Why the Short Drive is Worth It
Many of our customers tell us that the 20-minute drive from Edinburgh is one of the best decisions they make. You get award-winning food — we hold more national awards than most city-centre Indian restaurants — at lower prices, in a relaxed atmosphere, with free parking right outside. No fighting for a table on a busy Edinburgh high street. No circling for parking. Just great food and a warm welcome.
As one TripAdvisor reviewer put it: the food “surpasses anything the city centre provides in terms of Indian cuisine.”
