Enjoyed the meal and staff were very attentive. Were overcharged for wine which staff did put right. However the total bill was still on the high side for what we had compared to other Indian restaurants.

Food was great and service swift but the atmosphere left a lot to be desired. 80s disco mix played at high volume didn't aid digestion and it is a fairly stark place with sticky floors. If I'd known they were going to play YMCA very loudly I certainly wouldn't have come.

We had a great night unfortunately we were late for our booking but the staff couldn't be more helpful and we didn't have to wait long for a table even though the restaurant was full. The food was delicious and the staff and service excellent.

Pre-theatre meal served promptly - a reasonable choice, dominated by chicken dishes. Service was attentive and all members of staff were smiling and pleasant. The food itself was tasty and well-presented.

Food was fantastic, but service a bit random with 3 or 4 staff all trying to take our order and consistently asking if we wanted more drinks- overly attentive at best!

Friendly staff. Beautiful food. Straight across road from Edinburgh Playhouse. Very reasonable prices. Go every time we go to Edinburgh. Little bit chilly if you go early but that's the only downfall.

What is there to complain about? Lovely food, attentive and friendly staff in pleasant surroundings. If you require parking that may prove an issue later in the evening but well worth a visit

Food tasty; long wait for main course. Bit stingy on the paneer for £8.50. Good service and well handled complaint. Toilets need a good clean and better management - ran out of loo paper!

We were there early on Hogmanay and it was very good - the curries were delicious and the staff were very helpful. This is one of the best places in Edinburgh for a curry at any time.

Food was absolutely beautiful, staff a little over keen to take order, had 5 different waiting staff in the space of around 5 mins as they didn't seem to have a system in place but this certainly wouldn't stop me going back as they were all very friendly and polite. Would definitely return

Our experience was chaotic. I had called to change the reservation time by 30 minutes. Although I got confirmation by phone, when we arrived they had no clue. We had to wait for a table. Multiple servers were responsible for us, causing confusion. None were particularly friendly. We waited 45 minutes between our appetizer and main course. We requested drink refills three times before a server finally arrived with incorrect drinks. He seemed annoyed with us. At this point we just wanted to pay and leave, as our experience was sub-par and the music inhibited any possible conversation. No dessert for us - no thank you! Please just release us from this torture. The food was average.

well situated for pre theatre meal if going to the Playhouse although we had to ask for the pre theatre menu as it wasn't automatically given to us on arrival. Good value menu - beware of HUGE naan breads. Can't fault the meal or the quick service. Every member of staff was excellent.

Ein ziemlich lautes Lokal. Auf den ersten Gang mussten wir leider vierzig Minuten warten. Der Service war sehr freundlich. Wegen der Wartezeit wurde, ohne dass wir uns beschwert haben, eine Reduktion bei der Rechnung gemacht. Das Essen war wirklich ausgezeichnet. Deshalb eine 5.

Very nice food, manager is very pro active, only issues we had are small, none of our glasses matched, our drinks order was not correct but acted on quickly, our wine served in a ice bucket which had ice at the bottom but the bottle sticks out the top (add water and ice so the bottle settles in the Base of the ice bucket) no offer to taste wine either and no hot towel to finish the meal? All the staff are pleasant but this is a very popular place and good food at reasonable prices, just needs a bit of style

Excellent food and range of dishes. We couldn't help trying everyone's at the table! Staff also friendly and attentive. A fantastic pre show treat. Also, given we had starters, mains and drinks the bill was a pleasant surprise! Would certainly go again.

Amazing food! Packed with so much flavour, felt like I was in India! Good friendly service, very efficient and quick to take orders. Did not need to wait long periods of time between courses. The only negative would be that there was only ice cream for dessert. Top notch!
