Dangal

Don’t be put off by the look of this small Indian restaurant as the food is really excellent. We choose dishes from the Dangal specialties list which were unique dishes prepared in house and were very tasty. (To often Indian restaurants buy in their sauces in big drums and throw in the meat/ veg). We had the Ginger Chicken Spinach Leaf which was the one of the best unique dish I have had for a long time. The King Prawn Shakuti was a sweet contrast to the GCSL. The portions are a good size and I think having a starter would have been too much for us as we had a peshwari Nan and one pulao rice and were full afterwards. They don’t have draft beer but have cold bottles of Cobra so we were very pleased with the meal. Habib who waited on us was very attentive and friendly. We arrived just after a party of 8 and we thought the service would be slow but after they had served them drinks they took our order and they rightly prioritised us over the group. Thank you for that Habib. I only gave 3 stars to atmosphere as it wasn’t the best decorated restaurant or buzzing with life. But that doesn’t bother us. Good food is our goal! We were staying two nights in Edinburgh at the Holiday Inn up the road so this was a welcome find. If you do visit I recommend you ask Habib for his suggestion of their unique dishes. I hope more people find the Dangal and support this gem.

I would like to appreciate all the staffs who took my order and prepare my food yesterday night at the last moment. I came from a tour after a whole day and came to the restaurant at almost closing time. Still they took my order without making it any delay and prepared the food very tastefully. The quality and quantity, both were perfect to me. I took pulao rice, chicken curry, Vindi vaji(I might not be writing the exact name but I showed them the menu), and the taste was awesome. I will definitely come again to this restaurant whenever I will be coming to Edinburgh. Thank you so much.

We absolutely loved it here! Habib, our server, was excellent. He was so kind toward our baby girl and was very attentive throughout our whole experience. The food was excellent. We got the madras, chicken tikka masala, garlic chili naan, regular naan, and rice. All of it was delicious, freshly made, and reasonably priced. We can’t wait to come back. :)
