Masti Indian Street Food Restaurant in Edinburgh, City of

Food excellent and could not fault the service 👌

I ordered a takeaway through deliveroo, and when it didn’t arrive (because the driver couldn’t find my address and “left” it somewhere else) I went to the Masti and they swiftly replaced my delivery and gave me a seat at a table and a drink whilst I waited. This was a busy Saturday night. Their food is ALWAYS delicious, and I’ve eaten in the restaurant and had take away and it’s always great quality. The manager was very polite, understanding and courteous. I will continue to use the Masti for their wonderful food: I will however order straight from them and avoid deliveroo from now on.

great service, we only had 30 minutes to eat, and got out with a full belly and a lovely night.

Great service and if possible even better food.

Best Indian food I have ever eaten.

Easily ordered and paid online went and picked up as 20% off. Had chicken Madras and attempted rice with chicken pakora. Food cooked and tasted great. No complaints at all. Would recommend and go back.

Had the pleasure of dining at the Morningside branch for a celebration lunch. Myself and my party were all extremely delighted at such a lovely experience. Food was delicious and cooked fresh, hot and very tasty. The restaurant itself small and intimate which was lovely. We were able to enjoy a conversation without back ground noise being to loud. The staff were exceptional especially our waiter who could not do enough for us and even opened the door for us when we left. Polite and professional. We will definitely be returning! Lastly the cost of the lunch menu and quality of food was 💯 Overall simply delightful 😊🤩

Fantastic food and top quality service. Definitely will be back

Best Indian Tapas, portions larger than expected and the service was perfect. I had the dish of the day, lamb on the bone and the meat was so tender and the flavour of the sauce was so good.

Amazing curries, great all round food - in restaurant and takeaway. One of the best curries in Edinburgh - love it

Disappointing not staying open later during Edinburgh fringe They have shows on the whole of August in the Churchill theatre which finish about 9:30 and kitchen closes at 9:45 missed opportunity!

Always a pleasure to eat at Masti. The food is delicious and the service first rate. My first choice of Indian restaurants.

Best food and service in the town. The staff here was polite and attentive.

The restaurant is very clean and modern. Staff are really pleasant and polite. They take great care ensuring you are enjoying the food they serve. We came here on an itison voucher and it worked perfectly. We had popadoms with the pickle tray followed by 4 starters; veg pakora, onion banjo, chicken pakora and fish pakora. The mains were lamb curry, lamb Rogan Josh, Aloo gobi. This came with two plain nans and two pilau rice. For desert we had two Gulab jamun. To drink we brought our own wine and water was supplied. Total cost of meal using the it is on voucher was £2.81 plus our tip. Our voucher which cost £35 allowed us to spend £70 on food. Great deal, great food. The 4 stars for atmosphere was because the restaurant was empty when we first went in 5pm but when we left it was full 6:30 pm

I like paneer kadhai, mango lassi, butter garlic naan of masti. Frequently ordering food.

The food is really good and not pricey. It's BYOB but also serves kingfisher beer on tap.

Really enjoyed our first time to Masti. Food was nice and hot and packed with flavour. Great service, would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a good valued meal.

One of the loveliest dinners out I've had in a while! Food was absolutely delicious (Indian tapas is such a good idea!) and the service was wonderful. It was my sister's birthday so I'd brought a sparkler for them to pop in her dessert and, not only did they do this, they also played "Happy birthday" over the speakers. Will definitely be back soon and will recommend to others. Clearly the owners and the staff have put a lot of thought and effort into creating a great dining experience :)

We ordered chicken on the bone, fish curry, roti and biryani. All of the dishes were absolutely delicious. Moreover, the quantity gave me a surprise for the prices. I am amazed at the quality and quantity of this restaurant. I would totally recommend this place for authentic Indian food that tastes like home and has actual hot and spicy food. This is easily the top three places in Edinburgh to eat Indian food.

The food was nice but the staff rushed us from the moment we sat down. We were asked what we wanted to drink before I had even had a chance to take off my jacket. We booked a table for 8:30 pm, a whole 1.5 hours before closing time and there was no reason to hound us the way they did. It was unpleasant, and I would not go back.

Guys were brilliant wee finishing touch way cake will be back 😋

Tasty korma and butter chicken, naans were lovely also.

This is a great Indian tapas place in Morningside. We had a lovely chicken tikka ,prawn tandoori to start .Main we shared a northern garlic chicken with a roti and steamed rice all dishes fresh tasty and hot. All in £28 which is great value for money. They do have a licence but let you bring your own which I think is great . Eating out is now a luxury they encourage you to dine out with this option I would highly recommend

Had a nice lunch here. Tasty and decent value, fast service.

We are normally here once a month Ahmed and his team always make sure you enjoy everything they have on offer , Portion size is just perfect we find and quality of the food is 100%

First time there would deffo go back

Amazing food and great service! :)

This restaurant reminds me of home and remarks authentic Indian cuisine. Would definitely recommend for lunch/ dinner. The staff here are extremely welcoming and the environment is very cosy.

This place is fantastic. The second you walk in, it's warm, quiet and posh. A bit of background music makes a really nice atmosphere. You don't have to come here on a date but it's the perfect place for one. The waiters are super friendly and look really smart. The food was absolutely fantastic and came quick. I tried the strawberry daiquiri and it was phenomenal. Good size portions, full tummy and well happy.

Very fast delivery. Tasty food and good portions. The Onion Bhajis were a bit soggy and not as crispy as we like

We had the tapas dishes can’t fault it full of flavour

Amazing food - had the lamb rogan josh w/ rice and samosas. All excellent. Highly recommend.

Excellent meal. Lovely food, generous portions and attentive staff. Will be back!

The food is Indian tapa style small bowls so we ordered a dish each, mine was North Indian Garlic Chicken Lee shared a Butter Chicken. Usual popadoms, pickles etc. with a Garlic Nan. Food was really nice and hot, friendly staff from the manager to our servers. It can be a little noisy. Overall nice place, nice food, nice staff.

Masti gave me a great experience the food is delicious and the service was excellent the people at masti are very friendly and even remembered me when I went back 5 stars

Brilliant meal! Full of flavour, lovely hot plates and brilliant service. Thanks for a lovely evening.

Really had a great lunch today.I am from Bangladesh and staying in England and looking for a good Indian restaurant and finally got it.Had a lamb achari just a amazing test .Highly recommended for asian traditional food.service was so good. Hope will visit again. Thanks a lot.

Excellent value set lunch menu. Very good service by lone waiter.

Ordered for collection and the food was horrible. Frozen cubed vegetables in the vegetable korma and rogan josh that looked like baby food. Never been to an Indian with sweetcorn in the curry! The korma didn’t taste in the slightest bit like a korma and the rogan josh had obviously been given wrong as it was nothing like a rogan josh and had paneer in it. The garlic naan was rock solid and just had green garlic butter spread over it. The rice was the only thing that was edible. Go somewhere else as it’s not cheap either!

I was picking up takeaway on a sunday night. Inside the restuarant was totally full. Food was absolutely delicious. Only issue was Naan was a bit tough after travelling homevabout 8bmons. Highly recommended

Had lunch with my friend and it was lovely will definitely come back with my partner and we will bring our own wine which is nice had there wine with my friend and was lovely

Great curries & fab service, save space for the kulfi 😎

Really good food. Great value and friendly welcoming service. Will definitely be back!!

Fantastic food great atmosphere always made welcome highly recommended

Excellent food and service, thank you!

We had a great experience at Masti today. It was our first time here. We were very pleased with the food. Even more pleased with the service that went above and beyond. Very friendly and really seemed to care. We will be back!

Super food. Lovely polite staff without being over attentive. Certainly will be back and the advantage of BYOB with no corkage charge.

Great food and very delicious but the quantity for the price needs to be better. Otherwise highly recommended.

Lovely variety of flavours and very tasty.

Great food with a varied menu in a clean, well situated with reasonable prices

Great food and nice atmosphere.

Good selection of dishes at reasonable price, friendly staff but it can be quite noisy.

My partner and I were travelling through Edinburgh and wandered in to Masti, the manager was incredibly accommodating to us and all the other customers on the restaurant, as well as all the other staff. The food was fantastic with the fish pakora and onion Bhaji followed by the chicken Khadi. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for quality Indian

We really liked the taste of food. They have got real indian flavour in their cuisines. And the quantity of side dish is also quite sufficient as compared to most other restaurants. Recommended: Dal Makhni, Hot Chocolate

Really nice evening at Masti, very friendly atmosphere and delicious food. They are BYOB and also have a license, there’s a nice bottle shop down the street that you can visit on the way with a fun assortment of beers and wine too! Just finishing up the leftovers for lunch and they’re delicious the next day as well! Will definitely return.

Excellent food, experience and the team which looked after us. We had special requests keeping in mind our 5 year old - they were spot on, empathetic and mindful of what they served! Thank you guys. By far the best Indian meal in UK (the garlic naan could give a run for their money to any Indian authentic restaurant and can definitely teach the QSR option the restaurants otherwise use)!

Was very quiet when we were there, though that was very early. The staff were all brilliant though and very cheerful and attentive. The food was great, with generous portions and not just small plates that we were expecting. It's also BYOB, with no corkage charge, which is great considering they do their own wine and beer. Can definitely recommend 👍

Excellent food already booked a return visit.

All good 👌but expected some more vegetarian options. This is my favourite place for dinner. If you want to eat the best and fresh handmade roti, this restaurant is best in the city of Edinburgh.

Amazing lunch deal for great price

Best chaat! Their curry was fresh and delicious. It’s a must try place

Best Indian restaurant in town! We have been here more than 5 times now and every single day we enjoyed it endlessly. They serve the best Butter Chicken we have ever eaten, it's definitely a must try

Amazing food, great value and perfect service.

Wonderful evening, staff friendly, efficient & helpful. Love the idea of ‘tapas’ indian dishes. Each one full of flavour. Great recommendations. Lovely atmosphere. Everyone in the group said their chosen dishes were fabulous. Can’t recommend this place highly enough.

Oh my god very very very bad worse attitude by the staff supervisor I think his designation. Talks to customer with back body facing to us needs money no respect to customer. Never go here please let them learn first how to treat people basic knowledge needed. Go for other Indian restaurants in city centre not these places.

An outstanding meal. 4 of us had different meals and everyone said it was the best tasting Indian they'd ever had. Highly recommend eating here.

Amazing!! Ordered chilli chicken starter, tandoori prawns (huge) chicken madras, jalfrezi and goan fish curry, every single dish was fresh and tasty plus staff are friendly and welcoming! Thanks

Exceptional food and staff. Fresh food and awesome taste. Highly recommended for everyone

Hidden gem great value lunch menu qnd the service was unreal !

Great experience. The manager was very attentive. Great food.

The staff kept staring at us while we were having food, made us really uncomfortable.

Update: I finally had the chance to dine in. I can say my original review holds. If anything, it's probably my favourite Indian this side of Edinburgh. A really nice tasty Indian restaurant. We ordered a range of classics such as chicken tikka masala and chicken korma, and they were very tasty. The delivery was on time and food was well packaged. The portion sizes were good too, enough to fill us up. I'm giving 5 stars because they deserve it and I couldn't find any problems with our evening delivery. For an easy, comfortable Indian takeaway, I'd recommend this place.

Was looking for some Indian comfort food and Masti in Morningside did not disappoint. Their servers were incredibly attentive and service was much faster than I'd expected. I tried popadum with the picked relishes for an appetizer. The yogurt and mango sauce perfectly complimented the heat from the spicy pickled veg. For main I went very basic and tried the chicken Tikka Masada with pashwari naan and pilau rice. The sauce was rich and creamy. The pashwari was packed with coconut, very pleased. Finally, splurged on a vanilla milkshake and it made me a giddy as a child. Can't wait to go back!

Interesting idea spoiled by lack of differentiation in sauces and missing fresh vegetables

We had a function a Masti (a wake). Ahmed couldn't have been more helpful. Really good food and the staff were excellent, for what was probably a slightly different experience for them! I'd highly recommend them for your usual lunch or dinner, or for any functions you might have. Thanks Ahmed and your team

Delicious food, just the right amount of friendly service, cosy little BYOB restaurant. Highly recommended 👍

Absolutely delicious, well priced food for sharing. Also BYOB!

Christmas dinner. Good choice, with very tasty food. Fortunately, we share, because she chose the starter I was going to have & I had something else. Nothing wrong with mine, but her Chicken65 was better!! Very good service. Other choices not listed here

Really good food. As a group of 6 we ordered every veggie main dish and that was perfect for the big appetites… and still some delicious leftovers!

Fabulous takeaway - recommended. Must visit in person.

Excellent service, super food in terms of price and quality. Lunch package: 3 items for £8.5.

Amazing food, amazing customer service! The owner is very passionate about his business and that really reflects in the food and service. Best Indian food I've had in awhile!

Excellent tapas size dishes, particularly the Goa fish curry, and their biryani. Licenced but also corkage free BYOB. Super value lunches just now, £8.50 for 3 courses.

Very frustrating, rushed through a very average meal at 2100 on a Friday night

Food was really nice, the staff were accommodating and all round really good 👍

Un indiano ad Edimburgo non è comune, ma quando trovi quello giusto non puoi che essere felice. 🏠 LOCALE | classico indiano moderno, non saprei come definirlo. Curato, ma senza tanti dettagli tipici. 🚶‍♂ PERSONALE | ci ha seguito il titolare, moto in gamba anche se si fa fatica a dialogare con lui essendo indiano DOC. Però in gamba! 👨‍🍳 CUCINA | Buonissimo, piatti tipici preparati con cura. Sapori veri 💶 CONTO | In 2 abbiamo pagato poco più di 30 sterline. Scontrino in allegato

Absolutely wonderful service and staff, welcoming atmosphere. Food was absolutely delicious, thoroughly recccomend the vegetable pakora! Very affordable for the quality. Will definitely be back :))

Fabulous food, fabulous service! We'll be back

Very nice food and good service! Naan is delicious!

Excellent service, clean and modern, excellent food

Amazing food and service recommend the masti special fish we love Khadm.

I was staying at a nearby hotel and went here for an early dinner. It was the best Indian food I ever had. I had the Tandoori lamb chops starter, chicken tikka masala and garlic naan.

Servings are big. Staff are friendly.

El sitio no puede ser mejor. Mejor por muchos motivos: la comida es exquisita en sabor, está bien cocinada y es de calidad, el trato de los camareros es impecable y la música y el ambiente es acogedor. Tengo la suerte de tener el restaurante frente a mi hotel y no como en otro lado 🙂

There were problems with Just Eat delivery but restaurant redid the order and delivered themselves - worth the wait as food was delicious 😎

Said it is Halal, but no sign of Halal. Thank you, hope you put halal signage at your restaurant.

Absolutely delightful staff & the best service we have ever received in our 6 years in Edinburgh! Food is absolutely delicious and the portions are generous enough that we'll be eating the leftovers for dinner again tonight! Really enjoyed our evening and will be going back again soon! X

Great find and good fantastic. The owner was very helpful when ordering dishes. Would definitely recommend

Absolutely amazing Indian, highly recommend

Very good and tasteful restaurant. Food is delicious. Friendly personal that is very helpful. Almost too much. Not very cheap, but quality and prizes are in balance.
