INDIA KITCHEN in Edinburgh, City of

Great service good food for a great price

Nice place on the Royal Mile, very good food and super friendly staff. Highly recommended

Visited from Australia looking some home made taste Indian food , that’s the place . Food 5 Star yumm , definitely come back and recommend to everyone,,❤️❤️❤️

Service was great; Priyanshi was friendly, polite and attentive. My food arrived quickly and was piping hot. The portions were large but I was determined to finish. The Chicken Achari was full of flavour and the chicken was tender. The jeera rice was perfect with it, and I washed it down with an alcohol free Kingfisher lager. There was a good selection of drinks, including alcohol free options and soft drinks. I would definitely go back

Very friendly staff, high service, very tasty, fresh and homemade food. Taste authentic Indian cuisine here! Thanks Ujjwal❤️

We had the mixed vegetable biryani which was really good and the Delhi-style noodles which were really Delhi-style! Ujjwal was a wonderful host as well. Maza aa gaya!!!

We had a lovely meal between our walking tour. Food and service are amazing amazing. Our server was Ujjwal he was very helpful and friendly. We highly recommend this place and would like to come back and try other dishes!

Walked down from the castle tour and enjoyed delicious food and wvery attentive and cordial service - Delhi style noodles was super! Veg biryani and Jamun with ice cream awesome! Thanks guys for the service and beautiful songs that were being played!

Good meal but nothing more Prices however correct

Worst Indian I've ever been to. The service was slap-dash and food not very good. My friend had to send her food back. There are a lot if smashing Indian Restaurants in Edinburgh, don't waste your money going here.

Very nice dinner all the food amazing Thanks to Ujjwal for his courtesy and professionalism and extreme help to choose the correct curry and specially the amount of the order!!!

I was on a trip with my family and friend and we were 10 people along with children. We were very happy to see the name and were very hungry at that time. But the food really disappointed and moreover, staff were very unpleasant and not at all polite and service was not good like its food. Food portion was not good and price little higher side. Not even a single food item we ordered was worth to give 8 points out of 10. So you can understand the quality of food. ( I may be little harsh in this review but that’s true) I believe one with Indian taste should not visit this place and if he/she decides to go will come back disappointed( like we came). But if you so craving for Indian food then buy something otherwise find some other place.

Very good food and Mounica and Sohail helped us very pleasantly

Delicious food. Fresh, authentic dishes. My girlfriend had the shrimps, which were deliciously prepared, and I had a chicken tikka masala, which also tasted excellent. Highly recommended! The hostess Mounica was also very friendly.

Shiya and sneha, very nice and kind people, they were very helpful to find out the best plates of india

Lovely staff: gorgeous food. Quick service. Fun location.

I couldn't fault this place. The food was incredibly tasty, and the curries had such unique flavours. Great service, I would absolutely recommend!

Mounica and Swapnil were amazing

I was looking for nice food and a comfortable nice Ambiente and I found it here. Mounica, my server, was so kind and made me feel so welcomed. I will definitely come back again.

The food and service here was top notch. Great value and definitely worth is stop by .

Lovely restaurant, great service and excellent food, great value for money and not over priced

Lovely food and great service from Sohail and colleagues👍🏽😊

Fantastic food, lovely staff and relaxed atmosphere. Portion sizes were generous and very reasonably priced.

Shiya has been very cordial, polite and sweet in her demeanor towards us. She served the food with grace. The biriyani we ordered was great and really delectable.

My friend and I recently dined at this Indian restaurant on the Royal Mile, and it was an absolute delight! The food was bursting with authentic flavors, perfectly spiced, and beautifully presented. Each dish was fresh and delicious, showcasing the richness of Indian and UK cuisine. The staff were warm, attentive, and ensured we had everything we needed throughout the meal. When we mentioned that a dish was a bit spicier than expected, she kindly changed it without any hesitation. Their friendly service added to the wonderful atmosphere, making the experience even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a place in Royal Mile Edinburgh that serves amazing food with exceptional service, I highly recommend this restaurant. I’ll definitely be coming back!

After a long walk exploring Edinburgh, India Kitchen was the perfect restaurant to finish our day with. It was quiet inside and nice to relax after a long day and enjoy the warm, delicious food! The service was quick and the staff (Shiya) were welcoming and helpful. Brilliant food for any adventurer with plenty of options

Called in here whilst exploring Edinburgh. I don't think the lager was Kingfisher as it didn't taste right. The food was mediocre, reminded me of an curry you get from Tesco! It was edible and tasted ok but it's not what I would expect from an Indian restaurant. We wouldn't return.

Very good but rather small portion. The waitress Mounica was very attentive.

Well, our waitress Mounica was very helpful.

It was my last day in Edinburgh yesterday and during my whole visit, there was a problem with good Indian food all over. But I think I found a great restaurant. The food was good, the service was great, specially by the girl named Shiya. She assisted us very kindly and took great care of us during the course with smile on her face. Highly recommended.

Had a pleasant lunch in Indian Kitchen today. Highly recommended and was so happy to see the happy faces serving the tasty food especially Sneha❣️

Friendly welcome, patient with French tourists, varied menu. MOUNICA super nice.

This restaurant has a perfect waiter her name’s Rahul she is very kind and optimistic🥹❤️,also the service of the restaurant more than good🙏🏼.

I recently dined at this place, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with elegant decor that perfectly balanced modern aesthetics with traditional Indian charm,What truly set this place apart was the service.The food arrived promptly, and the portion sizes were generous.What made the place outstanding and was their staff,the one who served us was Sohail with a pleasing smile he welcomed us helped us decide the food with offering great recommendations based on our preferences. Overall 10/10 experience would definitely recommend friends and family ⭐️

Very friendly especially Mounica. And very good food with great variety.

Great welcome, lots of choice. Sneha very friendly.

I came here for the first time, and definitely not regretting. The food was absolutely amazing and I also had masala chai which was so ravishing. The waiting staff was friendly. Sneha and Mounica, they both seem to be courteous. Highly recommended.

Horrible horrible service. Super slow service and one of the waiters (girl in specs) who was serving us really looked like she was going through something because she was just very rude and irritable. We changed the number of breads mid order and she let out such a big sigh as if we had wasted her precious time. Management should really look into the behaviour of the staff as I can see multiple reviews below commenting on the service. Also, food is very okayish, almost bland even after mentioning it twice to make it spicy. We are here since a week and tried a few other Indian restaurants which are much much better. Very sad to have faced such an experience on our last day in Edinburgh.

We experienced this restaurant as a Rip Off as group, Only Menu board displayed just outside on High street was facinating, Tried different Dishes & drinks from Menu, Food was just a compromise to kill hunger, Quality & Quantity both were missing,, Unprofessional crafty bar staff, Portions were very small without REAL Indian Cooking Taste & speciality, NOT A RESTAURANT STYLE CLASS At All In such a Touristic place !?

Had a fantastic experience at India Kitchen! The food was rich in authentic flavors and perfectly prepared. A special thanks to Mr Sohail, who provided outstanding service—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable with recommendations. His warm hospitality made our visit even better. Highly recommend this place for a great Indian dining experience!

I visited the restaurant on a busy weekend night and I’m glad we made a reservation in advance. The food was exceptional. Despite the weekend rush, the staff was friendly and attentive. Staff Mounica and Sohail checked in regularly and even recommended some great dishes. The food, ambience and service was top-notch.

Every dish we ordered was bursting with flavour. The staff was welcoming and attentive with great service provided by Mounica. She was the best. Overall, this restaurant delivered an excellent dining experience Thank you Mounica and team.

I had an outstanding experience at India kitchen. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was welcoming and the service was impeccable. A special shoutout to our server, Sohail who was incredibly attentive and friendly. He made great recommendations and ensured we had everything we needed throughout our meal. His warm personality truly enhanced our dining experience. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place.

Good food, very nice ambience wherein images of our deities are maintained. Monica attended us and she was very courteous and polite. The food was amazing and provided a good taste of Indian cuisine in Scotland.

I ordered the chicken Biriyani, which was so delicious I thought I was in India. Love the food. Ambience is great. Neha kindly changed the songs upon request. Would definitely come back here.

Had a great dining experience! The food was good, and the service was excellent. Our server, Sneha, was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend

The food served here was amazing. Authentic Indian spicy. The two waitresses Sneha and Shiya were very kind and polite. Had a great experience. Very good atmosphere.

I am from Texas. In town and craving Indian food. This restaurant did not disappoint! Shiya was an excellent server!! She made my experience incredible. She recommended a dish I was not familiar with chicken achari. She helped me pair a wine and was very knowledgeable and friendly. The meal tasted wonderfully.

Found this restaurant when looking for somewhere for lunch. So glad we did. Excellent service and amazing food. Loved the Masala Chai.

The food was very nice. Although very tight with the dips portions for the poppadoms. Every Indian in the past I’ve been to there’s always some left over, I was scraping for it. There was a group of 3 of us, we were shown a nice lovely table. We made our order and then got told to ‘shift’ to another table which was closer to the door so colder. I wasn’t impressed with the customer service. It’s bad enough been asked to move tables but to be asked in a not so polite manner made my mood even worse. I came in happy looking forward to the Indian and left feeling very underwhelmed. Mainly down to the poor customer service skills.

Very good! Sneha attended to us very well!

⭐️⭐️curry at a💰💰💰💰💰price. I only post negative to protect other far-from-wealthy travelers like myself from getting ripped off. They can get away with those prices (for barely-meets-expectations food) because of their incredible location. Yeah, they have their lease to pay, but holy shirt, people: why give me six tiny cubes of chicken drowned in a whole tin of coconut milk??? And I know Tesco curry powder when I taste it — it clearly came from South Bridge, not Surat. Would *ten tiny chicken chunks have killed your profit margin? I think not. My wife — a courageous, well-travelled foodie — couldn’t choke down a veggie curry that should’ve come with a warning label; it was like chickpeas in battery acid. I’m tempted to commence a chargeback. Zero stars.

The food wa absolutely declicious. It had a cozy ambiance with soft Indian music playing in the background. The staff were attentive and Mounica was amazing.

The food was so amazing that I couldn’t even take picsss💕💕service 10/10 by Sneha & Shiya. True Indian Food. The spice level is just perfect. Haven’t eaten such spicy food since I have come to the UK.

Visited for dinner and it was a delightful experience. The service was top notch and quick service. Our server Mounica was friendly and was checking in regularly to ensure everything was perfect. Will definitely be coming back

They got very poor and very bad Services. I found hair in my curry and I asked to change a then she took and 15 minutes to bring out the next curry and and my Nan got cold until that, and after that I ordered biryani in menu it was mentioned that biryani will come with Raita , but she won’t given me Raita and later on when I asked for the seller or something with biryani so she gave me salad and for that she charged me £7 😡literally it’s ridiculous and when I ask her to take it out from the bill like how u can charge for the raita you mentioned in the menu that will provide biryani with Raita. It’s so ridiculous. I never visit again.

Very nice food with a good selection and very reasonable prices. Charming friendly staff

Wonderfull experience, authentic taste , very nice customer service by ujwal ,,, totally recommended 👍🏻

The food was excellent, and the staff was incredibly friendly. I highly recommend the starters; they were amazing. Sneha served us with a wonderful smile and took great care in accommodating our preferences.

Ujjwal is very nice staff very good hospitality

Decent tasty food, pleasant atmosphere, good service. Would recommend.

I would really recommend this place. The price is reasonable keeping in mind the location. Ujwala was very good at his service. I visited this place with my family and they loved the masala chai which was like proper indian chai. I would really recommend this place for a indian food.

The curry was okay, but nothing special. £7 for popadoms though? I’ve not been to many curry houses where they even charge for popadoms and dips and if they do they are usually pence.

The Tikka Masalah was excellent greate food and great service. We loved it

Sensationally delicious food. Chicken Tika Masala and Butter Chicken was outstanding. Garlic Nasn is one of the best I've ever eaten. Service - Sneha and Rahul served us exemplarily with a smile on their faces. I highly recommend it :)))

India Kitchen is a gem! I recently dined there and was thoroughly impressed by both the food and the service. The dishes were incredibly tasty, bursting with authentic flavors that transported me back to the streets of India. The staff were attentive and went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was exceptional. Highly recommend for anyone craving delicious Indian cuisine!"

Our server Ujjiwal was delightful, checking in regularly to ensure that everything was perfect throughout our meal.

The food was absolutely delicious, with rich flavors and perfect spice levels. But what truly made our visit special was the outstanding service from Ujjwal. She was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed.

Fantastic experience at Indian Kitchen Edinburgh! We tried the Palak Paneer, Garlic Naan, and Lachha Paratha – all were absolutely delicious and served piping hot. The drinks, Zombie Cocktail and Black Currant Martini, were refreshing and perfectly balanced. A special shout-out to our server Priyanshi for her friendly and attentive service. The food arrived impressively within 10 minutes of ordering, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!"

Really nice spocy salty lassi, the cheese naans are great, and the service very kind and considerate. We all enjoyed the food which can be as spicy as you want!!!

Great place to eat excellent Indian food. Great location in Edinburgh. Mounica is the perfect waitress, nice and understanding when some of our French palates were too sensitive to the spicy dishes. I recommend it!

Amazing understanding from the staff, asked me if i wanted to change my food without me having to ask since they noticed it was too spicy for me, changed it without complaints. Great food!

Speed and efficient service. The waitress are really kind. And the food is delicious but be careful it is really spicy.

Very good experience. Staff members were very kind and understanding.

The waitresses were very nice. The food was tasty and the masala chai tasted authentic.

Visited Edinburgh Castle and on the way back we stopped for some lunch, have to say it was one of the best Indians we have had, I had my 2 daughters with me & they had chicken korma on the kids menu and have to say not only was it delicious, the portion size was very generous. Shiya was our waitress and she was excellent. We will be back and would highly recommend.

Had a great experience here. I went with a few friends. Our server Shiya was very friendly and polite. Gave good recommendations when asked. She was sweet to talk to and even gave us some tips for tourist spots.

Great place for authentic Indian food in the heart of Edinburgh. Ordered vegetarian dishes which are clearly labelled in the menu . Shiya helped me in choosing the best from menu and the service is exemplary. Recommend to everyone who craves for typical North Indian food in Scotland

If you are looking for some Indian food then this a must visit place. Highly recommended. And the customer service is top notch. Thanks Shiya for the great service.

Our server Shiya was wonderful - very friendly and helpful. Food was great. My daughter (9) loved the chicken tikka masala.

Great food and atmosphere and service from Shiya

Amazing indian food and service. Thanks to Shiya!

The food her was delicious and quick to come out! We had great service from Shiya who was super helpful about what to order!!

I was thrilled to find such great Indian food in Edinburgh. I shared the tikka masala and butter chicken with a friend, both with rice and naan. Highly recommend!

Good food and great customers service

Food taste is very good and ambience is awesome!!

Food is so good and nice ambiance.

Dropped in for a quick tea break and ordered the masala chai. Ambiance and service was quite good.

Had a lovely time at india kitchen. Love the ambiance & staff & food.

I had a fantastic dining experience at India Kitchen. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. The food was absolutely delicious— fresh ingredients and full of flavor. I especially loved Panner Achari Tikka , which was cooked to perfection. The drinks were also amazing, complementing the meal perfectly. Overall, an exceptional experience! I highly recommend India Kitchen to anyone looking for great food, excellent service, and a wonderful ambence. I'll definitely be coming back!

Awesome place to sit-in for an Indian food in Edinburgh. Cheers to Ujjwal's service.
