"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."

"We haven’t been to the Mint room in quite awhile and as it’s changing management we decided to give it a go . As all our other visits to this restaurant we were not disappointed. The service was excellent and the food was also excellent. My wife has some very difficult allergies and this restaurant caters for her in a first class way . If the new restaurant continues to provide the same quality and service and we were told by the new manager that they want to improve on their menu choices) it’s bound to succeed. I’m looking forward to seeing what the new restaurant will be like."
