"Had food here and the carvery was fine. Bar staff were sharp and nice. the place is very big but I have never been in there late. Loads of ex footballers come to the pub for events so it has a been football following and live music. Not sure if it felt like my kinda evening venue so I never tried. Its the same sort of thing as the Bell and the Carpenter. They all start to blend one into the other with styling, menus and target markets. If its your thing go for it."

"One of the best places to eat in Edinburgh. I used to visit this place regularly years ago. Came back to edinburgh for a day trip and still the same quality food. There is loads of fancy places to eat but this place place is simple with great tasting food. Well done guys."

"The restaurant has lovely decor and comfortable seating. It doesn't feel crowded, making it very COVID-friendly. The service was attentive but not overbearing, and the food was hot and very tasty. This place is the best saag distributor in North London!"

"Average food, average atmosphere, grumpy staff. Overall an indian restaurant with uninspired and medium cooking. Dishes looked all kind of the same: some red to brown curry with something in it. We had to pay extra for your rice I have never encountered a restaurant before where you have to pay for your rice to add to your curry. Recommended only if all other restaurants in this area are too busy..."

"Wow! What a taste sensation! A lovely chilled out atmosphere with no rush. Polite, attentive team, what a breath of fresh air from what has become the norm with eating out nowadays. We will have to go back to try all the tempting delights on their menu! My meal was so delicious but my husbands was equally so! Definitely going back with our friends and family. Cannot recommend this place enough."

"Myself and my partner have been coming here every few weeks for nearly a year now, even right now while we’re both kind of broke. We will continue to do so. The food is fantastic, the best curry i’ve had in london and the owner is always so kind and up for a friendly chat. We always get the same thing, which I imagine isn’t their priciest order, but we are never pressured to spend more (which makes a massive difference and keeps you coming back to a place). The same certainly can’t be said of other restaurants in the area, and particularly the road. Would give 10 stars if I could."

"This is our favorite spot for curries because they cater to all dietary needs, including allergies and gluten or dairy restrictions. The curries are always delicious and portion sizes are decent. We also love their Papadum pickles. Although prices can be a bit high, they often have specials on their website and offer discounts through email sign-ups. The staff is attentive and always makes sure we're satisfied. We usually visit on weekdays for a quieter experience, but even on busy Friday nights, we receive great service. The restaurant has a traditional décor and music which adds to the ambiance. If you're looking for high-quality Indian curries with fast and attentive service, I highly recommend this place."

"The majority of the food at the restaurant was delicious, however, the popadoms were extremely oily. The waiter explained that they had just been fried, but we found this explanation unacceptable as we have dined at many Indian restaurants and never experienced such greasy popadoms before. The waiter did offer us a complimentary masala popadom, but it was no better. We were also disappointed to learn that the restaurant's alcohol license had expired when we tried to order drinks, which should have been mentioned when we made our reservation. Additionally, we ordered all of our starters and main courses at once, expecting to receive the starters first as we had specified to the waitress. Unfortunately, our dosa's arrived well before the rest of our food, leaving us waiting. When we mentioned this to the waitress, she explained that the kitchen was very busy and suggested we should have informed her when ordering, which we had already done. The loud volume of the television playing Coco Melon and the music made it difficult for the waitress to hear our concerns. To add to the disappointment, a large party with noisy children made it challenging for us to have a conversation without speaking loudly. Overall, our dining experience was not enjoyable and fell short of our expectations, despite the decent quality of the food (excluding the popadoms)."

"The restaurant is simple in decor, but the staff is extremely welcoming and helpful. I enjoyed the samosas and vegetable bhaji as my favorite appetizers, along with plain naan and chicken curry. The highlight was the affordable prices and the option to pay with a card, giving us great value for our money."

"This restaurant is beautiful and cozy, with a funny and friendly waiter and unique cuisine. I usually don't give 5-star ratings, but this place definitely deserves it. We came in hungry, but left pleasantly surprised by the overall experience. I will definitely be returning here as a regular customer."

"So where do I begin.... I thought I 'd try this establishment again after having a good ish experience, this time As a take away. Please understand I live 2 roads away from this restaurant and waited an hour and 5 minutes for my food! Whilst on the phone to an incompetent manager the food was received and was STONE cold! The excuse was given to me from the manager that yes it is only 25 minutes late what is the big problem which I brought to his attention that it was NOT 25 minutes late as I was told 30 minutes remember 1hour 5minutes! I requested a full refund in which I was called by a senior manager who was at home. This coward of a man is rude, unknowledgeable, incompetent and disgusting and is very lucky he has not met me in person! Especially after hanging up on me because he didn 't like it when I made a fool of his solutions as they were totally a joke. He started the conversation by calling me a liar, suggesting I TEXT him my bank details for a refund to which I declined for obvious reason, he then proceeded to shout and try to be sarcastic! Biggest mistake to make and didn 't like it when I put him in his place. Then demanded I never order from him again and that I was wasting my time as his restaurant was the absolute best I the area! HAHAHA funny mate. After an hour of arguing and him contradicting his own points I made sure he understood that receiving my refund immediately was the best solution as I would take this further. I will be seeing him"

"great eating, but the service might have been a bit better. they have made our order wrong and this could easily be avoided by returning the order to check if something was missing. the glasses were taken away very quickly without being completely emptied. beautiful deco inside and quite cozy."

"The food at this restaurant is undeniably exceptional, but unfortunately, the service does not meet the same standard. The table service was lacking in attentiveness, as the staff only addressed individual requests for extra drinks and not everyone at the table. Additionally, one of the main courses was overlooked, and when we brought it to their attention, they seemed to find it amusing rather than taking it seriously. It appears that they may have become too comfortable with their reputation."

"First thing is they never had us booked in..claimed we hadn't ordered until I showed him confirmation.. We waited a wee while and were seated . 15 minutes too get a drinks order and 25 too take order.. Starters were lovely. Then downhill from here.. They had massively overbooked and people were standing right at our table waiting to be seated.. front door constantly open and it was absolutely freezing sitting at table. After 1 hour after starters our food came out.. 3 out of 4 of us had to send food back as it was cold. They obviously just microwaved it and chicken was then hard and rice turning hard.. Ate what we could by this time I asked for bill and when I got it I said about quality was bad and service was terrible.. Paid a £160.18 bill thinking this was high.. Also when they served us our food it was just randomly put down ..they never once asked who ordered what.. When I saw them taking other people's food out as well they carried as much as they could and on 3 occasions I saw the curry bowls sitting on the naans. When I got back to hotel I noticed a 10 percent service charge .. I was so angry as service was terrible.. Putting an extra £14.57 onto the bill.. I really wish I read bill properly before leaving.. Never again ..I would give minus stars if I had option"

"I vividly remember this restaurant for many reasons. Me, my girl and some of our friends were back from our Iverness and Lochness trip and were roaming around in Edinburgh. The girls were quite hungry and demanded a south indian restaurant search the reason being that they were eating breads all days and were quite tired. They wanted something authentically Indian. We had a long argument with me on one side and the girls on the other. My idea was to explore other non indian options as we have been eating indian for years now. But I ended up giving in. We got in Mezbaan Everyone ordered for Dosas and I settled for some Lamb briyani. The food was really good. No complaints. In fact...read more"
"This should really be a 5 star review but due to staff not adhering to covid rules it has to be a 3. The quality of food saved it from being a 1. Staff started off with the masks on but shortly after opening they either had the masks on with their nose exposed, hanging from their chins leaving the mouth exposed as well or just hanging around their necks. I did remind them about this and one look shocked and another pulled it up then as he walked away pulled it straight back down. Now onto what this review should be about is the food which definitely did not disappoint. We had the £11.95 offer which is on Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesdays. This consists of any starter, any main, any side dish and either rice or naan bread. The food came out hot and tasted really nice. We left with most of our mains and rice as we were full after poppadoms and starters. The portion sizes were bug to say the least. Excellent value for money. The food was finished off with a complimentary drink. As said the face masks aside this would easily be 5 stars"
