The food was very nice and delicious, it filled me up very much. The service was incredible and I was treated with most respect. The waiting time was not too long and if I were to come to an Indian restaurant again I would definitely come back to Bonoful restaurant.

I would like to express how delighted I am with the food quality, service and atmosphere of this restaurant! Such a clean restaurant, very pleasant staff and welcoming! Not to mention how delicious the food was! I even asked for the recipe and they were more than happy to assist me. I will definitely be back and highly recommend.

Tastey perfect cuisine. Freshly prepared and generous quantities. We travelled from the city centre to Edinburgh's sunny Portobello just to savour Bonoful's fantastic flavours. We will cheerfully return. The staff are brilliant. Welcoming and calming.

Bonoful has never disappointed us, we get takeaway regularly and sit in every so often - the service has always been fantastic and the food is delicious and fresh! Great place to go after a visit to Edinburgh’s Seaside - if you’re not from Edinburgh and are here for the festival, it’s worth the journey to get away from the city and enjoy some authentic Indian cuisine!

Average really and quite expensive. Tandoori mixed grill came with the skinniest chicken ever. Onion Baji was a flat Pattie that practically glowed with red food colouring. Rice and Naan was quite nicely done though

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.

From now on, whenever I come to Portobello, I won't miss their food. My suggestion is that those who are looking for good ambience and delicious food should go to Banoful. 👍

Absolutely brilliant food. Delicious curry every time but their price point is becoming ridiculous. A curry and naan (no rice or anything else) should not cost £18. Now at the stage of becoming too expensive to enjoy which is really sad.

I spontaneously decided to take away a tandoori roti there today while waiting for my bus. I waited for almost half an hour which is way too long for roti, as it does not take that long to prepare. When I asked one of the waiters halfway in if my order was ready soon, he seemed rather annoyed. It was hard to understand him, so that he ended up shouting at me rather aggressively until I finally understood what he said, which was disrespectful. One of the other waiters apologized for the wait as it was a busy day. I can understand that, however, They still should have told me beforehand that I would have to wait that long. I also wasn’t told beforehand that card payment came with a 50 pence fee. Their prices seemed rather high in comparison, as well. The roti itself tasted fine, but the entire experience was very unpleasant.

Please note that my review it's not reflecting the food or the service I have been provided - 5 stars for that ! My 3 star review is simply there because of the pricing. Im not a rich person but also not very poor. Today I was hungry and decided to pop in. I was probably the first customer of the evening so the guys there have chance to shine, they went above and beyond to make me feel happy and comfortable. Unfortunately this not change the fact that I was simply ripped off. I've been in few restaurants in my life all over the Country and abroad but paying nearly £70 for a single person dining in for a 3 course meal ??? I did not even go fancy - yes I have drunk 3 Cobra's then small starter, normal Curry and rice, some bread and cheap dessert. I this really come up to nearly £70 ? £64.55 was my bill and then I give them £3 tip as I could not afford the suggested 10 % :((( Please correct me if Im wrong. If I'll take my wife and baby with me the bill could easily come up to around £150 - £190 maybe £200 ?? Yes the food was great (almost) as the starter chicken wings was not that good. Curry and the rest was amazing. I'll upload receipt here for yourself to judge. Is it paying £5.50 for 2 popadoms and all the sauces ok ? is it paying £3.50 for small bowl of just boiled rice ok ? is it paying £7 for a Cobra ok ? I'll leave it with you. Im not tight and Im not person who moan but fu...me ! put it that way for your calculation, for a Cobra, boiled rice and 2 popadoms you will have to pay: £16 quid. What this world and this place come up to ? Normal family have to spend nearly £200 for a dinner ? are you guys for real ? Whatever good was you food you will not see me there again ! And others - I hope will learn from this review. YOU paying for that Cobra £1.50 in Costco there is no need to charge £7. Bag of rice will do you 100 bowls like this is there need for charge customers £3.50 for a small bowl of boiled rice ? is it ? Not happy at ALL !!

STAY AWAY! Horrible Food and Packaging, This was a terrible experience from start to finish. I ordered the butter chicken, and it was way too sweet, completely ruining the dish. Tried a few other items too: the naan was dry and rubbery, the biryani had no flavor and felt like leftover rice thrown together, and the gulam ja moon never made it. To make things worse, the packaging was disgusting—everything was leaking and poorly sealed. Honestly, nothing about this meal was good. I won’t be ordering from here again and definitely don’t recommend it to anyone looking for decent food.
