Indian restaurant in Edinburgh

“What a great menu of food, the staff are very warming and great with the Indian and Nepalese knowledge of cuisine. We had Chicken Pakora and Onion Baji to start then a Lamb Chasni and Chicken Tikka Khardhi. Dishes were well presented and tasted amazing”

“The restaurant is bigger than it looks from outside ! It has an incredibly varied menu including the usual Indian favourites but also a vast choice of speciality Nepalese dishes and even British choices for the less adventurous. Attentive and fast service. There were a few steps down to the tables area within the restaurant, but I saw a gentleman with a walking frame negotiate them.”

“We booked a table for 7 for a family get together for my wife's birthday. We have eclectic tastes and the all you can eat buffet catered for them all. Food was beautifully cooked and service impeccable. Highly recommend the Lamb Bhuna and Indian Chilli Chicken . Will be back.”

“I was there on 30th October 2025. Staff were helpful and friendly. When food arrived it was hot and very tasty, we all loved it. Fairly busy for 6pm on a Thursday. Calm and relaxing atmosphere. Will be back soon !”

“Eventually got around to a Peppercorn carry out last night. Loved it. Mixed Pandora was lovely and the Lamb Rogan Josh/sauce was tasty as, rice also, good portion of meat which is definitely not the case these days in many takeaways. Although I do think Indian takeaway breads in general can be thinner/tastier no complaints about it.”

“As always an absolutely delicious lunch at Ashiqs’s today. We had poppodoms & the chutney tray, vegetable pakora, Seekh kebab, Lamb Madras, Chicken tikka passanda with pilau rice and a garlic Naan.”

“My brother and I were walking back from the football and decided to pop in for a takeaway. I wasn't particularly hungry and I'm usually disappointed with takeaways so I only had some of my brother's vegetarian Paneer dish and I wish ordered my own. If you're unsure on what you're wanting and you're not wanting too much spice, you should try the paneer, spinach dish, the tastes were so authentic and flavoursome. I know what I'm getting next time.”

“Food has been amazing! Chicken melts in your mouth! Curry is delicious! My new favourite place!”

“We order frequently here and always have a good experience - food is delivered hot every time and the vegan options are great. If you are collecting, trust Google Maps directions - it will take you through the industrial estate and straight to the door of Bell Bottom.”

“Me and my partner was looking for a place to eat for our Anniversary, everywhere was shut. Queens Spice welcomed us in even though they were about to shut. Absolutely amazing food! Lovely service! Thank you!”

“We found this place by complete accident. We are thrilled that we went here from the first moment we were well taken care of. Everything was explained to us how it works the beer was great tasting and well chilled food -stunning selection there is no chance to taste it all in one go there is so much to try... Everything I tasted...was delicious. Thank you we will definitely be back.”

“Yasir was an excellent waiter. The service was top class. And the food took me back to the streets of lahore. It was amayyyzing. Dynamite chicken was good. Biryaani felt homemade. And we ordered garlic chilli chicken with cheese naan. Very nice. highly recommended.”

“Absolutely top-tier, food was amazing, service was attentive, would come again a hundred times. Servings were very generous, I didn’t think I’d be able to finish but I couldn’t stop it tasted so good.”

“Went here one Sunday afternoon with no reservation. Got a table. Service was good and friendly staff. Food was lovely. A good price too. Will be back.”

“I had delicious sag aloo, vegetable fried rice and garlic naan. The staff was very courteous. I will be going there again!”

“Food was freshly cooked and nicely presented exceptional flavour and mouth watering tastes. Service could not be faulted. Pleasant atmosphere Recommend a visit you will not be disappointed.”

“The food was super delicious, Korma Chicken and the Mango Lassi is recommended. Staff very hard-working and friendly. At first we were a bit skeptical, since the restaurant was completely empty at 6 p.m....but absolutely unfounded. Also have a lot to do with deliveries.”

“Ordered a takeaway from Slumdog for our anniversary celebration and the food was delicious. Chicken was lovely, sauces were excellent with loads of flavours. Order was delivered earlier than expected. Delivery driver was very friendly. Will definitely order from here again and will also try the restaurant soon.”

“My sister and I had the most memorable night here and the service was 100% amazing. The food was the best we have had . Thanks so much. Totally recommend.”

“Today, we had our dinner from Navayas. It was excellent, and the food was freshly prepared and of very high quality. The naan bread was delicious, and the curries were great too. The service was friendly, and the shop looked very hygienic. While you are waiting, you can see them prepare your meal. I highly recommend eating here.”

“Great service. Fantastic authentic food. I recommend the mixed grill for 2 with fresh naan. Also tried the lamb biryanis which was excellent. Toilets clean service within 15 mins on a busy Friday night.”

“No one feels good when you are hungry. I am also like that. I don’t feel at ease when I’m hungry. Every time I visit this place, I feel welcomed and I feel at ease entering the area. Their accommodation is the best. Their food is the best contributory in easing my uneasiness. They cook well and the spices used are all authentic!”

“Absolutely delicious. Wonderful meal with my sister Kerry. Onion Bhagi was fantastic, Nan was delicious and the Punjabi chicken had amazing flavor. Highly recommend. Our waiter was absolutely delightful.”

“"5/5 stars! I absolutely love the food here. My all-time favorite is definitely the masala fries—they are incredibly yummy, perfectly seasoned, and always hit the spot. If you visit, you have to try them!"”

“Delicious chips and sauce, served with a smile. Friendly staff and good atmosphere. Highly recommend!”

“Delightful place; and for us, only steps away from our B&B. Came highly recommended by our B&B hosts at 23 Mayfield. Attentive service, kind staff, lovely presentation as shown in our photos, and mouth watering flavors. We would definitely go back if in the area again!”

“Wow what a beautiful restaurant and totally different from most Indian restaurants I've been to... Love it. The waiters are very professional and friendly and the food was amazing. Really tasty, nice spice and the very nice tikka chicken. A little more expensive than other places but well worth it. Needless to say I'll definitely return next time I'm working in the area!”

“Excellent quality food and generous portions. All enjoyed in a very relaxing atmosphere on very comfortable armchairs and sofas.”
