Itihaas in Midlothian

Kebabs and naan, both lukewarm at best. I opted for no salad, but kebabs came in plastic tubs, surrounded by wet salad, liquid all over everything, including kebab meat. How ignorant, how disregardful, how disrespectful!

Dinner tasty as usual! Can’t fault it. Ordered for delivery at 6:30, arrived just before 6pm. Bit annoying as all of our guests weren’t here yet so it had to sit in the oven to keep warm.

Great service good lovely & hot

Food was delicious and I love how it all comes in a re-usable bag. Will use again

Fantastic food and the staff are always great. The best thing about this place is the consistency at which they do this. We genuinely have never had a bad or below par meal (or experience) and therefore cannot recommend Itihass highly enough!

Fantastic food and brilliant service. What a great way to spend a Friday evening. Tried various things on the menu and all delicious

Best Indian I've ever had, lovely staff. Daal and peshawari naan were highlights. Great veggie options. Lived up to the hype!

the delivery guy was very pleasant, the food was delicious and piping hot and it came in secure containers in a secure reusable bag

Lovely restaurant, with just the right balance of comfort and luxury. The food was delicious and the service was great. We had a very nice evening.

Beautiful food as always. The collection bag was fantastic as it kept the food hot for the journey home.

Excellent service, great food, amazing atmosphere, definitely recommended if you are in the Dalkeith area, it is just a great restaurant.

Excellent food, outstanding service, great atmosphere. The chicken jalfrezi was the best I’ve ever had. Will be coming again. Thankyou

absolutely brilliant, very tasty will definitely order again

Excellent portion size and very tasty

I was in today for lunch with my two friends, first class service ,food excellent and very tasty 😋 we will definitely call again to your restaurant 😋

The interesting menu with the artistic matt fonts didn't really translate into a delicious meal for me on this occasion. Korma was too sweet so I couldn't finish it along with the coconut rice which was also too sweet, perhaps my bad choice of combination? The food wasn't bad and the naan bread was fresh and warm and buttery and crispy in all the right places, but vegetables in the main dish were predictably lazy for Indian restaurants generally I find and had the flavour and texture of tinned vegetables, or not fresh. One of the potatoes wasn't cooked properly either. Not too long after getting stuck into the meal I was approached by the staff who seemed keen to take this dish off of me for some reason, which made me feel uneasy about the whole experience. It was taken away and brought back in a slightly larger dish that tasted almost exactly the same but slightly watered down - and not as good - because they gave me the wrong size of portion or something? I was then later presented with a complementary starter which was nice of them, but sadly the only edible part was the puri. Next time I won't be paying the full bill or any bill

Again, fabulous meal. See you soon

Lovely meal and amazing service

Fantastic karahi, mushroom rice is beautiful

Very disappointing meal! Korma curry sauce was watery and was overly sweet with no flavour, the rice was over cooked and watery. Not their usual standard.

ordered a korma it was really nice and the packaging it came in was really cool

Very disappointed. All of the " hot" food was cold. Not cheap for cold food. despite the charge for an insulated bag plus all the other charges they were a let down. Why? Because they dont care.

Fantastic takeaway this evening. Great flavour and the insulated bag was the icing on the cake. Highly recommend.

Ordered 2 meals for delivery. For £37 I would expect better quality. Chicken was not fresh very dry. And the butter chicken was more a Korma than a Korma

Lovely Indian food and friendly staff highly recommend

absolutely fantastic food and great service

It's a shame that such a good restaurant has such poor delivery service and then try to misdirect/lie about it when questioned. The food from Itihaas is absolutely incredible and delicious but their delivery service is awful. Several times we have ordered early (5pmish) for later in the evening and when the delivery time rolls around, nothing. A phonecall to the restaurant and a quick "Yes food is on the way" reply....wait another 20 minutes and nothing. Another phonecall and you're met with excuses that the driver can't find your house/is struggling on the roads/the app gives you the wrong time. There's not much worse than a business that isn't delivering and can't admit it. This will be the last time we use Itihaas for delivery as it's now clear that they can't uphold their end of the deal. You would hope that 2 hours is enough time for them to prepare and deliver an order on time but it's clear that they can't function as an effective business.

Absolutely raging. They forgot the put 2 tubs of mango churtney in the bag. Ruined my meal

Nice place, nice food and very good service Must come back very soon

Staff members were very helpful and we enjoyed our time there.

Ordered Ceylon. Not sure that was what arrived way too hot ( more than usual anywhere), and not much chicken in it. £5 delivery is too much when I’m paying £28 for one meal! And I’m never sure what the deal is with poppadoms. Used to order poppadoms and they would come with mango and onions and now they don’t.

Food was amazing and the portion sizes are huge!

Quite simply the most exquisite Indian cuisine and exemplary service, in immaculate surroundings with a relaxing atmosphere. Will most definitely be back. Busy on a Monday evening and I can absolutely see why.

Pretty good local takeaway option. Only gripes are the food was ready 15 min before the agreed collection time (though was still warm to be fair) and the chicken in both our dishes was a bit overcooked.

Very fast and efficient delivery. Main meal was excellent, unfortunately the bread and pakora were very dry.

Amazing food & the best packaging I’ve seen from a takeaway. Will definitely order again & would highly recommend.

Takeaway, can be nice ,had lots hiccups in past ,for price 2 orders over £117, We collected and waited so food not cold 4 min drive away,starters some old and some lukewarm?,just out kitchen too ? ,the buhna chichen perfect ,beef and lamb far to hot like a madras ? Same with the butter chichen?, rice pilau good ,the boiled rice kid nearly burned ,I tasted very very hot and the container, might opinion this was microwaved on high heat ,1 of the curries was the same the masala, korma ok bread ok ,packaging good ,this is last chance for us anymore thats us finished, and if the microwave has been used I would halt this

Excellent food and quality . We have been searching for a new takeaway after our local has let us down for the last time. This place is great and will be our new one from now on.

a fantastic meal as it always is, would always recommend as its always perfect

Great food, with a nice selection on the menu. Polite Staff with Great service, We Will go back and Would definitely recommend.

Garlic nan was ordered but plain nan was delivered. Bit disappointed.

Very friendly driver, food arrived on time and still hot. Excellent quality.

absolutely lovely, highly recommended

Asked for food to be delivered at 6pm and showed up at 5:30pm. Not complaining, but just lucky we were back in the house. Food was AMAZING as always! Perfect Christmas Eve meal with the family!

Great food great service as always

Awesome food, beautiful flavours.

We placed an order online and picked it up! 👍 Parking was a bit tricky, but we managed using Morrison's parking since we needed other groceries. The food quantity was good and it tasted too! 😋 chicken tikka Biryani and chicken poori were delicious. Might try again! The staff were welcoming. 😊

Food is amazing ! Great service

Really polite driver 10/10. Food was excellent as always! I like the new Bags and the way food is packed. Well done Itihaas! You remain my favourite restaurant to order from as such a amazing qulity and portions are huge too!

Use this restaurant frequently, usually for takeaways. Was looking forward our delivery tonight, but was totally disappointed with the food. Very poor pakora, chicken and haggis. Very poor paratha that was soggy and stodgy. My favourite, lamb madras, is usually excellent, but tonight it was poor, due to fatty, chewy meat. This restaurant is not cheap for take always, but tonight’s offering was a complete waste of money. Need to find a different Indian restaurant. Won’t be using again.

A serious gem of an Indian restaurant, unassumingly hidden in plain sight on Dalkeith high street! We live in the neighbourhood so regularly order curries for takeaway but it's really worth coming into the restaurant as well. The tandoori menu is to die for (and extremely cost effective), the naan delicious when oven fresh and the staff so kind and attentive.

Always lovely coming to this place. Excellent restaurant, great staff. A jewel in Dalkeith.

Delivery was good and food excellent

Fantastic food and excellent service

Lovely meal, really enjoyed it! Very attentive

As usual fabulous. So privileged to have this as our local Indian restaurant. Always outstanding. Ty

-1* found 2 prawns in. lamb bhuna so had to bin my meal. NOT HAPPY

Phenomenal curry ordered a speciality dish and was not disappointed. Service was impeccable but not over bearing. Dishes were delivered to the table promptly. Best curry I have had in a long time. All the best and thanks to the staff wonderfull night.

Absolutely an amazing meal, service superb can't fault anything

1st class service & food as always

Food is absolutely fantastic as always and service second to none.

Very speedy delivery but unfortunate the curries weren’t up to the usual quality, pretty watery and chicken more dry than usual

Absolutely perfect place food fantastic and staff extremely helpful and friendly

Arrived 4.45, waited 15 mins before anyone came near us, ordered starter, waited another hour before our main meal came. Numerous excuses, such as we cook your food fresh, then the order didn't go through, people who came in after us were served, paid and away before we were served our meal which was lukewarm . All in all a pretty miserable night for my wife's birthday ! Won't be back.

Poor quality, chips under cooked and curry not up to usual quality!

I specifically asked for 6pm as we would not be home till then. Award winning? No idea how. Food was pretty tasteless.

Not sure how early but i was beautifully surprised. Tasted delish as well!

The staff are most attentive and we were made very welcome. It's very clean and the food is amazing.

Superb! Wonderful flavours, wonderful service - a very special evening. We'll certainly return next time we're up in Scotland 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Did not deliver my bottle of coke, phoned to ask and told they would deliver it in 15 minutes, no apology and an hour later im still waiting for my coke.

Fantastic food and service as always.

Another great night at the Itihaas, food and service as expected. 👍

Lunch was bland. Curry was mainly tomato segments and onion.Only 4 customers in restaurant and far too many staff. Felt intimidating. We will not be back

Never disappoint with this restaurant food was still warm and very tasty

Itihaas is always incredible, my fave. This was actually the best one I've had. Superb.

Bloody good feed. Shit hot curry, and bloody great staff. Next time I’m 24hr away from home I’ll be hitting this joint up.

Unreal food and service, especially by Muskan who went above and beyond!!! Highly recommend!

We are visiting the area for the first time and Itihaas was suggested to us by another guest at our hotel. The food was exceptional as was the service. Staff was very attentive, helpful and very friendly. Highly recommend!

excellent food as always. can't fault it in any way. haggis pakora is always a favourite of mine 👌🏼

Lovely tasty food and great service as always. Nice ambiance too. Best Indian restaurant around if not the best in the Lothians.

First visit and it won’t be long before we are back. Fabulous!!!

worst Indian I've ever had. currently eating cheese and crackers. waste off £55 . wish I could upload pics to show you. £45 paid through app and £10 on delivery for a sauce . vegetarian starter like eating black mush and salt. don't go to this shop.

Best Indian takeaway out there!

Great curry great delivery thank you

Wonderful food with a very wide range of vegetarian options and excellent service - definitely going back !

Lovely meal and very knowledgeable and attentive staff sitting hear stuffed 👏

Great food and service. Great selection of veggie mains too!
