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.

This is the best Indian/Bangladeshi restaurant in Edinburgh, and possibly in all of Great Britain. Our large group sampled a variety of dishes from the menu, and each one was delicious with a truly authentic flavor. The standout dish was undoubtedly the lamb deshi kani—it was simply amazing. The service was exceptional as well; the staff were charismatic, friendly, and hospitable, providing great recommendations. I can't wait to return when we’re back in Edinburgh!

Without a doubt, this is the best Indian restaurant we've experienced in Edinburgh! The service was outstanding, and the food was delicious, with a home-cooked feel. The family who runs the restaurant are wonderful people and incredibly friendly. I highly recommend it!

I love going to Kismot there's always such a warm welcome. The food tastes authentic, just like the food I've had on holiday in India and Bangladesh. Very happy buzzy atmosphere and outstanding food!
