The Prahna Indian Grill Edinburgh in Edinburgh, City of

Fantastic food really pleasant and helpful staff nice surroundings all at a fair price ..

It was amazing the staff was friendly and attentive, the food was ever better the only thing I was disappointed in was that they were out of Masala Chai and I was really looking forward to it , I guess I just have to go back.

The staff are amazing, very attentive. We had our toddler with us and they engaged with him, letting him play make noise. This made us feel so much more comfortable. The cocktails were great, complimentary appetiser from the kitchen, starters, mains and desert, all of it was delicious, arrived quickly and well presented. I would highly recommend it, it’s perfect for families which makes it a hit for us as we go everywhere with our baby.

We found this restaurant by chance, and we are glad we did. The fusion Indian food is delicious, spiced right and not heavy or oily. We liked the Grilled scallops and Monkfish tikka. We found the portions the right size, and the service was friendly and engaging.

I’ve had afternoon tea, and this is better; brilliant Indian flavors coupled with the elegance and class of afternoon tea, top-notch staff! They had this pumpkin pastry that was out of this world! Staff was extremely friendly, desires our input on pastries and food quality, personally spoke to us. Been to afternoon tea in London, and this was by a fair measure superior to our experience there, and very nearly half the price to boot!

Service and food was excellent 👍

Cosy, good service and lovely food. Fantastic raita and the most wonderful naan with garlic.

Very good Indian cuisine, wonderful staff and great atmosphere! I love to try Indian food all around the World - from Delhi, Kolkata, Varanasi, Jakarta, Bali, San Francisco, and obviously from Warsaw, where I live. I know there is a lot of Indian people in the UK and Scotland, so I couldn't wait to taste my beloved dishes also in Edinburgh. I am not disappointed. The Prahna restaurant has all flavours it should have as a 4,8/5 rating place. Simply delicious! And that ceiling!! :)

As always above and beyond outstanding. Food, ambience and staff - just fabulous. Thank you for making it so each and every time. Monkfish starter was divine and mixed grill ….second to none. As for the cocktails and mocktails…perfect accompaniment.

Delicious food with a unique taste and presentation. Love their portions and really delicious. The interior is amazing and feels like a wonderland 😀 The staff was also supportive.

Delicious food and friendly service, comfortable and cosy atmosphere, Would highly recommend.

Super place - prawns are absolutely amazing 😍

Best food in out 2 week vacation in Scotland. Realy superb. Very beautiful Place as well

First time trying Prahna Grill. We tried it after seeing all the positive reviews. We had the starter of cheesy black pepper chicken tikka. It was the best part of the meal. Slightly crisp outside from the grill and soft and tender. This was followed by a lovely prawn curry. However the raan a prahna lacked flavour. The service was not very good but I am hoping that they were maybe having an off day. It is expensive. A starter, two mains, rice and naan and 1 drink came to about £68.

We had Purana Restaurant cater for both the pre-wedding Ladies’ Sangeet on the 22nd of September 2024 and our daughter’s wedding on the 23rd, and I am beyond impressed! First, a huge shout-out to **Arun**, the owner, who completely smashed it on both days! He and his team took care of every little detail, making sure everything was flawless from start to finish. Arun’s dedication and hands-on approach truly made both events a grand success. The food across both days was absolutely amazing. From the vibrant and festive Sangeet night to the elegant wedding reception, the chefs at Purana created a menu that left all our guests raving. The dishes were bursting with flavor, and the presentation was top-notch. We received endless compliments from our guests, many saying it was some of the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding! A massive thanks to all the staff who worked their socks off to ensure everything ran smoothly. Their professionalism, hard work, and friendly service made a huge difference, helping create a relaxed and joyous atmosphere. If you’re looking for exceptional food and service for any event, I highly recommend Purana Restaurant. They truly exceeded our expectations and made our daughter’s wedding celebrations unforgettable. Thank you, Arun, and your fantastic team!!

We managed to get a walk-in table and the meal was fabulous. The area was really wonderfully decorated and the staff were very attentive.

One of the best Indian restaurants I've ever been to. Ambience is cozy and tasteful. Speaking of taste - this was absolutely top notch, and the service and staff friendliness added to the overall experience. So many interesting choices on the menu.

Absolutely fantastic food, friendly staff and cozy!

Brilliant place fantastic food and amazing staff, the food is fabulous. Get yourself along.

Very tasty food but portion sizes were a bit below average for the price. I was still hungry at the end so don't under order. £3 for a tiny roti. Only had Cobra on tap that night. Service was very good.

Fantastic meal to celebrate a special occasion. Food was delicious, service was faultless and beautiful restaurant. Didn't catch the waiters name but they were especially welcoming and set the vibe, even cracked us up with a very subtle joke. All the staff were lovely.

It has been more than pleasant to dine there (3 times I’m one weeks time). The curry dish with duck is the best we have had in lifetime 🤩👌‼️ A very very pleasant place to stay and dine out Indian food!!!!

Great Indian food and the Scottish Indian fusion was a real culinary treat.

Me and my fiancé had an amazing meal here during our trip! The restaurant itself is incredibly pretty inside and the food was incredible! The staff were also very friendly and welcoming, especially Leonard who absolutely made our day! Highly recommend this place 😊

Here today for late lunch food and service was fantastic will be back for sure

Wow. What a meal. The atmosphere was lovely, the music and the vibe. Dishes cooked beautifully, the lamb and chicken were both tender. The dishes were very tasty, full of flavour.

Nice flavorful food ..okra achari was very good ... Lamb bhuna was also yum.. u can't go wrong with dal tadka. Very close to airport

Great food. We sat right next to the chef's window which was a little hot and the aircon wasn't working even after having asked which took the edge off. Avoid those seats!!

Came here for a family birthday, staff were so kind, service was quick and efficient for a large group, and the food is AMAZING. Favourite Indian in Edinburgh by miles.

This is an Indian restuarant with a difference. Went there for the first time on Sunday for Breakfast. Delightful experience - beautiful environment, delicious food, fab friendly waiters and at an affordable price. Would highly recommend - can't wait to return there for dinner or Afternoon Chai!

We absolutely loved our meal here, the Staff were perfect and the service very fast

Super delicious food outside of the tourist area. Anyone who ends up in this corner should definitely stop by 😃

Great restaurant in West Edinburgh (prob one of highlights). Really nice food, and particularly good if you like Indian fish or seafood dishes. Always packed - service friendly but just occasionally just a touch over-stretched. Not your cheapeat Indian, but you get what you pay for here - I think it's worth the small premoum

10/10 from the booking process to the moment we left. Such a warm welcome from the wonderful bartender and great food suggestions from the waiter. If you enjoy delicious, aromatic seafood, you’ll love Prahna! Dishes were bursting with prawns, mussels, salmon - really good food cooked to perfection. Have been recommending to friends and family and would definitely return in a heartbeat.

A medium sized, beautifully decorated place. Had Spinach and Apricot Tikki - must try, it’s good and a bit different from usual dishes. Also had Aachari Bhindi and Dal, the food didn’t have excessive oil and tastes good. You can also try Masala chai - amazing taste, not from machine.

Nice place and really good food. Happy waiters too. Ask for the guy with the birdshirt.

First time here but definitely not the last. Fantastic hosting by the lovely staff and the food was delicious to boot. Came with family for my daughters birthday and as we'd not been before our waiter described all the dishes and made some recommendations which we tried. We started with grilled lamb chops and Corstorphine chicken tikka with gun powder potatoes. Lovely succulent meat perfectly grilled and spiced. Moving on to the mains, we ordered lamb rogan josh, nalli ka gosht Hyderabadi chicken biryani and some salad. Food arrived not too long after. All the dishes were beautifully presented and tasted divine. Kids are usually non commital but both were very happy and really appreciated their dishes. The Wife also was very impressed and suggested that Prahna would be our local from now on. Praise indeed, so congratulations to all on a job very well done.

Busy restaurant on the west side of Edinburgh. Some classic Indian restaurant curries along with many innovative Indian style dishes.

As always great food and excellent team at Prahna. The team go out of their way to make you welcome.

We go regularly to this restaurant, This time the experience was horrible. I booked on phone the afternoon tea for 6 of us 1day before as recommended on the website, when I reached with my friends and family the waiter said there are only 3 afternoon tea left, when I asked how this can happen and what’s the point of booking 1 day before, the guy said I called you this morning and you didn’t pickup the phone, I couldn’t believe what he was saying, I got little mad and the guy said I am not going to serve you, and we had to leave the restaurant. It does not worth spoiling your time and loading your mind even though the food is good. I can’t understand how this guy survive in service industry with his attitude. I highly recommend avoiding this place.

Fish tikka was rubbery, small portions. Not worth it.

We had breakfast here and it was absolutely delicious! The flavours of all of the dishes were exquisite and nothing like I’ve ever had before! The servers were so friendly and we had a lovely breakfast! I had the best chai tea ever here too!

Excellent food Being a vegetarian i have a choice to eat n perfect indian test

Unique fusion of Scottish and Indian food, both sections will enjoy

The place is good although limited options for vegetarians. The vegetarian dishes we had was very tasty and very friendly staff. Amazing naan bread and the dessert was delicious. Must try the kulfi moose and chocolate semi fredo!!. However the portion Size for the main dishes could be slightly bigger!! The complimentary golgappa was yummy!! My boys loved it.

Had another tasty meal with family and friends the food was off the scale delicious - every dish was - I had the lucknow lamb it was very very nice - we also had some piña colada’s they were so good. The service and atmosphere is great - everything made with love and passion which you can see and taste! Well done tram Prana

A good choice on the menu and the food was tasty. We particularly enjoyed the fish curry dish. The staff were friendly and I’d recommend this restaurant.

Amazing atmosphere! Liam is a jewel! Wonderful friendly and attentive staff! Food was excellent!! Highly recommend this lovely restaurant!!

Fabulous menu with some quirky and unique options. Service is wonderful and attentive, cannot recommend highly enough.

Fantastic restaurant, lovely atmosphere, great service, lovely staff and amazing food. Well worth all their fantastic trip advisor reviews! Would definitely recommend visiting here if you are in the area. We had the Coronation Street Chicken & Haggis Pakora to start followed by Butter Chicken & Lamb Rogan Josh. All were delicious, as was the street food ‘pre starter’ we were kindly given. Keep doing what you do 😊

Extraordinary food, gentle service with a smile from the whole staff. To all the Belgians going to Edinburgh (and others): go there!

I am always skeptical at perfect reviews….. This is where my skepticism ends. This place is truly a gem. From the staff to the food everything was amazing. The flavors were well blended and very savory. The spice was not unbalanced with the dish. The depth of the flavors was a real joy to the taste buds. Thanks to the staff for taking care of me for my birthday.

All 10. The food, the attention and the place. A good idea to have dinner here on our first night in the city. It was in front of our hotel and without a reservation they attended us despite it being full. A wait of barely 10 minutes and we were seated at a table. They previously offered complimentary juice to our little son. The truth is that it is one of the best Indian restaurants we have visited on our trips around the world! We would love to return ♥️

Amazing food, great service and absolutely loved the ambience.. visiting from USA and this is one of best Indian restaurants I have been to so far.. tried gun powder potato, monk fish tikka, grilled prawns, konkani fish & chicken dum biryani.. konkani fish being my favorite each and every dish is presented well and tasted great!

First and foremost, Prahna is spelled as Prana inside the restaurant. My family came here for dinner and we found our experience to be average. The place is small yet bustling on a weeknight even and the ambience and decor are top-notch. However we found the taste of the food to be mostly middling and the portions were quite small for the prices being charged. The menu options are also very limited and the servers kept forgetting to bring serving spoons for the dishes that were being brought out. How is anyone supposed to serve themselves without serving spoons? Anyways, we returned from our experience somewhere in between overwhelmed and underwhelmed.

The food was fantastic, wine was delicious, staff were friendly and attentive and the ambience was relaxed. Great place to eat out! Thanks Guys.

Went here with family and friends, food choices on some of the menu are tailored to Scottish tastes. Menu is quite unique for an Indian but in a good way. I found the standard of the food excellent overall. A real bustle to the atmosphere as it's a busy place but it all adds to the enjoyment. You do need to book as its nearly always well booked up in advance. Good location as its easy to find and on a main public transport route if your not driving. Highly recommended 😊

This has to be one of the best Indian restaurants in Edinburgh. Fantastic meal, great atmosphere and excellent service.

Excellent food and service! Would recommend to anyone keen for some indian food.

Came across from the Netherlands to meet my parents and hand dinner here for a catch up. Lovely staff, very friendly. Food was incredible and very fresh. Even on a busy and packed Saturday night we didn't have to wait long at all for anything.

Full english breakfast with a twist. Cooked with so much love and attention. ❤️

I visit Edinburgh at least twice a year, and always try to plan this so I can come to the Prahna for the extraordinary brunch and chai tea served here! It never disappoints.

Aromatic, Delicious, Flavorful, mouth-watering, Tasty, Yummy.

This was yet another visit for dinner, having previously been a few weeks ago for afternoon tea. Staff were excellent and the quality of the food was outstanding! I would highly recommend this restaurant, you will not be disappointed!

This place was absolutely delightful. The curry was sooooooo good! 10/10 would recommend for anyone likes Indian food.

Very nice place and more quiet then in the old town of Edinburgh

Treated to the classic afternoon here by partner and it was nothing short of stunning! The service was nice and pleasant and it was thoroughly enjoyable!

The Prahna Voyage was absolutely amazing, it did not disappoint in anyway whatsoever. Team Prahna were amazing, knowledgeable and attentive as always. The ambience was beautiful and reflected the restaurant ambience too. The food and new desserts were absolutely divine!!Great concept for birthdays and hen/stag parties a canal boat with DJ just for yourselves. We had so much fun singing and dancing off the calories 😂 can’t wait for the next one. 🙌🏼Highly recommend this. Saj

Had high tea. Amazing food. Highly recommend. 👍

Wonderful Afternoon Chai! Such a beautiful selection and presentation on a gorgeous stand. Lovely attentive waitress too. Love it all...Will be back !

Just had the Afternoon Chai, it was wonderful.

Thank you lots to the amazing staff liam leo aisha xx the food was fantastic xx great night as always xx

Exceptionally good food. I had the Malabar Grilled Sea Bass and it was one of the best Indian dishes I've ever tasted. I can't wait to go back to have it again!

A lovely meal with great service.

Possibly the best Indian food that I have ever had. It is pricey but really good. Loved it.

We recently had the pleasure of entrusting Prahna Indian Grill with catering for our daughter's engagement, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish. Arun, the owner, proved to be an invaluable asset, as he personally attended to every detail, ensuring that our event was nothing short of extraordinary. Catering for 150 guests can be a daunting task, but Arun and his team handled it with grace and expertise. From menu planning to execution, they were attentive and accommodating, making sure that every guest's dietary preferences were met. With a significant portion of our guests being vegetarian, the variety and quality of options provided were exceptional, earning praise from all who attended. The food itself was a highlight of the evening, with flavors that tantalized the taste buds and left everyone wanting more. Arun and his talented chefs demonstrated their culinary prowess, crafting dishes that were both delicious and beautifully presented. It was evident that they put their heart and soul into every dish, ensuring that each bite was a culinary delight. Beyond the food, Arun's dedication to making our day special was truly commendable. His warmth and attentiveness added a personal touch that made all the difference, leaving a lasting impression on our family and guests. In conclusion, I cannot speak highly enough of Prahna Indian Grill and the exceptional service provided by Arun and his team. Whether you're planning a small gathering or a large event, you can trust them to deliver an unforgettable culinary experience that will elevate any occasion.

This was the best Indian restaurant I've ever been to! Chicken is absolutely perfect. So tasty and cooked tp perfection. We'll be back very soon!

The food is amazing - very tasty and the staff were great. Atmosphere was lovely even for a Monday night😎

Great meal, spiced just right. Very tender Naan.

Food is old not fresh same sauce most off the food and served cold.

Amazing food, staff and ambience! Brings you the perfect comfort food to suit your palate!! Loved the friendly staff, very welcoming and hearty!!

Absolutely fabulous time on the Prahna Chai Voyage afternoon tea. Good was heavenly, best afternoon tea I’ve had! The staff were brilliant keeping everyone entertained and glasses topped up. Start to finish, the attention to detail was spectacular and can not recommend highly enough. Will be sure to return again.

Fantastic staff and fantastic food what more could you ask for 5 star all the way love love love it ❤️ it was a special birthday and they sang to us and gave a lovely cake 🍰 makes the experience more personal

Booked a birthday lunch here for Fiona and was impressed, it was my first time.

Best Indian in Edinburgh. Decent brunch as well.

Wish I could rate them 6 stars! Outstanding service and food. We accidentally arrived too early, before they were open, but they really kindly seated us anyway and got us drinks while they finished setting up to open. Service from every single person was so warm and friendly, and the food was impeccable. They were able to accommodate a change in one of the dishes to make it vegetarian with no problem. Fantastic all round!

Friendly staff, great food reasonable price! Love chai masala tea.

Great food, whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Highly Recommend coming here

We were a party of 5 visiting Pranha to celebrate a special birthday and we were not disappointed. This was our first visit and Prahnas menu is a twist on traditional Indian food no pakoras and poppadums here but a selection of sumptuous starters including monkfish tikka style, scallops and giant tandoori prawns. Our mains included a seafood medley, chicken kadai curries and Lamb Lucknow ..wow all dishes were beautifully presented and we all agreed were among the best dishes we had tasted in an Indian Restuarant setting. Special mention to Liam and his team for their outstanding service and hospitality and for a specially presented birthday cocktail and birthday dessert with candle to help me celebrate that special birthday. This is a restaurant at the top of its game and I would highly recommend. We look forward to returning very soon to sample more of their fabulous menu offerings. A definite 10 out of 10 from us.

Lovely restaurant, with friendly staff, the staff were attentive but not intrusive, some nice little touches, water to the table some tasty pre dinner nibbles. The food was excellent we had the grill for 2 everything was cooked to perfection and the cocktails were great I would highly recommend.

We have been wanting to try Prahna for a while, so we were delighted when we finally managed to go. We were greeted as we arrived by very nice friendly staff. This high level of service continued for the whole evening, and a special mention to Raj, our waiter, who was very good. The food lived up to our high expectations too. We will certainly go back again.

Great brekkie with an Indian twist. Who knew!

Tasty Indian food. Good customer service.

Excellent food and excellent service. Liam is extremely helpful and engaging and makes the experience one to remember.

Husband and I called in on the off-chance of being able to dine. We were in luck. Stunning surroundings. Fabulous food. I definitely recommend the pink crayfish. Staff were exemplary. An amazing restaurant, I'll be sure to recommend to friends if they ever travel to Edinburgh. We left very satisfied. Thank you.

Excellent food with the portions being just the right size. Friendly staff and reasonably fast from order to dining so I'll be going again.

Love this place! The food is really, really good. Something different. Manager is lovely. A great night out!

Ridiculously good food, amazing service and just an absolute beautiful place to be. Can’t fault a single thing about this restaurant. We had afternoon tea here with a massive group of people and it was faultless. Their evening menu was perfect so we just have to go back for breakfast now.

Afternoon tea was amazing, every little things was so tasty and beautifully presented! Highly recommend. Staff were really accommodating and went above and beyond and delivered a fantastic afternoon experience

i never go out of my way to leave a review somewhere but have to for this lovely resturant! please try this place out! really good service and great portion size with reasonable prices, everything was top notch, including the salmon and lamb chops, as well as the authentic lamb curry. Staff were very attentive, and really appreciated them bringing out the cake with candles and all the staff singing happy birthday. it is quite busy but atmosphere was lovely. they even give a free appetiser of pani puri to all customers which is a lovely touch. food was quick to come. 100% will be back.
