WELCOME TO THE ORIGINAL ONLY KISMOT! Nestled in the heart of Edinburgh at 29 St. Leonards Street, our wee family restaurant offers a warm and inviting atmosphere where Mum and Dad craft authentic Indian and Bangladeshi dishes with passion and care. At Kismot, we pride ourselves on providing outstanding service, all while embracing a charmingly modern twist on traditional cuisine. We believe in treating our customers like family, showering everyone with genuine love and affection. While we strive for perfection, we acknowledge that we’re only human, and if we slip up, we encourage you to share your feedback during your visit—it's the only way we can learn and improve! Kismot is the sole establishment serving the original Kismot Killer curry, a culinary challenge so fierce, it’s internationally recognized! Our culinary masterpiece is crafted using the top five hottest chillies in the world, expertly combined to create a dish that’s lightning hot and utterly unforgettable. But beware, you’ll need to sign a legal disclaimer and be prepared to donate 25% of the cost to charity if you attempt to conquer it. And remember, if you finish it, it’s on the house! We invite you to book your table and experience our extraordinary food. With free corkage when you BYOB, Kismot isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience worth savoring. Thank you to our amazing customers for the ongoing support, as reflected in your wonderful reviews on Trip Advisor. We can't wait to welcome you! Join us for a meal from 4:30 PM to 11:30 PM, six days a week (we're closed on Tuesdays). Give us a call at 0131 667 0123 or drop an email at info@kismot.co.uk to secure your spot.

In the heart of Edinburgh lies a captivating Indian restaurant that promises not just a meal, but an experience. Run by the warm-hearted Ali family, diners are greeted with exceptional hospitality and a genuine home-cooked feel. While some dishes, like spicy lamb, leave an unforgettable impression, the restaurant also offers a variety of other options that cater to diverse palates. With lovely decor, the eatery allows guests to bring their own drinks, enhancing the overall value. Despite some inconsistencies in execution, the heartfelt service and welcoming atmosphere make this establishment a true gem worth revisiting.
