Namaste Kathmandu in Edinburgh, City of

Heb hier gegeten, had de dumplings en de chicken tikka masala. Heb zelfs advies gekregen van de bediening. Iedereen was aardig en behulpzaam. Heb heerlijk gegeten en de bediening was snel.

Very good, plus they hand you a free bottle of tap water

Very nice portions served, everything is delicious and the staff is very friendly.

Great service and food. They were very accommodating, even after we walked in unannounced after seeing their delicious menu. Great restaurant and we would recommend to anyone who loves Indian/nepali!!

The waitress was lovely and the food was great! Good portions and quite healthy as well. Decent lunch deals here.

Sooo lovely! Me and my boyfriend enjoyed our starters and mains. We had Nepalese starters Vegetable 'Momo' which are dumplings. We both had a mix of steamed and fried ones and they were tasty. The curries were lovely and spicy, helped us being all warm and cosy. And it's really good that this place has plenty of vegetarian dish choices as well.😃

Loved the food, excellent service. Definitely recommend!

Waitress on service Wednesday was so polite and looks professional but doesn’t full fill our cravings

Visit for a birthday treat, party of four adults. Staff pleasant and helpful. All food choices very tasty and hot. Would definitely visit again when next in Edinburgh.

A must visit restaurant. We had a chicken thali and one of the lunch specials chicken curry + rice. The server was very helpful with great recommendations! Prices are affordable and worth it. Definitely recommend lunch here. The setting and decor reminds me of India. Food was of great quality and quantity.

Great food. It was super crowded, so we were seated in the basement. Even so the waiters never kept us waiting.

Was very disappointed with the staff food was fine but the service was terrible I was having my food they didn’t asked me and just gave me bill they don’t know the manner and how to deal with the customers.

Some of the best Nepalese food you’ll eat outside of Nepal. Can’t recommend it enough. Superb.

Food tasted pretty decent. Nothing fancy but the place has a certain warmth to it because of the friendly and courteous staff.

Went here for Christmas dinner as not many restaurants in Edinburgh were available. The staff were courteous and friendly. The service could have been a touch quicker. The food portions are generous. Overall a good night out

My visit to Namaste Kathmandu was truly delightful. Keshu, the Nepalese girl managing the restaurant, exuded warmth and hospitality. Her polite and attentive service enhanced the overall experience. The food was not only delicious but also a testament to the culinary excellence at Namaste Kathmandu. The inviting atmosphere and Keshu's commitment to customer satisfaction make this restaurant a must-visit for those craving an authentic Nepalese dining experience.

Fantastic thali and momos! Staff was very friendly and welcoming, took me right back to being in Nepal 🇳🇵

Good food at a reasonable price. Of course, I found the beer expensive (a pint of Cobra for €6.5). The bread is great. The correct service and location. The photo is of a Mutton Thali, which I found a bit bland. Those in the group who ordered them said that the dumplings were very good (steamed, not fried). I had never been to a Nepali and I liked it

Poor food quality and unprofessional service!!

Food was top notch however one of the waiting staff member was not professional.

Authentic indian food taste... well service by the staff

Very good food, will recomend Momo for sure

Only place in entire UK mentioned MOMO on menu..privileged to be a part of it

Allez y les yeux fermés ! Nous nous sommes arrêtés dans ce restaurant après une visite du château d'Édimbourg et nous n'avons pas regretté ! La cuisine est pleine de saveurs, le personnel aux petits soins et très accueillants le tout dans un endroit tout a fait agréable. Nous nous sommes régalés !

A cozy place that serves Indian and Nepali food. The staff are dull and non responsive. Some food items are priced high like a roti for 4 GBP

The food was delicious and the portion was quite generous. Naan bread was very soft and the curries were pretty good too. Would strongly recommend their Thali.

The menu was good especially the variety of momos. Anjou organised the table for a large group (and our black Labrador) and they were all very welcoming.

We ordered steamed Momo, Kathmandu beer, khukura ko sekuwa and more which came on total of £52.69. Momo came without any sauce and as a Nepali I know Momo always come with dipping sauce, ordered Kathmandu beer but received Gurkha beer instead and sekuwa was packed and came with two big chuck meat which was undercooked inside. Had to throw half of the ordered meal. Very disappointed with this, I don’t know whether it’s by mistake but they should at least call back if it was mistaken. Never will I ever go back to this restaurant and I shall never recommend this to anyone. Please go somewhere else for meal if you don’t want to waste money :(

The food here is amazing. Everything was perfect. Very kind staff!

I could not fault this restaurant! As soon as I arrived, I was greeted and welcomed into the restaurant by an incredibly polite and hospitable waitress. Immediately, I was brought a fresh pitcher of water and a glass before even asking for this, and this was very well appreciated as I'd been travelling all day! The menu was comprehensive, and so I elected to initially only order a starter before I decided exactly what I fancied. The bean soup was amazing, and I was so glad that I had it! It was helpful that the waitress explicitly asked about spice levels as my tolerance is very good, so the dish really hit the spot! I asked for some specific dishes that I would have at home, and the team were more than accommodating and most happy to make these -- in fact, I had the best peshwari naan I've had in a very long time there! The menu had an excellent array of both vegetarian and other dishes, though I elected to have a vegetarian meal and was not disappointed! Everything came freshly prepared, spiced to my liking, and *gorgeously* presented. I think the portion sizes were quite generous, too. The bathrooms were spotless. After my meal I made a point in thanking the staff -- it was truly a fantastic meal! The owner's family were very lovely and conversational, and I was so glad to have found their wonderful gem in Edinburgh! Next time I visit the city, I am sure to return! Thank you so so much for a fabulous experience!

Customer service is best. Food is Good. Price is little bit high.

One of the best Nepalese Indian restaurants in the heart of Edinburgh near Edinburgh Museum. Variety of vegetarian options available with delicious taste and quality. Very humble and polite staff.

We called in early on a Saturday afternoon. The welcome could have been friendlier but we ordered and we’re looking forward to our food. All in all the food was very average quality indeed. My chicken curry didn’t have a huge amount of chicken in it though it was ok. My wife’s Lamb dish was mostly bone and inedible gristle with barely 4 mouthfuls of actually edible meat. It was pointed out to the waitress but it seemed to fall on deaf ears. I really wouldn’t visit again

We enjoyed a delicious lunch here. The chicken biryani, korma and samosas were delicious.

Service was absolutely fine and setting nice. Starter of chicken pakora was a bit crispy and the chicken tikka was two bits and fairly tasteless. Main course. Chicken madras which was very bland, not spicy and could have came out a jar. Other main a Rogan Josh was better.. I certainly wouldn't be rushing back as it wasn't cheap.

I had the best Samosa Chaat. Veg momos were good too. Then on the same day I had dinner and enjoyed that as well. Glad I stopped by. Highly recommended place if you want to taste Indian food with food quality at a reasonable price.❤️❤️

Great food, good service and clean. Perfect date spot or for a meal with friends. Highly recommend!

Restaurant sympathique mais le rapport quantité/prix n’y est pas. Les portions sont trop petites compte tenu du prix; les plats sont servis sans accompagnement (ni naan, ni riz…). Personnel aimable, service un peu long. La cuisine reste bonne mais le curry est assez sucré. Good restaurant but the disges are small and served without any sides; look expensive for what ut is but cooking is good (curry is very sweet) and the staff is very nice although it is a bit long to be served.

Sehr freundlicher Service. Sas Lunch-Menu auf der Platte mit verschiedenen kleinen Portionen kann ich nur empfehlen.

We had a great meal it was so delicious and thank you Anju for recommendation, as well as lots of options for vegan and vegetarian.

Food is a bit sweet and portions were small

Very good lunch with excellent service. Our table was serviced by Anju who is very kind and helpful.

Mid evening meal, busy but not excessively. Service very polite and flat breads very good. However on paying remium rate for an indian trestaurant the main point is to recive a delicious curry, which this was not. I do not rush to criticise but the curry tasted like a corner-shop curry sauce jar. Many meals gain approval here, which is good, but some do not as is seen on reviews. Wrong meal, wrong night in our case, no magic factor.

Amazing food and pretty fast service! We ate it all so fast! Only complaint was that the music was some 60 second-ish track that kept repeating itself the entire 45mins we were there and it got quite annoying.

Delicious chicken tikka masala!!

1h15 pour être servis Naan avec poudre d'ail... Samosas Ok Les lentilles végé correctes et le plat à base d'épinards trop liquide... Nous aurions pu le boire... Ah j'oubliais le riz est en supplément $$$ .. Bref, nous avons réservé sur base des avis; ce fut une erreur

The staff were friendly amd helpful. The food was okay , I ordered a chicken curry in hot spice level but they brought out a mild curry, they had no problem switching it , but the service was very slow and when we asked for more roti our food went cold waiting for it .

Me and my girlfriend went in here for lunch. It was fairly quiet and we wanted something small to share. So we went for the Momo chicken starter and a chicken curry to share. The food took a long time to come out and it was fairly mediocre. The staff were pleasant but the atmosphere was kinda of depressing and the only light I could see was from the window. It is not that cheap either. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Just go to a different restaurants, there is plenty of other places.

We had booked a table for 6 people and, despite the restaurant being very busy, we only had to wait a few minutes to be shown to our table. The service was excellent and we were served promptly for starters, mains and drinks. We ordered a variety of starters and mains and everyone was delighted with all of the food we were served. Finally, the place had a great, buzzing atmosphere and the prices were very reasonable. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough.

Late night dining after an event at the fringe. The service was good and the food was not bad but nothing exceptional. There are better Indian restaurants in Edinburgh. The worst part was that we were charged £1.50 for a very small onion! That did it for me. Not on my list of restaurants to go back to.

A lovely restaurant with great service and excellent food. Spoilt for choice. One tiny suggestion. A little more sauce with the satay starter please. Would have lifted it from very good to superb.

Unplanned visit to restaurant while attending the fringe. Although no reservation made every effort to fit us in with different options given. Restaurant was busy but service was attentive and the food excellent

We were made so welcome by the lovely staff. We wanted to eat quickly. We had a fantastic meal and were really well looked after. Pickles were amazing and our Nepalese main courses delicious. Thank you!

Highly recommend this place for Indian. We ordered Paneer Makhni and Chilli garlic chicken, both were great! Their tandoori roti and paratha are made from whole wheat flour and are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, exactly how it is made in India.

Lovely food amazing taste and good portions!

Das Essen ist lecker aber für den Preis sind die Portionen viel zu klein. Wer grossen Hunger hat, muß eine Vorspeise dazu nehmen.

Such a good place with such nice staffs. All the staffs were very humble and were really welcoming. We had been to other restaurants as well but this one was top notch! Food was great and we did get what we exactly wanted but the most satisfying part was the humbleness of the staff. Great place to be when you are here!

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was very tasty and everyone enjoyed what they had ordered. There were 17 of us and no complaints from anyone!!

Snabb service. Ganska rikliga portioner. Naanbrödet är förföriskt gott. Vi valde medelkryddat men det kunde dock vara lite mer hetta.

We visited Namaste Kathmandu at the request of a travel recommendation on Instagram. Absolutely loved it ❤️ Food was authentic and could enjoy the true flavours of every single dish served. Will definitely recommend to anyone travelling to Edinburgh, UK. Appreciated the great staff and perfect atmosphere, it certainly set the tone for the restaurant. Nepalese and Indian cuisine, under one roof, at its best.

The food was utterly delicious. And they still seated us even though we were half an hour early. Will definitely go back.

I loved the place and food, Ordered Veg and Chicken Thali ,it was awesome...If ever I come to Edinburgh in future or recommend someone ,it is definitely going to be this.

The staff working here are very nice and friendly and the service is quick. The food is average, it’s good quality but taste wise it’s just okay

Very nice food, for a good price. Good service by nice waitress, Kissu.

We ordered takeaway last night. Service was fairly quick but curries were really bland. Rice boiled and a tad soggy, not steamed. Not sure how this place has so many good reviews. For the meat dishes we only got 3 very small pieces of meat and the rest was sauce. Naans were OK. If you're familiar with good Indian cooking, you'll be disappointed.

Fantastic Nepalese & Indian cuisine. Lovely dumplings, chutneys, lamb curry. Staff delightful & fast!! Highly recommend.

Lovely friendly people, the food was very nice and tasty the portion sizes were just right. Would recommend and will come back again.

Amazing food. Ate Thali and momo here, was very satisfying.

I went only for Momos here and was not disappointed at all. Lovely and authentic meal. :)

Sympathische Bedienung und ausgezeichnetes Essen.

Having come from India for a vacation we were quite excited about trying the Nepalese Thali this afternoon for lunch just for a change to go back to our local palette!!! We ordered two Vegetarian Thalis , a portion of Vegetarian steamed Momos, a tandoori...

Me toco un agradable ambiente, la comoda es deliciosa y la atención unica.

Looking forward for more typical Nepali taste... Felt like it's kind a Indian mixed taste😊

Deliciosa comida India, a un precio muy razonable

Nous y avons atterri par hasard en y passant devant et bon choix. Les repas copieux et bons. Rien à redire.

Utterly disgusting, this was the worst Indian food I have ever eaten. The daal makhani was like dish-water - completely tasteless and watery. for the sum of £9.95!!! The pakora was even worse and the sparse chicken in the chicken tikka massala was indelible. A...

Mediocre food, at least portions are good size. Battered fried stuff was soggy, curry was only okay. Not what I expected of an Indian style restaurant in the UK

Really nice restaurant. Good food with great taste 😋

Decent restaurant. Satisfied 👍 Staff were very attentive

Great Nepalese food, not spicy.

Food was not expected, which I thought. Low quality in nepalese dish.

This was amazing it was the best Indian and it was very traditional,if you want Indian go here!

Waited an hour for average food.

Great lunchtime Thalis - vegetarian, chicken, seafood or meat, costing around $10-$12 - the cheapest meal we have found in the Old Town. Good was tasty, service was good

Very tasty food, attentive service

Really a great restaurant to visit. I enjoyed the foods specially the Tandoori Chicken 🍗

Tolles Essen,reichlich und schmackhaft.Sehr zu empfehlen.

Amazing dinner!! I loved having so much variety. Cash only so come prepared

I had a very delicious lunch here. Big portion, tasty, nice waitress, inexpensive - could not have been better!

Great location, right beside the bus stop. Perfect if you're in the mood for Indian food which is not too spicy and a place which has a lot of options. Fantastic service as well

Really poor. Ungenerous dishes. Tasteless. Biryani was just a mound of rice with very small amount of sauce. Vindaloo mild. Avoid. Used to be great restaurant.

Decent, mid ranged Indian cuisine. If you are desi then you'd find the curries a tad bland. But nothing you can't fix with adding some salt

Really nice place with delicious, homely food - wonderful staff, Anju particularly was gracious, polite and made sure we had everything we needed, making our experience even more memorable! If you're looking for hearty meals worth every penny, please visit!

Just returned from a wonderful experience at this restaurant! We started with fabulous cocktails - a Himalayan Sunrise and a Kamasutra. Then followed delicious food - a Nepali lamb dish (Kashi ko Masu), Tilapia fish special (Kathmandu ko fish methi), Kashmiri naan & pilau rice....

Wow wow wow. James Acaster was not wrong. This place was awesome. The folded papads a revelation!

Very disappointed with the food ,we ordered talka dal for my vegetarian wife what we got was Mung Dal, Nan bread was very oily, Papdoms had no dip.

A beautiful discovery for us was this small but neat restaurant in Edinburgh. Close to Scotland Museum on the main road. The food was really tasty and well served by Anju. We could talk to her for a few minutes and found her to be friendly. Nice place for food and to relaxing.

Un service au top ! On m'a très bien accueillis ! Effectivement la formule épicée est forte comme prévu, mieux vaut ne pas trop en faire ! Le massala et les naans... je recommande !

Very nice place to have dinner. I’ve had the medium chicken tandoori and it was lovely.

Visited here while visiting Edinburgh with family for the day. We did some research before we set off and this restaurant ticked all the boxes. We started with poppadoms and pickle tray, which were fresh and tasty. My wife and kids dont like really spicy food, and they had butter chicken and pulao rice. They mentioned it was a bit spicy, but all the plates were empty at the end. I had vegetable byriani, and it was very, very good. We all shared a couple of cheese naans too, and they were great. Very much recommend here.
