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

This place simply does not disappoint. Whether it is the speedy and friendly service or the beautifully laid out food that fulfills all your cravings, you must visit this place. There are a lot of vegan restaurants that boast being great, yet they lack the key ingredient: simply great food, without anything extra. For a vegan restaurant, I look for comforting flavours that deliver and make me and my tummy happy. I have finally found a place I can openly recommend to everyone. Reasonable prices, great services, friendly atmosphere and food you can actually be happy with. I need to go back here, asap. You should too.

Ambiente encantador, el servicio era amable y atento, y lo más importante es que comí la mejor comida vietnamita que nunca experimenté en Escocia.

Honestly, the most terrible hospitality Ive ever seen. Really disappointed

Excellent food, but the evening was ruined by the abysmal service. Over 50 minutes wait for our main courses. The coffee offered as compensation was cold by the time it arrived. The waiter was pretentious and patronising.

Meal for 2 with starters and mains came in at less than £80. The dishes were all really tasty and in good portions. The menu is quite small so don’t expect masses of choice, just really good food. Get a seat in the back room, it’s more intimate and (importantly in winter) much warmer than up front.

Came to Hakataya for the Sushi making class with Tang! He was so kind and informative as we learned to make our own maki rolls. The whole process was explained, giving us details for where to source ingredients, how to cook the rice and how to roll the sushi properly. Also, it tasted AMAZING. Most importantly, we really feel we’d be able to make maki on our own now at home — though never as quickly and expertly as Tang. Would definitely recommend!

Tasty food, good choice of drinks, excellent service and price.

Number 1 Thai. Brilliant service. Food you can still taste hours after. Fantastic just fantastic. Well done girls again.

Recently visited with friends and could not find fault with this restaurant. Food wonderful and staff excellent. Patient when explaining new dishes to us and catered to our groups particular likes in terms of spice etc. Would highly recommend!

The thali was very good, it was spicy and had many ingredients in it. The food was piping hot and is what you expect from an indian meal.

Specifically asked NOT to have the burger that would instantly explode all my fingers and toes. Was served it and now had to have my wife type this out for me due to lack of both fingers and toes Thanks Paradise Palms!

Stupendo! Prima esperienza con il Pho. Preso il 3 mushroom con veg broth. Prezzi nella media di edimburgo. Personale attento e cordiale. Rapido servizio. Consigliato

So cool, The lady was so so nice!!

The food is amazing! The staff are so friendly and attentive. We’re already planning the next lunch date to try other options on the menu. The teriyaki chicken was *chef’s kiss*.

Had the lunchtime menu. My wife had lemon chicken - yuk - the sauce did not smell of lemon and was watery, and the chicken was iffy. We had gluten free rice due to a celiac being in our company. Wrong move. It was bland. The beef with green peppers and black bean sauce was good.
