At the first visit we were more than satisfied. The food palette is great with many options that are also a large size. the staff was super friendly and make them welcome. definitiw will be back

First, eating is very good. it is different from other Indian foods we get in Europe. it is different because they are much too home made sauce-based foods that are unique to them. now comes the most important, the hostess, they are only the best ever restaurant crew I have come. a restaurant with mama, papa, son and daughters, the whole family. therefore they receive a reception they receive when they visit someone at home.

This restaurant is truly a wonderful gem in Edinburgh, and it's a must-visit for anyone in the city. Guests are greeted with warm smiles and exceptional hospitality. The food is crafted by a humble Bangladeshi family who puts their heart and soul into every dish. The aroma from the kitchen creates a magical experience throughout the restaurant. My personal favorite is the lamb dish; I love spicy food, and the flavor is unforgettable. I wish the family all the best and will definitely return whenever I have the chance.
