Awaafi Indian Arabic Cuisine in Edinburgh, City of

Qué joyita increíble de un lugar. ¡La comida Kerala más auténtica que he probado en el Reino Unido durante 20 años! Vale la pena viajar a visitar! Definitivamente volveré de nuevo! ¡Sigue trabajando!

Visitamos su restaurante el día de Navidad con mi familia y nos quedamos decepcionados con el servicio. Tuvimos que esperar más de 15 minutos solo para llamar la atención. Cuando llegaron nuestras comidas, nos sirvieron un plato extra que no pedimos y el paquete que llevamos a casa tenía artículos que faltaban. Dijeron que me volverían a llamar para emitir un reembolso pero nunca lo hicieron. Si bien la comida era excelente, el servicio no estuvo a la altura de las expectativas.

Ofrecen un buen servicio y comida de calidad. Tienen una variedad de comida del sur de la India en su menú y vale la pena por el dinero que gastamos.

Bonito lugar para la familia 😁 El servicio es un momento impresionante para que comprueben si todo está bien con su comida. Enormes porciones también.

Hice una reserva con una semana de antelación, pero aparentemente, eso no significaba nada aquí. Entramos esperando estar sentados rápidamente, solo para ser recibidos con miradas en blanco y confusión. Después de 10 minutos de tropezar con su “sistema de reservas” (también conocido como un pedazo de papel que extraviaron), nos dijeron que tendríamos que esperar —junto con una fila de caminata— a aquellos que no se molestaran en reservar. ¿Cuál es el punto de tomar reservas si simplemente las ignoras? Toda la experiencia se sintió como una broma de mal gusto, excepto que no me reí mientras estuvimos de pie durante una hora. Es seguro decir que, si planea reservar con antelación aquí, no se moleste. Recibirás el mismo trato que si te quedaras vagando por la calle.

Authentic south Indian Kerala food. That's what you get here. And it's reasonably priced. Do try the chatti chorus ( a pot mixture of rice with over 8+ side dishes).

Best kerala food in edinburgh. Porottayum beefum is soo good💯. Kerala mocktais after the food brought me back to nostalgia. I’d recommend everyone awaafi for the authentic kerala food.

Terrible service and awful food , had a chicken dish and the chicken was full of bones the dish tasted like it was past its best And not cheap either .

This small restaurant is one of most authentic Indian restaurants that I’ve visited anywhere in Europe. The feeling of being transported to India is real. Most of the customers were Indian, some eating in traditional Indian way with the right hand. The food is very good, apart from the Pistachio Kulfi which appears to be just a fairly dull ice cream rather than a proper Kulfi. The restaurant itself is fairly stark and functional in appearance rather than comfortable and inviting. Unfortunately the toilets need improvement as well as better cleaning. I do hope that the kitchen is maintained to a higher standard.

Excellent food & service from the staff, a great experience in a hustling bustling restaurant. Would recommend the plantain & beef dish!

Amazing place! Food was incredible, perfectly cooked and spiced. The lady was very helpful with the order, the avocado lassi she made was incredible and decorated. Very good place, can't recommend enough, will surely be back. Its also very affordable!

Best authentic South Indian food highly recommended mandi, Shawaya,Alfham kondatam, Malabar dum biryani, awafi premium, mint lime .

I’d say Awaafi is the best Authentic Indian restaurant in Edinburgh. Puttum beefum and neychorum beefum combo is a true gem. My friend had chicken kondattam which is spicy Kerala style. I’ll be back soon again😍😍

✨We stumbled upon this place by accident. I was navigating to another Indian restaurant when we passed by this place. It was buzzing with customers, so I decided to give it a try. Luckily, they had a table available. We ordered mostly starters. However, their portion sizes are very generous, so it was more than enough for us.❤️ The food is very flavorful. After eating bland English food, this was a refreshing change. Service is excellent. Shout out to our server Mushab, who made sure we got exactly what we needed.🙌🏻

Authentic taste and very reasonable price. Highly recommend this place. Will definitely visit again.

My wife and I are at Awaafi recently and was impressed with the food on offer - it was very tasty. The service was pretty slow as they seemed to be doing a huge amounts of carry ours, but the service was very friendly. The ambience was not good, particularly as we had a screaming child at the table behind us, who should have been controlled by his parents, but wasn’t. That was not the restaurants fault however.

We had an amazing dining experience at Awaafi, Edinburgh. Though the restaurant is small the food was simply outstanding. From the traditional kerala snacks to the flavorful biryani, every dish was a delight for the taste buds. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the evening even more enjoyable. I highly recommend trying their porotta & Beef, it's a must-try for anyone who loves Kerala cuisine.

From the beginning their service have been very friendly which make us to visit again. They have some variety of Kerala style cuisines which is hard to find in other Indian restaurants. Shawaya mandi is my favourite. Must try Indian and Arabic food restaurant in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Superb. Great south Indian and Arabic restaurant we have eaten in. Great menu of modern and arabic meals. They added all proper spices with the food.Friendly staff who were a great part of our night with helpful advice.

Excellent food at a very good price point. Staff were friendly and helpful 😁 making sure our meal was an enjoyable experience. Would highly recommend this place to have a wonderful meal.

The food was too delicious ☺️ I recently had the pleasure of dining at the newly opened Awaafi in Edinburgh, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. Exceptional Service and Ambience: The service at Awaafi was top-notch, with attentive staff who were friendly and the ambience is inviting, with a modern yet cozy interior that creates a perfect atmosphere for a meal out.

I had the most wonderful experience dining in Awaafi Indian and Arabic cuisine. as it had authentic Indian cuisine and the taste was exactly the same I had in my hometown it was very filling and the portions of food was pretty much good. I would highly recommend who looking for Authentic South Indian and Arabic food.

The only place I would like to go again to eat real south Indian food, love the food. Lovely atmosphere.

A must go in town . Worth your time . Shawaya and beef are must try . Trust me authentic Indian Arabic cuisine. You won’t regret ❣️🥰.

A very good restaurant, serving authentic Indian and Arabic cuisine. Friendly staff and an amazing experience!

Serving best indian and Arabic Dish. Awaafi’s Kerala dishes are so satisfying. Porottayum Beefum, Puttum Beefum, Pazhamporiyum beefum will defenitely bring back the nostalgia for every Malayalees. I would say if you wanna feel South india, Awaafi is the perfect place in Edinburgh. When it comes to Arabic dishes, Shawaya is the best among mine. Shawaya and alfahm also comes with the Mandi rice. A best place to have food with good ambience and good service

Best Arabic Indian cuisine in Edinburgh, if you miss the homey food ,lets try awaafi,highly recommend Mandi,shawaya puttu,porottaa and beef

Me and my friends went in for dinner and had ordered a chicken biryani and 3 mixed grills, the chicken in the biryani was undercooked we called the manager he then offered to change it but we decided to order a veg dish instead, we then realised the tandoori chicken were undercooked too it was all pink inside when we complained the manager was very rude and wasn’t willing to listen and kept saying it’s cooked! my friends then tried explaining we can’t eat undercooked chicken as you can get food poisoning and ill with it but he kept auguring! They then turned up the music so other customers can’t hear us complain. Basically if u don’t want to get unwell eating undercooked chicken don’t go! The naan was also very hard and the glasses wernt clean either….AVOID
