Nepalese and Indian restaurant wins honour for dedication to environment
Mount View’s perfect blend of authentic cuisine and sustainability a hit with award judges and public alike
Falkirk’s Mount View Indian Restaurant has been awarded the “Highly Commended” honour at the Scottish Sustainable Curry Awards 2025, a testament to its commitment to authentic cuisine and exceptional customer service.
Offering a rich blend of Nepalese and Indian dishes, Mount View has become a culinary destination for both locals and tourists. Signature favourites like momo (dumplings), chicken hot pot, lababdar, butter chicken and vegan dishes are served with pride – but it’s the newly introduced goat curry on the bone that’s quickly becoming a standout dish on the updated menu.
Nestled conveniently in Lauriston, near top attractions such as The Kelpies and the Falkirk Wheel, and just a 20-minute walk from Falkirk town centre, Mount View is perfectly placed for visitors exploring the area. With free parking, a 100+ seating capacity and a separate function hall, it is also an ideal venue for family gatherings, private events and group celebrations.
“We’re honoured to receive this recognition for our sustainable practices and authentic food,” said Madhav Bhandari, manager of Mount View.
“This award motivates our whole team to keep delivering memorable dining experiences while also caring for our environment.”
He paid tribute to the hard work of the restaurant’s team which has seen them convert to environmentally friendly delivery bags and packaging, and put the emphasis on local products and suppliers – all of which helped the restaurant clinch the highly commended title at the awards last month.
Madhav said: “We are not 100 per cent there yet with sustainability but we are very much focussing on this.”
He also paid tribute to the support the restaurant has received from the local community since it opened last year in Mary Street, Lauriston, who have proved enthusiastic fans of the menu’s Nepalese and north Indian slant.
Combining bold flavours, warm hospitality and a strong commitment to sustainability, Mount View is truly one of the most unique and high recommended restaurants in Central Scotland.
