Excellent food, with a selection of Indian and Nepalese options, Particularly well catered for the vegans in our group, with the (plentiful) options well explained, and very nice indeed. Great service and top notch experience all round.

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.

Went here not knowing what to expect after reading both very positive and very negative reviews. We were pleased we went. Service was friendly, attentive and good. The Rogan Josh and Chicken Madress were excellent. We will probably go to this restaura again next time we visit Edinburgh.

Fantastic food. All the food served was of very high quality. The only reason I never gave it full marks is because the service was a bit slow

Table was booked for 7pm, we arrived at 7 sharp and were told "you're late, you can sit here". The table was in the middle of the restaurant's main walkway, which was unpleasant when a bunch of office workers decided to queue around us, shouting and jostling each other. The food was good, but expensive for what it was (£52 for two people; starter & main, sharing rice and naan with a drink each) and the 660ml bottle of Kathmandu beer wasn't chilled. The restroom facility was disgusting. Generally dirty and smelly, reminiscent of a dive bar. I'm not in the habit of leaving bad reviews but this is one dining experience I don't want to repeat.

Great food but very slow service due to there not being enough waiting staff to meet the number of covers. Granted, it was during the Edinburgh Festival but the potential increase in trade should be taken into account

Great for a bite before/after a show close to festival spots. Waiting staff friendly and recommended a great veggie dish. Only problem was it got a bit rowdy later on but only to be expected late Friday night.
