Pataka in Edinburgh, City of

We had a takeaway in Nov, 24. Cost us £63. It was awful. Sorry, but that is the truth. The Mangsho Roti at £16.95 was inedible. Very bitter and sour. It went in the bin. The chicken pasanda was tasteless. It too went in the bin. We will not be buying anything from here again.

Very good food, staff is nice and gave good recommendations. Surely worthy of a visit!

Great selection of food and all very tasty

We have visited four or five times in the last two years and had more than a dozen deliveries. I highly recommend Pataka. It has a relaxed atmosphere with friendly and attentive staff knowledgeable about what on the menu is vegan. Our regular vegan order includes Vegetable Madras, Sabzi Chilli Dall, Sabzi Jalfrezie, and Saag Aloo with Chapatis and Pilau Rice. Delicious.

Really amazing food, and really kind workers. They gave us more advice about Edinburgh, since it’s our first day and they are so welcoming! We really enjoyed as a family and loved the restaurant very much. Hope to come again soon!

Excellent food and service. Good vfm to. We will return.

Great dining experience. Big palet of tastes. Friendly owners. Do try the starters, good well go for main! Both the veggie and maets were tasteful.

Très bon restaurant indien. Les plats proposés sont variés et copieux pour un tarif correct. L'ambiance est sympathique.

Still one of the best Indians in town - love it ! Food amazing and service brilliant . The staff are so helpful and happy to help with your food choices .

This is my 2nd visit to the restaurant which we visit with family when in Edinburgh The staff are always friendly and the food is excellent with plenty of choice The vegetable pakora starter being particularly tasty Good experience all round !

Pataka Pataka Pataka, banging food and lovely employees

Indian restaurant a little small but which allowed us to eat on our first evening in Edinburgh when the other places were already closed. Positively surprised by the food that we really liked and honest prices.

fantastic place. great food both hussain and emdad were fantastic. came in hungry and left happy!

Amazing food, professional service, cozy ambiance! We love this place! So want to eat again as soon as possible!

A first-class, cozy Indian restaurant. I had the Tikka Masala and I'm still raving about it days later. The bread is also highly recommended. I'd love to come back.

Excellent food, unexpensive wine, great service. And the cheapest dinner we had in our 13-day-Scotland stay. I strongly recommend!

I don't say this often but this place is a little gem. Lovely friendly staff, class food (thank you chef) and reasonable prices. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Good veg indian food and service. The staff was friendly and customised the food as per our need.

Last few times we've had takeaways. Never disappointed. My favourite is Chat Potti. Just as good as ever.

Heerlijk gegeten voor een zeer betaalbare prijs. Vriendelijk personeel. We waren met z'n vieren en konden er zonder te reserveren terecht. Echt lekker Indisch eten. We hebben genoten.

Selected based on a Google review. No regrets! 🤓 Delicious food, quick service.

Lovely, traditional family run restaurant with great food and reasonable prices

Edinburgh’s best Indian restaurant. Been going for many years and every visit has been a treat. Real Indian food served by friendly, likeable staff. Cannot praise it enough.

Food great, and plenty choice for vegetarians.

I had the very best marinated tandoori chicken , full of flavour and perfectly juicy . My dad always brings me here with mom , he swears by Pataka when it comes to enjoying a great curry with a fantastic service . I guess we will come here again soon

Our 2nd visit to Edinburgh and our 2nd visit to this gem of a curry house! My wife had the chicken jalfrezi with pilau rice, whilst I had a hot chicken vindaloo with rice also. Our naans were freshly cooked and piping hot. Staff were attentive, friendly and chatty. When we return to the city, we will definitely be making a point of coming back here, highly recommended.

We’ve had illnesses and then Irene broke her wrist and has been miserable. Before that we had Christmas and New Year. So it’s been probably three months or more since we were here. Boy! How I’ve missed the ginger saag dhal. I had that. Irene had a chicken dansak. We both had boiled rice and shared a fabulous peshwari naan. It was good to catch up with the guys and get the family news. The food was, always excellent and the service superb. It’s always a joy to visit Pataka.

No table booked but no problem and all staff very welcoming. Ordered main course each, jalfrieza, hot and Kathmandu, mild. Very popular for takeaway also. Great service.

Went there for dinner, Warm Welcome, Great atmosphere and Lovely food, Will return again, we can get Great indian food for Good price

Lovely meal and a really nice atmosphere. Amazing curry as well as brilliant service from very kind staff members who make you feel very welcome.

Another lovely dinner at Pataka. Food was great, good vegetarian and celiac options. Service outstanding. We will be back!

It was a lovely and busy atmosphere, came here with some friends and it was very affordable for the amount that we ordered.

A very nice atmosphere and friendly staff! I really enjoyed the food and would definitely recommend. Everything was very affordable and the portion sizes were just right.

I will be back. The food was amazing, the staff was amazing, atmosphere was amazing. Especially loved the warm towelettes at the end 🔥

Went here with some friends. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We got a selection of dishes to share and the portion sizes were perfect.

All tastes good. This is the best Indian restaurant I ever come. I will recommend to my friends and enjoy a wonderful dinner.

Superb restaurant, wonderful selection of Indian cuisine and very attentive staff. Went for dinner before a show and service was first class.

Came in for a meal, the food was beautiful and there were brilliant vegetarian options! Great portion sizes (took the leftovers home to have tomorrow!). The service was attentive and staff were all lovely. The music was nice in the background and helped to create a calm and amazing atmosphere. I will definitely be back!! :)

Great food, reasonable prices. Staff are attentive and friendly.

The food at Pataka was delicous and all the waiters were very nice! If I come back to Edinburgh in the future I will definitely come back again for more.

Always amazed by this restaurant very tasty and nicely spiced we have visited this restaurant many times excellent staff highly recommend this place to everyone

Super romantic venue- food was amazing, they give you after eights at the end. Fabulous! Had the most amazing vegetarian food.

Wonderful food, friendly staff, love eating here. Have returned for a couple of years and will continue to do so! Really like the decor too

I went for dinner with my mum and sister and were seated straight away. Staff were very attentive and friendly. We ordered 3 curries and it was great sized portions and all 3 meals tasted amazing! Would 100% recommend

We got a main and a rice/nan each and were totally stuffed. Really good quality for money. The chicken was cooked incredibly well, possibly the best I have ever eaten. I would absolutely recommend trying this place! Nice ambience, not too loud even at peak...

Lovely food, great value for portion size and absolutely amazing taste. The chicken was very tender and the nan was soft and delicious. The service was great, the restaurant was busy, as was to be expected for a Saturday night which made for a friendly...

Good food helpful staff and nice ambience, comfortable and pleasant atmosphere, really enjoyed the lamb curry and lassi

Always love place, have been going for years. Food is excellent, staff are really friendly and the vibe is fresh and fly.

Excellent service and very delicious food! Would recommend. Lovely intimate restaurant with lots of choice on the menu.

Had a really nice time, really delicious food, nice atmosphere and good service. Would go again. Ordered the chicken Tikka Masalam.

We come here regularly and the food, staff and atmosphere are always fantastic! Highly recommend this spot in Edinburgh

Every time I go, it is always amazing! The service is fabulous and the food is to die for! Would recommend if you are looking for Indian in Edinburgh

We had a lovely meal at Pataka restaurant visited this restaurant tonight food was delicious and very tasty all staff are very friendly and happy highly recommend this restaurant to everyone five stars service and food

Amazing food and atmosphere! A hidden gem in Edinburgh. The service was quick and kind, can’t recommend Pataka enough.

the staff was so lovely! they welcomed us in and made us feel very special. the food was outstanding!!

We had a great meal with fantastic service and will be back very soon. The restaurant could be a bit warmer as there is no double doors and it’s very draughty whenever the front door is opened.

Incredibly friendly service, food cooked to my liking. First class. Will most definitely be back. Vindaloo was hot, naan bread was also extra hot. Beautiful

Omg what an Indian.....have to say when we travel we have an Indian no matter where we go and this Indian is In my top 3 . Friendly staff food amazing does what it say ls on the menu and you will come out absolutely full . We are staying on Princes Street but worth the 10 min taxi ride . Taste...flavours were amazing, just what I expected from an Indian and the portions were really good . My husband always asked for extra hot, and it's what he got ...which isn't the case in some restaurants but have to say 10 out of 10 well done guys .

PATAKA is an absolutely incredible restaurant. Wonderful staff, wonderful food and lovely atmosphere.

PATAKA is an absolutely incredible restaurant. Wonderful staff, wonderful food and lovely atmosphere.

We came to visit Edinburgh and we needed something comforting to eat for dinner as the weather was quite gloomy and rainy. We found Pataka and we immediately fell in love with the delicious food and the lovely atmosphere. Everyone was very welcoming and took good care of us. We definitely recommend Pataka if you’re around Edinburgh’s area and want to have proper Indian food.

Great food and an amazing crew, being very welcoming and warm hearted. Definitely worth a visit! Thanks a lot to all of them there!

With storm Babet impending we ventured out to celebrate our Ruby wedding anniversary courtesy of Rab and Cathy. Where better than Pataka for personal, friendly service and superb food? Some cricket chat from the young waiter added to my enjoyment. We shared a couple of starters: prawn purri and chicken tikka. Beautifully cooked and presented. I had the sabzi jalfrezi for the first time in a few months and that was thoroughly enjoyable. Rab renewed his acquaintance with the bhuna family, chicken this time I think. Irene and Cathy each had one of their regular favourites but I forget which. All fabulous and as far as we are concerned, the best ‘Indian’ cuisine available to us in a very wide area.

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!! The food, service, and atmosphere were incredible! It's a little hidden gem and is not to be missed!

the food was very good and the staff very attentive!

We went there for a family dinner. 4 adults and one child, we booked ahead. The atmosphere was perfect, service impeccable, and the food was the best Indian food I have ever had. Amazingly tasty, beautifully served and wonderful service from the staff. A truly excellent experience. If you are in Edinburgh and looking for good Indian food at reasonable prices then this is the place for you.

Fabulously tasty food, wonderful service, lovely atmosphere. If you like Indian food, do not miss this amazing place

So yummmmmmy. Food is delicious, service is fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!! Always very welcoming and would recommend to all my family and friends.

Amazing indian food, felt like home! Good ambience and great service! Staff is very friendly and welcoming! Highly recommended.

Pataka is without question the best Indian restaurant in Edinburgh. The flavor of the curries are exquisite. I can’t help but come back week after week. Treat your friends and family to a fantastic meal and come to Pataka. The vegan options are stupendous. I cannot think of a single negative thing to say about this restaurant.

Dîner à l'improviste un soir de semaine, près de notre location dans une maison d'hôtes. L'extérieur ne paie pas de mine (quartier très calme) mais l'intérieur est cosy, vous êtes bien accueilli et la cuisine est goûteuse. Bon rapport qualité/prix.

Such an outstanding food, flavours, uniqueness, human service and kind attendion to one's personal taste. Totally recomendable and as soon as we are back to Edimbourg, we will visit! ;)

Amazing as per usual! Been coming here for years and is always so good! People are also so lovely and welcoming! Highly recommend

Came for dinner with my family was a lovely place beautiful food and super friendly staff 10/10 highly recommend!

My wife and I have been eating here for many years and have never been disappointed. North Indian Garlic Chicken - Wow! Staff are lovely and cannot do enough for you.

food and atmosphere was great, food portion was just nice. suitable to eat with friends or colleagues

Continues to be the best curry house in Edi. old style, but that' a plus here. huge plus.

Lovely food, nice to see some different options on the menu compared to a 'standard curry house'. Prices reasonable and service very friendly. Busy midweek which I'd hope is indication of the popularity

Best Indian restaurant in Edinburgh

We've been here many times over the years and it's consistently quality food and great service. Our favourite Indian restaurant in Edinburgh, highly recommended ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great wee local place, great food, great wine grea prices

Excellent food and great service. Would 100% recommend for anyone looking for a great Indian. Good location as it is near town. 10/10

It’s a lovely restaurant with friendly waiters! I’ve ordered a chicken Bhuna which is of medium spice, and a sarso bhindi for the side, they are all delicious and I strongly recommended them!

All the food we tried was lovely, we especially liked the chicken tikka biryani. Overall had a great experience at Pataka, the staff were all very kind and attentive. Will definitely be back!

Lovely warm restaurant very friendly and helpful staff food was beautiful highly recommend coming with friends or family

Well above average, tasty varied menu, attentive pleasant service, good atmosphere. Will go again.

美味、感動、富有層次。我點推薦的mangsho roti搭配兩種餅（garlic nan 和 chapati)。 份量多，相當於2個女生的份量。 是我到英國吃的最好吃一餐，也是我吃過最好吃的印度料理！

Irene and I met with our daughter, husband and granddaughters. When Tracey is back in Edinburgh, a trip to Pataka is always on the “essential to do” list. And we will always be on for that. Tracey likes her chicken curries to be Tikka based...

It is a great spot for delicious Indian food. The service is great. The waiters are very welcoming. I recommend it %100.

We had a weekend stay in Edinburgh. We went to Pataka for dinner and both the food and service was amazing. We will be returning very soon.

Once again Pataka staff are very welcoming lovely food very tasty again and again highly recommended to everyone love this restaurant

The food and service was very nice.

Unglaublich gut und Alle super freundlich!!! Sehr empfehlenswert! Wer indisches Essen liebt sollte hierhin!!

The experience was not to what we expected especially with the food. Will be trying again to see if there's any change in opinion.

The best garlic naan I’ve ever had. It was light, fluffy, and perfectly buttery. The two curries we ordered were great as well and we can’t wait to go again!

My wife and I ordered a collection from Pataka the other week. We had heard good things and we weren’t disappointed. The menu is vast but I like how they have recommendations on their website to help you decide. My wife went with the lamb...
