chester copperpot Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Not really had many takeaway Indian's in Edinburgh, but from the one's that I've had, I'd have to say the Guru in Dundee Street was pretty good, as was the Royal Indian up Drumbrae. The Easter Pavilion's good for a sit down, never had a takeaway from there though. There's an Ashoka Indian in Kirkintilloch, and the food out of there is pretty sensational.

Get a Jalfrezi mate; wee bit spicier than a Bhuna but not of Vindaloo proportions. I'd say it's between a Bhuna and a Madras. Comes in a lovely sauce with loads of vegetables if prepared properly. See my post up there; give Saiyem's a phone in Gorgie - it's lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Bapswent Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Surely Suruchi on Nicholsons street is in with a shout? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/edinburgh_and_east/7427661.stm Business ban for restaurant owner A mouse nibbled bag found in Suruchi A former restaurant boss caught with mouse droppings in his Edinburgh premises has been banned from managing any food business for six months. Herman Rodrigues pled guilty to five charges against him and his business, Indi Foods Ltd, after his restaurant Suruchi broke food hygiene regulations. Rodrigues, 47, who appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Friday, is expected to be fined next month. He will need court permission before he can manage a restaurant again. Environmental health inspectors from Edinburgh City Council visited the premises in the city's Nicholson Street in April 2006 and found mouse droppings near glasses and bags of flour and a leaking waste pipe. Fiscal depute, Dev Kapadia, said the restaurant had "a chequered history" as Indi Foods was fined ?1,800 in 2006 for failing to control cockroaches and rodents at Suruchi in 2005. Mr Kapadia said inspectors wrote to Rodrigues on several occasions about the restaurant and asked to meet with him, but he said he was "not interested" and failed to attend the meeting and the restaurant was closed voluntarily by staff that day. Rodrigues' earnings The court was told Indi Foods, of which Rodrigues was the director, has been dissolved and Rodrigues is no longer in the restaurant business and rents Suruchi's premises out to new owners. Rodrigues was charged with 10 offences under the Food Hygiene (Scotland) Regulations 2006, and admitted five, including failing to ensure the premises were kept clean and in a good state of repair and failing to ensure drainage facilities were adequate for purpose in that the waste pipe for the wash hand basin was broken causing foul water to gather in the kitchen. He also pled guilty to failing to ensure food was protected against contamination, failing to ensure adequate procedures were in place to control pests and failing to ensure those responsible for hygiene were adequately trained. Massimo Dalvito, defending, said Rodrigues, of Edinburgh, had franchised the restaurant out to another man for six months and had put him in charge of the running and hygiene matters at the time. Sheriff Allan said he wanted to see Rodrigues' accounts before he decided on a fine, adding that he was "not satisfied" he had the full picture about Rodrigues' earnings. The case will be back in court next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blondejamtart Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Well, as Edinburgh itself is a wee bit far for a takeaway for us out-of-towners, I'd like to nominate Memories of India, on the A7 near Gorebridge. Very very good indeed, either for sit-in meals or takeaways! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmiyaRomanova Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Anything you'd recommend on the South Side/Newington? By far the best takeaways - Lasaani and the Highland (!?!) - have both closed down in the last year Places I've already found not up to the job... Kalpna (good, but vegetarian) Suruchi (for H&S reasons if nothing else) The Noor Pataka (well, it's OK I suppose) King's Balti (too inconsistent) Chilli Connection (truly rank) Even the Kebal Mahal's gone downhill a bit in recent years...

savage Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 kebab mahal in nicolson square is the best indian i have ever tasted and go back time and again. you can sit in or take out but it is what i describe as an indian version of a greasy spoon. always full of indians eating which i think is a good indication. a close second is the delta at roseburn. i always have chicken madras, pilau rice and a plain paratha, nightshift the night think i will get one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmiyaRomanova Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Voujon. Right on your doorstep. Aha! When it first opened I clocked the high prices (and lack of takeaway service) and backed off. I guess they must have made things cheaper for the takeaway market. Will give it a shot, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
