The best South Indian cuisine I've had so far in the UK. Had dosa (for dinner , yes dinner that's how much i missed south Indian food)and the sambar and chutney were so fresh, simply outstanding.
Their beef curry and lamb curry were on spot. We loved the food so much that we decided to order a portion of mutton biryani and that was killer too 😍.
A must visit place. Can't wait to go back there to satisfy my south Indian cravings .
They let you carry your own beer.
Best Indian food in Scotland! Everything was fresh, beautifully served, with live music we definitely had great evening. Lots of choices for people who love spicy food or who prefer mild meals like me. Everything was delicious. Don't forget to order a dessert! Heaven in mouth and so original. Highly recommend!

I'm going to leave an especially long review, because Wow, this is a a food destination, and greedy husband says it's the best takeaway he's had in the USA *and* since coming to the UK. Well deserved of the awards won.
Our photos don't do it justice (the photos are after we plundered our first meal)
First off, it's great value, the pricing is perfect. Great quality ingredients, portions very good, and you can taste the quality and care gone into it. Secondly, the guy delivered to us in Morrison's carpark, and a service with a smile.
The taste was sensational. We have eaten Sri Lankan and South Indian regional dishes before, however many on this menu we had not tried and it bested the ones we already had.
We also ordered their regular tempered daal, you can judge a chef by his basic daal dish and this did not disappoint. Before tasting the food, we opened up the lids and knew by the smell and natural colour we were in for a treat.
The chicken nilgirl was rich and so bright in flavour with green chillis, mint, balanced by cashew and coconut, it was our fave curry, the Gongura Mammsam had deep slow cooked flavour, plenty of heat, the mutton was so tender and cooked with sorrel, something we had never tried before. We also had the Hyderabadi biryani, generous portion and the best biryani we have ever tasted, so often they are disappointing and lazily cooked. This was whole pieces of chicken, whole spices, cooked the traditional way.
We also ordered the chicken kothu, again traditionally made, their parrotta is to die for, butter, layered and an almost croissant like flat bread. Lastly holla at my boy, CURD RICE, this was the perfect companion to the rich spicing of each dish, was a beautiful texture and refreshing flavour that acted as a cooling pallette cleanser in-between tastes of other dishes. It's a must have alongside the pokey delicious curries.
We are so glad to have found this gem, but so sad we don't live in Edinburgh and can eat here every week.
It's ok tho, we still have hefty leftovers.
Well-done guys. We love you.
Ordered takeaway.
Definitely South Indian flavours, not the usual UK Indian. Real curry leaves were used, which gives the South Indian dishes it's authentic aroma and flavour.
Parotta was proper flaky, price a bit steep though.
Kerala beef fry was spicy, with real coconut slices, just like in you'd get in Kerala.
Tamil Nadu lamb Biriyani was real tasty, good quantity, may be could have a few more pieces of meat.
Kotthu parotta was a bit too wet for my liking, but tasted good nevertheless.
Definitely will be trying more dishes from here.
Service was really good, it is just take away only, no dine in here. Food was really good, we ordered chicken biriyani, chicken kothu parotta, chukka, chicken 65, all were good. Packaging was also good. Overall very nice. Thanks for good desi food in Edinburgh, Scotland.

I had the opportunity to try this fantastic restaurant since I was in Edinburgh for the Christmas New year break 2021. I think this is the best finish I could have had. I ordered via just eat app. chicken dum Briyani, curd rice, parotta with black channa curry and couple of chappathis. I was surprised to see how the chicken Briyani was well cooked and it had the flavour which I had been missing after my visit to the UK. The chicken in the briyani was soft and the raita gave good company to it. Parotta was both soft and crispy and went well with the black channa curry which had the Kerala touch to it with coconuts and pepper. You should definitely try the kadala curry for sure. The curd rice was soft and fluffy. Got the opportunity to meet the owner himself since he delivered the order. A very passionate who is burning the midnight oil to make this venture a big success. I think we should support by all possible chance. His motive seems very genuine and it's nothing but customer satisfaction. Kudos dude. Keep up the good work. Waiting for your dine in experience soon. :)
Came to dine-in for the Onam Sadhya. The food was excellent with all the standard items served. It had the authentic Kerala cuisine taste.
One of my new favourite spots for takeout. So much flavour and some really exciting dishes that I haven't seen elsewhere (e.g. the deep-fried cauliflower or the lamb rolls), just be ready for spice!!! Also, great vegan dishes that are well sign-posted on the menu.
Excited to check-out their place in Dalry too!
My first time having Indian breakfast and it was SO GOOD. This place right around the corner from me and I feel blessed to have in my neighborhood. Everything was delicious and the coffee and chai were perfect for a chilly morning. Highly recommend.
This place is head and shoulders above every other takeaway in the area. The food is always cooked to perfection with incredible flavour. I'm also amazed at how the food is 10 out of 10 every time, usually even good takeaways have bad days, but not Chennai's Marina! Please don't ever change!
