Excellent food and very keen food allergies wise. We had our company Christmas dinner here and everyone was very pleased. Also great value for money .
CRAZY. GOOD. The spiced haddock is perfection, & even the saag paneer manages to be innovative & delicious - they added shaved ginger , stroke of genius. Stop messing about & go here now.
This is the best Indian I've been too in a while! We tried so many things and everything was delicious - especially the Daal Makhni <3
Pakoras , curries , spicy lamb everything was really good here. We were really happy with the service of Latin girls and the polish waiter they offer us great advices and we had a great dinner .
After two visits to Scotland we finally found this superb indian rest. As many others have written it was a great restaurant . Cheap too, only £45 for 3 courses, 3 breads , 1 beer and 2 lassis .
Probably the best Indian I've ever had. Saag paneer is delightful. I'd also recommend the prawns and spices haddock .
Absolutely loved it! Nicely sized portions, fresh food , fast and friendly service . 5/5
It was spicer than I would never expect it, a bottle of water and I could pull through it! Amazing still, I just am not used to Indian food , it is very different in Brazil!
Salmon was amazing as was mutton curry . Best Indian food in Edinburgh. Charging for chutney and trimmings with popadums is taking tapas theme a bit too far
Shared vegetarian options between the three of us with paratha and a glass of wine . All excellent. Highly recommended
Super good and inexpensive . Very nice the tapas system, you get to try a lot of different things for very little money
Delicious Indian tapas . Don't skip the butter chicken or chilli fish cakes !
Indian food in tapas style . Spicy haddock , lamb and chicken in different preparations are great and delicious!
Excellent restaurant with tapas-style curries - good fun to mix and match with friends. Everything is good.
Order the naan bread ! It's called something else on the menu (just ask for it). Also, order spicy lamb - best dish of the night!!!
It was very loud , but we still enjoyed the meal a lot! Ordered 3 dishes + naan and rice for the 2 of us, and left SO FULL!
Garlic Naan , Gobi+Aloo+Muttar, chilli chicken garlic and chicken biryani . All delicious ????
Tapas style curry . Get lots of small dishes. Good breads . Ginger dishes lovely. Quite spicy .
Most amazing curry !!! The spiced haddock is soooo good!
Great concept, Indian "tapas ". You can order a lot of small dishes to share and taste several things
Forgot to say - you must get haddock . So delicious. This is tapas do order a few things.
Delicious food and attentive staff . Order the spicy chicken dosa and a massala tea !
Everything was very good, but the spiced haddock was the real surprise & delight!
Food here is insanely good and a great price as well . Vegetable pakora was especially good
Delicious Indian tapas ! Book ahead as it can get very busy!
Chilly prawns are amazing. Also the peshwari naans are delicious.
Railway mutton curry . Fantastic.
Small dishes so you can have a bit of everything

Great for large groups (pre-booked)
very very good indian resturant. small portions though
Best Indian food in the city and great service!
Great food but watch out for small hidden charges, e.g. dips that come with the poppadums that you might not want.
Chilli king prawns are amazing. Peshwari naan is great also
Fantastic Indian restaurant highly recommended.
The butter chicken is amazing :D !!
Expensive but good.
Try the Lime Trout - awesome.
Try the chicken pakora and chilli king prawn - both are excellent!!
