"We had a superb meal in the Bombay Bicycle Club. It was quieter than I’ve known it to be because of Covid but the staff attention to detail was excellent and the food was just delicious. We shared starters of fish pakora and mixed pakora that covered a beautiful range of flavours and textures. The pakora were prepared in a light batter that allowed the flavours of the fish, chicken and vegetables to come thru... the haggis pakora easily fended for itself on flavour. We had mains of lamb madras curry and tandoori prawns on a bed of sizzling onions. The prawns were among best we have ever tasted and the lamb madras (I asked for slightly less hot) was wonderfully spicy, succulent and still had that familiar warmth. Drinks wise, Edinburgh tap water tastes good anyway, but the restaurant serve it chilled which was great and we had a glass of house red, perfectly delicious and was a good medium to full bodied and a glass of refreshing white with the prawns. Last word for the ambiance and the staff. The feel of the restaurant was familiar and relaxed, it’s lovely and airy and the big glass front brings lots of light and a chance to people watch. The staff are superbly courteous and friendly and as mentioned their attention to service is impressive. We will return soon, I recommend you give it a try too."
