Tuk Tuk Indian Street Food Southside in Edinburgh, City of

Hakka Chilli was nice, Server was nice, in service. Food, atmosphere amazing, would recommend to my friends and surely revisit. Thank you Lelina.

Really enjoyed this Indian street food restraunt. The menu isn't as large and overwhelming as you will find at many Indian restraunts, which definitely helps in the decision-making process. They recommend 2-3 dishes per person, but I think this may have been too much for us. However, for those of bigger appetites, it would probably be about right. The popadoms and dips are an absolute must to start. The samosas and chaat are also excellent. We had the chicken staff curry, as well as a black lental daal. Both were fantastic, and the Pilau Rice and garlic naad paired up perfectly. I couldn't believe the overall bill, it was less than £20 per person, which felt like an incredible deal. It helps that it's BYOB, and they simply charge a very reasonable £2/per person "recycling fee" (corkage). Overall a great restaurant well worth a visit.

Amazing food and really nice staff! Would recommend 100%

We visited during our trip to Edinburgh. One of the best decisions. The food is really tasty and so authentic. All of us including my parents who currently live in India felt the food is at par (or maybe even better) than north Indian street food. Value for money too as the prices are very reasonable and portion size perfect. A must visit place if you want to have some really good north Indian street food.

Excellent food, it took us back to India. Service is quick and polite, the prices are amazing for the quality of food that is served.

2025 review: Quality of food has gone a bit downhill unfortunately! Hence, changed to 3 star 2023 review: Lovely staff, beautiful decorations and delicious food! What a class restaurant.

We were told this place was good, but it is amazing! The best paneer I have ever had, the service was great too and the staff were fab! This is just a great place, we will be back!

Food amazing and great service. Food came fast and people super kind.

We had best Indian food in Edinburgh at Tuk Tuk. Michael is very friendly. Our chef came personally to check in how the food was. Definitely recommend this place when you are visiting Edinburgh.

The dishes were very good and well seasoned! Special mention for the cauliflower which delights the taste buds.

Really great small plate Indian food. The lamb was tender, the chicken moist and delicious, the chick peas cooked just right. Excellent and thoroughly recommended.

Delicious food at an affordable price, friendly and efficient service!

The pav Bhaji was lovely specially the portion of the bhaji for the price was very good. I ordered the food on Deliveroo and got the items in 20 mins the Kuchumber was amazing as well and the Gulanjamun was very tasty, the Dal makhni was rich in flavours and the garlic naan was really nice the garlic and coriander paste stuck to the naan really added to the flavours. I would recommend the pav bhaji if anyone eats to grab something quick to eat . Would not recommend the Butter panner.

I’ve now been to Tuk Tuk (Drummond street) 3 times, twice for lunch and once for dinner. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all the food I’ve tasted so far (so far special mention to the aubergine and potato curry and the coconut and mango cake, but everything else has also been delicious), service is consistently good, staff members are friendly and attentive. I wish we didn’t live in a world where that’s an exception but the value for money is also ridiculously good for 2025 Edinburgh. I will be back again soon and be sure to spread the word.

We hired Tuk Tuk to cater a buffet for our wedding and were really pleased with the outcome. Food was delicious with plenty of choice and included three curries, two sides, rice, naan, poppadoms and dips for only £30pp. Service was professional and well executed on the day. We’ve eaten in the restaurant too and had a similarly good experience. Would recommend for events for sure!

Something delicious and spicy for everyone.

The food tasted great and the prices are very reasonable! Will definitely return!

Good food! Good people! Good music! Love the environment! Love from Tampa, Florida USA. And also from Bangladesh!

It was very delicious food. I have enjoyed it a lot.

Was looking for a quick lunch as I wandered around and this place was great! They had a 12£ lunch menu where you can choose a starter, curry, and rice or naan and it was so much good food! Really recommend this place if you’re in the area especially after a hike at Arthur’s Seat.

Had an amazing meal here tonight, tasty food and fantastic service. This is a wee gem.

Excellent food at a reasonable price. Eversmiling staff & good ambience. Not to miss their Samosa Chat !

Shortcut to tasty Indian food from UK

I absolutely love it here. Always delicious food and the people are so lovely. Can’t recommend enough

Absolutely loved the food! Vishnu and Ridhima were incredibly warm and welcoming — they took the time to chat and share great recommendations for things to do, which really helped as it’s my first time in Edinburgh. Such a lovely experience — I’d wholeheartedly recommend it!

Loving this place! My wife and I always frequented to this place as it has amazing food, and we would normally go there during lunchtime for their tiffin lunch set menu (very affordable with decent amount of food that you'll get with it!). Will definitely come here again in the future.

Had the tiffin: samosa, lamb lasooni and a garlic naan. Often eating out in central Edinburgh is overpriced, for the offering you receive. The tiffin is great value, and the menu has enough options to encourage repeat visits. Loved the decor - the Bollywood film posters made me immediately want to go home, and watch a Big B film. Service was attentive, yet relaxed. Lovely experience.

Selection off food all absolutely delicious

a really nice place with excelent Indian cuisine!

The food was amazing, staff were extremely polite- this restaurant is definitely a must try!

Love this place great staff and lovely food.

The food was very tasty and arrived very quickly. The service was good and efficient

Alicja and I ate delicious food. The food was so good that Alicja even wore it on her sweatshirt. We ordered, among other things, a spicy Indian goulash and it was so spicy that I had to pee with razor blades the next day. I recommend

Great food great vibes - love the small plates street food layout to menu

Really enjoyed being able to have a few plates and portions to share. Food was delicious and good value. Service very pleasant, too!

Perfect food, well welcomed. I reccomand

Great place to have Indian food!

Naan, Bombay chilli chicken, mango lassi and mango mastani was amazing. Chilli gobi and Bengal fish cakes were mouth watering! Totally worth it!

Been to Tuk Tuk a few times and have never been disappointed with the authentic Indian food and always service with a smile. One of my favourite places to eat in Edinburgh

Delicious, delicious, delicious! Best peshwari naan ever!🤤

Very friendly, great atmosphere, and absolutely delicious food! We followed staff recommendations and got beetroot bhaji, puri yoghurt bombs, butter paneer, and baby aubergine and potato curry, along with roti and garlic naan. I also had the masala chai and mango kulfi pop. One starter, curry, and side each was perfect for my mum and I coming in hungry! The only change I would make is that rice would have soaked up more of the delicious sauce on the butter paneer, so I'll probably get some next time. Definitely planning to come back for the 2 for 1 lassis on a Tuesday! The flavours, music, and colourful decor combine to create a treat for all the senses. Highly recommended!

The curry was very good. It might look like a small portion when you get it, but it is very filling. Very friendly and attentive staff. If you are craving a good curry definitely check this place out. No reservation necessary.

Amazing food and service!! Highly recommend.

Very good restaurant and friendly staff

Food taste is good. Quantity of food can be improved. Its very little amount for even one person.

Love coming here, the food is so tasty! It's quick and nice service, with a comfortable atmosphere :) and for a vegan I'm spoilt for choice :O

Delicious Indian food, enjoyed the different dishes. The Puri yogurt bombs were great, but the street curries are also really good.

Food was great. Service friendly and very accommodating. Room temperature was a bit cold

Great food, highly recommend samosa chaat, Lileena was super helpful!

Had a great experience at Tuk Tuk! The Mumbai-inspired interior was vibrant, and the tiffin box serving style was a fun touch. Babu was kind and friendly, making our visit even better. We ordered from the lunch menu—the food was flavorful, but portions could be bigger. Overall, a great spot for an authentic Indian street food vibe!

Fantastic food. Staff helped my friend who couldn't decide and put up with his constant questions without losing the smile 😂

Delicious food, very quick and nice service, the food came fast, clean and modern interior. Can only recommend it 😊

I was looking for food for sehri in ramadan .thank you so much staff and chef . Roti is still fresh till 3 am.

Excellent food, and great service. Well done.

What a delightful experience we had at Tuktuk! The atmosphere was so inviting, and the food was absolutely delicious. It was wonderful to share this meal with friends, and everyone in our group felt the same way about the quality of the dishes. The staff went above and beyond with their kindness, truly making us feel welcome. It was a heartwarming lunch that we all appreciated!

Very good taste,I can’t never believe this food. It’s really good.chilli cheese naan is very soft. Good service. Good staff.also service is good. Thank you.

Had a great experience there last Saturday. Food was great, very tasty. The service was great, gave us plenty time to peruse and order when we wanted. The decor and atmposphere was nice and relaxed. We were not rushed out either - so was nice to have a chat and a drink after our food. Highly recommended

Delicious food, nicely presented in an appealing decor. The service was fantastic. The crispy cauliflower starter was amazing!

Food was quality and service was exceptional. Lunch deal was good value too

Great food and lovely relaxed atmosphere, just what we needed before watching the rugby 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Lunch at Tuk Tuk Indian Street Food was nice. The staff were really friendly and the service was great. While the decor could be improved, the food was tasty, and I liked the bollywood music. Overall, it was good value for money.

Took us without a booking, made us feel very welcome. Food was fresh, tasty and piping hot😋🤩

Good food, Nice staff, Great vibes

Mike provided excellent service and the food was fantastic. Bombs and lollipops!

The food was outstanding. Tried the chef’s special and we both loved it. Warm and friendly service, very reasonably priced🧡💚

All was super good, my husband and myself we loved the food. The girls liked it too but found the non-spicy dishes a bit too spicy for them. Staf was friendly and chai super comforting

We came for a quick snack and really liked the interior design and setup (bollywood style). The food is great too and the service is top notch.

We were traveling from North to south and having driven a good amount of miles, we were in need for some afternoon snack and strong masala chai (Indian tea) midway, in Edinburgh for some energy around 4 pm. Google recommend Tuk Tuk when we searched chai and it fit our purpose. Vishnu and Ridhima welcomed us with a smile and were very good at recommending and quick to serve. The chai (tea) was perfect, couldn't have felt more like home. We ordered yogurt bombs and some Samosa's with it. Yogurt bombs were great. Samosa's could be better therefore the 4 stars on food. Would recommend and visit again for sure.

I absolutely loved the food at this place. The service from Desna was outstanding and I can’t wait to go back. It was very reasonable too.

It's a little out the way, but still only 5-10 mins walk from most parts of Old Town. Nice street style Indian food with an authentic taste. It was very quiet when we went, early Sunday afternoon but the bar area was set up for a birthday party later that day so likely has a better atmosphere later in the day maybe. Would certainly recommend for snacks / lunch.

Delish, amazing food. As for service ridhima was amazing!! We will be back

Had to come all the way from Glasgow, as Tuk Tuk in Glasgow closed a while back. Great food, good portion sizes and really good value for money. My wife and I had the tulsi chicken tikka, house chaat and bombay chilli chicken with a plain nan bread. I'd recommend this place for you to enjoy!

No idea, have not been in this restaurant....for many years. It used to be Kushis when Mrs kushi was still working her magic with lamb curries. My question is can you still go next door to the pub and bring back a pint. PSThe pub came and collected the empty glasses later. Great!

Fantastic Indian street food and BYOB. Enjoyed a delicious meal here tonight. Every dish was amazing. Can't wait to come back and try more!

Great meal. Authentic food. Great knowledgable service

El ambiente era encantador aquí y el personal era muy amable y eficiente. BYOB una gran opción y sin cargo por descorche en un weds, que era un buen bono! La comida era excelente. Me encanta la premisa de compartir platos más pequeños y todo lo que pedimos fue excelente. Preciosa especia y variedad de sabores. El dhaal negro estaba delicioso!

Authentic dive into Indian Street Food. Prompt service and good atmosphere. Slightly disappointed by the Pav Bhaji.

El menú era claro y fácil de entender. La comida llegó en 10 minutos. Los tamaños de las porciones eran más pequeños que el promedio, pero lo compensaban con gusto. ¡Cuidado! Si no eres fanático de las especias ten cuidado con lo que pides, ya que la mayoría de los platos tienen un pequeño toque.

Guys such an amazing food, staff were so friendly but the masala chai really??? are you guys serious about it? that’s not chai at all, please claim that as coloured water not even hot or flavoured.

Nice vibe restaurant and the food was super delicious. We came around 6pm, the restaurant looks busy but the food was served very quick. Highly recommend!

Amazing value for all dishes, with something to please everyone and all delicious (we took some home, too good to waste!). Brilliant central location - there was only one other person in when we visited so it appears to be a hidden gem. 4* for atmosphere as it's very vibrant but the music (whilst authentic Bollywood style) was a touch too loud for Sunday lunchtime, although it'd be great for a night out!! Will happily go back to try more :)

Nothing particularly exciting however good value and service was good and staff were very friendly.

Delicious food, dishes great for sharing. Garlic Naan a win, potato and aubergine my favourite, also had butter chicken and the lamb lasooni, also yum. Wish I lived here to visit every month

As you would expect from a street food place, fast and delicious food with warm welcoming service. Loving the decor and Chass in a copper glass! In a d out in half an hour, perfect

Good food and my name is Mohamed as the patron of the restaurant

Extremely recommend this place. Polite and friendly staff help you to make an order, amazing Lamb Lasooni and cute atmosphere.

Varied and delicious dishes! And the staff is incredibly nice!

Come often and always order the same dishes!!! Lamb biryani, railway station curry and potato and baby aubergine curry.... so good! But absolute favourite is the samosa chaat!!!! The best!!!!!

Better Ingredients better pizza...Papa Johns

Absolutely loved this restaurant. Delicious food, with really inventive starters and desserts - quite unlike any other Indian I've been to. Very reasonably priced, and a great range of drinks too.

The food was delicious and flavourful! The curry portions are small but then you can try more.

We had dinner at TukTuk Restaurant in Edinburgh, and it was a lovely experience overall. The ambiance was charming, with a touch of Indian culture that added a vibrant and cozy vibe to the place. We started our meal with chai, which was delightful and set the tone for the evening. We also ordered some chaat, biryani, naan, and gravy dishes. The food was flavorful and satisfying, though the portion sizes were a bit smaller than we expected. The service was excellent—our server (I believe her name was Lilly or something similar) was attentive and friendly, making sure we were well taken care of throughout our meal. All in all, we had a great time at TukTuk and would recommend it for anyone looking for a good Indian dining experience in Edinburgh. Thank you for a lovely evening!

Today I had Indian food at this restaurant and to my surprise the food was not upto the mark as reviewed by others and the prices. Moreover, I would suggest the owner/ chef to consider keeping 'Paneer sabzi' in 'desert menu' rather in the main course.

Cannot stress enough how good the food and service was in this establishment. Very reasonably priced, very quickly greeted served and seated too. Ate here twice in 4 days.

We had a great lunch, with very good service and an affordable price.

During my stay in Edinburgh I visited these place couple of times. Simple menu with delicious dishes. The staff was very polite and helpful. Also the service was accurate. Great place with reasonable prices.

A really delicious meal for a great price and the waiter was such a sweet guy:) I would definitely come back!!

The food was super good 🤩 definitely recommended :)

Had a superb meal here this evening. One of the tastiest Indian meals I've had. Went with my 7 year old who also loved it, having not been that interested in Indian food in the past. Lovely service too. Very friendly and attentive. I'll be back soon!

Fabulous place, lovely staff and delicious food. The Puri yoghurt bombs have changed my life. 🤣 We will be back!
