Guru in Edinburgh, City of

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Excellent food and generous portions served by very courteous and pleasant staff. The nan bread was enormous😂. We will definitely return.👍

We ate at Guru on our annual curry outing and it was excellent. As someone who has lived in Edinburgh all my life I’m sad I’m only discovering this excellent restaurant now. We had a banquet style set menu for 20 of us and there was more than enough food to go around. The restaurant itself is dry however you are allowed to bring your own booze if you wish. I decided to try one of their excellent Lassie smoothies which was wonderful and lived up to all expectations I had of it. Staff were wonderful and very friendly and the food was plentiful and you certainly didn’t leave hungry! The curry’s were different too with some nice mild ones and also some different spicy ones. I only got one photo from the night but really it was an excellent night. I am looking forward to returning with my girlfriend at some point.

Excellent Breakfast! Lovely surroundings and thoroughly enjoyed our chat with Waseem. Such a friendly atmosphere and excellent service. Will definitely return . Thank you . Iain and Frances 👍

I have been to Guru before, maybe 5 or 6 times & it had been good. However, with a voucher from myideals, which had worked many times before, including at Guru, I booked a lunch for 4 people at 12.30 today. Despite the confirmation of booking, on arrival there was a “sorry we are closed” sign. Mega embarrassing & very disappointing. No reason for being closed was given & there was no answer to their phone. I called again at night & was passed to a waiter to hear my grievance but he could not explain. To make matters worse, there was no apology, just irrelevant waffle about opening times for breakfast & when asked again for an explanation, not only could he, or would he do so, he stated, he was busy but would call me back later, which I doubted. He also questioned if I had booked the correct restaurant! And, surprise, surprise, he did not call back. Another failed promise! I will not book again or return!

Fabulous night, fantastic food all freshly cooked, lovely helpful people and so accommodating , catering for 18 of us Shiona

Decided to come here after getting a delicious takeaway a few weeks earlier and was really looking forward to it. However, disappointingly, our expectations were not met. As usual, we ordered poppadoms and the pickle tray while viewing the menu. We decided on pachos (Indian nachos) and dynamite prawns from the street food section of the menu as starters. While both were tasty, the portion size of the pachos was disappointing as was the fact that there was only a drizzle of cheese on top. The dips provided with them, however, did give them a lot more flavour. For mains my partner had chicken tikka with a South Indian garlic chilli sauce on the side, while I went for the chicken chasni. We had a cheese Nan, a garlic Nan and some pilau rice as accompaniments. The chicken tikka was delicious as was the sauce. Not normally one I like but this one had less lime and was not as bitter as I usually find it. One I would try again. While the chasni sauce was also fabulous the chicken was underwhelming as it appeared to come from a bag of frozen chicken cubes. This may be to keep costs down but does impact the quality of food delivered. Both nans were excellent. The service was excellent and atmosphere very good but not changing cutlery between courses is always a no no in my book. I really wanted this to be fabulous, and I don’t think it would take much to get there, but overall we left a bit deflated.

Mediocre. No veggie pakora on the starter menu. Chicken bhuna so-so in terms of taste and portion, although the cheese nan was huge and good value. BYOB system also kept down the overall price. Wednesday night and not busy so restaurant cold. Owner didn't help matters by allowing his children (or grandchildren?) to run around noisily as young kids tend to do when left to their own devices.

Good service, food was lovely, more like good home cooking than restaurant food. Not too expensive either.

… but on this occasion the takeaway meal was exceptionally disappointing both in quality and quantity. We’ll give it a miss for a while I think then may give it another chance to see if it has improved.

Beautiful food, felt like homemade. Lovely curries and huge naan bread. Good friendly service, very welcoming staff. Very good value

Weekday evening meal. The place was very quiet. First time we’ve ate here and will go back. Lovely lamb tikka masala and tandoori chicken. Mains. The naan bread is enormous and we should have only ordered one between us, not two. Lesson learned. The king prawn puri, as a starter was delicious. Amazingly tasty. Staff were lovely.

Been using the guru for years with no complaints, tonight how ever was a shambles from start to finish , the waiting staff where so undertrained, and customers entitled to use and obtain a blue light card discount , which I have used in the past but tonight discount offered only on my meal which has never happened before , and manager had a could not care lest attitude, which is a shame cause he in the past he could not faulted for the care and customer service , I hope I can put this down to a bad night

Tried Guru for the first time last night and will definitely return! It’s BYOB (£1 a can/bottle) which keeps the cost down and allows you to bring your faves. All the usual favourites plus a few individual specials. Great Poppadums/Pickles, decent Pakora and a spicy Chana Purée. CTM was a bit bland but the Chicken Jalfrezi was very tasty. However the Naan was ENORMOUS and really good! Will be back!

Do not use just eat for delivery as there is a communication difficulty on when food arrives! 2 hours late in my experience more than once!

Inicialmente ordené mi comida para llevar de este establecimiento con mucha anticipación. Sin embargo, el resultado final cayó muy por debajo de la media. El cordero estaba seco y sin sabor con una textura granulada (¿congelada?) Y las salsas de curry que lo acompañan dejan mucho que desear. Definitivamente no vale la pena el precio. NO lo recomendaría.

Chicken was tough cold and raw with blood running out of it Never again total waste of £17. Put me off chicken for life

Tuvimos una deliciosa comida de Guru. El cordero bhuna era increíble y el naan era enorme pero también muy sabroso. De hecho, todas las partes del menú fijo para 2 personas eran geniales y solo eran 24. Lo teníamos como comida para llevar y estuvo listo muy rápido. Muy recomendable.

Me habían recomendado visitar al Guru y no me decepcionó. La comida era uno de los mejores Balti que he probado y su Nan era literalmente enorme. ¡Una era suficiente para toda la familia! Gran servicio atento y un entorno muy agradable. ¡Sin duda volveremos!

Ranks as best Indian food I have ever had. Attentive service, prompt service ( though it was quiet at the time) and a pershwari nan to die for (also incidentally the size of a dustbin lid, so over half came home in a doggy bag) . Only one Negative, the actual restaurant could do with a freshen up , but the food more than makes up for that. 10/10 for the washrooms.

Amazing Indian with outstanding service and top quality food and dishes! Love the jalfrezi and Balti and often get delivered too when I’m looking for quiet night and always arrives fresh and hot! Love it.

Where do you go to warm you up during a rainy night in Edinburgh? The guru provided an exotic mix of tandoori style meat alongside dal and the most fluffy flavoursome naan I’ve ever tasted, crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle. Definitely worth the trip and look forward to come back again! 超级好吃的烤馕！服务友好，想吃肉的食肉动物们可以去尝尝！强烈推荐！

Very good food. Their naan is nearly 24 inches . We couldn’t finish even one third of it. We enjoyed our starter, ordered a lamb and vegetable dish for mail meal. All very good. Highly recommend this place.

Treated the family tonight and the food was terrible. Scraps of chicken in the biryani and everything was totally bland. Will never go back there again.

Los amigos locales recomendaron a Guru, así que tuvimos que intentarlo. La comida es excelente: bien preparada, bien condimentada y porciones generosas (el pan naan era literalmente tan largo como mi brazo. ¡Dos de nosotros pasamos la mitad de uno!) El servicio también fue muy amable. Precios justos y un ambiente informal agradable también. ¡Definitivamente vamos a estar de vuelta!

Not the cheapest but great quality food. Good mix on the menu with some slightly more unusual dishes.

Servicio cálido y amable; Los pedidos traídos a la mesa en doble tiempo rápido; chispas de fuentes mixtas tan recién sacadas de la parrilla que activaron las alarmas de incendio; Los naans más grandes que jamás habíamos visto. Duro como lo intentamos no pudimos terminar nuestras raciones. ¿Que es no gustar? Pequeño gran restaurante

Was there last night best puri I’ve tasted ever.. food was fantastic.. staff very attentive, made so much effort it was my hubs birthday ran to shops back with a cake.. thank you so much will be back.. carol&ian..

Can rely on Guru for a go-to simple tasty meal and you will only need one naan (they are huge) Atmosphere is a little bit lacking but we do appreciate their BYOB policy!

The Guru is a delightful establishment which serves up an array of fantastic Indian food. Whether that be a mixed grill, or curry - they have you covered (they also of course have vegetarian meals covered).

This curry house could be called Balti heaven. Best tasting and value for money in Edinburgh with superb huge Naan bread and friendly staff. It's BYOB also so will not break the bank. I have two superb meals here and will definitly go again.

Pros: speedy, hot and courteous staff.

Second visit to Guru. Delicious food exceptional naan. Service fun & attentive the staff have a great sense of humour and it is very family friendly. Looking forward to going again.

Just had a great night at the Guru. Hadn't told them that it was my birthday in advance but my son mentioned that it was and they came up with a cake and candle and everyone sang happy birthday. Magic. On top of that the food was fantastic and the naan is not only the biggest but best we have had. We will be back.

Wow what can I say the food is fantastic the nan bread is a must and the staff are great water and soft drinks available but byob for alcohol .

Small friendly restaurant. Excellent food and great service. Have been a couple of times now and really enjoy it. Huge nann, great selection of food. BYOB if required. You won't be disappointed.

No muy lejos del extremo oeste de Edimburgo hay un pequeño pero excelente establecimiento, muy amigable y de precio razonable. La característica sobresaliente era el tamaño de la opción excelente del pan naan, pero, por supuesto, tenían más de un pie de largo, una gran variedad de naans, así como un menú completo, lo que la convirtió en una elección difícil, ya que cada uno hizo una elección diferente. Servicio de comidas muy amable excelente todo el año.

all in all we had the most delicious indian food in edinburgh at guru's lovely place!! the best indian food. the cheese naan incredible!!

Fab food, shame the others cant compare! My new go to choice for tasty Indian food. The naans are huge! Tucked away a bit, but seek it out!

Este es un lugar que debes visitar si eres fanático de la India. Estuve de vuelta en el país por una semana y tuve que asegurarme de venir.

I visited here after an absence of a few years due to relocation. Came home to the best Indian meal in ages. Jally

I’ve been going to the Guru for over ten years now and the food is always fantastic, it’s a hidden gem of Edinburgh and well worth travelling across town to get to.

First time visit but I’ll be back. Fresh, tasty food of a high quality. Very friendly y and professional service. Highly recommended.

Regularmente este restaurante con la familia y amigos y el curry de aquí son los mejores que he tenido en Edimburgo. El personal es super amable y el tamaño de las porciones. El pan nan es enorme!

Regularly use for take out but also lovely to sit in. Meat was so tender (chicken and lamb) service was friendly and fast and food tasted fresh and tasty! Can't wait to go back.

The food was great, service even better. The lamb paneer with spinach was very tasty but next time I will ask for the spiciness to be ratcheted up a little. Highly recommendable - we'll be back.

The biggest naan I’ve ever had and the most delicious!! The staff are extremely friendly and very attentive. The food was delicious!! Had to leave some behind, which was a shame, but left extremely satisfied with a belly full of good food!! Highly recommend!

En primer lugar la opción de una mesa de la calefacción era un salvavidas. . . . . Había estado nevando. Es £2 botellas BYOB, pero bien vale la pena saber vas a beber un vino sabes que te gusta. La comida era exuberante! El equipo era bueno en explicar el tamaño de las porciones o habríamos perdido mucho. También nos gustó el pan Naan. Enorme y muy sabrosa (nunca puedo conseguir demasiado nan). Uno entre 2. Tenía buena carne curry suave y en ellas se separó y una profundidad preciosa de sabor. Volveremos pronto para llevar o pedir!

Fui con un grupo de amigos. La calidad de la comida era mediocre. Sin embargo, el servicio era realmente malo. Los camareros no tienen idea acerca de la comida y lleva tiempo 30 minutos para encontrar si sirven los alimentos que estaban en el menú. Yo no me alojaría allí de nuevo.

Friendly staff who served us quickly possibly because we all wanted away for New Year!

Fantastic!!! Ten of us went out for a birthday meal and it was absolutely brilliant. The service was great, food was brought out quickly and it was all lovely and really fresh. Nan breads were huge and two of them were enough for the ten of us. The staff couldn't have been nicer and we were there until the restaurant closed but there was no pressure from the staff to hurry up. Would definitely recommend it either for a quiet couples meal or a group night out. Ten out of ten.

We used to live very close to the Guru many years ago and it was always excellent, their speciality was serving naan bread the size of a small country.

Average restaurant. Nothing really to praise. Curry was pretty bland. Staff stand outside the front of the restaurant and smoke. Needs addressing.

We are regular visitors to this restaurant and can always be guaranteed a great welcome, excellent service with a bit of banter and a few laughs and fantastic Indian food. It is spotlessly clean and the décor is tasteful and modern. The Guru does not have a drinks licence but operates a BYOB policy which allows you to take your favourite tipple and save being ripped off by the huge mark up most restaurants apply to drinks.

A small Indian restaurant that serves a good curry. The nan breads are really excellent plus they are huge so...

Combinado con el gran personal crea un ambiente de craqueo. y la comida, todo lo que quieres cuando estás en el ánimo de algunos sabores genial y curry. Excelente el tamaño de las porciones

Visitamos esta noche por segunda vez, la última vez fue de unos 18 años. Recuerde que una comida estupenda última vez con raciones enormes, esta noche fue la misma! ! Gran sabor, impresionante naan, hablador, un personal amable y una bolsa para el perro en...

Indian Punjabi y ofrece la selección de comida con una barra dentro del restaurante. Comidas de pollo es kosher (Halal) Así que amigos musulmanes pueden unirse también y hay comida vegetariana disponible. Pruebe el pollo briani y algunos cócteles. Negocios es buena y normalmente necesita reservas es inteligente para llamar antes de ir allí.

Una experiencia absolutamente delicioso. El personal era muy servicial y atento, y la comida era increíble, particularmente las samosas. Excelente relación calidad-precio y me encanta la política byob. Para mí eso significa que garantizan la calidad de su comida a precios razonables para el beneficio. En Edimburgo ⭐ mejor ️ ⭐ ️ ⭐ ️ ⭐ ️ ⭐ ️

Always an excellent curry, never had a bad one.Good value for money.Have been using as a takeaway service on and off for 7 years

Haven't been in years but was still remembered by a staff member, service and food as always was fantastic and didn't cost a bomb!

Guru is one of very few top Indian restaurants in Edinburgh in terms of its food and taste supplied after I have tried so many Indian restaurants in Edinburgh. It has a very different menu compared to other Indian restaurants. Even traditional curries are cooked with a little twist designed by the chef. It also cooks very tasty vegetarian dishes, which my favourite is definitely saag daal. It is full of beans' flavour and rich.

The wife and I are regular visitors to the guru .The food is fantastic and naan breads are superb .Staff are very friendly .Always a great night out

Ordered two takeaway dishes and was told on the phone it came to a total of £20. However, when my boyfriend went to collect it the price was different at £31. Ridiculous prices for the portion size, majority consisting of sauce. Poor flavour for an 'authentic Indian' would not recommend at any cost. Only positive being the size of the naan.

I ordered a takeaway whilst away on a hen weekend to cure the hangover. The best tikka masala I have tasted by far and the naan bread was amazing. I'll definitely be visiting the restaurants on my return to Edinburgh.

Visited here with my partner on a Friday night after reading great reviews. We had not booked in advance but were offered a cosy table. Food was excellent with generous helpings, especially the nan bread. We both have large appetites but struggled to finish off one portion of rice between us. Great service, friendly and efficient staff. Excellent value for money. This is our new favourite Curry house and we will definately be returning.

I went here for my mums birthday and there was about 9 of us! Great quality food and fantastic service. I wasn't 100% sure what I fancied and the waiter asked me a few simple questions and found the perfect curry for me. Definitely be going back!!

We go to this restaurant regularly. The food is of a very high standard and the service professional. We are never disappointed! A high quality Indian, authentic restaurant in fountain bridge, Edinburgh 2017.

Ok.. I was invited for a group dinner and it was my first time to go to this place. I'm dining at least 3 - 4 times a week in different restaurants. This place gives you the feeling of sitting in a takeaway curry house. The delivery drivers are rushing through the whole restaurant from kitchen to the main door between the tables. It creates an uncomfortable atmosphere and you will wish to eat and go asap.The food quality on scale of 1 - 10 when is 1 is very bad and 10 is excellent, it is 4 at all. I'll say there are really many fantastic Indian/Pakistani restaurants in Edinburgh. Feel free to try it yourself and have your own opinion.I'll definitely not go again to ruin my Saturday evening dinner out.

Table of 6 post rugby curry.Top service, great food and brilliant atmosphere.BYOB really takes the cost down.Poppadums, starter, mains and rice/naan worked out at less than £20 each.Will definitely be back!

My dad has been going to this Indian restaurant before I could even walk and now at 23 years old, it is firmly in my heart. There is no better Indian in Edinburgh. Fact. The food is truly authentic in taste and the service is second to none! If you decide to go - ask for a recommendation. The North Indian garlic chilli chicken and the chicken jaipuri is the two favourites in my household, not forgetting the MASSIVE peshwari naan and of course MANGO CHUTNEY!!!

Came here with my eldest his girlfriend and my partner. The restaurant is modern but friendly and clean. The staff were attentive, efficient and quick. The food however was seriously good the naan were massive. We all were very happy with our different dishes. They were all delicious.

I've been coming to Guru for 14 years and there was a time when it was such a firm favourite of mine that I wouldn't have gone two weeks without having eaten here. Since then a few things have changed in Guru and unfortunately not all for the better...Service is still good and naans are still huge but the food doesn't taste as fabulous any longer and the decor and atmosphere have lost their original charm. It now feels like a cheap eatery, no warmth and comfort. I can't exactly fault any of their dishes - there's nothing wrong with them, all I can say that they no longer taste amazing, simply average.Guru used to be one of those restaurants that were worth making a special trip to - alas, no more. If you're in the neighbourhood it's still a pretty decent Indian to visit but no more than that. A pity...

We chose to eat food from here because of their claim to be the chief gurus of Baltis in Edinburgh. Well can I tell you these were mediocre curries to say the least. Yes they produce large ban breads but for food taste and authenticity that's about as good as it gets. To say that these curries were Baltis us so wrong. They were four different curries which it looks like were made from the same basic and rather thin gravy. A big disappointment I'm sorry to say.

Yes, you do have to bring your own alcohol-or don't drink alcohol! We brought our own. The staff is welcoming and very friendly. Biggest Naan I have ever seen -ever so tender. We were a larger group and shared everything.Everyone was happy with the meal. I would definitely recommend eating here again.

Welcoming people, lovely food, veryy huuuge nans, for an ok price, you should definitely go there if you are looking a good Indian restaurant ! Recommand

I had a meal at the Guru and enjoyed it so much I wanted to share a review of the restaurant, the staff are welcoming and friendly, the portions are big, the naan breads are the biggest I've ever seen!I had the chicken tandoori starter it had loads of flavour and the meat was soft, I'd also recommend the chicken karahi it was cooked to perfection, I'd definitely recommend trying this place out you'll not be disappointed

Service, value for money and the quality of the food on offer here plus the fact it is a BYOB make this the best Indian in Edinburgh.Portions are very large, the naan bread is huge and the waiters are very attentive. I used to live near here and after moving further out of town I still wouldn't go anywhere else.

We use Guru to meet up with friends whenever we are in Edinburgh.Its tried, tested and passes muster every time we visit. Thats precisely why we keep going back. The food is always tasty, well-cooked and the naan breads are huge! I'm sure we've bought booze there before but since August 2015 its a BYOB establishment. Bit of a pain having to lug bottles about but ultimately its a lot cheaper.Excellent service and food; what more could you wish for.

This is a small Indian restaurant but good things come in small packages and in this case I don't know why I haven't reviewed this earlier. We have been using this restaurant for some time for special occasions and the food is excellent. Bring a good appetite as the main portions are generous and 1 naan will feed 6; it's the width of the table! The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Let them know how mild, spicy, hot or sweat-inducing you want your food and it will be done. Prefer a smaller portion? no problem, any request seems to be met on their extensive menu.It is now BYOB with the usual selection of soft drinks so that will allow you to bring along your favorite tipple if you don't have the car. Our no.1 Indian in the Capital.

On ordering for only our second the same guy answered the phone and was able to tell me what we ordered last time "which impressed me" .We changed our original order and when our delivery arrived one of the orders I had got wrong,I phoned up to explain ,the customer service was excellent they sent the new dish promptly without charge --Amazing customer service given t was my mistake ----Thank you Guru we will be back again and again

Just had the most amazing takeaway from here- all the food was fresh, hot and delicious. This is going to become a regular for us!!

This has to be my favorite Indian restaurant in Edinburgh. We hadn't been in a while but the waiter remembered us. The portions are very generous and the quality of the food never fails to impress. The naan on this occasion was perhaps a little smaller than usual but only just. I had the Lamb dopiaza and my husband had the pathia and both were excellent. I was a little to greedy and opted for the poppadom & pickle tray and a starter so i was fairly full when we got the main. No problem, they pack it up for you to take home! On a downside, it is comparatively priced but doesn't seem do any deals or offers. I would visit more often if they offered a mid week deal and I suspect lots of other people would to.

I have eaten in Guru for years, but have been abroad for past 6 yrs, decided last week that I wanted a curry and decided to try Guru again, I was having a carry out, I have to say, I was not disappointed, the quality of the food is still the same, so tasty, gorgeous and tasty, authentic, good portion sizes, fabulous nan breads, however I have to say, 3.25 for rice and 3.25 for nan is more expensive that I remember? meal for one came to over 14 pounds...

Visited here last night for my daughter's birthday - there were five adults in the party.I actually have a 'claim to fame' with this restaurant...I was their first ever customer! That was about 20 years ago and I have been back many times since, but with less frequency recently.On approaching the restaurant the first thing you can't fail to notice is the big sign in the window telling you that they have been BYOB since August 2015. What I didn't realise was that meant they didn't have a licence at all. So my bottom was on a seat for less than 3 minutes when I had to hot-foot it round the corner to the nearest off-license for some beer (yes, I went for Cobra)!The starters were nice, but both my wife and I have had better chicken pakora and lamb sheik kebab respectively.Nan bread was amazing in both taste and size. Unless you are a party of 6 and above, do not order anymore than one bread.Now for the mains...not good! I make my own curries 2-3 times a week, so not only do I compare dishes to other restaurants, but also what I make with my own fair hand. To be honest, not many compare to my homemade fayre, but these didn't even get close to other Indian establishments on the west side of Edinburgh - see my reviews on Jashans and St. John's Curry Club. Bland is one word that springs to mind. My brother's dish actually tasted like a Chinese chicken curry...bizarre!Staff are nice and the service was great, but it can be quite chilly during winter as the restaurant is small and the front door opens right into the seating area.Will probably go back one day for old times sake, but it won't be for a while.

I wasn't in the mood for something too spicy on this occasion, so opted for the passanda. It was lovely and flavourful. Sometimes places substitute spice for flavour and the mild curries are a let down, but not here. The giant naan have to been seen to be believed.

Excuse me waiter I thought I ordered the large naan? It's the same old jokes at the Guru, but they never get old.I've been going here on and off for years. The curry has always been good. It's not the best curry in town, but it is a decent standard. The portion sizes are large so if you're not a big eater then consider skipping the starters. Personally I enjoy their starters (the puri and mince samosas are ace) so I order a starter and main and take any leftovers home a doggy bag.One of us ordered the Vindaloo, which was tasty but very hot. He considers himself to be a bit of a tough guy and is always asking for extra chillies. Well he met his match with the Vindaloo. So much so that he was more than willing to share it with the rest of us. The sweat was pouring off him with every mouthful he did manage to swallow. The rest of the curry was just pushed about on his plate until one of the friendly waiters saved him from his torture and took his plate away. How we laughed.The BIG selling point of the Guru is the naan bread. It is truly magnificent. Our group always refer to the Guru naans as parachutes. They are genuinely massive and absolutely delicious too. I've had many curries in London and I've very rarely had a naan bread bigger than the size of a side plate. Well the Guru naans most certainly do not disappoint.As long as I've known the place it has been BYOB. It was never advertised that way and always used to have Kingfisher on draft. However the restaurant no longer has a liquor license so if you want some alcohol then you'll need to bring some with you. Luckily there are some corner shops about 100 yards away if you forget. This local knowledge can be useful if one of your stingy pal turns up without beers expecting to get tucked into everybody else's. You can politely tell him to beat it and get along to the shop.The corkage is fixed at £1 per head. So if you are like me and enjoy 20 beers with your curry then you can take comfort that you will only pay a quid for the privilege. You really can't argue with 5p per bottle can you?To place looks quite small, but is a bit of a Tardis. I would guess that it seats up to 50. I've been there with a large group and also my better half and it never disappoints.I highly recommend the Guru. Only then will you understand what I say about the naan bread.

I was there a few days ago, staffs did not know any thing about the menu at all. Nobody could help me or at least offer an acceptable service and I had to wait for more than one and half hour there for food

On top of lack of hygiene, food is expensive and very bland. Went because I had groupon voucher but would never return again. This place is bad even by low standards of Edinburgh so-called Indian food and is really to be shunned!

Do not buy a Groupon deal from this restaurant it is very difficult to redeem and when I asked for help from the restaurant to redeem the manager was extremely rude and made me feel like I was a getting in his way. The food was very disappointing as well very tasteless. Safe to say I will not be back Groupon or not, this experience was on Friday 11th September 2015.

I ordered a family meal which consisted of 3 Curries, one nan and 3 rice for a home delivery.Two of the curries tasted the same, no flavour, vegetables or spice, and the other was filled with salt! The chicken was of poor quality and hadn't been anywhere near a tandoori oven.The rice was gloopy and had a green tint to it???Yes, the nan was large but very doughy! Over all, the food was uneatable and very over priced so I decided to contact the restaurant to complain. I spoke with the manager who was very efficient, pleasant and was pleased that I had called as he believed negative feedback helped them to improve their business. He then offered me a full refund which I accepted. As the restaurant has been successful for many years I'd like to think this was just an "off night" and that they continue to receive positive feedback for the good food they seem to make.

Used groupon voucher to purchase takeaway from guru tonight.The food was awful the chicken pakora was obviously last nights leftovers reheated so yellowed and chewy not fit to eat would have broken my teeth.The curries where very bland altho i asked for extra spicy and a distinct lack of chicken.Thw manager had a terrjble attitude and made a comment about us not ordering rice surely thats our choice.They would never have dared serve that food up to customers in the restaurant.I question whether it was because we were groupon customers that the food was so poor or is this what they now serve in the guru to all their customersThe guru used to be one of our favourite restaurants in edinburgh and we spent many a night there so it was even more dissapointing.We certainly will not be returning and would not reccomend it.

Great place, amazing food and the biggest naan breads you will ever see. Always fresh, tasty and with good service too. Easy location for me which has encouraged way too many takeaways as well as the odd sit in (restaurant is nice inside and is constantly getting redecorated or freshened up).

Went here on route to another place what a good piece of luck I found you. Great meal thanks will be back

the meal tonight was not up the usual high standard we have come to expect from this establishment.Service was reasonable but the food was below par

Staff were very friendly, expedient and attentive.Great curry and breads were huge and tasty.One of the best places to eat curry and child friendly.

Now live overseas but visit the Guru every time I return to the city. Ignore the dodgy 2 reviews here, there has been consistency for a number of years of good indian food, huge naans and decent prices. Situated in the west of the city. We were 2 people and couldn't finish the naan, crazy big. Recommended.

This is just a horrible place to eat at. The food is of really poor quality and the customer service is appalling. First they got our order wrong then instead of apologising, they simply showed rude attitude then gave us the food that was cold and tasteless. Do not go there you'll be wasting your time and money

Very disappointing, the place is so dirty and disgusting, the staff are rude and always on their mobile phones. The curries were cold tasteless and probably left overs from the night before. Complete waste of money. 0.5/10

Great selection of food, fantastic service and friendly staff that remember you. Only warning are the huge naans you only need one between 3 people :-) It's our favourite stop before heading to rugby

Went to this restaurant on a quiet Tuesday night with a friend. We had 4 Poppadoms with various sauces to start with while we looked over the menu. They were freshly made and delicious. We both had starters along with main course and both had our own rice dishes. 1 Naan bread to share and it cost us £45.00. This restaurant is BYOB friendly. Good for us as we brought 2 bottles. Top Tip. Only order 1 Naan bread. Its about half the size of the table. A great marketing tool. Everyone talks about it. The service was quick and friendly. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys an Indian meal. It is on the pricier side but well worth it.
