We were on a roadtrip of Scotland for 5 days. The fourth day, we had good food here. The service was good. It just has a limited food menu.

Second visit today after one year. Same quality and same service maintained throughout. I don't feel adding more reviews to this place as it's already have good value over here but as a foodie when my plate gets over it means it is delicious. They are maintaining the authenticity of Indian food and I loved it. Super budget friendly and of course recommended. Don't think twice go there and get stuffed nicely.

Not cheap, but definitely punching well above it's pricetag. Food was superb, and loved the tapas element that allowed us to try lots of different things. Paratha was amazing, as was ginger and garlic chicken. Definitely going again ????

We came for dinner on a rainy Monday night. It was busy but they found us a table for two. The food was absolutely delicious. I had the chicken butter and my friend the Dhaal. Their chutney was pretty Goff and their Naans were fragrant and delicious

Good and service was excellent! Really tasty food and a great way to try 2-3 dishes. A bit loud on the lower ground floor as it was busy, but no biggie!

Best Indian food we have ever had. Food was so fresh and cooked to perfection.

We had a wonderful meal! Samosas, chicken dish, a paneer, and a mushroom dish. A little too much for 2 people but we managed. Service was prompt, friendly and very helpful with answering questions and recommending dishes.

Tasteless food!
Firstly we got put on the side of someone else’s table, but we thought nothing of it because we were hungry. Food took 50 minutes to arrive for a Wednesday evening. When the food arrived we were very disappointed as the curry had no flavour and I asked for some extra sauce but this arrived when we finished our food. I’ve never noticed nann bread to be crispy at first I thought it was a popadom. It was the texture of a popadom. Rice was cooked nice, but again sagg aloo not much flavour. Overall extremely disappointing.

Best Indian restaurant in Edinburgh

The server who took the order seemed disinterested while taking the order and was not polite at all. It seemed he was most disinterested in working and was being forced to do so. The chapati was not properly cooked .I am sure they can do better than this.

Wow! Yep, wow. Some of the best Indian food we've ever had. The quality was perfect, spices rich & robust. Loved it. We ate her twice during our 4 days in Edinburgh because it was simply that good. I loved the tapas style as it allows you to try multiple things easily. The garlic Naan was amazing, the vegetable pakoras were the best I've had. Saag Paneer & butter chicken were delicious, and we loved the aubergine & potato, minced lamb dosa, and dal makhani. The chutneys were fantastic as well. Everything we tried was perfect. Service was excellent every time. I can't recommend this place enough.

Lunch time in Edinburgh's Mother India. An Indian cuisine tapas bar. The bar wasn't very busy when I was there. The food was excellent and a very good choice. I had a gin too, well served. The service was very good, plenty of waiters so no waiting and the waiters were very polite. Gave lots of space but served then cleared away very efficiently. Go there and enjoy.

disappointing experience
Overrated

The quality was really bad, Probably one of the worst and the restaurant I have been to in my life. The test was below average and the service wasn’t that good.
For example, I have ordered one cheese and garlic naan but he brings for me a chili nan
When I ask him that this is not what I have ordered, he said OK I will fix it for you
He took the plate. He put it in front of the kitchen and I was looking into it and he brings it back (the same plate) then he said that’s your order.
When I told him, it is the same, he said, by mistake. then he didn’t bring what I have ordered. He just put garlic on it and brings it with the chili on it.
Also, the chicken and the butter chicken wasn’t cooked fine and wasn’t in a good condition to eat
The lamb biryani was very bad as the lamb quality was the worst and probably it’s very old.

Out of 5:
butter chicken 1/5
Prawn gravy 2/5
Lamb biryani 1/5
Cheese naan 4/5
Cheese with garlic naan 0/5
Fish tikka 3/5
Chicken tikka 2.5/5
Service 2.5/5

Très bon restaurant indien qui a pour particularité de servir les plats en petites portions ce qui permet de goûter à plusieurs plats différents lors d'un même repas. Nous avons donc sélectionné plusieurs plats et accompagné le tout de chapati, un régal!
