My partner and I always go a drive always on a Saturday to see what restaurants we can find . Travelling from Glasgow . We found Apricot on our drive last night . The food was amazing . Fresh Clean food . The quality was next to nothing . Ingredients were just perfect . Presentation of food was just amazing . Everything was made with care and thought. From the spiced onions to our main meals where out of this word. Everything was made from scratch. Fresh ingredients. Beautifully cooked and presented. Overall the staff were so very polite and friendly , presentation was pristine and clean. Very prompt and helpful . Restaurant was absolutely clean and decoration of restaurant was amazing . It must be the cleanest restaurant I have been to date . Staff were very attentive. Well turned out . Well groomed . The food was to die for . I will find it hard to match any other restaurant that we have been to. We will be definitely returning again to enjoy the amazing food and amazing atmosphere.

Had Xmas lunch at Apricot today. Meal was excellent, from champagne on arrival to dessert. Service was incredible and quick. Lovely atmosphere at our table near window. Was a little apprehensive because I normally cook dinner but shouldn't have been. Staff were lovely. Will definitely be back soon.

My sister's long-time favourite restaurant in Dunfermline, so I visited with my mum. Service was very warm and friendly. On recommendation from the waiter, we ordered the lamb shank which was tender and flavourful, in masala sauce and accompanied by rice. The prawn starter Piro Jhinge Macha was absolutely delicious. I will most definitely be back.

We were first time in this restaurant. Food was delicious and spicy. Gurkha beer is very good. I hope we will come back.

Had the most beautiful dinner at this restaurant. They serve the best Indian - Nepali cuisines in all of Scotland I believe. Found this gem in the heart of Dunfermline accidentally. The food was amazing and the service personnel especially the guy named ' Ali' was super cool in giving us the most pleasant dining experience. We tried the Lamb biriyani and another Lamb dish ( leg of baby lamb with basmati rice ) which was exceptional. He ( Ali) understood our taste buds and hence suggested the medium spicy versions of the dishes. We'll definitely go there again several times for their food and ten outta ten service experience. Love it

Been ordering delivery from here for a few years now and I'm never let down! Delivery is always on time/early, and the food is absolutely to die for! My partner is always wanting food from here, so we have an apricot most takeaway nights! Picked up food in the restaurant one time and the staff were very nice my dad recommended this place to us as he loves to come here for work dinners, and I can definitely say they are the best Indian & Nepalese restaurant in Fife! Highly recommend their seafood dishes, I've tried every fish curry and they're delicious! The fish pakora is just fantastic, and they do a really nice paneer masala! Will definitely try going into the restaurant for a meal at some point

What a great menu of food, the staff are very warming and great with the Indian and Nepalese knowledge of cuisine. We had Chicken Pakora and Onion Baji to start then a Lamb Chasni and Chicken Tikka Khardhi. Dishes were well presented and tasted amazing
