This is my favourite place for Indian food. It is a vegetarian and vegan restaurant and take away. The aubergine dish ( Baingan Achari) or thaalis are fantastic.

Great lunch menu with lovely interior and great views over Edinburgh and onto the castle. It can get a bit noisy. So if you like a quiet place I would recommend The Grainstore.

Great afternoon tea in Edinburgh if you have booked early. The setting is beautiful and lunch is also very delicious. If you haven’t been able to get a table here try the Grand Cafe on North Bridge. It’s also cheaper.
