Itihaas is Number 5 in the Top 20 Google Indian Restaurant Reviews

The local eateries with go up against the best Asian restaurants and takeaways from around Scotland after more than 10,000 people voted online for their favourite venues, with 70 businesses making the shortlist.

Hosted by BBC News anchor Samantha Simmonds, the gala dinner and awards ceremony will take place at The Sheraton Grand Hotel in Edinburgh on September 18.

The awards, being held for the seventh time, are organised by the Asian Catering Federation (ACF).

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.”

Two of the five best curry restaurants in Scotland are in Midlothian, according to reviewers on global Internet service Google.

The Radhuni in Loanhead is ranked number two and Itihaas in Dalkeith number five in the top 20 based on Google users who left reviews after their meals.

Both restaurants are owned and run by the same family. In April the 120 cover Radhuni was voted Best Restaurant in Edinburgh in the Scottish Curry Awards. Last September it was named Scotland’s best South Asian restaurant at a gala event in London and in 2018 its Head Chef Ashok Ram was voted Chef of the Year in the Scottish Curry Awards.

Radhuni, whose name means ‘passionate cook’ in Bengali, opened in 2011 as Loanhead’s first Indian-style restaurant.

Matin Khan, who runs Itihaas restaurant in Dalkeith’s Eskbank Road, won the Scottish Curry Chef of the Year award in 2014.

His son Habibur, Managing Partner of Radhuni, commented: “The customers of Radhuni and Itihaas are the best judges of the quality of our food and service. We are proud that diners who reviewed us on such an eminent Internet portal as Google have praised both restaurants so highly.”
