This review is taken from the current (2012) edition.
Having moved from the nearby Central Mosque last year, the Mosque Kitchen is now a more conventional offering, but retains the 'Tasty Curry in a Hurry' ethos that made it a hit just round the corner. The menu is short, sweet and posted on the wall next to the serving counter where your (disposable) plate is generously filled. Where the menu is somewhat light on detail, servers give a wealth of detail, pointing out dishes like an excellent tandoori chicken thigh or the fresh and fiery chana massala. You are actively encouraged to mix and match two or even three curries on a bed of pilau rice. Side dishes like the veggie samosas are easily over looked under the hot lamps, but well worth a try since they are well filled with spicy potato and pea blend. The focus on budget dining sometimes goes overboard – replacing napkins with a giant roll of blue paper seems excessive, but when a home-cooked style meal for two comes in at under £15 it can't be said that they aren't putting the savings on the plate.

Hands down best Indian I have had in Edinburgh. Love everything about this place, the canteen feel, the paper plates & cutlery all leave the experience up to the food...and wow does the food work! A previous reviewer mentioned value for money and that is band on! Not only that this is closest curry I have had to the curry I had whilst in India...love it!

I love the Mosque Kitchen, although I am a little disappointed that it is moving from its original location. However I have now visited the Nicholson Square restaurant now, and the food has not changed. Still one of the best tasting and best value for money curry in Edinburgh. This is a must if you like authentic curry and don't care for all the fancy frills that go along with it!
