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

Chaskaa is my number 1 curry take away service. Like most Indian curry lovers, I have tasted many curries throughout Edinburgh and Chaskaa Punjabi Murgh - one of their specials is the best I have ever had and will continue to have. Their Chicken Pakoras are the best we have ever had, just as the onion bhajis were delightful. I have recommended this place to work collogues who have visited the restaurant to eat in and loved my recommendation: Karahi, Punjabi Murgh, both dishes they loved. I have been in the restaurant to collect my order and the staff are the best, I mean really could not get nicer people, very friendly and who take the honour of serving you, the same goes for the delivery person , we have seen a few different drivers and every single one of them makes you feel like 5 star service, the food, the packaging, the staff, everything is perfect. I would recommend. Just an FYI, you get money back on each order, its like a points loyalty system, on average we get £2 on each order back into our chaskaa account, it feels great after a few orders you end up with a free curry or even a free meal.

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?

The place is great for dinner. Delicious foody nice ambience and friendly staff. Just came here with my friends and had a lovely dinner

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.

Authentic Indian food Loved there lamb biryani

We had the grill plate for 2 people and were thrilled :)

The food is delicious and the quantity is good for the price. The staff are respectful, so don’t miss the biryani 😋

Go there with your eyes closed. Incredible flavors, super efficient service and such a warm welcome! Thank you for these good times Nutan!

Never disappointed when ordering. The food is amazing

Good food and service. The atmosphere was fine but had some flaws. You come here you eat good and that's it.

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!

Ontzettend lekker gegeten. Vriendelijke bediening. Lamscurry en chickentandoori was erg goed. Ook de pappadew als voorgerecht is een aanbeveling.

Best Indian in a long time. Extremely friendly service. Will definitely return and can highly recommend it. We had Chicken Lollipop starter & pappadoms & chutney. Main course Butter chicken, railway station Lamb (with spinach). Rice, Naan bread - stuffed & happy. Mango lassi was also delish xx

Had a terrific, rapidly delivered meal from Pataka tonight. Mixed starter, pakora, pathia, butter chicken and sides, he'll even the salad was much better than most places. All really tasty, came super quick, best delivery we've had in a decade from all the local Indian take aways!!!
