"There's so many good restaurants to choose from in Leith/Edinburgh but the Golden Ambal will always be the place to go for dosa. Went with a friend for dinner and unsurprisingly I had a plain dosa for my starter. The chutneys are always delicious but the sambar was the star. I've read online that Indian families will save the sauce from a previous days meal to use as the sambar. In this case it's a simple vegetable curry like a base curry that other curries are made from. It's so good I would be happy with that as a main course. I was looking forward to a lamb vindaloo which was as delicious as I remembered it being. Not only is this a really tasty dish but it also cleared my sinuses and left me with the unique sense of well that comes after eating spicy food. Perhaps a little sweeter than usual but nevertheless delicious. The staff are always welcoming and the service was friendly and attentive. From the outside it looks like there's only 4-5 tables but there's a much larger dining area downstairs. It's also less than 5 minutes walk from the McDonald Road tram stop so very easy to get to."

"I recently ordered takeout from Balti house, and it exceeded my expectations! The food arrived hot and fresh, with each dish packed carefully to preserve its quality. The flavors were incredible, especially the Chicken Tikka Masala, which was just as delicious as dining in. The ordering process was smooth, and the staff were friendly and efficient. If you're looking for a reliable takeout option that doesn’t compromise on taste or quality, [Restaurant Name] is definitely the place to go. I'll be ordering again soon!"

"Although the food was nice, the experience was not! The manager was rude and did not make us feel welcome. Rushed us to order saying we had limited time at the table as it was booked for another group in 90 minutes. Then the food took forever to arrive. Waiting for the bill and for a waiter to come and take our payment felt like an eternity! We left 45 minutes after the time the manager said the next booking was due to arrive, they never came because there was no other booking! One waiter opened the door for us when we left and said thank you. That was the most polite any of the staff had been all evening. Very disappointing and no wonder the staff are miserable with a manager like that! We were looking for a place for the 8 of us to meet up regularly, it won't be at Vakas! Will never go there for a meal again!"

"I have ordered food from this restaurant several times now and have no complaints about the quality or price. However, the delivery service is very poor. The first time we ordered, we waited nearly 2 hours and I ended up walking to the restaurant to pick it up, only to receive a call from my wife saying the food had arrived while I was out. I tried calling to check on the order, but couldn't get through. Other reviews seem to agree with this experience. They also have a permanent advertisement for delivery drivers in the window, which might be part of the problem. It's a great curry house for collection since we are only 5 minutes away."

"What can I say! Ordered £30 worth of food from here, was here really quick and the food was absolutely amazing.. moved from other side of Sheffield and not been able to find a curry what’s any good (I’m quite picky) and took a shot in dark at this place and was not disappointed, will be a regular now"

"I am a long standing customer of The Spice Merchant and unfortunately the consistency just isn’t there. It’s never bad, sometimes great, but mostly good. Recently prices seemed to have increased across the board, but also portion size has been reduced, so it no longer feels like value for money. The naan is almost half the size, but is almost twice as expensive. The meat in most dishes seems to have halve too, but are now about £3 more expensive. Popadoms used to be included, but are no £1 each?"

"we had never visited this restorative before when we arrived at it not very busy, I think 4 tables were included. there were at least 5 waiters. we have ordered a beer and poppadome and then our order for our main. the dives with the poppadoms were watery, including the mango cutney. we ordered another beer, but our food had not arrived yet, I asked a waiter and he checked with the kitchen and he said it would be 5 miute, we waited 10/15 minutes, but still no eating, so we agreed that we would pay for what we had and go. we talked to another waiter to advise him about it, and he said that eating would be 5 minutes more. we said we were going, as we said 20 minutes ago. we had to go and pay and waited for the bill. all this time, when we bing said that it's coming, but it didn't really appear. the waiter who edited the bill, apologised, but did not offer a good willing discount, although I told him that it was our first visit there so that we ended paying £14.70 for 2 beer and 2 poppadome. When we left the time, we were in there for about 75 minutes. if they were busy, that could be understandable, but the waiters were just about most of the time."

"We stopped by for lunch while exploring the area. At first, I thought the restaurant was closed because it was so quiet, but the manager greeted us warmly. We ordered some Bombay-style snacks to nibble on, and they were quite spicy (I usually avoid spicy foods), but very enjoyable nonetheless. My partner's chicken starter was a bit too salty for our taste (we try to limit salt for health reasons), but the chef came over to chat with us and generously offered to prepare another chicken starter right away. He also adjusted our mains to suit our preferences. The mango lassi was delicious, as was the virgin piña colada. The portion sizes were great too (pictures were taken after we finished eating)."

"I thought I would start the week with a curry. Ordered online for a later collection. I fancied a change from my usual mixed grill and opted for my other favourite which is a Thali. Good portion size including chicken tikka, kebab, tikka masala and a lamb curry. This was washed down with rice and a naan bread. The tikka and kebab were quite nice. Well cooked and fairly well spiced. The two curries were ok. Nothing to write home about but perfectly acceptable. The naan was properly cooked and had a lovely flavour There was a lot of it and I was unable to finish it. I would recommend this place if you are after a decent good value meal."

"same place every time. Last night we decided to try the new Italian restaurant that just opened in town. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. We started with some delicious garlic bread and bruschetta, followed by a creamy carbonara pasta and a flavorful margherita pizza. Everything was cooked to perfection and the portion sizes were just right. We left feeling satisfied and will definitely be returning to try more dishes from their menu. Overall, a great dining experience at a new favorite spot."
