Roti of Edinburgh in Edinburgh, City of

We had a best experience at this restaurant while hunting for some desi food during our trip. The staff was helpful if we remember the guy name Khaqan & the girl at the counter. We tried their chicken handi which was but spicy but same evening we had their Mutton bhunna which was very tender & delicious. Honestly speaking, that was one of the best mutton we ever had & we were even discussing about the same taste yesterday.

There's a lot of room for development in the service, taste of the food (very abundantly). The Lahori Chana and the Chana Puri had the same Chana Dish which tasted bitter. The portions are very small and not properly thought of. It's any random street food place in South Asia with exorbitant prices. At the heart of South Bridge this place is a disappointment to other existing restaurants. The staff are very accommodating and there is room for development (but that's not going to happen unless the restaurant improves) but it's the ownership and the management of the establishment which is very concerning. Neither the food tastes good nor is it to the proper portion size in the curry which would match the price of tapas. That's quite a disrespect to the cuisine. It needs heavy improvement. I decided to eat everything despite the awful taste because I quite did not want to make a mess at the spot. It's problematic for the reputation of south Asian cuisine as a whole due to places like this. There are a bunch of other restaurants like Tuk Tuk, Kalpana, Kebab Mahal (good for portions) along the way to try and I am definitely not wasting my money again because the morals of the establishment reflects through the stale food it served. I wish I voiced it at the spot as the waiters were really nice and would have replaced but here's how awful they are as a baseline

The restaurant was nice and quiet. The staff were also lovely. I ordered the tawa which was beautiful and yummy. Especially the meat curry. If you love spicy food, then this is a great choice of a platter. The only reason I haven't given 5 stars is that I don't do spicy food. My mistake, I should have asked. Overall, I can't fault the meal.

Service: slow, not attentive, made mistakes with an order, missing order, hair in food !!! Food: small portions of main meals. Starters are decent. You'll get 2 papadoms as a side !!! Scandalous!!! Toilets dirty , no soap , no paper , lockers broken . In central area like this , restaurant should be in much higher standard than this. Very disappointed and won't come back.

Only takeaway!! Food good, simple!!

We had such a wonderful dinner here. The huge tawa platter was amazing, everything was phenomenally flavoursome. Looking forward to the next time!

Great service. Fantastic authentic food. I recommend the mixed grill for 2 with fresh naan. Also tried the lamb biryanis which was excellent. Toilets clean service within 15 mins on a busy Friday night.

Excellent food and very helpful staff!

Very nice and delicious place! Good prices and friendly staff. We have a nice talking with David and Shumaila. Thank you so much and we come back again!

Basic interior and simple facilities but the food was delicious, All seemed very authentic, homemade and delicious! Good value and great location.

Yummy food, friendly, helpful staff, and open late, which was a God-send on a late Sunday evening!!

Out as a group for a friends birthday. We had two large platters to share between 8 of us plus rice and salad on the side. Food was authentic and delicious. Staff were very friendly. Will definitely be back. The lamb in particular was my favourite!

I got paneer tikka masala and garlic naan for takeaway. I have been dying to find a restaurant with a good paneer dish in Edinburgh but it’s been impossible and Roti has just worsened my search. The sabzi is absolutely tasteless, flavorless, anything-less. There is nothing good that I can say about it. The color is off putting for start. That’s never how a paneer gravy should look like. As soon as I took a bite, I did not want to take another and I have never felt that about any food before. I’ve been taught to never waste food since childhood but i want to throw this dish away completely. No one should be subjected to this poor tasteless dish, let alone have to pay £15 for it. I wish I could give it 0 starts but I can’t so I give it 1. Literally no one should eat here, don’t subject yourself to a terrible meal

I would say if you want quality food with great staff, Roti is the place. I went there first time today and made a really small order. But everything from service to taste was up to the quality standard. Seriously loved their Qeema naan. Going to visit them again soon.

Food is amazing however my choice didn't match my taste which is my fault next time I'm picking something else, the manager is amazing he tried to suggest a supplement to make the meal better and staff checked on me, the Pakistani girl from peshawar is ray of sunshine 🌞 the other waitress is an asset to the business. An amazing team 🥰

Great food at a reasonable price great service

Good quality of food & service in reasonable prices. Since it wasn’t crowded so got our food quickly. Location is also good. Recommended dishes :- Aloo Paratha & Aloo Gobhi

I had a really good experience! The food was amazing and the service was excellent. I would definitely recommend

Really disappointed about food we had. Tikka and kebab taste doesn’t like fresh.. for this overprice the food standards should be high aswell.

Excellent, authentic Indian/Pakistani flavors. No artificial color or taste. We wanted spicy and hot and it was made perfect. If you are craving for Indian food then this is the place. Btw we had vegetarian - I am sure the non veg would be good as well.😊

The staff was so adorable. Nice fun loving and helpful.

The most racist place in Edinburgh the staff is clearly trained to do their job .

I had a great time, the food is very good. I advise you!

Very disappointing food taste and portion very less over priced not worth

It’s very bad experience with roti restaurant Very bad and time waste with no taste biryani Just add chicken curry with plain rice yellow rice very bad experience not biryani colour just add chicken curry with rice very very bad experience never back to this place for special biryani very salty and oily with uncooked chilly powder never ever not recommended this restaurant

Best indian restaurant I have experienced in edinburgh, staff and their was amazing

The food was so tasty, the seating area downstairs was cosy and the staff were welcoming and friendly. Because we're local we're looking forward to coming back with our family.

Food was ok - nothing special. Service was woeful. Absolutely disgusting. The woman who was seemingly the waitress seemed as though she’s guarding the crown jewels with her attitude towards the menu. She wouldn’t let us change items on the tawa. We had to pay for extra. She forgot our tap water and then she just kept staring at us whilst we were eating. I would never come back. Ever. The restaurant also is in dire need of an upgrade. There is so much miscellaneous crap everywhere, like a car child seat on the bar downstairs?! Probably end of life for this place. P.S. adding to this review because the response is even worse than the service. What a joker. Where did i say the food was disgusting? I said the service was. Learn to read before you respond. And we didn’t finish everything, check your cameras. We packed it up. Oh wait your cameras probably don’t work because the state of your establishment is pathetic. We won’t be back buddy.

Amazing place wish we had one like this in France! Food was great and staff very Nice. Kudos to the chef Yuru (hope i spelled it Right) :)

The restaurant is artistic and halal, and the food is normal and clean

The dinner was really great. The platter for 32 GBP really worth every penny for three of us highly recommend whoever visiting this place to have platter as it comes with starters, curry and Nan. We had egg fried rice post this which was average. This is very near to the Edinburgh castle hence the location is great. Hari who served us the food was polite and recommended us the good options.

Visited Roti with my family and had a mixed experience. The food was decent—we tried the Tawa, but the portion sizes were smaller than expected for the price. Unfortunately, the falooda was disappointing and didn’t meet our expectations. Additionally, the owner was a bit rude when we called ahead, which left a negative impression. Overall, it was an okay visit, but there are definitely areas for improvement.

Very good Indian restaurant we had a meat dish for 4 people and a vegan dish for 2 people which we shared together. Very spicy for children but otherwise I recommend it.

First time in Edinburgh, so we were looking for a nice halal spot in the centre of Edinburg. We were a big group of 10. We ordered chicken and lamb Biryani with sides of butter chicken to go with the Naan we ordered. The food tasted good. However, the portions were small for the price listed. The service was a mess it was hard to get any attention and requests would take a long time to process. We ordered 5 Naans and we only got 3 and we let them know of the error and it took a while for them to bring the 2 Naan that we had to cancel it since the butter chicken got cold. Service charge cannot be removed even though the service was poor. You would think that if the service isn’t great you can cancel it but not here. Honestly, a lot of customer service has to be taken into account at this place and portions need to be altered. That’s my opinion and how I felt visiting Roti. Hope they listen to honest feedback and improve. Food isn’t bad after all.

To all French speakers come to this super good and friendly restaurant, be careful it can sting 👍🙂

Bit of a random visit to this place as pitstop between shows and only ordered a few small dishes but it was really very good. The Lahore lamb chops were perfect, slightly crunchy and carbonised on the outside but still pink and juicy on the inside and we should have ordered more. No booze, which, in a positive light, keeps the bill low. I've only given 3 for atmosphere as it was a bit quiet but would definitely. Go and create an atmosphere

Too good! The service was quick, food was tasty and people were nice.

We came from Glasgow for a decent meal. However, this is the worst food we have ever had. The foods were uncooked & not fresh at all, possibly used from the leftover items. When we brought this to the waiter's attention, they only offered something else off the menu for free, but were very hesitant to remove the uncooked dish off the bill. Eventually they removed that dish (£6.50 off a £100 bill). They did not offer any further discount/compensation for our poorly made meal. I would strongly recommend anyone to never go there as we will never be visiting again. I have never felt so sick from a meal. Such a waste of time and money!!!

This place is completely rubbish and pathetic. The food was disgusting and tasted inedible, The service was completely poor they were so slow and did nothing about our orders. Also the roof was leaking so much that a bucket had to be placed. The bathroom was not cleaned , there was tissue paper everywhere and it seemed like a sewage pipe.

the food was great . authentic Indian food with hot naan bread. served in hot steel plates and dum biryani . ordered Sheesh kabab and chicken tikka . all was tasty with nice sauces .

Great food, excellent service and very friendly manager.

Fantastic Indian food in the city. Bhindi masala must try for Indian folks.

One of the best restaurants in Edinburgh The food is delicious and halal The employee is nice and helpful Really, don't miss it But for ordinary people, the food is a little spicy Tell them to reduce the heat But it's delicious for me And the prices are good This dish is enough for two people comfortably But their flaw is that the songs sound a bit loud

Great meal that the whole family enjoyed, been a whilst since I had been. Had a selection of the tandoori grill as well as the Kofta curry which was that good I ordered a second one, really good quality food. The last time I went I got the Tawa selection which is like having your own buffet at your table, I also highly recommend that if your in a group.

Me & me partner visit Edinburgh at least once a month & without a doubt we always go to Roti's Tapas Restaurant, the food is well worth the 3 hrs drive alone. All the staff are friendly & polite & make you so welcome. The food is far the best I've had, the flavour & the taste & the choice of food is well worth a visit. Thanks to all the staff & we will see you soon 😊

Best Tawa I'm ever have...highly recommend 👌 🙌 so nyumy and tasty. Thank you. X

Been there 2wice and loved the food as it’s perfect nice and spicy well cooked and ofcourse quick service, HIGHLY recommend this restaurant 🤩ordered Tawa for 2 and ate it all lol 😂 was too good 👍🏻

Good food. Welcoming staff. Nice presentation. There are lots of options to choose from. 🌟

Taste wise its good, but the starter is not my preferences. Service was top notch! Only in the ground floor the signal was really bad, there’s wifi but cant be connected.

We were looking for something reasonably priced at lunchtime near the museum. We were delighted with here. The place is nice, spacious & clean. Service was excellent and food was prompt. . We had pakora then curry & rice. Cost £9.99 & included coffee. Portions were great. Overall great place for lunch.

We recently dined at Roti and were absolutely delighted by the experience. The food was incredible, and the service was amazing. Both Aisha and Asha were exceptionally kind and helpful, making our visit truly memorable. It was one of those rare but profound experiences that stand out. We are incredibly grateful and extend a personal thank you to the entire team at Roti for such a wonderful evening. We look forward to returning soon!

We had a lovely meal here. Pickle tray had a nice selection of sauces. Curries were lovely as was the Nan bread. Bring your own bottle was a nice touch. We bought chilled wine in the Sainsbury’s across the road. Friendly welcoming service. We will be back.

The food was absolutely gorgeous, had a tava and it was plenty of food for two. The chicken was cooked to perfection and I loved all the sauces. Was reasonably priced for the portion.

It’s a simple little restaurant. We went on a Tuesday so not a lot of staff or customers so atmosphere was quiet. However, the food was amazing. Well cooked, flavoursome and authentic. The Tawa for 2 was amazing topped of my an amazing mango lassi. Very very reasonable price. Definitely recommend if you want good food. (P.S. it is not clearly advertised that there is no alcohol)

The food is good but just really spicy and when asked the hostess did not inform in advance even when we told her we want the food to be less Spicy. ambience is not too good and seem to be not wanting to give me more than one tissue. The owner also seemed to be like a big di**. he was closing up the restaurant and was in such a hurry. Also seems like a very abusive workspace for the employees. The owner seems so rude to them and they in turn, to each other. Very sad. Overall sub-par.

Amazing food and amazing service. Very nice and respectful service from MR Euro. Every time I'm in Edinburgh I only eat here. Definitely recommend the Tawa. Raj

Bad service and the manager are swindlers and thieves

The worst service you will ever see in your life

Went for just a light dinner and had the vegetarian/vegan pakora and bhindi bhaji which very really delicious!! (Also made with gram flour in case you want a gluten-free dish). The staff was very lovely, we had a great time. Thank you!

The food was amazing, quite tasty and full of delicious spices

Bad hospitality and poor vegetarians meals Not serving what it says on the menu. Please avoid this place if you’re going for an authentic Indian food experience.

Food is really amazing we love that😋 And the staff is really amazing she specially sumaila .

Great food, nice atmosphere, not good handicap bathroom The food here was amazing! My family and I stopped here for dinner on our short trip to Edinburgh. The waitress was very patient while we sorted out our order. We ordered tapas and full sizes of various dishes and they were all lovely. The spice levels (we ordered mild) were flavorful without being spicy. The meat was super tender, and the garlic naan soft and larger than our faces. All the staff were attentive and helpful, and asked after us multiple times. The only downside was the handicap bathroom. My mother with walking problems went, and got poked by some sort of screws(?) in the toilet seat. The backs of both thighs got poked and were still bleeding an hour later.

Delicious food, They can also prepare food as you want. The behaviour of the staff is really appreciated.

I ordered a chicken buna but it was not chicken buna. It was just normal. The chicken had no spices, I tried to finish my food but the food was so bald that I couldn't finish it. Not worth the money. Not recommending to any Asian coming for an Indian / Pakistani cuisine food over here

Their food is delicious, especially the taka masala, and everyone is cheerful

Delicious food Nice sitting and good customer service

We inquired with your team members last night about their continued opening so that we may sit down and eat. Additionally, your staff claimed to be open and allowed us to stay, charged us VAT, and then asked us to leave because of the impending closure. This is unfair because your personnel ought to have informed us that they would soon be shutting rather than just letting us sit. It explains our unhappiness.When it comes to the food we brought from outside, it's totally understandable to tell customers not to eat it, but there are some standards of communication. It is obvious that when a customer places an order, your employees should inform them that they will shortly be shutting soon. Also, your staff refused to give tea when we wanted it and insisted that we have to place additional orders in order to get a tea. It is quite embarrassing though. The entire experience was negative. Once you received the money, we are forced to throw out. Also if you are claiming its a takeaway we made then (pani puri) served us won't be on plate. Instead you would have served on a takeaway plastics. Regarding the food we had was terrible and tea was alright.

Very rude staff , Terrible gol gappe. Not like the place and staff at all .

Very rude staffs No manners how to deal with the customer One of my friends took desi tea and it was almost closing time(11:30), and they pushed out of the restaurant whilst she was drinking the tea GOL gappe was terrible Horrible staffing

5 stars! The service was brilliant, the waiters were attentive and it's the most deliciously authentic Indian food in Edinburgh!

Astonishingly good food at reasonable prices. I don’t normally review restaurants but this deserves it. I will definitely be back.

Misguiding to enhance Sales, suggest me 2 person meal which was gone for left over… wasting of money and time.Too expensive for single person 25 £ per head.

I had an amazing experience at Roti Edinburgh The food was delicious, with each dish perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. I highly recommend the Lychee Mojito 🍹 it’s a refreshing mix of lime, mint he staff were friendly and attentive, making the whole dining experience even better. Definitely a place to revisit

We were a party of 4 and we were all very impressed with our food and with the service. Will highly recommend them

A halal Indian restaurant with lovely food. The waiters are very nice, helpful and respectful Thanks a lot Aisha and Shomila 🤍🤍

Food was mediocre however what I found off putting was that we asked for a high chair - my son kept trying to jump out of it so we asked the waitress to take it away, she put it into the disabled toilet - surely not right by any means.

One of the best kebab platter I have tasted. Tried their tawa platter for two and everything was incredibly delicious, tasty and flavorful. The manager was incredibly friendly and warm. Definitely one of the most delicious and affordable restaurants in South bridge!

Everything is good about the restaurant the food is very tasty it has lots of flavour to it and the service is really good and the staff is really nice

Terrific people, terrific food!

Good food, staff very helpful. And good prices. Well worth a visit👍

Fantastic meal. Very friendly staff. BYO with no corkage.

Everything was perfect, highly recommended 😍

So delicious food and lovely stuff

What a place can't recommend enough, very accommodating, friendly staff, food was amazing, service was great very quick and price was fair would definitely go again!

The taste of food is so delicious.. This restaurant provides indian food as well as pakistani food.. I recommend to everyone to come in this restaurant

Called at 23:10 still 20 mins to close and they refused to take my order and said we don’t take orders after 23:00 very disappointed should change closing time to 23:00 instead of 23:30

Best restaurant in Edinburgh..I recommend everyone to visit this restaurant..10/10..worthit👍👌

After our let down on Tuesday night, with the 2 hour delay we were told how sorry they were and a a loyal customer our next order would be on the house, we tried to have the order tonight, as an Easter treat, but fool me for lisening to a load of bull, they refused saying not there fault, stay clear of Roti😡😡

Popped in on a whim on Tuesday evening. The restaurant was fairly quiet at first but got busier later on. The food was all really tasty, the service was friendly and polite and all the food came out fast. Would definitely go again!

Substandard quality of food. Biyarni was old and the rice were joined up not like the barmati that should be but the chef kept insisting its fresh. There is nothing for me to recommend. Rather spend your money elsewhere. Very bad and poor experience

Best restaurant ever, best lambcurry in town, customer service is excellent, going to come back here

Staff is very good. Food was normal good but prices are very high.

Shamila was our server she made sure the request i had for my husbands birthday was fulfilled she was very friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was nice with quite music and so was the interior the food value was great but the food wasnt as tasty as can do with some improvement.

I was in Edinburgh for a single night with two old friends we were in the mood for a curry and were walking in the direction of Roti. My first impression wasn't great, I just felt it didn't looked as good as I imagined. I asked my friends what they thought and they said sure. We popped in, got a table and then we went across the road to the minimarket get some booze (BYOB free corkage!). Staff were fantastic, food was great, was not disappointed.

This is the worst food we have ever had. The level of oil was excessive and the foods were not fresh at all, possibly used from the leftover items. I would strongly recommend not to go there again. There are several other restaurants around which are far better than this. Such a waste of time and money!!!

Had lunch with my friends. The food is so great. Best I ever had.

Great food and lovely friendly staff. No alcohol served but your able to bring your own with you and not be charged corkage

They surprised us with a birthday cake for our friend who had their birthday which was super sweet :)) The Tawa is really good! Recommend 100 percent!!
