The best restaurants serving Asian food in Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh and Lothian

My wife, my 6 months old son, and I stopped at this place 22 years ago for look around, and we were caught off guards by the shop owner and his wife, who invited us with the best and tastiest cup of tea with some homemade chilli dip. This pleasant experience still carries its ripple with us 22 years on. To the gracious shop owner and his wife, thank you so much for the great experience and May God Almighty bless you and grant you all your wishes. 🌹

Just magnificent, the feeling of being in Nepal... yeah, I know we don't come here for that, but the owner is from Pokhara and we ate momos that took me back to travel. Don't hesitate to come back even if it's not full. I recommend it for a Nepalese dish after a week of Haggis 😅

Definitely best Nepalese/ Indian in Edinburgh. Amazing meal yet again and the friendliest most knowledgeable staff. We enjoyed it so much we ended up leaving our "doggy" bag Oh well just means we have to visit again soon

Gran comida y gran servicio. No llegué hasta las 9 . 15 ish debido al trabajo, viaje de negocios en solitario, todavía muy servicial y me permitió sentarme donde quería. ¡Hizo que el Cordero Karahi se derritiera en la boca! El personal era genial, Prasant me sirvió junto con otros, pero su manera agradable era genial. Sin duda recomiendo y volveremos la próxima vez en Edimburgo

Highly recommend this restaurant. Its relatively new but worth a try if you looking for desi options in Edinburgh. The food the atmosphere the service 5stars. Ordered charsi chicken karahi and kabuli pulao roti and naan. Charsi chicken karahi was awesome. Worth a try if you visiting Scotland or local.

We walked in without a reservation and they managed gave us a table with about 70 min to eat, so try to book in advance. Even with the time limit we could eat in peace without feeling rushed. The food and service were excellent! The staff was very polite and attentive. The food arrived quickly and they asked if we had the dish before. We didn’t, so they explained the components and how you were supposed to prepare and eat it. It was very delicious. They asked us about spice levels and offered milder alternatives if we didn’t like spice. It wasn’t too spicy though, very pleasant and tasty. When they noticed some of us struggling with the chopsticks they also had little aprons to protect the clothes. All in a great meal, i can really recommend this restaurant!

Family meal, everyone loved it. Excellent ramen and nigiri bentos 🤩

Excellent authentic Chinese noodle place. The couple that run the place are lovely.

5 out of 5 for the food - we tried the massaman curry and noodle soup, and couldn't fault either. You should be aware the restaurant isn't licensed, so you need to bring any alcohol you want to drink (and I guess they charge corkage) - fine for us, as we don't drink, and there were soft drink options. The reason I've given this 4 out of 5 is because of the booking system - there's an online booking system, which indicates you're making an actual booking, but you get an automated email back saying that it's not a booking and the restaurant will confirm, which they didn't. We decided to turn up anyway at our requested time and there were spaces, but didn't get the impression they had our booking. Food was worth it though.

The place was packed out but they found us a spot. The food was absolutely spot on and the staff were extremely efficient and friendly.

Quite a mixed review here! Parts of Ooh Mami I liked and other parts need improving. The extensive drinks menu is exciting, the decor is quirky and the quiz was great fun! The bar is dog friendly too which is a bonus. The service was really quite slow unfortunately. It was table service but we found we had to just go up and order as there wasn’t many checks at the table. Food took a while to come too. The loaded fries weren’t really loaded, they just had a sprinkling of coconut on top, the sticky, honey glaze was non-existent. A few tweaks here and there and I would definitely review more positively.

Was there with friend and partner for a small thai dinner, the food was good specially Tom Yum Soup , although our main course was confused it was quickly amended and was also provided some prawn cracker, overal a good experience ambience and food.

Great food Great atmosphere Service took a while but lovely staff

Bhuna was lovely but not spicy enough

Best food around. Always go here for our curries and things. Been over 10 year and won’t go anywhere else. Butter Chicken and North Indian Garlic curry so tasty. Chicken pakora is a must.
