10/10! We are from London and came here by recommendation from a friend living in Edinburgh, as soon as we arrived we were greeted by a wonderful intimate yet family atmosphere and great waiters. We had our dinner downstairs and ordered as starters Kurkure Aloo Chaat and Keema Samosa, and as mains Butter Chicken, Coconut and Mango Chicken, Railways Lamb Curry and Monk Fish Tikka with 2 sides of basmati rice and cheesy garlic naan and we shared it all between 4ppl. We were served by two wonderful waiters Rishi and Dipanshu super kind and attentive towards my allergy to honey 😊🐝 We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in Edinburgh! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Recommended years ago as the best Indian restaurant in Edinburgh. Have been here on most of my visits to Edinburgh (last in 2019), but it seems to now be distinctly ordinary. Will probably give it a pass on my next visit.

Great food, good price, great location. Very short waiting time. Naan cheese was extremely good and the mango coconut chicken was delicious. Maybe portions could be bigger.
