Malinga the Swinga Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Kebabish in Dalry is top notch, especially the mixed meat platter starter, as is the Himalaya in Morningside.

jimmyjambo Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Really interested in what everybodys thoughts are, as i love a curry, tried Mithas, wasnt impressed, anybody tried Kushis recently since its been done up, not been there for a while. Was in Mother India last week after the game, it was ok. I know its not Edinburgh but Itihaas in Dalkeith is excellent. Also look forward to trying this new craft beer and curry place opening down Leith called VDeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmcg_hmfc Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Just outside Edinburgh but I cannot see past Bombay Lounge in Dalkeith. Clay oven and Kebabish (for a grilled dish) are safe bets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blondejamtart Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Itihaas in Dalkeith and its sister restaurant, the Radhuni in Loanhead, are fantastic. Best Indians I've ever eaten in.

Angry Haggis Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 For sit in recently I have had set lunches in Ignite at Haymarket which was good but I thought a slightly better tasting was Bombay Bicycle Club at Tolcross. For take away I used to get mines from The Clay Oven but the standard over the last year seems to have dipped..especially when they are busy. Just down from the clay on the hill opposite the opening to the Dominion is a take away called 'Amani' - 10/10 this place folks. Open kitchen so all the stuff is cooked in front of you and every thing I have had from there has been immense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Tatlock Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Back in the day, the best was Spice of Life in Dundee Street. Went there for years, then they got done for hide beetles and mice. Mortified. They shut down. Started using Ghuru Balti. was mega. Massive portions, but bit more expensive. They went downhill too. Now I just make my own. Not far off the mark, and a lot lot cheaper. My tarka dahl beats any Indian. Can make about 6 large portions for 3 squid.

Devi Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Agree with a lot of the posts on here but would also like to recommend Spice Pavilions on Dundas St. V Deep, the craft beer & curry place opened last night. It's a joint venture between Hardeep Singh Kohli & what was The Vintage down leith. Bloggers & critics raving about it. We went last night - what a pile of pish! It is tapas style so we chose 5 dishes plus couple of sides for the 2 of us - wanted to get a good sample. 2 dishes were excellent namely pork cheek vindaloo & butter chicken. Rice was undercooked. Naan was okay. Other 3 dishes quite bland. Place was quite cold esp when the door opened. (Vintage had a revolving door to combat this but it has been turned into a snug). Jaipur IPA which is a great IPA - none left by 6pm on opening night?? A few dishes on menu were specials, staff couldn't tell us what they were. Only told us when asked & then guessed! (Said probably a chicken dish with creamy sauce cause 'that's what is always is') Again WTF. It's opening night! Anyways service poor, concept, specials & rotational beers not explained nor written anywhere. But to top it all HSK was there himself, got talking about the beers, asked me to taste the one he was drinking (from his glass???), quite liked it so he said he would get me a half & it was on him. Brought me a 1/3rd pint and then had charged for it on the bill! And when talking to us about the plates (which are massive & took up whole table) managed to make a 'joke' about rimming to the wife. Really??? Now when I recall why he was sacked from the One Show. To summarise - great concept, wanted to like it, won't be back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rupert Pupkin Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Matin Khan, is opening a new restaurant in Bonnyrigg to go with his other ventures Ittihas and Radhuni. Suppose that means he will be closing the Bombay Spice. Personally I can't see what the fuss is with Ittihas and Radhuni,every time I have had something from there the sauce has been runny and bland.
