Asian cuisine restaurants Edinburgh

The service is unashamed in this modern and authentic Indian canteen, next to the Edinburgh Mosque. Both students and the diaspora of the Asian subcontinent frequent this region, where they eat a cuisine made up of fresh products, sourced locally, in generous portions. Chicken, lamb or vegetable dishes are very popular and can be taken to the courtyard on sunny days. The place is perfect for a lunch or dinner break with family or friends, in all simplicity and friendliness.

Mother India's Café is certainly the most famous Indian restaurant in the capital. The parent company is located in Glasgow, but the Edinburgh brand has nothing to be ashamed of with its success and the locals are not mistaken.

The tasting delights the palate and is full of surprises. Theme evenings and menus are sometimes offered.

Freshly landed on the culinary scene of the capital, this urban address is not in a caravan but in a small Teviot Place room. The brick, wood and metal decoration is quite typical of this young and modern style of establishment and the food is that of a successful Thai food street. Rice, noodles, soups and small dishes are the main elements of the menu.

A few meters from the Greyfriars Bobby statue, this small Japanese restaurant offers a cuisine that goes far beyond the usual sushi with dishes in sauce and even Japanese curries. Some dishes are served in Bento boxes. A wide variety of sake and even Japanese whisky are on the menu, for a taste that makes you travel. The decoration is zen, just like the service.
