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.

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?

Reservé y pagué una comida de pollo Biryani para 15 personas para llegar a las 7. 15 pm al día siguiente. Tras numerosas llamadas al lugar el conductor finalmente entregó la comida a las 8. 50 pm. No había organizado un arranque ya que creía que todo estaría bien con el tiempo. Pero tener a 15 personas esperando 95 minutos para comer era inaceptable y estresante. El arroz era suficiente para 30 personas y si cavabas el tiempo suficiente podías encontrar los trozos de pollo. Las especias estaban buenas pero no pongas tus esperanzas en este lugar. Como anfitrión pagué por adelantado para una noche libre de estrés que era cualquier cosa menos. Terrible experiencia. El conductor de la comida también dio marcha atrás en una pared en la carretera (el extremo trasero del automóvil hizo un sonido de grietas siniestras mientras crujía contra la pared de piedra baja) - por lo que imagino que sus niveles de estrés estaban en un máximo histórico. Dum Biryani dijo repetidamente que estaban esperando a un repartidor y que no podían hacer nada al respecto. No se preocupan por sus clientes y te sugiero que evites ser tratado como si no contaras. Todo el mundo trajo vinos hermosos y se vistió para la ocasión - que tristemente fue arruinado por Dum Biryani.

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

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

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

First class meal. Highly recommend you give it a try. A modern take on Indian cuisine.

Great food and the owner is extremely friendly.

Went here randomly on a Tues evening. Delighted to find great food and staff on hand. Though everything was spot on, I'd put the vegetarian momo's top of the list. Deffo go again when we're passing again

I was visiting Edinburgh from England and found this nice little restaurant on Google. I had the chicken Shatkora with keema nan and my brother in law had the chicken byriani. As an Asian person I highly rate this place. The food was so tasty. The restaurant is a bit tiny but everything else was on point. We visited on a Tuesday evening, moderately busy. Food waiting time wasn't that bad tbh.

Service good friendly staff excellent service and atmosphere 👌

Best Indian food in town! Visiting this restaurant after 5 years and glad to report that food is absolutely delicious to this day 😁 smashing food, ambience and service. Highly recommend!
