It's a beautiful thing to witness, even better to experience. My Negroni order was sent to the bar while my server and I chatted about what I might like. So efficient. I ended up ordering a couple of small plates. A spicy lamb dish and a hot/cold combo of yogurt and mashed hot veggies. Rather quickly my drink was served and a short while later my food appeared. Those small plates were not so small! Loads of food for one, perfect starters for two. Finished with a house chai - delicious!

Just because this is the first and only review, please don't dismiss Nirvana. I had the most lovely…read moredinner at Nirvana when we were arriving in town and needed a good bite to eat before we checked in to Dalhousie Castle. We made reservations and got a nice comfortable table along the wall with Robert to take care of us. The Malbec wine from Argentina was divine. We had been eating our way across the country and tonight was no different. Everything came out in the little Indian bowls and on warmers...nice touch. We were never rushed and - Samosas (two on each plate, small light and crispy! stuffed with lamb and delicious) - Nirvana Assorted Tandoori (good but my least favorite of all dishes) - Butter Chicken (I have never gone wrong ordering this dish in an Indian restaurant) - Murgh Mango chicken tikka masala (recommended by Robert and one of our favorites) - Beef Jalfrezie (spicy and so good!) - Saag Paneer (spinach!) - Saffron Basmati Rice - Garlic Nan! regular nan and sweet nan!

Kahani was the first place we dined at in Edinburgh. Once we settled in to our Airbnb it was later…read morein the evening. We weren't sure where exactly we would eat but saw this place on a corner and went inside to ask if they were still taking guests for dine in. They let us in with only about 15-20 minutes before kitchen closed, which we came to find out. Even so, they were so friendly and provided great customer service. The decor was nice and the atmosphere peaceful, at least for around 9pm lol Normally I go with some other kind of lamb dish, but wanted to try the fish curry. It was fresh, hot, and flavorful. It did not disappoint. I'd come back here.

Firstly, make sure to bring your own beer/wine, no alcohol served. The naan is wonderful. I had the lamb Saag and the sauce was very nice. Not spicy as advertised, but tasty. Unfortunately the lamb was very tough. I did tell the waiter, and he wanted me to try something else. I honestly just wanted him to know about the lamb. He brought a small chicken dish and it was flavorless. I was really looking forward to a good Indian. They are attentive. But need to work on the spice and flavor.

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.

There are white cloth tablecloths and the waiters are dressed somewhat formally. We were greeted and shown to our table. Our waiter came over immediately to take our drink order. We each ordered Kingfisher beers and they had that one on draft. The menu is multiple pages and very extensive. We ordered a lamb dish and a vegetarian dish. The food came in about 15 minutes. They used a hot plate to keep the main dishes warm. We both thought the lamb dish was excellent. However, my wife did not care for the vegetarian dish (I liked it). Overall, we had a good meal here and a good night out. However, we eat a lot of Indian food and my wife cooks great Indian food (she is Dutch not. Indian). This meal did not 'wow' us like the meals at some other Indian restaurants. We would definitely consider going back to this restaurant.

Let's be clear, I am no great fan of Indian food. My curry preferences are much more Thai style…read morethan than Indian, or UK types. With all that said, Itihaas is outstanding and offers wonderful dishes that can satisfy both the curry lover and the curry "blah" guy like me, all wrapped in a package and bow of quality staff and very nice settings. I am impressed! I really enjoyed my Saktora Lamb and Bhindi along with very good Naan. The lamb was tender and full of flavor, the okra cooked to perfect texture and taste. Being no expert on Indian cuisine I cannot vouch for authenticity, but I certainly would very much recommend Itihaas for a good meal at a nice table!
