ACF chairman Yawar Khan said: “We are seeing some remarkable creativity by pioneering restaurateurs and chefs, adapting to challenging trading conditions and more sophisticated customer preferences, showcasing Scotland’s world-leading produce, especially its seafood, game, neeps and tatties.”

Serving a fresh taste of Bangladeshi and Indian cuisine in the heart of Scotland, Itihaas restaurant is excited for their 10 year anniversary. This award-winning restaurant always has an intriguing menu and now there is something new on offer to help celebrate.

The word Itihaas is derived from the Hindi language, meaning ‘history’. The restaurant of this name has had plenty of history in the past 10 years. With the mission of offering delicious Bangladeshi and Indian meals in Dalkeith, Itihaas has grown with success. Itihaas has always focussed on keeping their meals simple yet flavoursome. Itihaas has won many awards over the competition with their high standards in good quality dishes and service. Recently, a winner of the Scottish Curry Award 2017 and Trip advisor Certificate of Excellence in 2017, Itihaas is well deserving.

Flavoured with impeccable herbs and spices, the meals at Itihaas will whet your appetite. The staff always has a good recommendation of wine to complement the intricacies of the dishes. Great care and attention is put into every meal which is served in a pleasant and relaxed environment.

The restaurant was opened by Matin Khan in 2007. His belief that cooking is an art form to create aromatic dishes has endured across the years. As well as creating mouth-watering dishes using Indian and Bangladeshi spices and flavours, Khan has also encouraged an involvement in the community. Itihaas regularly sponsors the local community including Newtongrange Star football team – and charity events, such as donations to the Saltersgate School.
