“Was part of a large group, +30, we pre-ordered to assist the kitchen. Good menu options with several house specials. A wide variety of starters, mains, rice, nan breads etc. were served all hot with the sizzles sizzling. Feedback from the group was all positive and we certainly enjoyed our meals. Staff were attentive, but not overly so, and did a great job serving the food and meeting the drinks orders. Will definitely be back!”

“Really impressed with 1953 in Galashiels. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel right at home—super friendly and just the right amount of attentive. The food was absolutely spot on. You can tell it’s made fresh, and every dish had that “wow, this is good” moment. It’s not often you get great food and great service in the same place, but they’ve nailed it here. Left feeling full, happy, and already talking about when we’ll come back.”
