It's been a long time since I have been out and about in Edinburgh city centre. I have, or will soon have, family over from Canada, we are staying at the Apex international in the grassmarket. Where is the best Indian restaurant near to this, preferably walking distance. I would prefer somewhere that has a good ambiance and, obviously, good food. Price is not an object, though I don't want to pay over the odds. The last Indian I was in there was lancers down stockbridge, it was very nice, but as I said, I would rather somewhere nearer where we are staying.
Cheers
EH

A classic Indian dish that isn't always easy to find.

Beer was warm.
Food was tasteless, only blessing was the small portion size!
Staff didn't give a damn and when we complained bordered on the rude.
Unusual for the *everyone* to have an off day so its now off our list completely.
The Guru is back to its best, after a short time of being average, but probably just outside walking range for a group, 20 minutes? Just along from the Fountain Park leisure complex, opposite Victor Paris.Space to let

Just really, really big portions
Some good shouts so far.
I've always enjoyed the service and the food in Kalpna and with it being meat-free you don't usually feel overstuffed.
I've been away from Edinburgh for years and while I'm back for social occasions fairly frequently, I've lost touch with a lot of places.
Suruchi was a fantastic Indian when I lived in town. Anyone comment on whether it's still decent?There's only one thing better than a Hibs calendar and that's two Hibs calendars

Might give it another chance - on your head be itLife should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"

Tried Kama Sutra recently on Lothian Road pleasantly surprised especially with 20% discount after I registered for their club card some time ago.

Khushis is alright and is handy for a munch on the way back from the Holy Ground.

If you want to try something a bit different from the usual Indian restaurant I would thoroughly recommend Mithas in Leith the food is top quality and a little more expensive but well worth the journey down from the Grassmarket.
Same owners as Khushis (which is also superb) but a very different menu.

There was a period when there were a lot of staff changes however at least one or two, of the important folk, are back and there's been a definite change for the better.

We went to a wee Indian/Nepalese place called Gurkha Cafe in Cockburn Street during the festival and the food was excellent.

The sauce had Habeneros, Scotch Bonnets, Naga Viper and Carolina Reaper (about 300 times hotter than a Jalapeno) chillis in it as well as a couple of drops of pure capsicum extract.
The initial taste wasn't too bas as my mouth totally numbed but it then got very, very unpleasant. I managed 4 of the 6 before I had to give up. The next 5 or 6 hours was some of the worst pain I have ever endured. I went through about 15 milkshakes, numerous bottles of iced water, cokes with ice and held ice cubes on my tongue and just couldn't cool it.
I love spicy food but that was one of the stupidest things I have ever done, my stomach was agony for days after.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

Thanks for all your replies. We eventually went to mother India, it was really good, even our Canadian cousins, who are not big on Indian food, loved it as well.

If you've ever had the misfortune to live next to one of there establishments you'll avoid curry the rest of your days! Beware buying a flat near shops. What was a boring bathroom supplies store can quickly be turned into a stinking noisy vermin-infested dive.
