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

Lovely atmosphere, service was friendly and attentive, and most importantly I ate the best Vietnamese food I never experienced in Scotland.

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.

Genuine Afghan cuisine but we found very oily (ghee) and didn't realise it was a dry bar only!

This was our first visit and we will definitely be back. We were a group of 4 - two couples - and visited on Saturday night. I had booked well in advance and had both text and email confirmations of my booking which was effective. I have been to the Glasgow restaurant and so expected the food to be excellent and it was - the whole restaurant is lovely and it’s fairly big so a bit more space at each table that some other Thai restaurants in town - like say Dusit - where the food is great but all tables a bit cramped. We arrived early and had a seat by the bar where the bar staff took an order and brought drinks across - and added to the Table Bill - very slick. We had the set menu - Chaophraya- and it was fantastic - the states were amazing especially the pancakes and spring rolls. The three main dishes were really good choice - Chicken was spectacular, Duck brilliant and the Lamb curry was good. We don’t usually take dessert but it was included in the set meal - and it was brilliant too On the Saturday the restaurant was very busy and the first course was a bit slow to come out - but they told us the kitchen was busy and it was fine. We had the table booked until 9pm - per the booking - but they never rushed us at all and we left about 9.30pm. Service was good - and the waiters explained the dishes but didn’t linger - we liked that. Excellent location in centre of the city , excellent food and good service.

This was hands down the best meal I had while I was visiting Edinburgh. I had the Philly Cheese steak loaded fries and it was so yummy! I took my meat eater of a partner and they had the vegan chipotle mac and cheese and agreed it was their best meal of the holiday also! Go there, you won't be disappointed!

This place has just amazing food! I had one of their signature dishes, and it was worth a try. Sorry to say, but if I didn't read about it on Tripadvisor up front, I would definately passed by. But despite an anonymous front, they mantain a good atmosphere inside. So close to the busy Royal Mile, still the friendly staff manage to create a relaxed experience.

The most amazing ramen (Hakata-Ya) I’ve ever had in my life. The broth is delicious, full of flavour and perfectly balanced. Ordered plum sake instead of a cocktail and was absolutely happy with my choice. The service is 5 starts, very attentive staff, polite and caring. Highly recommend!

Tikka masala very disappointing..not much chicken in a tub of lukewarm sauce.

I highly recommend this restaurant. Not only it is very well located but the staff is also super staff and the food is heavenly!

Tried khukuri veg thali and all the items served were good (hot, tasty and spicy as requested). Would recommend if you are looking for nepali food.

A very tasty Thali. Just right :-) Hit the spot. Meeto cha Relaxed and friendly - accommodated me late in the evening. Thank you

Arrived when it was pretty empty, food was good! Service at the start was great but it took about 15-20 minutes for us to get the bill after asking a few times

Great vibe, super friendly staff - food is Blinkin delicious! I love that fact they use boxes to serve some food. How clever and all about recycling! Plus, less washing up! A little different. Not traditional - that’s what makes it special. Thoroughly recommend!

Wow 😯 What a wonderful place. Amazing food, service spot on . Everything we tried was fresh and nicely spiced . Ramen , noodles , sushi all well made. Thank you can't wait to come back.

I was last here in the 1980s and it was awful. I am very glad to say it has improved 100%. The service was great. The interior is an amazing improvement, my friends meal was good, unfortunately mine was not, these things happen, on the whole it was a resnoble experience.
