Indian restaurant in Edinburgh

“Had a doner kebab delivered tonight 09/10/25 got to say it was very good, food nice and hot also would definitely recommend.”

“Absolutely love this place! The staff are super friendly, the food is amazing, and insane value for money, and they have a comprehensive menu with lots to choose from! We've ordered from here maybe 10 times, and its always been excellent. Thank you! :)”

“We were staying in the Holiday Inn Express Airport Quarantine hotel & needed some comfort food. We ordered 2x momo’s and a chicken biryani between two. Huge portions & very tasty. Big difference compared to the bland food on offer in the quarantine hotel. Thanks, you made our day!”

“Incredible locally owned business! I got the large mixed kebab, my partner got the beef korma, my mum got the prawn chasni and my stepdad got the lamb ceylon. Incredible! The food is always out of this world, the service is always friendly and attentative and its so reasonable for how much you get. A MUST visit for sure.”

“We had a takeaway last Sunday and we really enjoyed it. The Prawn Mayan was delicious and plenty succulent prawns too. Some other restaurants are very stingy on the prawns. Hubby and kids loved it too and will definitely be ordering from here again in the future.”

“Went in for lunch, three took from main menu and 1 from lunch. Food was amazing, all freshly cooked! Service from our attentive waitress was first class! Drinks were reasonably priced! Best Soda & Lime! Guys enjoyed a game of pool and darts! We will definitely be back! Thanks for a great dining experience!”

“Amazing food would highly recommend. The variety and quality of food is exceptional. The staff were very helpful also. Our party had loaded fries and burgers. Cannot fault anything about this place.”

“Very tasty food and fresh meat in a quiet location just outside the center of Edinburgh. Prices are very reasonable, and the portions are large and satisfying. Everything was also very neat and well presented. Well done !”

“5 Stars – Outstanding Experience at Shish Mahal, Musselburgh ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ We had an exceptional experience at Shish Mahal. Despite a last-minute cancellation from another restaurant, Hanan and Inam went above and beyond to accommodate our group of 18 people with warmth, professionalism, and genuine hospitality. Their service was nothing short of outstanding—attentive, courteous, and truly welcoming from start to finish. The food was phenomenal. We ordered the Tawa for 4, and every element was bursting with flavor. The lamb chops were perfectly cooked, and the pakoras were crisp, fresh, and delicious. Portion sizes were generous, and the quality was evident in every bite. The mocktails were equally impressive—refreshing, vibrant, and beautifully presented. I tried four different ones, and each one was fantastic. A special thank you to Chef Shayru for delivering such exceptional dishes. This was honestly one of the best dining experiences we’ve had, and we can’t wait to return. I’ll be recommending Shish Mahal to all my friends and family. This place truly deserves to expand into Edinburgh—their standard of food and service is outstanding.”

“We ordered x250 samosas for an office event this Diwali. Those were mouth-watering and delicious. And the size of each one was really something meant for the value of the money paid. Got the best rate and the order was ready just before the event. An obvious recommendation for Indian food in Edinburgh!”

“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.”

“If you want to try tasty Indian dhaba style you should visit this place. Staff are nice and friendly.”

“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.”

“Absolutely brilliant Kurdish food. Must trys include the lamb kebab, the chicken kebab and the slow cooked lamb in gravy. The service person was all smiles and efficient. Highly recommend the place for a flavour packed meal.”

“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.”

“Me and my friends specifically visited this place to have a buffet lunch. A pure authentic Indian meal that we were missing in UK. A must visit place as it has very good ambiance and hospitality. Enjoyed the food and the service as well. Thank you”

“This place is lovely felt very welcome and the food is not overpriced! the food is fresh and very tasty.”

“Ordered a lot of items from their menu since I missed street food from home. Loved everything.”

“Great food! The tandoori chicken is really good, but the other food is too as I often steal my wife's! Portion sizes are just right or more than enough. Tonight I had the lamb kebabs.. I could have eaten about 20 more of those no problem :)”

“Curry was awesome, fast service and will be using again.”

“They say it's halal, but personally, I'd eat on the safe side: rice, pasta, salad.”

“Excellent Indian food. We order at least once a week from them. Very friendly staff. Prompt delivery. I haven't actually found any restaurant in town who can beat them in terms of quality, which is probably the reason we don't eat in Indian restaurants. Try the Murgh Chat, and the Chicken Nantara.”

“Tried Spice World about a month ago and was absolutely delighted with the food quality. Doesn’t matter what day the delivery is and is always on time. Highly recommended”

“Had a meal in this restaurant tonight. Food choice was very good, service was excellent. Food arrived hot and fresh, and tasted lovely. BYO was a great idea too. Meal was not overpriced. Would most definitely go back and I would highly recommend. Give it a try.”
