visited with some friends during the festive period. The Restaurant was very busy and staff was very attentive. Food was top notch and will be recommending to friends & family.

Excellent menu and first-rate service. Tasteful decor and Asian music added to the experience. Lager available on draught and and a selection of wines available in miniature bottles. Enjoyed a lamb dish I’ve not tried before - Goan Lamb. A somewhat innocuous title for what proved to be a gastronomic delight for me. You’re guaranteed friendly service and delicious food at the Panache in Elgin.

I cannot comment on the restaurant experience as I have always had takeaways from here. However, the quality of food has always been excellent, there has only ever been one episode where the food did not meet the grade, however, I am prepared to look over this as it was Christmas time and there have been no issues since. Food I tend to go with a mixed starter followed with a garlic and ginger chicken, chips, Nam bread and papadums (that are never soft). My wife will have the chicken Tika Masala. Chicken is tender, very tasty and a plentiful amount Flavourful, aromatic with a rich thick source. Portion sizes are generous and always struggle to eat Nam Bread are a good size with a decent filling The only negative I can draw upon is the cost – it’s over 60 for a starter, main and poppadom’s for 2, however that seams to be the cost of Indian food nowadays. However, this takeaway is a solid recommend

Wonderful & full flavoured delight! There is Indian cuisine & there is authentic Indian cuisine & boy is this the later! I actually came to visit the Turkish next which was closed & stumbled across Panache. I was post workout, in shorts on my work travels but not judged & given a nice seat, I wish I got the servers name as she was fantastic! I watched as she also waited on other table & she was at the top end of attentive! I ordered the Panjab Chicken Tikka, Pilau Rice, Garlic Chapati & Fanta 23.85, on the whole good value although 4.20 for the Pilau Rice I thought was over priced. The flavour was like an explosion in my mouth, truly the most wonderful delight! I would highly recommend & will more than likely revisit during this trip!

Decided to visit Panache on New Year’s Eve for a nice dinner with my family. Very busy but understandable given the occasion. Despite how busy it was, staff were very attentive to our table and atmosphere was so welcoming. Definitely recommend the Chicken Tikka main. 10/10, will visit again.

Amazing food and great staff it’s just a shame we live 3 and half hours away as we would be in here all the time! Can’t recommend this place enough!

We drive for 3/4 hour just to go for a curry here as the one in our home town is awful. The chicken shashlik is delicious and I can't see past it because you get a load of veggies with it too. Staff are lovely. Book in advance at weekends.
