Kalpna
2/3 St Patrick's Square, Edinburgh, EH8 9EZ

10 to 10 In Delhi
67 Nicolson Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9BZ
This Indian café is small but packed with character: there’s not an inch of space not decorated with cushions or drapes, and Bollywood films are on loop in the corner. As the name indicates, it’s open from morning to night, with a choice of takeaway…
Suruchi
14a Nicolson Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9DH
Sitting directly opposite the Festival Theatre, Suruchi will always attract late-night diners and pre-theatre bargain hunters. The real challenge is to inspire regulars in this highly competitive neck of the woods. The owners seem alive to criticism of…

Khushi’s Diner
32b West Nicolson Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9DD
For the last couple of years this has been the locus of the veteran Khushi’s brand, long-time staple of the Edinburgh curry scene. The Newington incarnation is designed with good cheer in mind, with a mix of red banquettes and cosy tables interspersed…
Classic's
10 Windsor Street, Edinburgh, EH7 5JR
Situated beneath the Cairn Hotel, Classic’s basement restaurant is a story of two halves, one part lying fallow beyond the breakfast service while the understated, stone-clad main dining area is dominated by a large wooden bar that hints at the room’s…
Khushi's
10 Antigua Street, Edinburgh, EH1 3NH
Sixty-five years since its first appearance and half a dozen venues later, Indian stalwart Khushi’s has popped up on Antigua Street near the top of Leith Walk. Behind its extensive glazed frontage waiters bustle between a separate raised area reserved…
Gurkha Café Gurkha Café
25–27 Cockburn Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1BP

1 Albert Street, Edinburgh, EH7 5HN

9 Cellars Thali
1–3 York Place, Edinburgh, EH1 3EB

Zest Zest
15 North St Andrew Street, Edinburgh, EH2 1HJ
A sophisticated restaurant just off St Andrew Square, Zest has a short menu with a focus on North Indian cuisine and it's packed with dishes rarely, if ever, seen elsewhere in the city. Salmon 65, a dish pioneered in the high-end hotels of Goa, is a…
Punjab'n de Rasoi
122–124 Leith Walk, Edinburgh, EH6 5DT
A community café whose set-up was funded by a government grant sounds like a very worthy affair, but such a description, while accurate, doesn't do justice to this fantastic venture serving up home-cooked style Sikh cuisine at the foot of Leith Walk. A…

Indian Lounge
129a Rose Street, Edinburgh, EH2 3DT
The family-run Indian Lounge is central enough for most of the city to grab a curry on their way home, and there’s a lot to recommend that you do. Prices are considerably more reasonable than you might expect from the central – or any – location, staff…
Mezbaan Mezbaan South Indian Restaurant
14/14a Brougham Street, Edinburgh, EH3 9JH
It’s rare in Edinburgh to find Indian restaurants with regional specificity, so Mezbaan is welcome in introducing flavours from the country’s south, especially since it has one of Britain’s best South Asian chefs at the helm. Coconut is a prominent…

4–6 Lochrin Buildings, Gilmore Place, Edinburgh, EH3 9NB
