Khushi's
9 Victoria Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2HE
If there is anyone out there who still yearns for the bygone days of flock-wallpapered Indian restaurants, a trip to Khushi's will soon sort them out. Buzzing with energy, the vast, grand, contemporary dining environment that is home number five for…
Mosque Kitchen
Edinburgh Central Mosque, 50 Potterrow,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9BT
Mosque Kitchen is a singular dining experience, satisfying a very diverse clientele from all walks of life, staff and students from the nearby university and Muslim families. It's located in the Southside under a corrugated iron canapé at the back of…
Suruchi
14a Nicolson Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9DH
Suruchi prides itself on representing every corner of India within its expansive menu. So you'll find plenty of paneer – cheese – dishes from the north, Goan king prawn curry from the west, and spicy chicken and fish dishes from the east. The chef has…
Balbir's
7 Church Street,
Glasgow,
G11 5JP
Balbir's modern interior is plush and well lit, decorated in warm reds and clean whites, and the space is large and open enough for bigger parties while still accommodating those looking for a more intimate meal. The food is as modern as the setting.
The Wee Curry Shop
7 Buccleuch Street,
Glasgow,
G3 6SJ
The sentiments of the 'small is beautiful' saying are certainly supported by Glasgow's various Wee Curry Shops. The newest one, opened towards the end of 2007 in Byres Road, is the latest tiny jewel in the crown of the empire of its parent group, Mother…
Mother India
28 Westminster Terrace, Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7RU
Style and elegance radiate throughout this justifiably renowned restaurant, from the small bistro-style area on the ground floor to the more formal room upstairs, with its comfortably used wooden tables, subdued lighting and wood panelling. It is a…
Roti
73 Morrison Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8BU
Roti bills itself as 'a restaurant that serves Indian food' rather than an Indian restaurant, which may seem a minor quibble, but as soon as you enter the building it all becomes clear. This is fine dining without the pomp and ceremony, offering a…
Shamoli
105 High Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1SG
Tucked away at the top of a curved flight of old stone steps, this newcomer to the High Street confidently declares its presence with a flurry of signs and neon lights in the window. As with its sister restaurant Mya, on Commercial Quay in Leith, the…
Mr Singh's India
149 Elderslie Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7JR
During our reviewing period for this edition of the Eating & Drinking Guide in early 2008, Mr Singh's was undergoing a bit of cosmetic surgery. We expect that after the building renovations are completed, however, this stylish restaurant will remain one…
Namaste Kathmandu
17–19 Forrest Road,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2QH
In a city with no shortage of Indian restaurants, it would be easy for a new kid on the block to blend into the crowd. Namaste, however, is a very welcome addition to the Edinburgh scene. Combing elements of Indian and Nepalese cuisine, the menu here…
Ignite
272–274 Morrison Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8DT
Ignite's West End location and surfeit of business diners might explain why its prices sit nearer the top end of the scale for Indian restaurants. But this place offers professional service and hearty food in slick, modern surroundings. The main problem…
9 Cellars Restaurant and Bar
1–3 York Place,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3EB
As Indian restaurants go, 9 Cellars is one of the more unusual. Not only does its impressively long menu boast unfamiliar dishes unseen anywhere else, but the space itself is a labyrinth of intimate eating corners on different levels rather than the…
Rawalpindi Tandoori
321 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3HW
Established some three decades ago, Rawalpindi describes its 'fine Indian cuisine' as 'probably the best in Glasgow'. The atmosphere inside the eatery, where swathes of pink material hang from the ceiling along with some rather wilted pot plants and a…
Suruchi Too
121 Constitution Street,
Edinburgh,
EH6 7AE
Whether you're out partying with a group of friends or looking for a romantic evening for two, Suruchi Too seems to conjure up the right atmosphere. The elegant columned entrance and smart waiting area gives your dining experience a sense of occasion.
Kalpna
2/3 St Patrick's Square,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9EZ
It's been left to the Kalpna to fly the flag for meat-free eating in a surprisingly under-served capital for quarter of a century. To its credit it has done so constantly, while simultaneously being one of Edinburgh's top Indian restaurants. Kalpna's…
Mezbaan South Indian Restaurant
14/14a Brougham Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9JH
Not to be outdone by its culinarily colourful neighbours, who serve up Kurdish, Italian, east African and Thai treats on the same street, this Tollcross restaurant specialises in southern Indian food, which tends to be healthier and less oily than…
The Dhabba
44 Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
G1 1LE
This Merchant City establishment continues to consolidate its place among the best Indian restaurants in Glasgow. The open, airy venue is sleek and modern with bare wooden furnishings and minimal decorative embellishments, which encourages diners to pay…
Koh-i-Noor
235 North Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7DL
Walking into the Koh-i-Noor, named after the famous Indian diamond gifted to Queen Victoria, is a bit like being transported onto a Bollywood film set. It first opened in 1964 on Gibson Street before relocating to its current location aside the M8, and…
Café India
29 Albion Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1LH
Brightly lit, open and contemporary, Café India – something of a Glasgow institution – relocated to the Merchant City in April 2007 after many years near the Mitchell Library. A straightforward one-page menu offers a good choice of dishes, the usual…
Eastern Spices
2 Canonmills Bridge,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5LF
Eastern Spices has been a popular and reliable pit stop for lovers of Indian takeaway since it opened 11 years ago. The friendly staff manning the smartly appointed outlet will pass the time of day with regulars or warmly welcome a new face. The menu is…
Charcoals
26A Renfield Street,
Glasgow,
G2 1LU
Charcoals' colourful interiors, and its reliable and occasionally excellent Punjabi cuisine, make it a good choice in the city centre. The main draws here are the great value lunchtime buffet – popular with local office workers – and the generous…
The Clay Oven
86 Morningside Road,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4BY
Located at the Bruntsfield/Morningside crossover point, the Clay Oven feels very much like a neighbourhood restaurant. Well laid out, with smart décor and attentive staff, it's the kind of place you can rely on. The food may not rock your world, but…
Gandhi's
50 East Fountainbridge,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9BH
Tucked away behind Lothian Road, Gandhi's might be small, but there's no shortage of ambition in this hidden gem. Though the dining space is long and narrow, the clean, modern décor, stylish pale wood furniture and tasteful lighting create an ambience…
Saffrani
11 South College Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9AA
Unpretentiousness, modest décor and a homely atmosphere all belie the classy, sophisticated food that is served at Saffrani. In this small but comfortable restaurant, wonders from Pawan Kumar's kitchen resonate with echoes of the innovative, but now…
Zest
15 North St Andrew Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1HJ
Although Zest is ostensibly your standard, fairly modern curry house, there are many reasons to recommend it. The service is great – genial but never overbearing. The fact that you can get a late feast here also adds to the appeal: owner Asaddar Ali…
