Chee Wai WongSeptember 9, 2017Definitely one of the best Indian places. Make your reservations or be prepared to wait - it's super popular. Make sure you order the cheese nan, masala prawns, chai tea!!
- The chilli cheese toast and the chicken ruby are both fantastic! Very tasty food! Highly recommendedUpvoted Mar 20
Özgün CApril 8, 2018Oh my... where to start. Excellent service, infant friendly spaces and the most amazing basmati I’ve ever tasted. Combine it with Sali Boti and you are done with your bucket list for today. AAA+++- Cam_in_BrisJune 29, 2019Worth the hype. Went for dinner twice in two days. Samosas, chili cheese toast, jackfruit biryani, bhel, dahl makhani, roti, naan, vegetables - all excellent. Cocktail bar has superb, unique menu. Go.
Excellent food and drink. You can make a reservation up until 5.45pm. After that, you may have to wait an hour or two.- Cam_in_BrisJune 26, 2019It does live up to the hype. The bar menu is excellent (which is just as well, given the wait!) I could’ve eaten two serves of the lamb samosas. The house black dahl (dahl Makhani) is flawless.
Kseniya PraksinaDecember 5, 2016Amazing service and delicious food! Cocktails were a bit under expectations, everything else is amazing. Love their interiors and playful music selection
Uday Kumar UmesanNovember 25, 2016Lovely atmosphere. Great to have a seat at the soft launch. Okra fry, Paneer tikka, Chicken biriyani, Mahi tikka, Chicken ruby are a must try..
Tristan ComleyMay 29, 2018The Lamb Biriyani is absolutely amazing... the Mint/Lamb/Spice combo is next level! Gunpowder potato was tasty too. It’s all good though you won’t go wrong!
Elif VebizOctober 1, 2017We had the best dinner. The food, atmosphere, the decoration, the friendly service everything was fantastic. A bit pricey but totaly worth it.
Christina ChengAugust 8, 2017We had the best date dinner there, great service and the food can't possibly taste better, good cocktails as well, it's a restaurant I'd give 10/10.
- J GreenJanuary 5, 2020Really crowded on Sundays, make sure to book first! Had a wonderful naan breakfast with a delicious shaved ice for dessert. Worth the visit!
BhavukDecember 28, 2016Great Indian food, excellent customer service. Good choices for vegetarians and very allergy aware staff. House black daal is a must try. Great selection of interesting cocktails.
MrymAugust 27, 2017Probably the best Indian restaurant in Edinburgh , elegant , good service , better to come with reservation , and don't forget to order Edinburgh chief special 😋👌
SambukaOctober 26, 2019This place is completely worth the hype and the wait. Had the chicken ruby, naan, basmati rice, and greens. All perfect.
- Leemor YuravlivkerNovember 9, 2017This place is a flavor explosion (in the best way). Get the okra fries and bhel. Prawns were wonderful too
Andrei JOctober 18, 2018Tasty food and good beer. It might be crowded and a line for dinner, but you have access to the bar until you get a table. It’s worth to wait.
BiancaMay 6, 2018I love this place. Must try: black dahl, chicken tikka, grilled prawns, chef’s lamb dish. Combined with a tasty cocktail
Arash NarchiMay 21, 2019Portions are small and meant to be shared by ordering lots of dishes. Spice levels are low if you’re used to Actual Indian food but flavours and variety of the dishes are unreal - worth checking out!
Kian LaviNovember 18, 2019Everything here is incredible, including their music. Make sure you look up their playlists on Spotify- Christoffel Van rietOctober 17, 2017Food and service are excellent. On top of that they took extra care of our highly sensetive daughter and provided a table off-noice.
Ben EngenNovember 15, 2022A UK-must and one that never disappoints. I had the Edinburgh chef's special and it was excellent. Get in here if you can.
Ersi ChariziMarch 2, 2018The place is awesome! It probably has better Indian good than India itself! Service was great, and the beer (own IPA) was super!- SambukaOctober 26, 2019The shakarkandi chaat. Sweet potatoes, perfect dish. It’s seasonal. If they have it, get it.
Ebru Erkan AyanoğluSeptember 1, 2017Great food, excellent helpfull staff.. If you will eat Indian food for the first time, try it here.. you will be a fan❤️
M UNovember 7, 2018The waiting experience was better than London. They have a bar downstairs and it’s quite nice.
Neeta Chitre-KingJuly 9, 2018Liked the Edinburgh Dishoom better than the London one. Their Jackfruit biryani was interesting...
Sanya KhannaAugust 28, 2018The Salli Notice is to die for!! And one could be satisfied by just ordering that.
Pasquale GalloFebruary 5, 2018This is at the moment the best Indian restaurant in the city. Truly Bombay experience. A must in Edinburgh
Richard BruntonJune 30, 2017Chocolate pudding and spiced ice cream is a big surprise. Wonderful food all round from the dips to the mains.
YassirJuly 10, 2023You’ll wait outside then wait downstairs!! Then your table be ready!!!! But food is delicious and stuff great
Spectacular food, nuff said! No matter what you have, try the black daal. Save some room for dessert!
Manon PauffinJuly 21, 2019Was good. Not usually keen on Indian food but enjoyed this meal and would go back.
Peter Paul van der HoutMay 22, 2019All the food was great. It’s worth the wait, so please do! Staff is friendly as well.- Blair KerrisonJanuary 14, 2017Great Service, super friendly & relaxed. Bacon Naan for breakfast is excellent.
Fiona G.👑November 8, 2017Calamari & ruby chicken curry is delicious 😋 a must try! Briyani portion is good for 2 pax.
Hayat WAugust 5, 2018The food is delicious and the but watch out. They tried to cheat me and added drinks in the bill i did not order it and when I noticed they answered that they had another table that did not pay.
Lynne FergusonMay 22, 2019Kolwadi Prawns, Chilli cheese toast and the butter butta are all fantastic 😋
Jess ParkerDecember 25, 2017The food was great as usual but the service at the Edinburgh Dishoom was very disappointing, especially as we went for a birthday brunch.
