Shandon Spice in Edinburgh, City of

I phoned to ask about gluten in the dishes and they didn't really know what gluten was. I appreciate that they tried to tell me ingredients of the dishes but I felt uncomfortable ordering from there without clearer information on which items were gluten free. I hope they improve their training and knowledge on this in future and I would be happy to order from there. The guy was very polite and made an effort which was good, but I unfortunately need to feel I can trust a place that they understand the allergens and can give me this information easily.

Very delicious Indian food. Everything we got was awesome. Large serving size. The desserts are also worth a try.

Absolutely awesome food, and super friendly team! Try their desserts!

Regular customer and had a poor experience tonight. Order was late. Chips and naan cold. Very small portion of chips - lucky if carton was a 1/4 full (have photo of wish to discuss). Had to microwave everything.

Food was absolutely phenomenal, delivery was prompt. Delivery driver was also very nice. Not an Edinburgh native but will certainly eat here again when I return.

Loveliest owners, top notch food, great place.

I had Ordered keema rice and sheek kabab today, they were delicious and the portions were good enough. The takeaway was well maintained and would say 5/5 for the hygiene. The service and the staff addressed were great aswell. Highly recommendable for someone willing to try Indian and Pakistani Cuisine

Understand it’s busy, but for price, the food received was absolutely freezing!!!! Nan bread was like a wet soggy sock as must have been sitting for ages. Heated up in microwave tasted nice but ridiculous how cold it was when arrived. And 20 mins later than expected.

very disappointed with the curry's! hardly any meat but loads of sauce! not worth the money

Delivered on time always do! Food wasn’t up to scratch. Mixed kebab starter really dry chicken especially and the chicken in the curry was too. Not their usual standard

Apart from the delivery being late so the food wasn't as warm as hoped, the mains were tasty and enjoyable although one of the dishes, the chicken was a bit dry and over cooked but it had good spice heat, the chicken pakora was unfortunately look warm and a bit soggy from sitting so long on the journey.

Best indian takeaway in edinburgh. Disappointed to hear its shutting down .

I have tried lamb and chicken with Nan, it was a nice portion and good taste.

Food was burst In bag and waited over a an hour

Food excellent, high quality, delivery fast, as always thankyou!

Mushroom pakora very hard curry was good veg curry not so good salad with pakora was binned not fresh Nan bread excellent

Very tasty and food hot when delivered. Highly recommend.

The curries were excellent but they gave me two plain Naan breads when I ordered two Cheese Naan.

Food was about 10 mins late and arrived cold, delivery driver probably left shop with too many orders. Ashame as the food was quite tasty

Texted to let us know the delivery would be late

Food was good but I understand it’s a Friday, but ordering at just after 6pm, being given 7.10-7.30 as delivery, then the food actually arriving at 8.11, did dampen our enthusiasm for leaving a good review.

Sorry my food was so cold it's was spread all in bag :( I don't like my order :(

First ordered. Will order again

Great curry as always! Reliable not overwhelmed with spice.

Nothing special, luke warm on arrival

Lovely food, would definitely order again.

One of the best Indian takeaways in Edinburgh for sure! Top 2 dishes is their tandoori chicken and North Indian chilli garlic chicken! Would recommend and defo will be a regular.

The chiken was burned and the lamb was chewy...

Food was cold (like frozen) not worth, not happy with the delivery. Purely waste of money…

Hot and very tasty would definitely order again

Excellent quality and taste. Highly recommend.

Was given chicken instead of lamb, missing a rice that we paid for and the rice we did have was very watery. Unfortunately we won't be returning.

amazing polite driver. GET HIM A RAISE!

Great food, forgot the poppadoms tho :(

Another excellent meal from Shandon Spice. Friendly and polite delivery too. Thoroughly recommended.

Usually the food is very good .Unfortunately tonight sauce on both dishes very watery .Chichen very hard and dry .Very disappointing.

Naan bread was a bit on the chewy side.

I enjoyed it I loved the free pakora

Driver was very polite, and it's the best meal I have had for a long time.

Really good food once again from here, only issue was the lamb vindaloo didn’t have a lot of lamb and had potatoes in it instead which was very weird! Fish pakora is my fav thing highly recommend

Lovely meal, enjoyed every mouthful.

Excellent quality food, and extremely good and friendly delivery. Well done.

Shandon Spice has been sorely missed in my life since I had to move. Absolutely delighted to discover today that they now deliver to my new address. Was not disappointed. Delicious meal and friendly, polite driver as always.

The chicken was a bit tough. The sauce to chicken ratio has changed. Lucky to have 4 bits of chicken. I really like the sauce but it’s becoming not worth the money. I hate to say it cause they have been so good for a long time.

Not quite as good as glasgow style but the closest i've tasted in edinburgh. Chicken tikka masala was tasty. Got 2 naan because earlier reviews said they were small, and they were.

Food arrived early and was piping hot and well packaged. Enjoyed my meal very much. Great flavour and heat. Bread was delicious. Recommend these guys.

Really good service and great food.

The Food is amazing, thanks Chef 🫡. The fried rice (onion & ghee) is absolutely amazing, Very friendly Driver and 30mins early. This is now my “go to” restaurant for all things Spicy 🥵

Very happy with delivery and food.

This used to be such a nice takeaway but it’s not as good. My Nan bread was not right and there were no king prawns in my meal which I paid for so thumbs down 👎

A great place with great Indian food.

The food was amazing . The salt is a bit too much in the tandoori chicken otherwise superb .

For £30 to get 4 small bits of fish and a tiny amount of lamb is a joke.

Great food and service as always .

Delivery was super quick and driver nice. Ordered from here as my go to place was closed. Unfortunately food wasn’t great.. rice was fine, naan bread very chewy and can’t comment on quality of the chicken jalfrezi (which is all I ever order from an Indian..) as it was spicy to the point of actually being inedible.. had 3 spoons then had to give up so just ate the rice and bread. Shame as the curry actually looked lovely, minimal oil and loads of chicken/veg.

We ordered first time there but the experience was too bad in mutter paneer green peas like directly put from frozen and ordered 2 garlic naan but I think it was not garlic naan because there is no garlic on top of naan and also it’s like not made from Tandoor it is like frozen one and just heat in microwave Very disappointed ☹️

First time ordering and the food was great with a quick delivery will order again soon

Food was mostly OK but the lamb Bhuna didn't look or taste anything like a Bhuna and the lamb was tough and chewy, very disappointing

Disappointed that pakora came with a VERY spicy tomato sauce rather than the yoghurt sauce stated on menu so unable to eat. Food itself great as always

Update 18.04.2023 - we think there's new owners coz sauces are rather generic now and not as flavoursome as they used to be. Nan breads and many starters have changed and not nearly as good. Stars reduced from 5 down the way. We've stopped using. Great takeaway Indian food delivered in 20 mins. Chicken jalfrezi was tender with a sauce full of flavour and a bit of a kick. Lamb Madras was tender full of flavour, a decent heat but you could still taste everything. Fantastic food as always.

Good takeaway. Good service. Good food.

First order tonight and definitely the best Bhuna in Edinburgh.

The main dishes were lovely, but the pash. naan was burnt which was a shame.

Four overcooked prawns in a £15 watery, tasteless curry is ridiculous. The chicken pakora was overcook with a pitiful amount of salad. Rice was like little bits of rubber. Won’t be ordering again.

it was delayed by 30 mins and the food didn’t come!! very disappointed with this

Great food and service as always

Delivered exactly on time, delicious food.

Excellent job making my boyfriends vindaloo extra spicy like he asked for. It was very funny watching him chow down on it 👌🏻😁

Ordered madras with lemon rice, not a hint of lemon anywhere... Was really annoyed as I was told it was nice

Superb Quality food & highly professional service.

I ordered Prawn Dopiaza but received Chicken Dopiaza. As I don't eat meat this was slightly irritating.

The saag aloo was a side portion rather than the main we ordered - even so, it was all delicious.

Pilau rice wasn’t pilau rice, just coloured and seasoned . Hardly any meat in butter chicken, sauce good. Saag panir and naan good.

Highly overpriced. Some fried mushrooms, a lamb main and a naan. £18.20 - collected. You could feed a family of 6 for that. The naan was thin and soggy, mushrooms come in a box with the salad so everything is wilted. The main was nice but £18.20 with no rice and not even delivered. Not sure how they can justify that price.

Lovely food, extremely tasty and nicely spiced. Will definitely order from them again.

Spent over £80 on food for new year didn't receive any poppadoms or anything free for such a large order very disappointed.

I complained on the day i got this order that the poppadom tray was damaged. There was a refund given, but it hasn't shown in my account? The poppadoms were completely crushed when they arrived to me. I paid £47 for this order and don't expect that. What happened to the credit? Thanks.

Food was fresh, delicious and each item was a good portion size.

Food was delicious, North Indian was perfectly hot and spicy 👌🏼

One of the best takeaways this side of town, 👏

Unreal food my favourite Indian by far!!

Portion of naan is heavily overpriced too small. Fair service not so great 😄

Ordered chicken rogan josh, a peshwari naan and 2 chicken pakoras. Received prawn something spicy, plain naan and 1 chicken pakora. Food tasted good but not what I ordered.

2nd time was as good as first carry out amazing pathia

Fantastic pathia and madras and spicy .lamb just melted in your mouth will definitely order again

Excellent food and Excellent service.

It’s difficult to get a decent curry takeaway, but this didn’t disappoint. Will order again.

Really enjoyed, will order from here again

Really tasty curries. The medium was a wee bit more hot than expected but was still great.

The good Service: Nice service, very friendly and accommodating. I wanted the spice level hot and they got that right. Portion size is good, great value for cost. The bad Food: Garlic Naan bread was dry, stale. Tasted like thick toasted pita bread. Texture like microwave stuff not from a tandoori oven and too much garlic favor. Tikka chicken was not tasty as such, should be called something else. Conclusion: I don't know what the other places in the area are like this but I was not satisfied as indian restaurant.

Wonderful flavours cooked to order and although prices have went up in the current climate, they have maintained the high standard in quality. That is very important in keeping regular customers coming back and they have achieved it, so great credit to all concerned.

Food was good not the best curry I have had in Edinburgh but good. Would order again

My favourite Indian food is absolutely delicious

Excellent food, and although an item was missed the restaurant replaced it as quickly as possible with an extra. Great service and great food.

Fab curry - Glasgow standard! At last found a good curry in Edinburgh

Food arrived with in 20 mins hot and fresh! Really tasted great, North Indian garlic lamb was amazing and the fish pakora was so good! Only thing that let this plate down was they missed out all our dips and onions so popadoms were sideless and pakora were served dry and would have been even better with a dip

Lovely staff when I phoned (to specify address), food was delicious and quick service, will definitely order again

Curry, rice and poppadoms terrific, as usual. Didn’t think much of the vegetable samosas, sadly.

First time using here and food was fantastic highly recommend

Amazing Dal Tadka and Parantha, Really enjoyed the meal, thank you!
