"What a delight!! The place was jam packed and on a January night it's great to see!!
Service was engaging and always a member of the team around.
The menu is varying and has something for everyone.... make sure the chilli numbers are noted on the menu as the food can certainly pack a punch. Still, the flavours are able to come through.
Whatever the green spiced sauce is on the starters needs to be immediately bottled and sold, it's certainly a condiment that I can see going with any savoury dish, so annoyed I forgot to ask!!!
Great food, simply cooked with no fuss and an immaculately clean restaurant."

"This restaurant had very good Google reviews and we were nearby so it was time to check this one out.
We came in pretty early so we there was sitting place enough and not many people were present. After a quick look in the menu we ordered. The staff was friendly and answered all our questions. Including some explanation what was a hot dish and not.
The ambiance is very modern with a touch of Indian and Nepal influences.
The food was very good and more than enough. It was very enjoyable to sit and eat here so the reviews were not overdone."

"I’m from India and came to Aberdeen for office work. After trying several restaurants around the city, I can say that 8848 Restaurant is the best so far! Their Veg Thali and other dishes are absolutely delicious — full of authentic flavors and great variety.
I also tried Travancore, but honestly, all the dishes there tasted very similar, which was a bit disappointing.
If you're in Aberdeen and craving Indian food, I highly recommend 8848 for a satisfying and tasty experience!"
