Honestly one of the best Indian restaurants in town especially because Edinburgh doesn’t have Indian restaurants like this. It is very good for a very good quality price . The food comes warm and delicious with great portion sizes which fills you up! The atmosphere of the restaurant inside is very calm and collective, they’ve got upstairs and downstairs plenty of room for a gathering aswell. The staff is very helpful and well attained. It is also situated in the city centre of town perfect to grab a quick bite aswell I will surely be coming again. Definitely recommend going!!
