Ever since opening in 1999, The Rupee Room in Ayr has delighted diners with its contemporary approach to Indian food. However, the owners know the value of tradition. With the kitchen's tandoori grill, dishes are cooked as authentically as they would be back in India.
The menu explores a wide range of spicings from the cuisine of north India. An excellent array of starters, including dosas and pooris, are sold here. These customary Indian street foods are a real delight and make for a great beginning to a meal. Traditional Punjabi curries are placed beside old favourites on this menu with dishes like bhoona, korma and dhansac making an appearance. Their haggis pakoras have become famous locally for this amazing fusion of a Scottish traditional dish and the popular Indian starter. A few other interesting fusion dishes are on offer like beer battered jalapeño and mozzarella balls. All plates are artfully presented and lift the humble curry to modern looking treats.
The Rupee Room has a large open dining area which is both formal and relaxed. Large windows emphasise the space of the dining room and give a lovely light to the room in the day. The staff here are exceedingly passionate about good food and quality service. Placed in the centre of Ayr, it is only meters from the coast. Even if the weather isn't hot, the curries will be sure to warm any diner up.
Both connoisseurs of spice and relative newcomers will love The Rupee Room's take on Indian dining. Combining the best of modern fusion dishes and traditional recipes, this eatery is one to savour.
