quitongo Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Recently ate at Mother India in Glasgow which was fantastic, but what are people's opinions of the best one in Edinburgh? Any with BYOB? Cheers folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Say What Again Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Kebab Mahal is the best - but gets marked down heavily for a no alcohol policy. http://www.kebab-mahal.co.uk/ Mother India in Edinburgh is just as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kebab mahal has taken a dip IMO. The last 2 curries I had were really, really greasy and the lamb was cheugh/fatty. I had a chicken rogan josh before that and it was superb. But not going to be back for a while tbh as the last two were bad, bad curries. There's a new place, AYman's over the road on Nicolson Square which is BYOB and has had good reviews.

I'll need to give that other one a try the next time the guys go out for a curry. I'm never up that way with the missus for a curry now as Bonofol in Portobello has become superb. It was always OK I thought, bit pricey and nothing really special, but its really improved over the past 18 months and has the bonus of only being 5 mins from home. My only real complaint about the place is it can be too busy at the weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossthejambo Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 The Guru on Dundee Street, Omar Khayyam at Haymarket and Gandhis just off Tollcross are the 3 I usually go to. All very good IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmyjambo Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Had a carry out of Itihaas and it was pretty good,will have to try a sit in there, for byob thereis Imans on nicholson street at surgeons hall which is quite good, mother india is better about ?40 for 2 with a bottle of wine and excellant food, Ignite on Morrison Street also worth a visit.Does anybody know if Kushis is still open on West Nicholson Street.

Auld Reekin' Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Heard good things, must give it a try. It's expensive though, particularly when the waiters try to get you in and out in the minimum possible time... Not been there for years, but that was certainly my experience the last few times I went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Heaney Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Not a restaurant but The Mint (takeaway) in Portobello has never dissapointed us. Think it just opened last June and we have used it most weekends and always enjoyed. Good food, reasonably priced. Worth a punt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The People's Chimp Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Original Kebabish is pretty damn good on Dalry Road. Is part of a franchise. Been to the one on viccy road in glasgow, a few years ago, wasn't bad, haven't rushed back. But being on dalry road is pretty handy for after matches and a few pints.

I was in Iman's last Saturday with a group of mates. The meal was excellent, and it cost us ?20 a head for a fair amount of grub. They also let us stay on for a bit to finish off the bevvy we took in. Would definitely recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super_vlad Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Is part of a franchise. Been to the one on viccy road in glasgow, a few years ago, wasn't bad, haven't rushed back. But being on dalry road is pretty handy for after matches and a few pints. The one on Vic road is one of my fav's, even tho it is part of a franshise the food is all made on site, the one on darly road is very poor compered to the one in glasgow. The food is no-where near as nice, but the menu is much larger. Mother India is my fave in edinburgh, my only one downside is that last time we were my sister asked for the dishes to be a bit hotter, the main all came back with atleast half the bowl with chillis, not a pleast experience but it was our fault for asking them to make it hotter. Not being in the new IMAN's but the old one the food was average at best so in no hurry to try the new one. Oh, and for a cheap bite, can't beat mosque kitchen or kebab mahal !

jimmyjambo Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 just heard the new Kushi's down at the shore has opened,(across from the Kitchen)supposed to be pretty good more seafood dish's but still has lamb and chicken, just wondered has anybody tried it yet?

Joey J J Jr Shabadoo Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Big fan of Omar Khayyam at haymarket, Rivage on easter road and Brittania spice! I used to like that place. Until I got back to work, one day, after 3 weeks on holiday and 10 out of 12 colleagues who ate there on the previous Friday were all off with food poisoning. Haven't been back. Itihaas in Dalkeith is excellent, and it's at the end of my street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
