Wow this was the best Indian food I have eaten, the service was excellent and the food was delivered to us quickly. The food was so tasty with just enough quantity. I can’t recommend the restaurant enough, I can’t wait to come back!!

Don’t be put off by the vibrant, brightly lit decor. What this place lacks in ambiance it makes up for with its fabulous food and friendly service. An extensive menu with lots available to cater for all diets. The flavours are exquisite - definitely the best Nan bread in Edinburgh!

We had a superb meal in the Bombay Bicycle Club. It was quieter than I’ve known it to be because of Covid but the staff attention to detail was excellent and the food was just delicious. We shared starters of fish pakora and mixed pakora that covered a beautiful range of flavours and textures. The pakora were prepared in a light batter that allowed the flavours of the fish, chicken and vegetables to come thru... the haggis pakora easily fended for itself on flavour. We had mains of lamb madras curry and tandoori prawns on a bed of sizzling onions. The prawns were among best we have ever tasted and the lamb madras (I asked for slightly less hot) was wonderfully spicy, succulent and still had that familiar warmth. Drinks wise, Edinburgh tap water tastes good anyway, but the restaurant serve it chilled which was great and we had a glass of house red, perfectly delicious and was a good medium to full bodied and a glass of refreshing white with the prawns. Last word for the ambiance and the staff. The feel of the restaurant was familiar and relaxed, it’s lovely and airy and the big glass front brings lots of light and a chance to people watch. The staff are superbly courteous and friendly and as mentioned their attention to service is impressive. We will return soon, I recommend you give it a try too.

Just had dinner and thoroughly enjoyed it. We had fish pakoras, chilli chicken, vegetable Kathmandu and a chicken biryani all of which were excellent. Reasonably priced and lovely staff. It's in a quieter area of town but just next a large park that is great for a walk to burn off all the food. We love indian food and will definitely return

This restaurant can’t do takeaway: cold tandoori prawns fishy freezing nan. High prices need better than microwave crap. Putting salt on everything is no substitute for taste. Give up and leave it to people who want to make decent food that’s not overpriced and pinged in the wave seriously awful.

Tenemos samosas de verduras y Haggis pakora para empezar. Rodaballo. Luego platos principales, cada uno de nosotros pedimos algo diferente. Tuve el biryani de verduras que estaba muy bien servido y tenía un sabor fantástico. El servicio fue excelente y bien separado de otros comensales.

Place was quiet, but it was early in the evening and mid-week. We went as it had been recommended by my student son. He described his takeaway chicken korma as the best he'd ever had. The mixed pakora starters were tasty: the haggis pakora was novel and tasted good. Main courses were substantial and needed only rice or naan bread - not both. The pakora naan was excellent, light with a good balance of filling and dough. Service was prompt, efficient and polite; water was offered without us asking. I would visit again but would order less. We were all very full and none of us finished our meal completely.

There are plenty shops in Edinburgh that serve Indian and Asian food. Since we have ordered from Bombay Bicycle, we stopped trying other Indian restaurants. Sometimes, when we were ordering food from other Indian places, even though we were insisting to make it less spicy, their food so spicy that we couldn't finish it at all. Bombay's manager is a very kind person that takes to consideration what the customers want. We love this place!

My family and I decided after a long absence it was time for Indian cuisine. We read some reviews and this little place looked good. It didn't disappoint. We ordered 2x Tikka Masala, 1 x Korma 1 x Bhuranyi 3 x Pilla Rice and 2 x NaanWe were greeted with lovely service. One waiter in particular was funny and attentive. The restaurant was relatively basic decor but fitting. We had some lovely poppadoms and dips to start with. The tikkas and korma came in a solver dish pipping hot, the bhuranyi was in a similar dish covered in a naan and the waiter helpfully told us how it was cooked. The sauce dishes were excellent, the sauce was expertly flavored and the chicken was charcoaled having obviously been done in a tandoori oven. The naan was fresh and delicious and the rice well cooked. The only criticism with food was the bhuranyi, it was a little dry but I think that comes with the dish. All in all a great experience. If you want good-tasting Indian food for a reasonable price this is the place to go.

It is some years since we visited the Bombay Bicycle club restaurant and in the meantime we have experienced many of the similar establishments to be found in our towns and villages. But having expressed our wishes to the excellent serving staff that we required a lamb dish which would be worthy of true. Scottish lamb it purported to serve we were delighted that the owner chef took extra care to produce a lamb dish which was both tasty and tender. For this alone we would recommend this Indian restaurant . One has to accept that generally the sauces provided are very much the same with some modest additions to give a name twist but if the Basic ingredients are good then all is forgiven. Altogether an enjoyable evening with tasty food and happy service

Terrific Indian food, attentive service, and Kingfisher on draft. I was very satisfied with all the dishes I ordered, from the very freshly fried vegetable pakoras, the excellent dal, and the very recommendable naan to the signature Bombay Bicycle lamb curry. All the spices are complex and authentic. Not the cheapest but definitely one of the best Indian restaurants I have ever eaten in.

We were very disappointed with our order. The best part was the speed of delivery as it was very quick for dinner time, however, what was delivered was overpriced and underwhelming. We ordered a paneer mahkni, chicken tikka masala and a butter chicken; three different curries with three different spices which we order wherever we go. We could not tell which was which as they were all the same colour and texture, and once we worked out who's was who's we were disappointed. The chicken tikka was the worst of the dishes with many better being found elsewhere, it didn't live up to expectations. The butter chicken was oily and the taste was not that much different from the masala, which threw us a tad. My friend enjoyed their mahkni, however agreed it was not the best they have had. We are mostly disappointed as we had high expectations based on reviews found here and on other websites, and will most likely stick to our usual favourite restaurants. Glad we gave it a try, even if it wasn't to our taste.

As soon as i opened the box that the chicken pakora was in i knew it was going to be bad news. The chicken pakora was caked in thick uncooked batter and were unedible. I then opened my lamb jalfeezi. It looked and smelt repulsive and tasted even worse. It tasted of oil and nothing else and the lamb was full of grissle. The whole lot ended up in the bin and i ordered from somewhere else. This is without doubt the worst takeaway i have ever ordered.

I don't have Indian food much as I can't handle spicy food well, but I had the mildest dish and was able to still eat it so it's a yes from me! Also excellent naan bread

Tasty Indian food, affordable, good service and they did well to cater for our large group (roughly 30 people). Lots of veggie options, each thing was delicious!

Just had a fantastic dinner at the Bicycle Club last night! The curry dishes were just excellent but the starters and the nans were the real stars of the show! My friend and I asked the owner (lovely guy) to choose dishes for us and we certainly weren't disappointed (one lamb dish one chicken dish). The Kingfisher was on draft and well chilled. All in all, a really enjoyable time - we'll certainly be back!Thanks to the guys at the Bicycle Club for a great night - my recommendation is go to Cloisters for a relaxed pint and then enjoy a superb curry pretty much next door.

This is worth seeking out as it is not on the main tourist routes but not that far out from the hustle & bustle of the city, the service is fantastic and the food is superb. You will not regret eating here you will only regret not finding it sooner. A very nice touch is they give you a free sample of one of their starters while you are waiting for your order to come.

Can't fault the food here - tasty and spicy curries with a good range of sides and excellent nan (recommend the chilli one). Will definitely return for another visit and arrive earlier and less refreshed than this visit.

I've visited here twice in the last month. On both occasions we needed quick delivery as we only had an hour and on both times, the food was delivered quickly and efficiently. The food is of a high standard too, The Saag Ghosht with Garlic Naan was very tasty. A complimentary appetiser was also served which was a nice touch. I have visited her a number of times now and it has never disappointed.

Friday night dinner here. Exceptional service with friendly staff and the food was lovely. I only eat a korma as can't handle spicy food and the korma here was one of the best I have had. Boyfriend had chicken Sagoti and it was really tasty. Haggis and vegetable pakoras were really good too and we were given a complimentary taster before our starters, which was just a lovely touch. Wish we had been sooner. Will be back again.

Very handy restaurant if you are going to the theatre. The staff were very polite and helpful. Gave us an extra wee taster starter which was lovely. All our meals were lovely and the restaurant was not busy while we were in so it was very enjoyable - they were expecting a large party but they must have been due later.

This was my first visit to Bombay Bicycle club and wont be my last. The food was great and all seemed fresh and cooked with care. The samosa starter was superb followed by one of the best Lamb Saag's I have ever had. The wait time between meals was just right and the staff were pleasant and informative of each dish which came out. The dining area was nice also and not stuffy or hectic event though it was busy for a Saturday night. Only gripes would be the air conditioning was too high making it slightly chilly and once we had finished our mains there was no offering of desert or coffee.Overall I felt for the money we paid for the quality of food we had it was superb. This is an Indian restaurant I would certainly recommend and one of the best Indian meals I have had in Edinburgh

The Bombay Bicycle Club curry house is situated in the busy Tollcross area and it's a place I have passed on many occasions and wanted to try, and I did so just before Christmas with friends. I believe that it has changed ownership fairly recently and they face stiff competition with dozens of eateries nearby, so they have to aim high and it didn't disappoint with a warm, welcoming and immaculate environment.I went for the gilafi seek kebab (£4.95) which is described as lamb mince marinated with ginger, garlic, coriander & chilli, finished with mixed pepper, served with mint sauce and was served on skewers. I have to say that is was a taste sensation and I have never had anything so unique and delicious in a long time. Other friends chose a variety of starters and nobody had any complaints and highly rated their dishes.I chose the house special to follow (BBC lamb curry - £11.95) which is described as tender Scottish lamb cooked with onion, tomato, ginger & garlic, finished with coriander & coconut milk. It was delicious with a decent portion and quite spicy, which hit the spot.The service was fine with no complaints at all.The only negative points to note were the price of the drinks, which are at the top end of what you would expect to pay and this seems to be a common thread with the majority of restaurants nowadays.It is generally standard freshly prepared Indian fayre of a high standard in nice surroundings and a decent curry house that I would visit again.

Pre-Reservamos una fiesta de 10 para las 8 pm los domingos. Llegamos a tiempo a un restaurante casi vacío. Tuvimos que pedir para pedir bebidas. Tuvimos que pedir para ordenar algunos poppadoms. Tuvimos que pedir a los platos principales. Se volcaron a otros clientes y les dijeron que el restaurante estaba completamente reservado (estaba vacío aparte de nosotros). Los poppadoms estaban deliciosos. La cerveza de barril se había acabado. Sospecho que también se les acabó la comida. 90 minutos después de llegar aún no teníamos nuestros principales. Con un tren para coger les dijimos que tendríamos que salir en otros 5 minutos si no había comida. Platos (calientes) llegaron. Todavía en la comida después de otros 10 minutos. No hay explicación de la gestión de la demora. Finalmente, nos dimos por vencidos, pagamos por bebidas y poppadoms, y nos fuimos para tomar el último tren con el estómago vacío. NO UN RENDIMIENTO IMPRESIONANTE.

We randomly selected this restaurant as we were in Slough for a couple of days and looking for somewhere - we are delighted we did. As a family (kids 10 and 4) it can be difficult on a wet Wednesday night after driving 7hrs+ to get something everyone is happy with, but the staff were brilliant and organized our meal so there was something for everyone. They were also great with the kids and even though the restaurant wasn't busy I still felt they were attentive and ready to help for whatever we needed. The food was fabulous too. We each had a different meal and were struggling to decide which was best, my advice is to speak to the staff and let them know what you do and dont like and they can prepare it the way you want it. Nothing was too much trouble. All in all a lovely place and if we are ever in the area we will definitely be back!
