Vinyasa in Edinburgh, City of

Visited vinyasa which was conveniently located near the Travelodge. Not sure if Indian restaurant or Bengali . There was a sign advertised award winner from 2018. Asked for recommendations from the staff as to popular dishes but nothing was forthcoming. Chose the seekh kebab and chicken and Keema Curry. The seekh kebab was ok but not amazing. The chicken and keema curry was just a chicken curry there was no Keema in it which was quite disappointing.

The food here was absolutely amazing, extremely fresh and well prepared. I would highly recommend.

Dined here on our last night in Edinburgh as was across the road from the hotel we were staying at. Was a nice and relaxed restaurant, rice was good and cheese naan was excellent. Ordered a meat dish for a main. Unfortunately, the meat was quite chewy and was unable to finish it because of that. Service was excellent as was the atmosphere.

Staff were amazing constantly checking in on us and our food, polishing plates before handing to us, Ferrero Rocher and luxury hand towels on exit. It's a real formal location I'd reccomend. Food was nice however lamb was extremely chewy and took a while to finish dish due to this. Some sauces lacked any real taste. However this is definitely one of the best Bangladeshi/Indian restaurants in the whole of Edinburgh. You must visit!! Especially if your staying in the local Travelodge as its only across the walk 15 seconds if that! If I return to Edinburgh again I'll certainly consider revisiting this amazing location.

Lovely food and friendly staff. Shame we were only people in but we were early. Recommend the salmon curry.

My partner and I are visiting Edinburgh for the weekend and today we decided to try out Vinyasa.. I just have to say this food was possibly the best Indian cuisine we have ever eaten. Every dish had that something special. The staff are 10/10 and the atmosphere perfect for a a little date night. I was 100% recommend trying this food😍

Me and my family who have had many indian cuisines were keen to try this one, I am writing behalf of myself, we got takeout, food was so SWEET, it was unnecessarily sweet and it too much. The chicken tikka masala tasted like they put ketchup in it. There were almost no other flavors in it. However service was descent and atmosphere seemed nice

Found online and visited for dinner. The menu is extensive so it was a difficult decision but we opted for lamb korma and lamb rogan josh with saffron rice. The lamb was tender and perfectly cooked. We ate it all :)

The best Lamb I have ever had in a restaurant ever. Cooked to perfection. Superb curry. Will definitely come back when in Edinburgh again..

I had a great dining experience at Vinyasa Restaurant in Edinburgh. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The service was friendly, though a bit slow at times. The ambiance was lovely, creating a pleasant atmosphere. I would definitely return for another meal, with the hope that the service might be a bit quicker next time.

Bon restaurant indien. L'accueil et le service sont rapides, discrets et sympathiques. La cuisine est bonne et en quantité. Seul le cadre m'a semblé un peu terne mais il pleuvait dehors, il y avait peu de monde et pas d'ambiance sonore.

Second visit for my friend and I. We stayed at travel lodge just opposite, just off Royal Mile so a fantastic location. The food was as delicious as ever and staff friendly, helpful and efficient.

Great starters and mains. Definitely worth checking out if you are looking for Indian food. The briyania and masala were great. The briyania had a great flavor and was not over powering. The Tikka masala is sweet. The tandoori chicken was great in both.

Great food at reasonable prices

Great food and great service. Staff were very attentive and friendly

My wife and I had the vegetable biryani, lamb chop starter, mutar paneer, and garlic naan all of which were excellent. Service and ambiance were all first rate. Highly Recommended.

A three generation visit on our end; the staff couldn't have been lovelier. I brought two Indian Curry novices with me and our server had the great suggestion of getting poppadoms as a starter. The currys were so flavourful, Gaelic nan was so soft and crispy all at the same time, rice cooked to perfection, and the ice cream for dessert, so so delicious. Shall be coming again. Thank you Vinyasa

Three of us ate there before attending the Tattoo. The restaurant is clean, well decorated and comfortable. The staff were attentive and engaged very well with us. The food selection was wide, when it arrived it was tasty and delicious; it was reasonably priced and good value. Some reviews mention having to pay £10 for a jug of tap water, but that is definitely NOT true. We enjoyed our experience at Vinyasa and would definitely eat there again.

I went last night with my family and I did decided try the chicken bhuna and it was delightful. The flavors, spices were absolutely perfect . I would recommend this restaurant to everyone

We chose this restaurant as it was near to the Travel Lodge and were very pleased with our choice. There were a wide range of dishes on offer and those we chose were excellent and good quantities. The price seemed very reasonable too, compared with many places where we had eaten over the holidays. As for the staff, they could not do enough for us and were fun and engaging. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Vinyasa.

Wasn’t too impressed really looked forward to this after the viewing the menu , however when we arrived we got handed a ‘festival menu’ it’s half of the food took off the online menus and prices increased to make money off the fringe festival goers . Absolute money making con and service was rude . Also didn’t think it was hygienic how the kitchen staff kept floating between the toilets and kitchen with their aprons on either very bizarre

This was a returning visit for us, slightly odd experience (not quite as odd as the last time we were there when the entire Scottish Labour Party front bench were there too, but that's another story and not really a reflection on the restaurant’s service). The food was as good as ever, but the service was pretty off. There seemed to be an army of young waiters but none of them seem to have had any training in how to deal with customers. Pretty rude and offhand. Worse, we felt like we were being rushed out of the restaurant, which given how little the waiters were doing to make this a nice experience, we decided to slow up and not let ourselves be rushed out. OK this is the height of the Edinburgh Festival, so we assumed that the rushing was because they had some kind of large booking coming. So, we watched with amusement as we sat there and the restaurant got more and more empty and no one else seemed to be arriving. Maybe everyone else had heard about the service too. Not sure I'll be back.

Limited menu .. overly sweet dishes with very little spice. Lamb dish made with flavorless meat. Service ok Watch out for the service charge of 15%

Ordered a takeaway. Food was delicious. Service excellent. Will order from them again before the Fringe ends.

Great food, good service, everything you'd want!!! Highly recommended!

Probably the best Indian restaurant I've been to in a long time. Can't find anything to fault with this place.

The staff is so friendly and repeatedly ask if everything's ok. I order the chicken tikka biryani and i really like it.

Vinyasa's restaurant at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival continues to captivate with its culinary prowess, leaving me astounded during both last year's visit and this year's return. The restaurant's serene ambiance blends seamlessly with the symphony of flavors presented on each plate. The exceptional food quality is a testament to the chef's artistry, crafting dishes that are both visually stunning and a delight to the palate.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal here last night

Fantastic service. Food was very yummy. Very good value for money. Special fried rice was delightful

Don’t go here. Charged £10 for a jug of tap water. They also required us to pay £15 for a service charge. We came on a quiet Tuesday night. They didn’t tell us/give us the heads up that they were going to charge that. The portion sizes were small considering the price. Food was okay. Not terrible.

Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Best Indian food I've eaten yet. Highly Recommend when in Edinburgh.

Excellent curry in Edinburgh and also very good service, I don’t live here I live in Surrey so I would say this is special 😀

The food was incredible and the waiters were very nice and friendly. 10/10 would recommend.

Amazing food and service!!! We recommend 100%, we are even thinking of coming back tomorrow :)

Had the most delicious meal here! Everything was cooked to perfection!! The staff were pleasant polite & very easy to chat too!

A good curry house, we went for here for convience really as it was over the road from the Travelodge we were staying at. We hadn’t booked and were seated straight away. Food was nice, not as good as our local at home in Manchester but nothing wrong with it either.

The food is fantastic, but the service is just terrible! Very unfriendly and rude. Popadoms were soft and stale tasting

Food was quite good but don’t expect good service. Ambience was just okay.

Good Food but timing is different from what is mentioned on Google

The place was empty when we went there, food was great, staff could do with a smile .

Excellent customer service and good food

first time in the vinyasa restaurant would recommend to family and friends will be back soon . just moved in locally will make this my local bengali and indian restaurant.

Had a great meal here on 23rd June, me and my friends had a variety of poppadoms, starters and main meals all very satisfied!!

Superb Indian food. Great vegetarian choices, the restaurant is very clean with quick efficient service and friendly staff. The food is so good, we were in Edinburgh for 4 nights and had dinner 3 nights at Vinyasa.

One of the staff recommended us “Joipuri balti” that dish was amazing🤤🤤 it’s not in menu but dish was amazing.

We tried their special curry’s . it was more than satisfying both for taste and quantity. The waiters are very polite. I would recommend it.

Four friends and I went for a graduation meal at Vinyasa and we really enjoyed our experience. The king prawn madras was very well made and so flavourful. The staff were attentive and friendly. We will be back

Me with my 5 friends went to try Vinyasa restaurant. The reviews weren’t lying their food is so delicious and the staffs are so helpful and active. One of the staff recommended us a curry it’s called Lamb Jaipuri balti and I thought let’s give...

Together with 3 friends we ate a meal this restaurant following the good reviews. Unfortunately, they must have had a bad day as both the grumpy service and tasteless curries really stood out and sadly not in a way they would have wanted them to....

We booked in advance because of reviews - and we admit the food was delicious. All very tasty indeed. Do not be put off by outside of restaurant (we nearly were) - it’s worth going in and experiencing. A slower paced more laid back place...

The atmosphere was a level up from many Indian restaurants which can be quite plain. You felt like you were dining rather than just "eating dinner". With a large menu, it was easy to find something to enjoy. The food was excellent and the service...

On a side street off the Royal Mile, Vinyasa is a nice alternative to the pubs and pocket sized posh restaurants that attract tourist traffic in Old Town. Half a dozen locals were dining when we arrived, fresh off the train from London. Warm, friendly...

Food is good. Appreciate if the person who takes order smiles. May be replace him with a girl. Also feel that treating Indians (not good) and others (very well treated) are also different.

De vacaciones y callejeando lo encontramos y nos llamó la atención que haya sido premiado en 2018, entramos y nos atendieron para cenar sin haber hecho reserva, eso nos gustó mucho. La comida india nos gusta mucho y la verdad nos encantó, buen sabor, presentación y cantidad adecuada. La atención del personal muy amable. Muy recomendable, todo muy sabroso.

Very nice. Good food and really kindly staff. Highly recommended.

Came here on our first visit several years ago. It was that good we said we would return next time we visited Edinburgh. We weren’t disappointed as it was still lovely

Great experience. 2nd time there and it was as good as the first time 👌🏼 The ppl there are extremely kind with there clients

We visited last night around 6pm, didnt reserve a table, but plenty availability. The staff were very attentive, the food was so tasty and big portions. Piping hot and full of flavour. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area. Thank you so much for a...

I was stuck outside Vinyasa close to closing time and needed a favour. The manager and his staff bent over backwards to accommodate e my special needs in a way many others wouldn't have - so cheers to great people at Vinyasa. The neighbouring hotel...

Vinyasa is one of the best Indian restaurants I've visited in Edinburgh. Their service is top notch, and their food is delicious. Hats off to their chef. I will definitely come back again.

Found this place from Tripadvisor after checking out previous reviews. Turned up early evening without a booking, No problem getting a table. Very good food and service.

Served 13 slightly drunk people and the staff were amazing and let us all settle before taking orders and were very polite and friendly....After taking all the orders which seems to take for ever with a few being a little drunk but the staff waited...

Don’t go here. They accepted a lunch booking for 1300 and don’t open until 1500. Totally out of order. Don’t deal with these people

Booked this after seeing the good reviews and was not disappointed. Friendly discrete service. Delicious flavoursome food.Really enjoyable meal.

My husband and I were through in Edinburgh for one night in a Travelodge and fancied a meal in an Indian Restaurant. We spent ages trying to decide but eventually settled on the Vinyasa right across the road and we’re so glad we did. An...

Visited with my son and husband. I had the lamb chops main and it was delicious! Id recommend it. Everybody was really happy with their dishes. My son (5) loved chatting to Babu the member of staff. He says he would like to come back...

Sunday evening meal. Poppadoms and pickles. Chicken bhuna and chicken mango. Fantastic. Served with mushroom rice and garlic Naan. Served by the attentive Babu. Can highly recommend. Lovely meal. Reasonable price. Nice staff.

Took my wife there and was over charged for our meal! Not happy as was very expensive for what we got! Won’t be going back!

Arrived in Edinburgh for the weekend after a longer train journey than expected and was in real need of a good feed. My friends had already finished their starters when I arrived, so I quickly ordered a beer, Madrassi Sag Gosht (my go to Indian...

We came all the way from London to Edinburgh for a holiday and we saw this restaurant across the street from our hotel. We thought we would try it out. We thoroughly enjoyed the food. We would definitely go again and recommend it.

We had dinner at Vinyasa one evening while we were in Edinburgh. My husband ordered Sabzi Jalfrezi and I ordered a lamb dish. Both were very good.

Probably the worst experience of Indian food you could ever have. Save your money! We travelled 6 hours to Edinburgh from the Midlands and we visited this place based on positive reviews we'd seen on TripAdvisor. Boy were we dissapointed! We were told the last...

We used to eat here a lot as it was really good, and we used to have functions here as well because it was really good. Used to be really good food, good service and be good value. That was in the past. We decided...

One of the best Indian cuisine restaurant in Edinburgh. The staffs are very courteous. Food is mouth watering and service is really great . Mr Babu our server was one the most humble staff there . Must visit for yummy Indian food in Edinburgh ❤️❤️❤️

so when this place first opened and ran for a while it was pretty good. we thought how lucky to have an option like this in the neighborhood. then came covid and it shut down, new owners came along year or two later, kept the...

Delicious food with a warm and friendly welcome and attentive service. Asked for a paneer swap - no problem at all, and also tried the chicken karahi which was fantastic.

I got Chicken Jalfrezi, Chicken Tikka Masala and some Naan for takeaway. It was really good. Would get more. Would recommend to anyone.

Had a lovely meal with great service here. Just what we needed after a long day as tourists. The food was good and the waiters were very attentive.

Not sure who wrote the four plus star reviews that encouraged us to visit during the Festival. Very average food and lacking in atmosphere.

Went as a party of three, ordered pathia my usual. It was delicious. I would def go back if returning to Edinburgh. Staff were friendly, didn’t wait for long to order or to be served. Place was clean and convenient to our hotel. There was...

I came from Manhattan,Newyork to visit Edinburgh festival with my friends and family.The restaurants was so busy and packed but still their service was awesome.We tried their non vegetarian set meal and Satkara lamb.Food was soo yummy and Mouthwatering.Thanks Vinyassa.s waiters and chefs.

We are locals to Edinburgh and have visited Vinyasa several times and were therefore very disappointed at our most recent visit (August 2022). Firstly, the menu was a much reduced 'Festival Menu'. This in itself is understandable I suppose as it is a very busy...

Arrived around 3pm and only wanted a light meal to keep us going so ordered three starters. Grumpy waiter took our order and clearly wasn't chuffed that we only wanted starters. With the restaurant being completely empty one would have thought he would be pleased...

A very good Indian restaurant. Tasty food, not overly huge menu (which is fine), reasonably priced (I’d say mid range), and pleasant enough service. Recommended.

My wife and I had a meal here last night, the food was pleasant enough but the staff not so much. They were annoyingly over attentive. Took my plate away whilst my wife was still eating and felt the entire time like they were rushing...

We ate at Vinyassa twice in four nights. Best Indian meal. Pakura veg, chicken Rogan and Salmon curry (lovely flavours) were our favourites with a good bottle of wine. We have eaten here before and will definitely be back. It is near royal mile and...

Excellent service and one of the best lamb biryani I have ever tasted. My party was most satisfied with all the delicious meals served

We were surprised by the number of Indian Restaurants in Edinburgh and decided to try Vinyasa one evening which was recommended by our hotel. We were very happy we did, the food and service was great. I loved the lamb vindaloo, but I like hot,...
