Went to Rice n Spice as I was working nearby. Excellent choice on the menu. Lovely curries. While in Scotland I thought I would try the haggis samosa. Very delicately spiced with a great tamarind dip. The mixed grill was perfect. Would highly recommend, it's a shame I live over 200 miles away. I would be a regular.

This is my new favourite Indian takeaway! Our order included butter chicken and naan. They weren't overly sweetened and were aromatic. The fenel seeds in the peshwari was a nice touch. Also, there was loads of meat with sauce in the mains, and the food wasn't overly oily like most other places.

For the curry kings that usually have too much to say, we’re going to keep it sweet and simple… North Indian - so many ingredients this will make your mouth dance, water and sing 👌🏻 Chicken tika - lucky the other dishes were so good and the chicken was gorgeous, however too close to butter chicken than chicken tikka. Lamb madras - just how you want it. Meat was melt in you mouth and the sauce wooooooooooh the sauce and the spice on point. Stop reading and order. Portobellos new king of curry! We say that with a heavy heart because sometimes you want the hidden gem to remain your own but we have to share this with the world. Take a bow rice and spice the new 👑 ‘s Yours sincerely The curry kings

This is the best curry we’ve had in a very long time. It took a while to prepare it, but that’s because they were making it fresh. Amazing flavours! It’s more of a takeaway really but there are tables if you want to eat in. They don’t have alcohol, but you can bring your own, and they provide wine glasses. Staff were very friendly and prices were excellent , especially for Edinburgh. We will definitely come back next time we are in Edinburgh.

4.5/5 It was hot, real hot. The curry kings were embroiled in a Heat haze, aka a heat shimmer. Too exhausted to fend for themselves they took a chance on a flyer that flew down from the heavens “rice and spice”. This was the morning after another tartan army victory and the curry kings were in dire need of some hearty food to soak up the over exuberance from the night before. At first when the order arrived it felt like a mirage too good to be true, however “the proof of the pudding is in eating” (Roy Hodgson). The order: £61 3 popadoms (we got 6 😍) 1 lime pickle 1 Ghee rice 1 coconut rice 1 onion Bhaji (3 pieces) 1 vegetable pakoras (500 pieces) 1 chicken tikka 1 chicken North Indian 1 lamb madras The popadoms - we got 3 more than we asked pretty decent standard, could have been crispier but understandable for a delivery. Lime pickle - the stuff of dreams could eat like it was cereal - please give more. Extras - mango chutney, chilly onions, riata Rice - couldn’t really tell difference between ghee and coconut apart from the cashew nuts in the latter. Please note both were beautiful and felt freshly made. Onion bhaji - lovely little pancakes full of flavour and went down a treat. Only problem was there wasn’t more. Vegetable pakoras - different class - crispy Little critters that came by the bucket load. Different from the traditional veg pakora but for once size did not matter. Chicken tikka - having tried the sit down version this seemed to be a tad more coconut infused but was still something special. Chicken North Indian - the hottest by far. Garlic galore a lovely Smokey taste full of flavour. Chicken was lovely “broke up lovely” with a mouthwatering gravy. Lamb madras - “the lamb was tidy, when lamb is good is good” when you get a good lamb dish it’s the sign of a good chef/restaurant. The amount of ingredients in this must make it worthy of a Guinness book of records claim. My mouth is still watering. The 3 curry kings have tried curry’s from John O’ Groats to Timbuktu, however portobello has always been a hot bed for fantastic Indian cuisine. A new contender has not just entered the conversation but close-lined the others out the way. From the glory days of old “the prince balti” to the new pretenders that flattered to deceive” RICE AND SPICE feels like it really could be the real deal. When the Scottish Indian summer is over and it’s safe to venture back outside to avoid sunburn give it a try…your life might just depend on it. The curry kings have spoken… take heid. 4.5/5

The best Indian takeaway that we've had in Edinburgh after trying many others over the past 30 years!! We highly recommend and will be back!😁 Fantastic quality of Indian food-- good price, and portion sizes, a free popadom, delicious flavours with fresh ingredients, cooked perfectly, arrived hot and on time. Ordered- Paneer Buttered Masala (nice paneer pieces in a tasty light smooth cashew buttery sauce) Coconut Rice (delicate long grain basmati rice with coconut/cumin + mustard seeds) Vege Pakora (10 light, non greasy, crispy, small pieces with lots of flavourful spices/spinach/coriander/peas ect) spiced onions (very tasty compared to the usual plastic bag of chilly powder/onions! These are a smaller portion but served in a tomato, spiced, fresh coriander sauce) also ordered 1 popadom. Meal came with 2 sauces and an extra poppadom- small touches like that show that the owners and chefs care about their customers. Thank you! We'll tell our local friends and family about you 🙏

I got a takeaway from here last night and I have to say it was incredible. The service on the telephone was friendly and attentive. One small detail that is a total revelation is that they called me five minutes before my meal was ready for collection. This meant that not only was it beautifully cooked but it was piping hot and there was zero wait time. This is my new go to place for Indian takeaways even tho it’s a few miles away. I noticed they also had a couple of tables primarily tho I think this should be classed as a takeaway but I would have no problem sitting in as the staff were super friendly. Five stars guys keep up the good work. Frankie
