Came here in early 2021 and have fond memories. Returned in 2025 with high expectations. Left fully satiated after a butter chicken, keema naan and basmati combo (washed down with some BYOB Tenets). Pleased to see that the toilet door lock, which led to an unfortunate incident for me previously, has been fixed. The only place for a curry in Edi.

Lovely food, the atmosphere was good (a bit noisy but it was at the weekend) and the servers very attentive. One thing I'd like to highlight is the fact they don't automatically charge you a tip (as we have unfortunately noticed in other places) but instead it is stated discreetly in the card reader machine.

Very tasty vegetarian foods and very friendly to kids Norma Mathieson2025-07-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is my favourite restaurant in Edinburgh. The food is excellent, the portions are generous and the service is great. Added to this it is very good value for money with BYOB added to this brilliant mix! Very convenient for the Playhouse Theatre, a pre or post show meal is recommended.
