Superb food! One of the best Indians I have visited in Scotland! We booked a table for 4 people at short notice and arrived to be seated immediately. Great menu with varied options. After poppadoms and chutneys I ordered the Mixed Meat and Prawn Sizzler with Jeera Pillao rice and a Keema Naan. The Sizzler had king Prawn, lamb and chicken tikka served on a hot sizzler plate with a wonderful aromatic spicy sauce. The rice was delicately spiced with cumin and the Naan bread was buttered and had the right amount of keema inside it. An excellent meal - I would thoroughly recommend it and will be coming again!

Very quick and polite service - good but meant we had eaten our food within 45 minutes (not a bad thing in this instance as we were heading to a festival show but other times would have liked to have taken more time). Food was delicious! I had a bindi dopiaza and it was lovely - also liked they asked how spicy you wanted each meal so you could Tailor to your palette. Enjoyable meal and will definitely go back again.

Excellent service, buzzy atmosphere even though it wasn't full. Since they serve both Indian and Nepalese food, there were some different things on the menu to try. Food was really good. I'd definitely go back on future visits to Edinburgh.
