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

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.

Wowza! Great food. The lovely staff (Steven & his lovely mum) chatted to us. Street food style dining Very casual but great.

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!

Was surprised at how busy it was as hadn’t heard about it from my friends who are local to Edinburgh. We were delighted with the food service and whole experience will definitely be back on my next trip up north.

Kahani Indian Street Food is the Best Indian food I have ever eaten. The flavors of all the dishes were spot on and we shared several. The staff are superbe! Joe, our waiter was super friendly, gave us some speciality suggestions and was quite attentive to all our needs to ensure we had a wonderful dining experience, which we did. Can’t wait to return when I arrive back this week to eat there again’ before returning to the states. This is a must place to eat if you are ever in Edinburgh! Thank you to all the staff!

Efficient & polite service, delicious food, in a busy restaurant with a nice 'buzz'. Very nice, thank-you.

It was a fantastic experience that started as soon as we arrived, a pleasant greeting and then shown our way upstairs to the restaurant again met with a warm welcome. We were shown to our table (with a view of the square). Our waitress presented us with our menus and made us very welcome. Our meals were outstanding and very well presented. The tea top ups were plentiful and regular checks from the fantastic staff ensured our visit was enjoyable. 5 star service, 5 star food and not too expensive a bill. We will be back!

I have a terrible moment with ugly and unpolite treatment by the staff Not recommended at all.

Despite being turned away in the first point of contact (we just turned up, no booking); a quick re-visit of the restaurant’s ‘situation’ by the manager found us a seat. The surroundings were impressive, the ambiance pleasant, the menu alluring. It’s been a few months, so pardon me if I don’t remember exactly what we had to eat, suffice to say that the ‘Railway Curry’ was particularly outstanding. It was all top-notch. Enough to have me on the phone to my two brothers (who both live in Edinburgh) to recommend. Both my partner and I love our Indian food. This was of the highest quality.

Pre-Reservamos una fiesta de 10 para las 8 pm los domingos. Llegamos a tiempo a un restaurante casi vacío. Tuvimos que pedir para pedir bebidas. Tuvimos que pedir para ordenar algunos poppadoms. Tuvimos que pedir a los platos principales. Se volcaron a otros clientes y les dijeron que el restaurante estaba completamente reservado (estaba vacío aparte de nosotros). Los poppadoms estaban deliciosos. La cerveza de barril se había acabado. Sospecho que también se les acabó la comida. 90 minutos después de llegar aún no teníamos nuestros principales. Con un tren para coger les dijimos que tendríamos que salir en otros 5 minutos si no había comida. Platos (calientes) llegaron. Todavía en la comida después de otros 10 minutos. No hay explicación de la gestión de la demora. Finalmente, nos dimos por vencidos, pagamos por bebidas y poppadoms, y nos fuimos para tomar el último tren con el estómago vacío. NO UN RENDIMIENTO IMPRESIONANTE.

I went yesterday with a friend to try this place and we both (vegan) were so disappointed They didn't have RICE (note: supermarkets have rice available if you run out) so they changed it to chips,..which has nothing to do with this type of food The "chicken" was amazing but the price..£14 for some chips and else it's over expensive..the taste is just like any other indian restaurant, so I am not sure about the glam on telling everyone you used to cooked for a Raja..who cares if then food is just like any other place? I wont be going back and I recommend you eat somewhere else, a lot of restaurants do full "burgers" with chips and salad for less Disappointed is little Went to the Bonnie and Wild Marketplace

We randomly selected this restaurant as we were in Slough for a couple of days and looking for somewhere - we are delighted we did. As a family (kids 10 and 4) it can be difficult on a wet Wednesday night after driving 7hrs+ to get something everyone is happy with, but the staff were brilliant and organized our meal so there was something for everyone. They were also great with the kids and even though the restaurant wasn't busy I still felt they were attentive and ready to help for whatever we needed. The food was fabulous too. We each had a different meal and were struggling to decide which was best, my advice is to speak to the staff and let them know what you do and dont like and they can prepare it the way you want it. Nothing was too much trouble. All in all a lovely place and if we are ever in the area we will definitely be back!

I would like to meet the people leaving these 4.5 star reviews as they are probably family and friends. My family of four ended up with chicken out of a packet and nans out of a packet all cold whilst being watched over by a group of men. We only ate part of it as we was really hungry! If I am being honest I can’t understand why environmental health hasn’t shut this place down

Food amazing however very busy and service can be slower when busy only to be expected

A perfect curry and friendly service
