Our waiter Krish made our experience so good with quick service, attentiveness and being so welcoming. The butter chicken, roti breads and onion bhaji were especially delicious and the price was more than reasonable. The best Indian we’ve had in Edinburgh, more people should definitely go. Thankyou Krish!
Hands down the worst food I’ve had in the UK. This was my first restaurant experience in Edinburgh, and it genuinely couldn’t have gone worse. The staff were unbelievably lazy and clearly had no idea how to interact with customers. There wasn’t even basic cutlery on the table we had to ask for it. When the food finally arrived, it was served with zero care or professionalism, as if the only goal was to pass time until the shift ends. The food itself was a complete joke. It tasted like cheap, packaged supermarket food reheated and thrown onto a plate. The chapatis turned into hard, rough discs within two minutes of being served—no one orders chapati to get an unwanted papad experience. We were told the delay was due to “many orders,” which was laughable considering the place was practically empty apart from us. This message is for the owner: your restaurant desperately needs improvement starting with staff attitude, kitchen standards, food quality, and basic customer service. And please, for the love of common sense, fix the directions to your ridiculous entrance. It took us 15 minutes just to figure out how to get inside. An absolute waste of time, money, and appetite.
This is my first day in Edinburgh and I found this Indian restaurant nearby. The staff (Chef Varun and boy Krishh) here was polite and so helpful. The cozy environment here increases more appetite and the food here can not be described that tasty, must visit place.
Krish was a great server, and the food was amazing! Came in for a meal at around 9:45 PM on a Tuesday night and was not disappointed. The butter chicken, chicken korma, and garlic naan were all exceptional. The rice was good, as well.
It's a really good Indian restaurant. The food quality and quantity is just accurate, good for two people. As for me I don't expect much in UK from any Indian restaurant but this was really tasty. Thank you to the chef there. The chai was best just as we want in cold weather after traveling for whole day. Really nice must try restaurant. In terms of ambience there is room for lot more things.
One of the best Indian food you will find in Edinburgh. And it's priced reasonably well Right next to royal mile, the location is amazing. Good portion size for main course Daal Tarka and saag paneer is amazing. One of the best cooked Roti bread, really good. The lassi drinks are good as well, very good sizes.
Perfect place to end a long day of walking and sightseeing; prompt friendly service, great food made to perfection, served hot without a long wait. Not too spicy but with an amount of heat you'd expect with a great curry. Indoor and outdoor seating.
The food was absolutely fantastic. Best Indian food which matches the taste of India perfectly! And on the service take, the dining experience was beautiful all thanks to the front service staff and the manager took all specifications accurately and delivered it to the utmost level of customer satisfaction. Highly recommended!
