   “The food wasn’t prepared well at this restaurant, so I don’t feel comfortable giving a high rating.” I ordered two dishes, and neither of them had any sauce. Instead of sauce, it seemed like water had been added to the food. The other dish was extremely spicy, and this one was exactly the same. There was no proper sauce, and again it felt like water had been used instead I will not be ordering again, and unfortunately my money was wasted 8/12/2025

   Travelled from New York to visit our daughter. We have been h ere before and could not wait to go back. Great decision! Had an incredible meal with polite and professional service. This is our #1 for India n cuisine not just in Haymarket, but in all of Edinburgh.

   Came here for a bite to eat with my family after having it recommended to me. The food was delicious and the service was great. All the staff were friendly and attentive. The decor was nice too. I would recommend this place for a family meal or birthday, not overly expensive and definitely worth it.

   The service was impeccable even though it was a busy Saturday evening and we hadnt booked. Every detail thought of. Staff were friendly and approachable. So efficient. What a treat. The food was excellent. I had lamb korma and the meat was so tender. The pashwari nan was like none I'd tasted before. So delicious. My friend and I decided that no matter where we end up in the city we will make the effort to return. The decor was aesthetically pleasing. ✨️ whoever owns this business I hope you know you have an excellent team and appreciate them. Absolutely awesome!

   Malai kebab was different than what you usually get it was too cheesy but not bad. Meat thali was good especially the lamb gravies in it. Gulab jamun was with cream not ice-cream which was also different but not bad. Staff was very good. Will like to visit again.

   I had the 3 course meal here. Best samosas I've had in my life. Best aloo tikki I've had in my life. Masala pappad was spicy and mouth watering. Chappati was big and soft. Even the ambiance was great. The slowly blinking lights that resemble stars, the rock fountain, small roses in glasses. Awesome service by Nani. This place should be 5/5! P.S If you like mallu food, order the Banana Fritters. Its pazham pori.
