Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Our family if 8 ordered a take away using their online ordering. It was straight forward and the food was ready in time and all in order. The food was without exception delicious! Every dish was tasty! Although the pakora was not what we were...used to from Glasgow based Indian restaurants it was still good and enjoyed. Don’t miss out eating here.More

I’m not sure what food was being served but it was not Indian. The Chicken Tikka Masala sauce was bright red and the only taste was coconut milk. I would question whether it was even freshly made. It was awful. The naan was doughy and...tasteless. We barely touched our food and got the bill and left. On the plus side, the young man who took our order was lovely and we did enjoy the after dinner mints that came with the bill ( best part of the meal).More

Great food and service at aside Spice yesterday. We were a party of 4 adults and one baby. When we arrived a high chair was already at the table end though we hadn’t asked for it. Our order was taken by a lovely young man....The chicken tikka masala was awesome. I would recommend anyone staying in or travelling through Brora to give Sid Spice a visit. It also has plenty of parking outside.More

Enjoyed a lovely, tasty, Indian meal here last night, good service from the young lad too. Lovely, clean surroundings. Extensive menu but went for the old favourites, Jalfrezi and pasanda, Palau rice and a Nan bread. Likely try the carry out when next here with...he caravan.More

Staying locally found details of Sid's Spice at our accommodation. On line ordering was easy and then the food is absolutely amazing. Well worth a visit or takeaway.

We have eaten in countless Indian restaurants over 50 years, and this restaurant in remote north eastern highlands is definitely one of the very best EVER. It was great last year, but has somehow improved. Very clean, modern-looking premises, attractive menu, good prices, succinct wine...options, excellent service. What a joy, in a small village that is very lucky to have it. Well done everyone. We will definitely returning when we visit the area in the future 9 we love it around here)More

Their curry's are far from authentic and priced ridiculously. You can get a curry twice this size, 10 times as good and likely buy 2 of them most places for the price you pay for 1 here. Didn't even inform us they add a service...charge themselves. We booked a table for 2 so it's not like it was a big booking, I'm happy to tip but how arrogant is it that they do it instead of letting you decide? This place used to be well renound and they boast on their flyers about being the second best rated Indian restaurant in Scotland. Well, I'm guessing whoever rated that has a fairly bland palate or the place used to be good and since they got lazy and let that rating carry them. Because the food was sub par but the prices suggested they actually thought it was worth it which I find even more astonishing. The spice and flavours seem to suggest they think that if you throw a mix of spice together on top of a generic base it might just work...it doesn't. When you have a curry made with care and passion you should have a progression of flavours and spice that compliment and enhance each other. The food we had just seemed like the curry was made with a 'meh that'll do' attitude. My recommendation, if you want a good curry, get the train to wick or go South, get 10 times better food and hey, the money you save compared to their over priced dinner may even be enough to cover your train fair!More

Who in their right mind said this is the 2nd best Indian restaurant in Scotland? Did they go when they didn't have any taste buds or was it their first time trying Indian food. The food is definitely not authentic. Been to many Indian restaurants...and this does not even make it in the top 50. It's something you would eat after a long night drinking and would still not be desirable.More

I heard a lot about Sid's and the reality lived up to the hype. Service, food, atmosphere was 1st class. Easily one of the best curries I have ever had. Flavoursome and spicy without blowing your head off. Proper tasty. Loved it and will return...(probably tomorrow haha).More
