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

A Culinary Gem in Edinburgh I recently had the pleasure of dining at Cilantro, an exceptional Indian restaurant in Edinburgh, and it was so good that I found myself returning for dinner the very next day! On both visits, the food was consistently fantastic, full of rich, authentic flavors and perfectly prepared dishes that left a lasting impression. Despite exploring other options, nothing seemed to compare to the experience Cilantro offers. From the warm and welcoming atmosphere to the impeccable service, everything about this place speaks to quality and care. If you’re in Edinburgh and looking for an unforgettable Indian dining experience, Cilantro is an absolute must-try. I’ll certainly be back!

I visited Golden Ambal Restaurant in Edinburgh with my husband on the 10th at around 2:30 PM. We ordered the Non-Veg Thali and Mutton Biryani, and I’ve waited three days to write this because I just can’t accept what they served us. The Non-Veg Thali was shocking. It came with white rice, 6-7 tiny pieces of chicken in gravy, carrot poriyal, dal, curd, some kind of veg podimas, gulab jamun, and poori. I even asked the waiter if this was really a Non-Veg Thali, and he casually said “yes.” Seriously? A Non-Veg Thali with barely any meat? This is unacceptable. The Mutton Biryani was even worse—it didn’t taste like biryani at all. It was more like a bland mutton pulao with no flavor or satisfaction. I’m writing this because people come to restaurants with happiness and excitement to enjoy good food. What we experienced was utter disappointment. No matter how much money you earn, it’s not worth it if your customers leave feeling cheated. Please improve your food and don’t let others feel the same.

Superb food. Great mango lassie. I'll be back.

They accepted my order immediately, and then 30 minutes later, said that it was out for delivery. They did not deliver it and did not attempt to contact me at all. So I have now been scammed £30. Avoid this place at any cost and save yourself the time and hassle of getting your money back. AVOID!!!

I have purchased take away a few times and every time it is exceptional. The food is magnificent, it is prepared quickly , and the service is exceptional. Good prices too. I’m very happy.
