Fuimos aquí para una comida familiar para 7 de nosotros antes de un espectáculo en el ayuntamiento local para ver karen dunbar , tan pronto como toda la familia llegó nos empujaron 2 grandes platos de poppadoms y chutney que al chequear factura nos costó 8 . ¡50 por cada bandeja! Pensamos que eran gratis y no nos preguntaron si los queríamos, los entrantes llegaron todos bien y luego una hora de espera para el plato principal! El restaurante estaba lleno, pero casi nada de personal y además de ver para ir a comer pedidos 😕 el precio de una botella de cobra era caro en £ 7 la botella que cuesta 3 libras a lo sumo en las tiendas total de factura era £ 276 para 7 de nosotros y pensó que esto era ridículo 😳 no volveremos allí con prisa, incluso la comida era agradable, pero caro

Solo pedí comida para llevar, tuvimos un curry de rogan Josh. Pedí una salsa extra de rogan Josh, pero no creo que eso sea lo que conseguí. Fue como una salsa de tomate suave.

Found this gem quite by accident a few months ago, we've been three times for a meal and had one takeaway since. Absolutely delicious food, completely authentic, no over-sugared pastes used here!! Everything is cooked fresh to order. (The North Indian Chilli Garlic Chicken is second to none btw). The staff are very attentive but without hovering, and so friendly and welcoming. Menu prices reasonable as the quality of the food is very high. Also, importantly for us, family friendly. Looking very much forward to returning soon. I couldn't recommend more highly.

Gran lugar para ir después de una visita a la costa de Edimburgo - si no eres de Edimburgo y estás aquí para el festival, vale la pena el viaje para alejarse de la ciudad y disfrutar de algo de auténtica cocina india!

Promedio realmente y bastante caro. La parrilla mixta Tandoori vino con el pollo más flaco de la historia. Cebolla Baji era una Pattie plana que prácticamente brillaba con colorante rojo. Arroz y Naan fue bastante bien hecho, sin embargo

Very disappointing takeaway, onion bhajis were actually the worst I've ever had, soft, salty, overspiced patties- horrible. Garlic chilli lamb was also a bit salty and just 'okay' no depth of flavour at all, whole green chillis in there had no bite or even heat to them. Nothing delicious about it at all. Chapatti okay, Naan okay. Expensive and honestly pretty rubbish. I will never order from them again.

I had the tandoori mixed grill, which was tasty, but for £21 it is remarkably expensive. Despite being advertised as coming with salad, no salad was provided. It also does not come with rice nor naan, you have to pay extra, which is really bad. The food tasted good, lots of onions which were charred and tasty. Meat was one prawn, one kofta, a very skinny chicken drumstick/though, and a couple of pieces of chicken/lamb shish. I ordered a naan which was nice, thin and crispy rather than thick and fluffy. Overall a tasty meal but incredibly expensive for what was provided.

Came here on 3rd January 2025 and was pleased to find out, this was the first day of a new menu. Tried all the sharing plates and was very impressed! I don't know how chips could blow me away but they did. The BBQ 'Ribs' were great, a welcome spin compared to other vegan offerings. The Califlower bites were delish, some of the best I've eaten. I also LOVED my 0 alcohol vegan pina colada. I might have to pop in for more of these....talk about addictive! As a vegan it was nice to see that only one dish was not vegan/no vegan option. And vegan ranch! Where else can I get that. Staff very welcoming. The burger options did intrigue me, I'll have to come back to try ;)

I am vegan, and the first time I went here with my friend we asked what was ok for me, but the second time we went we asked again what was ok, and they told me at least 2 things we ordered last time had egg/dairy in it. They also kept saying "just a little bit of egg, just a little bit of milk, it's ok", like that made an ounce of difference and wasn't a big deal at all. It's a big deal to me, and I find it deeply concerning this dismissive attitude towards different beliefs and dietary needs. I am so shocked and disgusted at their attitude. If I had been alone, or with my partner, instead of with my friend, I would have just left without our order, but my friend seems to like it here. I no longer trust them, and will never ever order from here again. I would urge anyone with different dietary requirements to avoid this place completely. The food is also bland and basic and not even close to a good representation of Indian cuisine. There are far better Indians in the city such a Tuk Tuk, Dishoom, and even Bell Bottom.
