Tynieman Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) I've just ordered a takeaway from this place after it was recommended to me. It seems a bit pricy but was wondering whether anyone had eaten from there, and if so, what your thoughts were? I've ordered Chilli garlic chicken..looking forward to it!

It's a shame as I have heard really good things about the place. The naan was dry without any meat in it. The chicken was dry, and was almost inedible. Pretty gutted as it''s quite expensive!

luckyBatistuta Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Had so many recommendations of Indian takeaways that have turned out to be really poor. Never tried this one and won’t be now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooperstar Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 That's a shame. I had heard good things too but had also read some bad reviews which put me off trying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pablo Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Our pakora and bhaji was inedible tonight. Not cooked through and fried long enough, so the batter was still runny in the middle with a strong taste of the gram flour. The mains were alright thankfully. From The Miraj in D'Mains. 6.5/10.

I was recently reading reviews for Indian takeaways in Portobello...one of the reviews said to avoid the place at all cost, because he had found a toenail in his meal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have this habit of sucking chocolate until there is nothing left, annoys the hell out of my wife. Anyway, one day I was driving along sucking on a piece of caramel shortcake from a pack of four. As it was breaking down in my mouth, it started to feel rough. When I pulled whatever it was out of my mouth, that’s when I realised I was sucking on someone’s finger nail. I was trying not to throw up, actually felt physically sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbojambo Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Saiyem's in Gorgie Road is excellent although always phone as it's at least a 30 minute wait. The Everest at tollcross is superb too but I recommend sitting in as the waiter is really helpful and his recommendations are always worth listening too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheile Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 For those in the south of Edinburgh I would recommend The Hill Station in Comiston Road, never been disappointed by anything ordered from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
