The Pink Turban

Had another buffet lunch here today and it was so good as usual. It became extremely busy as we were eating and not surprised cos all the food is so fresh and amazing. The choice of desserts and ice cream excellent.

We went on a Tuesday at lunchtime for the buffet lunch. It costs a mere £7.95 per person. It is well worth the money for unlimited food. The food was piping hot and freshly prepared. There was lots of it. Alcohol was not being served at that time but the sign outside said you can bring your own bottle. The staff were very attentive at bringing drinks and clearing plates. Nothing was too much trouble. They didn't smile and the atmosphere felt very flat or formal somehow. There are no table covers but the napkins are cloth. The main downside for me (and why I did not give 5 stars) is that there was only 1 vegan/vegetarian main dish of a vegetable curry on offer. This was very disappointing for an Indian restaurant. The only bread was naan (non vegan) : no roti or chapati. I heard a family lament there were no chips available. Due to the poor choice for vegans and vegetarians, I wouldn't rush back, especially as it was quite a drive to get there. If you eat meat and dairy and don't mind driving to a small town near Wishaw, then it's worth the money. The car park is tiny but there is some street parking on the busy road outside. The restaurant itself was very clean and well managed but lacks atmosphere. There's no real theme which is a shame, given the interesting name of the place. Perhaps the evening a la carte menu gives more vegan options. Definitely worth a try for great value for money.

First ever visit to the Pink Turban and certainly won’t be my last, from the warm welcome at the door from the friendly start with a fantastic can for attitude towards service and customer care. Nothing was too much trouble even the offer of off menu items if we didn’t see anything we liked. Food was fantastic fresh and piping hot with a fantastic selection on the buffet. Thank you so much for your hospitality and the fantastic meal
