The website is fully functional and accepted our order and took our money but nothing came, the phone line is unrecognised and the place was closed when I went to check it out in person.
There're so many indian restaurants in Edinburgh. Word of advice, go somewhere else! Here you're paying high end restaurant price for a bistro quality! The food was ok, Butter naan was very good, chicken Saag was fine. But my chicken tikka Marsala was way too sweet. The waitress offered to change it though, but I decleined, thought it was gonna be ok... It wasn't! The more I ate, the sweeter it got. At the end I only had the chicken and had to leave the sauce (which should be the best part of the dish!) The restaurant could be more clean! The prices were just unacceptable! At the Front door was the price list from a few months ago, very reasonable. Once we sat down the waiter (or Chef?) told us to check the prices at the counter as it's been increased. We didnt bother to leave, thought it would be just a bit, but it was not! We told the waitress at the end that the prices outside were misleading and should be taking down. The answer was "it wasn't her decision to make, it's the owner's decision" and "All customers were told that the prices were changed and accepted it, so it shouldn't be a problem!" The prices were increased a few months ago and they don't bother to do anything about it. In Germany, this would be illegal! (even when you told your customer about the price changes before they order!) The waitress kindda took my comments personal saying she can't do anything about it, instead of telling us she would inform the owner how the customers feel (we know it wasn't her fault and she tried hard to make the situation better... she failed though!) Why is it so difficult to take the old price down? (at least put a sign on the old list or whatever). I'm sure we're not the first one complaining. We can't help but feel deceived. By the way! The price of the high end indian restaurant on the opposite side of the Street (Mera L*****) is even cheaper than this curry cafe, just a little information for your decision next time you come to the area and wanna have indian food!
Nice cafe to have affordable and authentic Indian Food.
Wow, never had the curry and the rice served In the same dish, was a bit like a big mush. I like to keep my rice separate and add the curry to it. The nan was nice but the popodome was like folded into quarters.sorry not what I was expecting. Oh well tried once and never again. Web site nice, reality a bit different.
Have you walked by here and thought, "Oh, there's another cheap and cheerful curry house!"? Well, you were wrong - but that's alright; because there's still time to see the error of your ways. Curry Cafe serves up delicious Indian fare to a culinary standard one would expect from a Michelin star restaurant. The service was impeccable. The location: unbeatable. I've never been so pleasantly surprised and impressed. I highly recommend a visit. The Bombay Aloo and Onion Bhaji were my particular favourites. We'll be back for sure.
AMAZING CURRY FOR THE PRICE This place strikes me more as a takeaway place however it's very nice to sit in as well. Came for dinner at around 8pm on a Saturday and there were plenty of tables available. I got the meal deal for 1, which includes 4 pakoras, some poppadoms, and a curry of your choice with either rice or naan. I chose the Chicken Rogan Josh and it was pretty good. The service was extremely fast and the food was brought out within minutes. The server was also friendly and asked how the meal was. Would come back here if I wanted a curry that's fast, affordable and good quality!
