I heard…read morerecently this local restaurant was voted second best curry house in Edinburgh so was keen to try. I have to say it was delicious and was really impressed. Great flavours, fresh and tasty and great nan bread too. My wife who is very hard to please actually said "this is the best takeaway I've ever had" - high praise indeed. Actually really reasonable prices too. The restaurant looks great and look forward to trying it out soon.

Dishoom was one of my favorite meals in Edinburgh. We started with the bun maska and masala chai…read morecombo, along with the chili chicken. The bun maska was perfectly drenched in butter, and the chai was hot and comforting. The chili chicken was also really flavorful with the perfect spice level. For our mains, we got the Ruby Chicken and House Black Dal with garlic naan, chili paratha, and a side of plain rice. The Ruby Chicken had a delicious tomato gravy, and the chicken pieces were really soft. The dal was thick and creamy. Everything paired together so well. Beyond the food, the restaurant itself was beautiful, with a Bombay-inspired atmosphere. There's seating both upstairs and downstairs, and while we didn't have any issues, I've heard there can be long wait times. Our server was friendly, although the service felt a little sloppy at times. They also surprised us with complimentary champagne since we were celebrating a special occasion, which was really nice. I found the portions to be a little smaller, and it's definitely on the pricier side, but I think it's worth the splurge. If you're visiting the UK, I'd definitely recommend checking out Dishoom!

It's a beautiful thing to witness, even better to experience. My Negroni order was sent to the bar while my server and I chatted about what I might like. So efficient. I ended up ordering a couple of small plates. A spicy lamb dish and a hot/cold combo of yogurt and mashed hot veggies. Rather quickly my drink was served and a short while later my food appeared. Those small plates were not so small! Loads of food for one, perfect starters for two. Finished with a house chai - delicious!

Really not great. I would probably go as to far to say the worst Indian restaurant I have ever…read moreeaten at, and I have been to some truly horrendous ones! I came here last month with a couple of friends, against our better judgement as it was completely empty at about 7 in the evening, but we still dined here. The food was really not tasty, I had onion bhaji's to start which were dry and tasteless, and my friends had a selection of kebabs which they said were chewy, and they really looked unappealing. The curries were equally awful. I had the chicken bhuna, which had a super watery sauce, and the chicken was really chewy and stringy, and there was a layer of oil on the whole thing making it taste rank to be honest. The rice was also over cooked and was pretty soggy. To their credit though, the nan bread was tasty was was the best part of the meal - but it would be pretty difficult to mess that up! The meal was really expensive too, with two courses coming to about £17 - really not worth it. I found the staff rude and unhelpful, and overall had a pretty nasty experience. Don't be fooled - just because a restaurant is on the Royal Mile does not mean it is good, I learnt the hard way!

We dropped in here exhausted after a long day in the city where we ended up missing lunch. We were…read moreplenty hungry and ordered for chicken bhuna, chapati, daal tarka and steamed rice. The food was good and the service was quick. I am not giving them a 4-star rating cause the service could have been improved and the guy who greeted us could have been friendlier. My partner tried to use the Yelp checkin offer for 10% menu ( we both unlock and use Yelp offers which work pretty great) but the guy refused it by saying it is only on the takeout menu while as the offer says main menu which is what we ordered. We didn't argue but still as I mentioned before, the service could have been better and friendlier. Three star for the food.

Unfortunately, it doesn't quite deliver everything it promises. There's no denying that the décor is beautiful - the solid oak furniture and linen tablecloths certainly give the place an upmarket feel, but when main courses are around £10-15 without any rice or naans you would expect something more from the food than it actually delivers. That said, they offer a handful of set banquets for two people which work out at roughly £20 per head including starters right through to main courses, although my friends that I ate there with said that theirs was pretty bland and dull. I wouldn't go as far as saying it was a bad meal, but I haven't been in a mad rush to go back to Voujon since my first visit.

I went to the Bengali and Indian restaurant Voujon for the first time a few weeks ago and since…read morethen I have been back twice. They serve traditional and authentic Indian dishes which are full of flavour. I have had a few of their curry dishes and my favourite is the King Prawn Bhuna which is very tasty and quite spicy but not too much that it ruins your meal. The dishes at Voujon are all very well presented and the foo is reasonably priced, with main meals around £9 and there is an extensive veggie menu available as well. They offer several different types of rice and there is plenty of variety of side dishes to accompany your meal. The decor inside is very authentic and modern whilst the staff have always been very attentive and warm. Voujon also do takeaways and is available for private functions.

The place is popular with both locals and tourists alike, so reservations are a MUST. If the variety of the menu overwhelms you, and you want to play it safe, The Garlic Nan, Vegetable Samosas, and Chicken Pakorah are among the "smaller" items that pack just as much flavour as everything else. Be mindful of some of the meat items, as they can pack quite a kick. Drinks are plentiful, as well, but don't expect the best selection of alcoholic beverages. Hey, no place is perfect.

The interior decor of this place feels stylish and relaxing with plenty of neatly arranged and clean tables. The menu has an extensive range of authentic Indian dishes and, strangely, some European classics like roast chicken! I went for the chicken Bhuna which, along with rice and a naan bread came to just over a tenner. It didn't take long at all to arrive and tasted amazing when it did. The chicken was obviously excellent quality and the sauce was creamy with a great range of flavours. For delicious Indian food and friendly service, The Verandah is the place.

This is one of my favourite restaurants in Edinburgh, the food here really is delicious. I first…read moreheard about it when I was in first year and on the last day of living in halls we decided to treat ourselves to some decent food. Ever since, we have always ordered from Shapla to celebrate- birthdays, end of term or any little event good enough to get an excuse to get one! Although the restaurant describes itself as serving Bangladeshi cuisine, you will also find Indian and other Asian dishes being served up here. You can order online via their website and the delivery time was about half an hour, which is pretty good. I have been trying to work my way through their menu and there hasn't been one meal where I had finished it feeling dissatisfied, all the meals are full of flavour and are well portioned to ensure that you are full by the end of them.

Last Friday I went over to get some chicken tikka and the gentleman confirmed I was after this and not chicken tikka masala. I'm not big on sauces so minus the masala for me please. After about 10 min wait the takeaway was ready and I unloaded the goodies at home. A small addition of iceberg lettuce with yoghurt sauce came with the chicken - so good, lemony and refreshing. The chicken was very good too, big chunks of tender meat cooked nicely. I had that with some plain boiled rice. Simple but delicious. Happy with this takeaway and if Shapla would operate as a sit in resturant, I would probably have dinner there :)

And for the various dishes, you can really taste the component ingredients, especially the almond and cashews used in the sauces. So I really wanted to rate this place better, except for a couple of things. The Lamb Chops and the Tandoori Mixed Grill were overdone -- from slightly dry to very dead. And, for the Chicken Tikka Masala and the Lamb Pasanda, the sauces were very sweet. For the Lamb Pasanda in particular, it was sweet enough that I mistook it for a dessert until I came across the chunks of lamb. Hard to really knock them much on the first point since it's all takeaway and maybe there's some extra cooking while the food is sealed in a box, but for the second I would've expected the dishes to be more savory than sweet. Overall, not bad, and potentially really good curries, but maybe too sweet for my taste.
