I have never had such a bad chicken curry in my life. Just put curry leaves in tomato sauce. I am also a chef. There needs to be an ethics for the work being done. Chef below average knowledge
We have dined here on many occasions and have always found the food delicious and the service excellent. The menu is somewhat different from other Indian restaurants with its emphasis on South Indian cooking. The dosa is something not to be missed as are the home made chutneys and pickles which accompany the starters. The main courses are superb, as are the breads, especially the paratha. Highly recommended little gem of a restaurant. I suspect that many of the negative reviews come from rival businesses!
Very small place. But you can bring your own booze. Food variety is limited. Our chicken 65 was appallingly scanty in quantity for the price. It looked like chicken feed. The parotta was good. The vadai unfortunately looked like it was heated from frozen.
Food was delicious. Wait was a little long, for just the two of us it was no big deal, but families should probably be aware it'll take a while to get your food. It's worth it though! Atmosphere could have been better (no music?)
Went with family with children aged 10 and 8. Very disappointed with staff and service and serving sizes for the money paid for each items. Requested parking option, were to park nearby as we were new to the place. Staff picked up told to find out ourself. There is no claim for juice volume in the menu and was served size was not even kids size. Asked lady staff if there is free refill available for juice. She just said OK to serve 2 further glasses and billed it without any clarification in the first instance. Serving sizes for meat were not even kids size, no value for money paid. Kids could not find more than 2 tiny pieces of meat in lamb dishes ordered and even asked where is meat in it in the whole gravy in the bowl. Take away sizes are attached for to review by customers. Never to return to this place again, Update again, wish I could give negative rating after trying my take away. Lamb dry fry was too salty to go down the throat. Also found that the business run by a bunch of liars calling customers including two kids as liars. Proof is added as the picture claim to be lamb dry fry from their website and what I got from them. Customers to decide who lies
Unfortunately we had a not so good experience at this restaurant due to the poor customer service. The restaurant didn’t honour our table reservation despite only being a few minutes after the allocated time. They decided to give our table away rather than ringing us to check. Thereafter, they kept us waiting for one full hour and kept and giving tables to others rather than us. The worst customer service I have experienced in any restaurant. I would give the rating 1 star but I’ll be generous and give it a two as the food nevertheless was good. The masala dosas were nice but didn’t really try the beetroot sauce. For starters, the papadoms with onion sauce was good. Potato Paratha was also good. Didn’t really like the Idli Sambar, but that’s just personal preference. The restaurant is a bit run down with very old decor and very dirty toilet. Difficult to find parking.

Went there several times. I like their food. But just be careful they have pork and beef on their menu. I am not Indian or Muslim so I didn’t really understand but just for your information. Good restaurant.
Authentic South Indian Restaurant. It was previously known as Mezbaan and we weren't aware of the name change. Food was lovely. Served hot and fresh. Friendly staffs and lovely atmosphere with pleasant music in the background. Would definitely visit again if visiting Edinburgh.
