Mr Tan Chinese

Mr Tan occupies a central pitch on Nairn's Victorian High Street, a short stroll from the Moray Firth beach and harbour. The menu spans Chinese, Malaysian and Thai, giving more range than most Highland takeaways of comparable size. Reviewers single out the hot-and-sour soup — packed with chicken and widely called the best in the area — alongside spare ribs, prawn toast, salt-and-spicy chicken and Singapore fried rice. Sweet-and-sour chicken also draws praise from regulars who regard it as among the best they've tried anywhere in the country. Portion sizes are consistently generous. The town's position as a seaside resort means the kitchen feeds both locals and a steady stream of visitors exploring Cawdor Castle and the Nairnshire coastline.
