Indian Ocean

Indian Ocean on Academy Street has built a reputation as one of Inverness's most consistent Indian restaurants over many years. The kitchen is Bangladeshi-run, and that heritage shapes a menu that goes beyond the standard British-Indian repertoire: Scottish haddock cooked in Bangladeshi-style curry with onions, capsicums, and fresh chillies sits alongside Scottish salmon with cheese, coriander, and spinach — a confident local sourcing decision. The classic tandoori and balti sections are extensive, and the chicken tikka biryani, garnished and served with vegetable curry, draws repeat custom. TripAdvisor reviewers have placed it among the top Indian restaurants in Scotland, with consistent praise for the warmth of the staff and the depth of the spicing. Dine-in and takeaway available.
