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

The food was 100/100! Staffs are very friendly & attentive. Service was superb. Nepalese hospitality. Will definitely come back soon.

Food and service all excellent, we have been a few times and always enjoy it. Naan breads are wonderful. Mojitos are also very good.

This bistro is 1.5 miles from the East end of Princes St. On the bus route up North & South bridge to Newington (about 10 minutes). This is small, friendly, elegant restaurant. The owner is so kind and welcoming. As local residents we love coming here as the quality of the ingredients and cooking is superb. It’s not your typical Indian menu. Dishes we enjoy are Crispy fried okra, Dirty Samosa chat, Prawn Malabar, Ghee roast chicken and Lal mas. They also serve a Tasting Menu. Vegetarian/Vegans also catered for. A small wine list. Would love to see a Tapss style evening event as their amuse bouche was outstanding.

Edimburgo está lleno de fantásticos restaurantes indios, pero si me preguntan cuál es mi favorito, pensaría en Sabzi primero! Estoy aquí tan a menudo como sea posible (que resulta ser bastante a menudo) y en general para la cena. El menú cambia cada semana, pero si te gusta un poco de rutina, entonces hay ciertos elementos que siempre están presentes, como el chip chaat. Tiendo a ir por uno de los artículos más caros (alrededor de £ 25 ) de la parte superior del menú y luego dos de más abajo (generalmente alrededor de £ 7 ) para una comida para uno, pero puedo ver gente compartiendo lo mismo entre dos! Sabzi es de gestión local y en la puerta de comida callejera. Una vez que pida (consejo: tome una foto del menú) desde el menú de la pared on - the -, sabrá que la comida está en camino porque sus platos de metal y latas rústicas que contienen sus cubiertos llegarán. Generalmente, todo llega a la vez, pero no siempre. ¡Si eres un cliente habitual, espera una charla amistosa también! Y Sabzi es uno de esos grandes negocios locales que tienen y conocen a sus clientes habituales. Incluso reconozco a otros dueños de negocios allí. Sabzi es genial si eres vegetariano. Nunca es un menú enorme, pero siempre es uno fuerte para los vegetarianos y a veces solo hay una opción de carne (que es un buen volteo de la opción de token one vegetal! ) Yo describiría Sabzi como una fusión escocesa - india porque los platos indios a menudo tienen un toque escocés! O al revés. Recomendaría aprovechar esas oportunidades cada vez que aparezcan en el menú.

Fantastic authentic tasting food. Best onion bhaji we have ever had and the lamb in the Karahi curry was so tender! All round great meal & service! BYOB, another bonus & amazing value for money! Will be returning for sure and highly recommend!

Me sorprendió lo ocupado que estaba, ya que no había oído hablar de ello de mis amigos que son locales de Edimburgo. Estábamos encantados con el servicio de comida y toda la experiencia sin duda volverá en mi próximo viaje al norte.

Pedí una entrega, la comida fue fenomenal, muy recomendable, tanto sabor en cada bocado, ¿las samosas?

perfect hyderabadi biryani served in edinburgh at very affordable prices. people craving for perfect biryani must try this

Were attracted by 4.8 star reviews but on arrival and having seen the place, should’ve turned around and went somewhere else as it seems they inflated their score on Google. Odd ambiance, no heating (apart from a tiny fan in the corner), cheap decor and ikea tableware - nothing wrong with that but they’re clearly going for a more expensive vibe which is just not matched either by the atmosphere, food or service. Speaking of food, we went for chicken and paneer curries - both contained barely any meat/cheese (counted 4 cubes of paneer in the curry, photo attached) and both tasted very sweet. Went for naans too which tasted very plain and unseasoned. Have had Indian plenty of times before and this is just not it for the asking price and how the restaurant is trying to position itself.

Authentic Indian food Loved there lamb biryani

Excellent service and food can't wait to return

Absolutely amazing dinner, authentic delicious food. Huge portions, lovely staff. The peshawari naan and pilau rice was particularly good. We had a LOT of food and drinks, and it came to just £30 per person. I couldn't recommend Durbar more!

Very good food and welcoming place

Great food, very efficient and delightful service. A gem of a place.

Service good friendly staff excellent service and atmosphere 👌
