Shawarma King Edinburgh in Edinburgh, City of

Really nice curry, great host (Raj) and good atmosphere.

We’re on our tour of Edinburgh and had a craving for authentic Indian food. After quick research and location being very close to our city center hotel we decided to try. Our instinct was true to be authentic food with great customer service. We being vegetarian the staff suggested few items that we tried and even after a day when I think of the Chaskaa, my mouth is watering. I would suggest whoever is in the area and wants to eat tasty Indian meals. Thank you!

Excellent Indian cuisine, Raj gave us great advice

Kaduna was great!! Perfect service, food was super tasty and she helped with recommendations, will be back again :)

The restaurant is really beautiful, the service is very classy, ​​and the food is really delicious. I recommend this restaurant to everyone who visits Edinburgh.

The place is beautiful and quiet. The food is delicious and the service is excellent. I recommend visiting the restaurant.

Ultimate Indian restaurant in Ediburgh..suoer authentic food...loved the biryani..and fantastic service..kudos to team chaska.. cheers -- Kunal Nima

As a regular customer at Chaskaa I find the staff friendly and helpful. The menu offers a wide range of dishes and the food is delicious. The restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere and along with the great service it makes a very pleasant experience all round.

Great meal - we ordered a bit of everything and everything was excellent! Highly recommend.

One of my favorites in Edinburgh! Excellent food and service.

The food was absolutely amazing, paired with great service, this made for a really lovely night, and just outside the city centre, would recommend.

Best curry in Edinburgh. Amazing staff, fabulous service. Worth the visit 100%

Great food, friendly staff, very reasonable, too. We were group of 7. We all enjoyed the experience. Will go back again.

Very good quality dishes and service. Excellent vegetable options. After eating Scottish food for a week, we were desperate for spice!

Delicious food and super friendly service. We especially loved the chicken biryani – really tasty and perfectly spiced. Would happily come back.

We were helped by Raj, what a nice, cozy restaurant. Super friendly and helpful staff. Really recommended, the food was delicious!

The naan bread, tandoori chicken, and monkfish were delicious. Highly recommended!

Thee best Indian restaurant in Edinburgh! Refined, quality, a gastronomic treat.

Super delicious! The chicken tikka masala and poppadum were amazing. Service was really great as well.

My wife and daughter were here last summer and told us about Chaskaa. The food, the service, and cleanliness was amazing. I can’t say enough about our sweet and efficient waitress. She is a treasure!

Food good. Service good. Music spectacular

The food was amazing.. especially the dal tadka and rice were superb. The samosa was equally delicious.. the service was also very quick.. the ambiance was also very great.

Absolutely loved the food, atmosphere and service. Would highly recommend this lovely restaurant.

Lovely curry. Amazing service. Thank you Raj!

Great curry and naan, friendly staff and a good location. Definitely worth a stop. The prices were quite reasonable as well.

Absolutely amazing food, service, and very reasonably priced additionally the staff was very welcoming. Will return again and again.

Best meal during our two weeks in Edinburgh. Flavors were amazing. Staff was welcoming and attentive but not intrusive. Excellent!

Highly recommend, very tasty and yummy food , specially chicken 65 and lamb biryani is awesome.. very attentive service and Raj gave us very good recommendation.we will be back again for sure 😊

Wonderful meal and lovely people. Kiran served us and she was super-nice. Come and enjoy!

I visited this restaurant on two separate days. Really unique and delicious food! I tried: Lamb biryani, chicken biryani, paneer butter masala, butter naan, cheese & garlic naan, poppadum with mango, and mango lassi. All of these items were delicious and of high quality. The service and atmosphere were excellent too. Highly recommend it.

Amazing food with great portion sizes and a lovely balance of flavours.

Delicious food, lovely friendly service, I love Chaaska and will be back again soon ! Thank you so much. The perfect meal! 🤩

We went to this Indian restaurant for dinner and the experience was excellent in every respect. Special thanks go to Raj, who guided us with great kindness and competence in choosing the dishes. His advice turned out to be perfect. The dishes were delicious, full of flavor and presented with great care. The welcoming atmosphere and attentive service made the evening even more pleasant. Advised

Very reverberant acoustic detracted from an otherwise excellent evening

Wow so delish! We had saag paneer, lamb, chicken curry, lassi and are so so happy. Good deal too - £20 per person for a verifiable feast and a beer. Yum!

Wonderful food - so authentic and flavour filled. Staff were attentive and very welcoming. Would definitely recommend!!

Very good and quality food! Very kind and fast service! Must try!!!

Food was great, and at a very reasonable price, and the staff were so friendly and helpful!

The food here is excellent, very friendly staff and very attentive. Good value for money. Highly recommend.

Great restaurant, Raj and all the other servers were great! The dishes are spicy and tasty Everything we expected

Food was delicious and service was great. It’s a must stop if you are in Edinburgh.

Great meal, wonderful veggie food, Raj was the goat

Great food and good sized portions. Prompt service and helpful staff. Reasonably priced aswell.

Delicious, spicy as it should be, great meal Thanks Raj!

We love this restaurant! The staff are so friendly and the food delicious. We regularly have takeaways as locals and eat in from time to time too. Great value and never disappoints. .

My mouth is on fire and I feel like an alien will burst from my stomach. Needless to say I will come here again next time I‘m around.

Amazing food - try the Keema Naan. Will be back.

Such a great experience. Fantastic food and service. Raj was wonderful. We will be back!

Very tasty food and courteous service - I can highly recommend :)

A gem just a 18 min walk from central Edinburgh. The dinner began with a very savory spice-filled drink. We shared the tandoori chicken, chicken korma, chicken makhanwala, and a lamb bhuna. We also ordered a plain naan. Not overly spicy and not salty. All important to me. We finished every morsel. Extremely good.

This place was extremely good! The food we ordered were all 10/10! I highly recommend the tandoori chicken and the chicken korma. The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable, the service was great, and obviously, the food was amazing. Definitely should try it out some time. Thank you!

Traditional Indian restaurant. To highlight the service, very fast and attentive. The informal atmosphere, the somewhat confusing, inelegant decoration. Good food and very good value for money.

A regular customer. Highly recommend the Karahi. Great service also 👏

Our first time at Chaskaa and the food was 😋 delicious. And our waitress Kiran was brilliant! really helpful and lovely. They were pretty busy and we managed to get a table within 15 mins. The fish curry was the best we'd had! The aubergine curry was tasty too. We would definitely go back next time we're in Edinburgh.

Had takeaway for 5 last night, chose Chaskaa based on Google reviews. The food was fantastic. Every curry had a distinct flavour, unlike some restaurants where they can taste samey. We had... Chicken Karahi, chili garlic chicken, chicken tikka masala, paneer Karahi, dahl, brinjal, naans and rice. Portions were very big so loads left. Was just under £90 delivered. Very very good. New favourite Indian takeaway.

Love Chaksaa. Our favourite for many reasons: delicious food, relaxing atmosphere and charming service. Tonight we tried Amritsari Fish, Punjabi Murgh, chatpati gobi mater, tadka dal and chilli garlic king prawn. All amazing.

We arrived after walking 29,252 steps: famished, bereft. The atmosphere was promising, the staff friendly, the garlic coriander naan buttery. The portion sizes were fit for a Scottish king and the prices were as easy to stomach as the delicious murgh makhanwala (waiter very kindly corrected my pronunciation and informed me that it was in fact butter chicken and also that he liked my haircut). All jokes aside, fantastic restaurant and we very much hope to be back.

Once again Chaskaa is amazing, I’m regularly in Edinburgh and I nearly always come to Chaskaa the food is simply outstanding. For Indian food fanatics or just people who enjoy outstanding food in an unpretentious environment this is more than perfect. The service is attentive, charming and the definition of good hospitality. Congratulations Chaskaa is brilliant and a gift to the culinary life of Edinburgh!

Great food and reasonably priced. Staff were very friendly and professional.

The food and every was very tasty and nice

Excellent Indian restaurant. Great food and relaxing atmosphere.

Large selection of dishes, delicious. Very good support and advice from Raj!

Super tasty food, and above all the best service. Definitely recommended!!!

Delicious food and unusual menu - loads of things you don't usually see. Nice calm service asking whether I wanted to have a little break between courses! And delicious unusual spicy drink as a free appetizer!

Recommended to us by a local fellow, delicious and generous portions! Huge selection and lots of meat and vegetarian options.

The food was excellent and Mr Raj was very polite enough to do the servings and hospitality

Chaskaa is my number 1 curry take away service. Like most Indian curry lovers, I have tasted many curries throughout Edinburgh and Chaskaa Punjabi Murgh - one of their specials is the best I have ever had and will continue to have. Their Chicken Pakoras are the best we have ever had, just as the onion bhajis were delightful. I have recommended this place to work collogues who have visited the restaurant to eat in and loved my recommendation: Karahi, Punjabi Murgh, both dishes they loved. I have been in the restaurant to collect my order and the staff are the best, I mean really could not get nicer people, very friendly and who take the honour of serving you, the same goes for the delivery person , we have seen a few different drivers and every single one of them makes you feel like 5 star service, the food, the packaging, the staff, everything is perfect. I would recommend. Just an FYI, you get money back on each order, its like a points loyalty system, on average we get £2 on each order back into our chaskaa account, it feels great after a few orders you end up with a free curry or even a free meal.

Probably in the top 3 Indians I’ve eaten at. Excellent service & hospitality from Raj. Provided with a tomato & coriander soup shot an entry, which prepares the pallet for what’s to come. Both starters & mains were delicious, well flavoured & fresh. Was quiet as it was a Sunday evening hence losing 1 star on atmosphere but that’s hardly their fault! We found it through Google reviews & easy to see why. Fab all round

Good ambience and great service from Raj

Tasty food & quick service form Raj

Best curry in Edinburgh with big portions and super friendly staff. Suggest getting there early or booking in advance!

Its a beautiful restaurant with kind people. The food taste is amazing and is so flavourful that it will stay with you. We had paneer butter masala, naan, and veg biryani. The paneer was very tasty and barely any oil. Though Biryani was very tasty what added to the taste was the salan. Coming from hyderabad, I have never tasted salad so flavourful. It was outstanding 👏 We will return till we are in Edinburgh.

Excellent service and the food was incredibly tasty!

Very good food, great service and lovely place

Delicious food, reasonable prices and excellent service. Raj was an attentive and accommodating waiter who made our Mother’s Day celebration special!

Always excellent. Friendly service from the team, with consistently high quality, delicious food. Takeaway for me this time. Chicken Karahi, Chicken Biryani and a Butter Naan. Also highly recommend are the Tikka Shashlik, Peshwari Chops, Murgh Makhanwala, Murgh Kasturi. Butter naan is the best in Edinburgh.

K was fab!! Super friendly and welcoming. Gave us lots of insights into Holi which was v interesting :)) we’ll be back

Such a fantastic restaurant! I had a wonderful meal here with my daughter tonight, she’s at the university and I’m here visiting her. The service by Kay was so friendly and fast, lovely to chat to her. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The food was brilliant . One of the best Indian meals I’ve ever had. We will definitely come here again, next time I’m in Edinburgh. Thank you so much.

The food was amazing and our waitress Kay was a star, going out of her way for us! So lovely and friendly, a wonderful experience!

One of the best Tandoori places in Edinburgh. The Monkfish tandoori is fantastic.

Fabulous food and catered well for food allergies and intolerances. A great place to eat. Would definitely go again.

Lovely place to eat, lovely waitress Karuna will be back again

Excellent food - tasty and good quality. The food is hearty, rich and yummy. Service was impeccable. Lovely girl served us, was friendly and helpful. Been to this place a few times now and it has always been great. Recommend the biryani.

Great, authentic, indian food and very nice, attentive service. Lots of vegetarian options that can be veganized. Would 100% repeat!

I’ve been there to try indian food for the first time and an absolutely good experience! I’m not used to spicy food and asked to do more light, and the team had a lot of attention to attend it - i still felt quite spicy, but they offered me suggestions including a new dish in a light version, which I accepted and didn’t come 😅, but it’s okay. The food was good, and the costumer service is definitely a great point about this restaurant! I would definitely come back and recommend to friends!

Very calm afternoon/pre-theather atmosphere! Wonderful waiter and what incredible food! Absolutely will be coming again! Thank you so much

Absolutely wonderful food and service by Raj who was very nice and helpful especially with recommendations on meals for us to enjoy which was superb! Highly recommend this restaurant!

Very pleasant welcome, attentive and very friendly waiters, the food is excellent and just right. To visit without any hesitation!

The food is always great, never disappoints!

Food & service exceptional Especially Raj our waiter was looking after us so well Highly recommended this place

Really delightful service and delicious food. Will definitely return

The food was delicious, the staff was very friendly!

Turned up on Saturday night only to find that I had booked for the wrong day and was a week early ! Despite being extremely busy the staff worked hard to fit us in, which is typical of the excellent and attentive service for this restaurant. As ever the food was excellent, good, honest, tasty, proper Indian food and extremely generous portions. Excellent value. Would recommend without hesitation and we will definitely be going back. Thank you Chaskaa.

The waiter was helpful and kind. He helped with the selection and explained the menu. He paid special attention to make my grandson feel good

Amazing 🤩 after watching the rugby today in Edinburgh, we wanted a good Indian curry so decided to choose chaskaa had Lamb shank which is yummy and tender. Very pleasant experience, definitely recommend this place.

Ordered food online and chose deliver time for an hour later. Phoned up after delivery time to get told that our order hasn’t printed out for them so it had not been started. We could then wait another half hour for food or cancel order. No offer of anything to make up for this error.

Tasty, fresh, friendly. Good price. Thank you

In Edinburgh for a few days and took a chance on Chaskaa as we fancied a curry and reviews were good. Trust me this place is excellent. Meat really tender, portions very generous, nice atmosphere and staff really nice. Wouldn't go anywhere else if I lived here

In 2023, We were a Saudi 🇸🇦 family of 4 adult and one child visited Edinburgh for few days then we found this indian resturant with high score starts. We've been there and were all atonished with their very delecious😋 food. We think this is One of the best indian food in the city👍👍👍. Problem is the parking was so limited and charged. Now on 2025, we came again for the second time with mother in law and same as before, we liked the food so much. Thanks for the good food.

Delicious taste of all the curries we ordered. Amazing service by all the team there. Will definitely recommend this place if you are looking for an authentic Indian food taste.
