stu Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Zaika in Livingston is superb. Never had had bad meal yet in there. A bit dearer than your usual Indians but worth it IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boof Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Haven't got any recommendations as I don't live in Edinburgh (though if not an Indian, I'd say go for Skerries restaurant), but I was just ever-so-slightly amused at your location....in relation to the thread title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chester™ Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Im a Clay Oven fan as well. Usually go there for a sit down meal and there is usually loads more than you get elsewhere too. Khushis was ok but I found it expensive compared to how good it was and how much food you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therapist Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Anybody tried Roti on Morrison Street? Run by Tony Singh that runs Oloroso too Read some good reviews on it but not been as yet Yes. I've been a few times when it was in its previous location. Top notch stuff - Indian food with a difference. I also rate Eastern Pavilions, Ignite, Voujon and Zest. Khushis is cack - boring, unimaginative and over priced. Brittania Spice tries too hard to cover every type of cuisine from the sub-continent. They'd be better concentrating on fewer options of better quality. The Verandah is over rated. If it were me and I was wanting to treat the wife to something special, it'd be Roti.

Pete Seeger Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 The Corstorphine curry club was good when we went although not very posh or romantic if your treating the mrs. I din't think Brittania spice was all that good to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazo Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Not been in a while but the Omar Khayyam at Haymarket has always been one of the best for me. Top quality food at a decent enough price. The Guru - Huge portions and tasty food but not the best looking place in the world. Khushis - Great if you want to keep it simple, Pakora and Lamb bhuna are excellent but a bit pricey, also the not have a licence is a bit of a downer. You can't beat any of those IMO.

gorgiegirl Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Feeling a bit of a porker now as I have been to all previously listed. Roti is excellent, however, it is more akin to a fine dining experience as opposed to "going for a feed" that I normally associate with Indians. A definate must try for a special occasion. Clay oven, Ignite & Omar's always hit the spot, Not a fan of the new ICC or the verandah. The service in Voujon & passage to India were a little poor.

The Old Tolbooth Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 The Guru on Dundee Street/Terrace is the best sit down meal I've ever had in Edinburgh. Not been to that many Indian Restaurants in Edinburgh though I'm afraid. If anyone knows about curry houses it will be you mate, although I have to say that the Guru is an excellent choice and probably the best Indian meal I've ever had in my life! The portions are so big that they offer you a doggy bag to take home with you too, and the nan breads are like freekin kites!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belly Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 glad to hear is still amazing, I may have to make a visit soon, shall hint to the boyfriend....shame i go back to aberdeen tomorrow. Have you tried any curry houses in Aberdeen? I have been to 2 and I would say that kurry on king street was the best I have tasted in Aberdeen. For all the jambo's that have moved from Edinburgh area to Dunfermline area there is a new Indian Kushi's, which is where the old urban grill used to be, same as the one in Edinburgh byob!
