The best restaurants serving Indian food in Lowlands

If your looking for an amazing Indian restaurant with great food , staff and prices, look no further !! We come from Dalkeith all the way here as its the best by far!! The food is amazing and the staff can't do enough for you . We were here tonight and met new staff member Jay who is an absolute gem !! Can't wait to come back again ! Thank you sooo much to all the Gala tandoori staff who never fail to impress !!!5*❤️❤️

Absolutely wonderful! The best onion bhaji's I've ever had and the mains were to die for. Very great service and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend and already looking forward to our next visit!

I can only talk about the quality of the food and the taste experience of the food. Such a disappointment. Bland, non discript curries that were really poor and underwhelming, and expensive for the end product. I want to support local businesses but I cannot recommend this place for takeaway curries. IMO there's no excuse for under flavoured, under seasoned and under spiced curries.

excellent food and quick delivery

Very delicious food, great service and lovely staff. A great family dinner out. Would definitely come again and recommend.

Ordered only at 1632 and food was not ready to collect until 1730 despite being told it would be 30mins when ordering. I was marked as order number 2 on my receipt but takeaway orders left before I got my order (which included pizza boxes) so it looks as if they prioritise takeaway over those waiting. The first order was also a lady waiting that had quite a wait as well. Waiting area is cool temperature and there is no background music or TV to help pass the time. No staff manning the counter either for you to ask what’s taking so long for the food to come. They did apologise for the delay but nearly an hour wait is very excessive these days, especially at this time on a Tuesday. The food we ordered was nice. However, with the kids meal they advertise that the kids get a juice (we selected apple) and a free cookie. We received neither of these with our order. We did receive a free cheesy-chips. Parking is very limited on street although there is a council carpark around a 7min walk away.

A great wee restaurant. Very good service, the staff are friendly and the food is amazing! Chef came out to ask if we were happy.

We eat Indian food everywhere we go, regularly cook it at home and we buy takeaways from different restaurants once a week. It is usually excellent. This place was the first really disappointing experience we’ve had in years. Ordered four main dishes which were all basically the same. Characterless, watery veg and really lacking in flavour, complexity and depth. Texture of each sauce was the same too. Pilau rice was just basmati stained with turmeric and the naan was flat and dense rather than fluffy and light. There is not competition for miles around but seriously… must try harder. Not at all recommended.

First time visiting this restaurant for a takeaway and really enjoyed our meal.Good portions and great value.Will certainly be back again

Just today had a takeaway from Shukria Indian Cuisine, and I’m honestly blown away. From starters to mains, everything was packed with flavour and arrived hot, fresh, and beautifully presented. Starters: The Chicken Lollipops were an instant hit—crispy, juicy, and seasoned just right with a spicy kick that made them seriously addictive. The Sheek Kebab was smoky, succulent, and full of those bold, earthy spices that make you crave more. A proper, authentic start. Mains: The Chicken Jalfrezi had the perfect balance of heat and tang, with tender chicken pieces and a rich tomato-based sauce full of peppers and onions. The Lamb Bhuna was a standout—slow-cooked, deeply spiced, and melt-in-the-mouth tender. It had that traditional Bangladeshi touch that you just can’t fake. Sides: The Dal was creamy and comforting with that homestyle, garlicky finish. The Sag Aloo was perfectly cooked—soft potatoes and fresh spinach in a lightly spiced blend that paired well with everything. Rice & Bread: The pilau rice was fragrant and fluffy, and the naan was soft, slightly charred on the edges, and ideal for scooping up every bit of curry. Overall Experience: Shukria absolutely nails that Indian-Bangladeshi fusion—flavourful, generous portions, and consistently well-made dishes. Delivery was on time, the packaging was tidy, and nothing felt greasy or rushed. Highly recommend if you’re craving a top-quality desi meal at home. Rating: 5/5 — Will definitely order again!

The food is incredible, and the service is very good. The staff are lovely, so quick at serving and taking orders. The tables are clean, have good condition, and the seats are excellently comfy. Five stars 🌟 🤩 ✨️.

Have been a few times and is always excellent. The mixed grill is superb. Have tried a few other dishes, sides and naans, all top quality and great value for money. the guys are always friendly and service is spot on. Highly recommended.

Absolutely wonderful food and staff. The honey and chilli chips were a challenge. You can take your own booze in. They were good enough to provide an ice bucket. Thoroughly recommend.

My rating is for TAKEAWAY & NOT the restaurant, as I haven't eaten in the restaurant. Positive points: Food was appropriately ready for collection & was still hot, fresh & tasty when we got 'home' (approx 15-20 mins drive from restaurant) Negative points: Order was incomplete & I was overcharged I placed a very simple order via phone call for Plain Nan bread Chicken tikka starter Chicken Korma I did not receive the Chicken Tikka starter & didn't realise until I'd got back to our holiday cottage approx 10 miles away. We were starving by the time we got back & couldn't be bothered with the all the completely avoidable & unnecessary hassle of phoning to inform of the their mistake. As you can see from above we placed a very simple straight-forward order (3 items)

Visited on Friday evening with friends . The food was amazing . I had tandoori duck it was absolutely delicious. Everyone really enjoyed their meal . The service was 1 st class . Reasonably priced . Will return soon .
