The best restaurants serving Asian food in East Lothian Edinburgh and Lothian

We have been to the Gurkha on numerous occasions and thoroughly enjoy it, service is normally 1st class and food is lovely. However, we went last night and we were so disappointed. The place was so busy, they had the tables crammed together, you felt like you were having dinner with strangers, they tables were that close. We had not even finished our starters when our main meals arrived at the table, when I asked the waitress to take it back she refused. A couple next to us had a larger table and the waitress asked if she could dispose their table to allow another couple to sit between us the man refused however the waiter then came over and divided the tables. The waiting staff were rushing all over the place resulting in two of the banging into each other and food went everywhere all over a customers clothing. Felt like we were eating in a cattle market. Won’t rush back as it spoilt the whole experience.

First time dining at Shish Mahal and I was impressed with both the service and the food. The waiter when made aware of my dislike of dairy made sure that my food was dairy free. The portion of food was good and the food was delicious. I'd definitely return when next time in the area.
