First Indian meal in Orkney. Pleasant, welcoming, friendly, efficient staff. Nice, tasteful decoration. Tasty food. Certainly worth a visit.

A good Indian meal but nothing special in this small restaurant in the centre of Kirkwall. Good value and nice service.

Dil Se restaurant in Orkney has received mixed reviews from customers. While some appreciated the wide variety of vegetarian and vegan options, as well as the attentive staff and delicious food, others were disappointed by the bland flavors, intoxicated locals, and poor service. Some customers found the food to be tasteless and overpriced, while others praised the generous portions and reasonable prices. Overall, the restaurant seems to have polarizing opinions, with some enjoying the experience and others vowing never to return. For those with allergies or specific dietary requirements, it may be best to exercise caution when dining at Dil Se.

Really not a very good Indian. The chutneys and popadoms were not fresh and had a weird gross skin on them. The lamb was really tough. The dal was just water, t...
