Fantastic food and definitely recommended if you’re in the area. We went on a Sunday evening on the off chance and were very impressed. They don’t serve alcohol but you can get a carry out from the Tesco express just up the road and they don’t charge corkage. They will add 55p for “recycling” your bottle though ha. Garlic Naan a definite.

We love Indian food and Visit Kahani every time we visit Edinburgh. We've just returned from a two night stay and ate at Kahani's both evenings. The food, as usual, was amazing - beautifully cooked and really tasty. The meat has been cooked slowly and melts in your mouth. I had the Home Style chicken curry with potato and my husband had lamb karhi. The rice and naans were lovely too. The service was great as always. Joe was very helpful. He answered our questions and made recommendations. We look forward to visiting again next time we visit Edinburgh. Thank you again.

First time in this restaurant. There seemed to be a bit of a mix up as to what menu was available. However the staff were very good and quickly resolved the situation. The food was very nice and well presented . Our visit was in the afternoon so it was not too busy and had the advantage of a special menu. Overall very pleased and would go back. And the option of BYOB is also an attraction.

The entire meal felt rushed, the staff were rude, and when we were trying tp pay, the guy at reception was too busy arguing on the phone. Popadom + pickle tray was amazing, food went down from there. My wife's aubergine curry just tasted of salt, and if her garlic naan was any more oily, the USA would have invaded to claim it for themselves. My own meal made me running to the bathroom all night, which indian food has never done before... So yeah. If you don't care about any of that, and just want a curry & a beer give it a go. But if you're sober, go anywhere else.

Only Indian I've been to that charges for Papadoms and dips.! £18.95 for the Lamb Shank which was very dry, bland and only served with lettuce ?? ...which had seen better days. Soft drinks .....Soda Water & blackcurrant was £3.45 .... ridiculous price for a fizzy water . Def overrated. The Bayleaf in Bathgate is by far, more superior for tasty food , service and drinks.

My absolute lasting memory of my visit will be the deliously light Gulab Jamen which are handmade. It is worth going just for that! Dishes are delicious and great value for money, generous portions.

Have been coming back to Kahani’s for many years. The food is amazing and a great restaurant to eat and enjoy amazing Indian food with friends. The staff are very attentive and the restaurant has a welcoming ambience. When dining here remember to order at least one of their delicious garlic Nan breads to dip into your favourite curry.

The curries we had were very spicy and tasty (saag alo) and the service is friendly and fast. The naan bread was very fresh and well baked. You can bring your own bottle of wine or beer, since they don’t sell alcohol. You can decide on your own service tip (instead of a standard 10% added to the bill). Free tap water is served. Great place to eat!

Decent table layout. Noisy atmosphere with groups on byob overdose. Service sloppy not watching the tables. Soft drinks overpriced. Old fashioned Pakora was luke warm and bland. Chicken pakora was nice. Lettuce a few days old and wilting. Tikka masala tasteless. Lamb dish was under cooked but the sauce was nice. Rice fluffy, nan fresh but could gave been crispier. Overall a basic indian feast.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at kahani, and I must say it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The ambiance was warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxed evening out or a special celebration. The staff were incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, offering great suggestions from the menu and ensuring we had everything we needed. The food was truly the highlight fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I tried the biryani, and it was an absolute delight, bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. What really stood out was the attention to detail in both the dishes and the service. Whether you’re looking for a casual bite or a fine dining experience, kahani is a must visit. I can’t wait to return and try more of their amazing menu. Highly recommended!

This is one of the restaurants I visit in Edinburgh for the last 25 year. The food is simply at another level altogether and they make the best Dal Makhani in town!

Service was ok and the food was a bit below average. We ordered 2 lassis, fish kolliwada (appetizer) lamb biryani tandoori roti and chicken chilli South Indian style Birayani is supposed to be layered but this biryani was more like a pullao. The curry that it came with was bland. Tandoori roti was thin and chicken curry was just ok. Lassi didn’t taste that great either.

This review will be short and sweet The food was amazing. The depth of flavour in the dishes was just fantastic. All 4 of us that dined here were happily silent as we tucked into our food. My only issue was that we should've ordered more nan bread to soak up all that delicious sauce we had left over 😁 Food was served up quickly and was piping hot. This is an ideal place for a pre or post theatre bit of food. As its literally 2 mins down the road from The Playhouse. Can't recommend this place enough. And I'll be heading back as soon as I can. 👌

We ordered biryani, chicken masala, and Hyderabadi chicken, and the food was delicious. We ordered salty yogurt, and it was excellent and had a cumin flavor 😍 Overall worth a try

We were able to get the wine from the neighboring restaurant and enjoy it in Kahani, as the innkeeper probably doesn't sell alcohol in the restaurant because of his religious views. Hats off!! We would like to say a big thank you to the entire team at the restaurant. We will recommend you. Price-performance was awesome

I order lamb chop main got all lamb chop burnt it was tasteless can't even eat one piece of lambchop due to burnt Pieces are also not standard. Prices are very high compare to other I understand cost to recover but atleast should be worth paying but its not worth. Definatley this is my first and last order from this restaurant.
