Indian fine dining Restaurant

The Prince of India provides Bangladeshi and Indian Cuisine.

A very popular Indian Restaurant. The menu specifically focuses on the popular style of UK curries, known as Bangladeshi style British curries.

The Bangladeshi style British curries are popular throughout Britain. The Bangladeshi community have played an important role in UK curries. (See the second section of this page for the Bangladeshi UK curry history).

The restaurant is located just off 30 metres off Pitlochry Main Street on Station Road. Opposite McKays Hotel and Bar, right in the middle of this beautiful Victorian Highland Town.

You will find all the popular Indian continent dishes. Including authentic Balti dishes, Chef’s recommendation, and European dishes (for non-curry eaters in the party). The chef was trained in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Great value 2-course lunch £10.95 and children under 12 eat for £6.95, 12noon to 4pm (2pm winter). Main evening meals are served from 5pm to 10.30pm each night.

10% discount is offered on all Take Away meals. Phone in or drop in, order, and wait for the meal to be prepared. Unfortunately, there is no home delivery service, as there is insufficient demand.

The Prince of India Pitlochry is open all year, 7 days a week. 12 noon to 4pm (2pm winter) 5pm to 10.30pm for the evening for the main menu.

What Our Guests Say

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"Best Indian food I've had in Scotland!"
Absolutely loved everything from the starters to dessert. The Chicken Tikka Masala was rich and creamy, and the naan was perfectly soft. Staff were super friendly and made us feel right at home. Can’t wait to come back!

"A gem of a restaurant!"
We stumbled upon this place while visiting [City Name] and were blown away by the flavours. Great vegetarian options too — the Paneer Butter Masala was heavenly. Easily one of the best dining experiences we’ve had!

"Authentic flavours and amazing service"
The food tastes just like it does in India — full of bold spices and cooked to perfection. The Tandoori Mix Grill was a highlight. Service was prompt, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Highly recommend!

History of Curry in the UK and the important part played by Bangladeshi's.

Although curry is an Indian dish modified for British tastes, it’s so popular that it contributes more than £5bn to the British economy.

1733

Curry was served in the Norris Street Coffee House in Haymarket.

1747

The first British cookery book containing an Indian recipe was ‘The Art of Cookery Made Plain & Easy’ by Hannah Glasse.

1810

The first purely Indian restaurant was the Hindoostanee Coffee House which opened in 1810 near Portman Square, Mayfair. The owner of the restaurant, Sake Dean Mahomed was born in 1759 in present-day Patna, then part of the Bengal, India.

1940s and 1950s

most major Indian restaurants in London employed ex-seamen from Bangladesh, particularly from Syhlet (in the northeast corner of Bangledesh today). Many of these seamen aspired to open a restaurant of their own. After the Second World War, they bought bombed-out chippies and cafes selling curry and rice alongside fish, pies, and chips, which stayed open after 11 pm to catch the after-pub trade.

1960s

Eating hot curry after a night out in the pub became a tradition. As customers became increasingly fond of curry, these restaurants discarded British dishes and turned into inexpensive Indian takeaways and eateries.

After 1971

There was an influx of Bangladeshi immigrants into Britain. Many entered the catering business. According to Peter Groves, co-founder of National Curry Week, “65%-75% of Indian restaurants” in the UK are owned by Bangladeshi immigrants.
