Rava dosa could've been slightly less oily and more porous but tasted great anyway. Felt slightly on the pricier side when compared to the ambiance. The timings of the restaurant are very limited. Restrooms are located in the basement (just like with other Indian restaurants in Edinburgh) but the floor there is extremely slippery. They have enough signs to caution users but was a bit of a bummer.

Don't get me wrong - unfamiliar can be a very good thing! The food is very tasty and quite good. Ambiance-wise, Tanjore isn't the fanciest, but with food this good I'd unquestionably recommend it to anyone who enjoys excellent Indian food! An extra benefit: Tanjore is BYOB with no corkage fee :-)

This was the best and spiciest curry I found in Edinburgh…read more It was also had the single best restaurant decor I have EVER seen. The place is literally family-run and they're some of the most hospitable and friendly people in the world. I went on a curry tour of Edinburgh while I was on holiday. I've eaten curry on three continents now and, back home, I like to get my Indian take-away and add both habaneros and ghost pepper hot sauce to it before I eat it. Curry, and especially spicy curry, is very much an essential part of my life. So I picked a new Indian joint each night while I was in the city in an attempt to find it. The Kismot Killer wasn't available at the time I showed up but I was advised by my waiter (one of the coolest, most welcoming guys I've ever met) it's so spicy that it takes away from the actual FLAVOR of the curry, anyway. Let's be honest, there's a point when spicy becomes less about flavor and enjoyment than pure ego. So I got the next spiciest curry on the menu - Vegetable Naga - and asked for IT extra spicy, with rice and chapati. The food was EXCELLENT. The dish, even without modification, was ACTUALLY a fair amount spicy - which, if I can taste a bit of spice, most people probably shouldn't eat it - and the flavors were SO vivid and pleasant. I would've preferred it spicier by a bit but that's okay, it was still the spiciest curry I was able to find in the city and definitely my favourite. Next time I go to Edinburgh I shall be visiting again.

The place is popular with both locals and tourists alike, so reservations are a MUST. If the variety of the menu overwhelms you, and you want to play it safe, The Garlic Nan, Vegetable Samosas, and Chicken Pakorah are among the "smaller" items that pack just as much flavour as everything else. Be mindful of some of the meat items, as they can pack quite a kick. Drinks are plentiful, as well, but don't expect the best selection of alcoholic beverages. Hey, no place is perfect.

Wow, another Nepalese restaurant in city, never seen so many Nepalese restaurants in a city…read moreSince we were staying nearby, we decided to try a local restaurant instead of heading to the usual prime locations like Princes Street or the Royal Mile. Coming from the same region myself, I naturally connect with Nepalese food and am always eager to try authentic dishes whenever I get the chance... Seems, it is very popular, and The Khukuri has been an Edinburgh favorite for almost twenty years Nepalese food is often considered a combination of ingredients, flavors and cooking styles of a variety of cultures, including India. We ordered- Momo Jhol: never leave a chance to have momo at an authentic Nepalese joint. And it did not disappoint after all - 4/5 * Chicken Sekuwa: but it did. I know what sekuwa is, and it was far from that. Ofcourse I asked the serverbut the response was the usual, that We've adapted it to suit local tastes.- 2/5 * Lamb Biryani: not the biryani you guys would expect, it's more of lamb curry with rice Ofcourse, I was expecting more in terms of food taste, but overall owner's warmth, quick service,and even every server is there to help you, doesn't matter that table belongs to him/her or not Feel like home Food - 3/5 Overall - 4/5

I'd popped in and out of a few other restaurants that were fully booked, and was pleasantly surprised to find open tables when I walked into Gurkha. The ambiance was cozy, and felt like I was eating inside a family's home. The food was delicious and plentiful for the price. I was so thirsty from sightseeing, I drank my mango lassi before I thought to capture a photo for this review. It was just the right consistency of thickness and sweetness. For appetizers, I had the king prawns. It was perfectly spiced and delicious. It was followed by chicken biryani and naan. There was a sauce provided for the biryani that took it up another notch. For me, the prawns were the star of the show. At the end of my meal, I got a chance to chat with the owner and learned they are from Nepal. It was a pleasant exchange and the service was great.

AVOID. Absolutely shambolic from start to finish…read more Ordered at 7:31pm via Uber Eats. Food arrived just after 10:30pm. Nearly three hours for a takeaway. Tried calling at 10pm -- automated message saying they're not taking calls. Repeated attempts later, I finally got through. Was actually questioned on how we'd "waited three hours" when the app said it had been out for delivery for 90 minutes. Because the clock starts when you order -- not when you pretend it's been dispatched. Driver then called asking me to come to the car park to collect it. After a three-hour wait? Absolutely not. When it finally arrived, we were told they'd taken 40 delivery orders at the same time. That might look good on paper, but all it means is 40 angry customers. If you can't handle the volume, stop accepting orders. Basic business. Then the real disaster began. * Two items missing. * Entire order wrong. * Vegetarian dish came with chicken. * Lamb dish was chicken. * Wrong naan. So not just slow -- completely incompetent. Called again. Told it was "impossible" because they photograph every order. Apparently I've got nothing better to do than invent missing food after waiting three hours? Promised call backs that never came. Hung up on. Told refunds "aren't possible" from their end (not true -- they just don't want to take the hit). Then had the audacity to say if we still wanted food we'd have to order and pay again. £56 spent. Nearly three and a half hours wasted. Wrong food. Missing items. Rude staff. Zero accountability. I've worked as a chef for 21 years. Busy services happen. Delays happen. Mistakes happen. What doesn't have to happen is arrogance, overbooking orders you can't fulfil, and treating customers like they're the problem. This wasn't just poor -- it was dysfunctional. Order here if you enjoy gambling with your money, your time, and whether you'll actually eat that night. Never Again!!!

Food for my friends seemed acceptable, but not worth the £24 each of us paid after getting simple meals. The music gave off a weird vibe and I ended up not eating my food because it wasn't what I asked for and then once fixed, tasted worse. Dont want to give only one star because I think they really are trying, just maybe need to work out some kinks! Loved the white wine I enjoyed from South Africa, although seemed a bit overpriced. Hope this was helpful, I'd probably try somewhere else!
