friends and family.

With a warm friendly welcome and a whole menu to die for, this truly is a great dining experience. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and can't wait to go back, so much so that I even offered my services to help staff. Roll on friday, now to decide what to have to eat.

Best chippy in my local area, brilliant fish and chips, home made italian ice cream, huge selection of traditional sweetie jars. Can sit in or take away.. still run by an italian family, like the best chips still ur.

this is a crap carryout prices dear and the meals are full of onions.

I have to say that i would NOT recommend this restaurant. The service is poor, management is unfriendly and very often rude. I continued going despite the above because I enjoyed ONE meal on menu selection. I went today and the menu had changed Nov 2009. That is all well and good, their prerogative BUT it did not reflect that anywhere on the menu. My Child's meal came out with the wrong side on the plate, and he is allergic! Sides we asked to hold off the adult platters were left on the plate, and part of our beverage selection was forgotten and we finally got brought out halfway thru the meal. My Dining Companion asked if the staff member serving us was new, and I had to sadly state, "No". A very nice girl, but not very service oriented. The store itself looks cheap with all the hand made paper signs with magic marker pricing. It negates from the decor that had been redone when it was switched over from the previous owners. Although a little dark, the environment does appear to be welcoming. Today, the meal item ordered had been replaced with something that would make a fast food chain meal look like a 4 star meal. When questioned about whether there had been a change in menu... management rudely came over and no apologies. (including for any other problems that we are used to having such as wrong sides with the meals, no napkins or other simple requests being filled.) They changed from real meat to a pre-formed portion of meat that I am not even sure was meat however, the price was the same as if I had real meat. I could have bought something that would have looked better from a bargain grocery store for a pound instead of being charged over 8gbp! When asked if I wanted my receipt, I said "Yes, I need the information to post a review!" (polite but snarky on my part I admit, but I was hoping that management would realize that you should treat every customer with respect, and a welcoming attitude because that alone can often make up for any dissatisfaction!) The manager asked me what I meant and I informed that I intended to post my experience online. I was then told that I would not be welcome back! Hmmm, an interesting way to help their business prosper! Rather than apologize for an inferior dining experience and discuss what could have happened to make our meal better... just tell the customer to not come back! I am not sure how much longer they will be around! Customer Service and Simple Attention to detail goes a LONG way. Inflexibility, Poor Communication, Rude Attitude and Low Quality Food leave a BAD TASTE in my mouth.

I was introduced to the Anerkali experience by my daughter for whom the Anerkali is her local restaurant. The service, the quality & quantity of the food is tremendous. The restaurant is a compact and homely environment where so many are regulars and like me having tasted the anerkali experience once are instantly smitten and return again and again. (Trulysmitten)
