Kebab Mahal

Got food from here last Saturday night
On deliveroo as they were doing 50% off
Got a chicken korma which didn't even taste like korma sauce was bland and watery
Chicken was dry
Chicken curry was much the same, the sauce was quite fishy to taste and smell
The chicken pakoras had bone in them which they never stated more like spicy wings than pakoras to be honest
And lastly the peshwari nann was really dry and flavourless, this is normally a good place to go for a kebab and has never really let me down in the past but it was awful on that occasion

The nicest Indian food in all of Scotland. Not fancy interior. Comfortable. Nice waitstaff. Good, fair prices and large delicious portions.

One of the worst places to get food from. No taste just extra colour to make food look good. Owner's son has no manners to talk to the customers thinks very high of him self as a chef but have no basic knowledge about Asian food attanticity.
Tried it couple of times and on each occasion ended up with upset stomach.
Highly recommend think twice before going to this place.

Always loves the food of Kebab mahal. Know this place for a very long time. Hard to find the parking but pay and display is available nearby . Proper Pakistani dishes and lovely, friendly staff.

Very basic place but the curries are very good, reasonable, service is quick. I go there each time I am in Edinburgh
Great naan bread

Good simple food, tasty and savoury. Loved the naan!
Prices are not necessarily the cheapest, but are comparable.
You cannot reserve a table (even though we telephoned ahead and tried) and so had to wait about 15 minutes for a table to become available (but suspect this may only the case currently as the Edinburgh Fringe festival is currently in full swing).
The place is simple and honestly furnished and decorated; but the food definitely surpassed my expectations.

The Döner Kebab was pretty good. The bread was far too small for the filling though. Could've been packed better too... Overall: 4 stars. Recommended.

Visited yesterday around 10pm & it was worth & an unforgettable memory for 3 of us.Its a small shop but the Food is delicious.We orderee Nan,Madras Chicken Curry & Mixed Kebab & all those were top notch.There are only 6 tables as i have mentioned the shop is small but the food is amazing.Also, as it was friends bday.We asked them if we could cut the cake & they did not hesitate for once & told us its fine,they even recorded the video eventhough there was huge rush & takeaways orders getting lined up.Worth to have lunch,Affordable too..❤️

Don't be fooled by the interior, this is not just one of the best curry houses in Edinburgh but quite possibly in Britain. I had the Lamb Rogan Josh which had been slow cooked with tender pieces of lamb and lovely fresh fragrant flavours. I can't recommend this place highly enough.

Vegetarian side dish portions were too small for £4.50. Also, there were only the owner and one extra waiter serving customers. This was insufficient for the (busy) lunch time and service took a bit too long. They should hire extra staff. Decent place otherwise.

The food here was great, but the ambiance makes it a food best enjoyed as takeaway. The line and overall busy-ness of the cafe is a testament to the quality, but it is jam packed and there isn't really anywhere to stand without being in the way while waiting for a seat or your food.
There are lots of food choices, and everything we ordered tasted wonderful. I even took the rest of the naan in a napkin in my pocket to have as a snack for later, i liked it so much. Definitely try the yogurt and chili sauces they bring out-they really add to the meal.

The food tasted great. BUT, after a couple hours my stomach began to get quite upset. Without going into detail I had way too many trips to the bathroom after eating there...

Delicious! The Chicken Tikka Masala is the best I've ever had. The Chicken Biryani is also excellent and a very large serving. Has efficient table service. Overall a very good value.

Ghee in all of the vegetarian dishes making them not vegan friendly.

Owners or operators not willing to make without ghee. Vegetable oil costs less and is likely better for you, so why not make the exception for vegans?

The menu further states that they will make you any curry if you ask, even if it isn't on the menu. Apparently they can't make one without ghee. No money from me.

The food and service at this restaurant was awesome. Both dishes that we ordered were just excellent. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely go back again if we are in the area. Great value for the money.

We've been staying at the house of an Indian chef and got this place recommended as great place to have some proper Pakistani and Indian cuisine in town. And boy, it was delicious.

Don't expect haute cuisine dining or even proper seating, this is a small joint where the curries steal all the fame. We had Chicken Karahi, Naan, Keema Rice and tried some more stuff from a friendly Scottish guest who was a regular here.

The only thing I personally didn't like was the mixed appetizer plate which was precooked and not crunchy anymore. It didn't pass the excellence test in my book

They absolutely ruined our dinner. No attention to any detail and if you order in you are on your own. They expect you to make your own kebab and give you far less. I am a loyal customer turned against after an embarrassingly bad visit with people visiting the city. Never again. Screw this place.

Very good takeaway kebabs (Afghani or Pakistani style) with a few seats in the restaurant. The proprietors are very friendly making this a great place for a simple, cheap meal.

So CHEAP and so GOOD!!!! I love this place! It is not the coziest restaurant in the world, but man, the food is awesome! The kebab reminded me my days in Istanbul. Perfect combination of meat, veggetables and spices. I cannot wait to come back!

Oh my goodness this place is great! The staff are wonderful, the price is even better and the food is superb. A definite favourite go to, would eat here anytime type place.

We usually get takeout, but there is a place to sit and eat which is useful if your buttling around that part of town.

Me and 2 friends were looking for dinner options in Edinburgh and found this place on yelp. We wanted something good and something affordable. This place was both! It was first time having Indian food ever and this place set the bar really high. We visited Edinburgh for 9 days and ate here 3 times.

Nothing more to add than the others have said, it's great. Surprisingly extensive menu, unbeatable prices, convenient.

I loved the food here. As they say dont judge the book by the cover, dont judge this place by the looks and the board which boasts pizza and doner kebab on it. The food is good authentic indian and tandoori food cooked brilliantly and is cheap.

The service is friendly and of course extra friendly for me as I could speak the language :-) The saag panner was excellent as was the bhindi masala. The samosa was spicy and the rotis were huge.

Tried the special tea and raas malai for dessert and it was excellent. In fact the dessert was the favourite part of my meal. All up with three courses it was

Erm.... This place is amazing.

I've heard about the Kebab Mahal on the Edinburgh grapevine for years. But for some reason I never felt the need to go there. But now I always feel the need to go there. Because the food is fantastic. And oh, so cheap.

This is not a posh restaurant. Oh no. It's formica tables and stools and weird items stuffed up the back of the room. There's even two parts to the place, separated by a proper wall and accessible only by going outside and entering another main door. This is what I like to call personality.

Me and my other half had an incredible

Do not judge a book by its cover. And certainly do NOT judge Kebab Mahal by its appearance!

It will reward you with one delightful indian food experience. From the chicken tikka karahi to lamb tikka bhuna, every plate is delicious and generous on the size. Accompanied with a couple of nans and you have an unforgettable ethnic feast! Our meal ended with a baklava and a kataifi which was equally delicious and we hardly reached a £24 bill.

Best Indian in Edinburgh for sure, and if you know the cardinality of the set "Indian restaurants in Edinburgh", that says a lot.

Cheap curries. The chicken and mushroom was nice. Big chunks of white meat chicken. Sis liked the chicken tikka masala. I thought it was too rich and creamy, but I like mine more "tomatey" and sis doesn't. The aubergine was drenched in oil. Tasty, but super greasy. The naan was huuuuge. It was 4 times the size of the naan that I had at London restaurant. We did experience the MSG thirst a couple of hours after dinner though.

The doner kebab is horrifying. Yes, it's HUGE, but the "meat" is dry and awful and the whole thing was drenched in a neon red sauce

This is an addiction. If I am put into rehab for this addiction I will escape, and find my way back to the palace of Indian food in Edinburgh known as Kebab Mahal.

The Taj Mahal has nothing on Kebab Mahal. In fact, seeking asylum in this Mahal will do you much better than the other Mahal. The inscription at the Taj Mahal was obviously mistakenly put there when it was meant to be here, at Kebab Mahal:

"Should guilty seek asylum here,
Like one pardoned, he becomes free from sin.
Should a sinner make his way to this mansion,
All his past sins are to be washed away.
The sight of this mansion

Excellent curry in a family run establishment with a total of six tables.

The service is quick and the food is great. We had chicken tikka masala (excellent) and lamb bhuna (very good).

Thank you, Yelpsters, for a great tip.

Damn, I thought this place was a secret.

This place is what Yelp was made for. If you did not know - you would probably would not bother.

This place is no secret to folks who love decent curries. Lots of regulars from the local Indian community to be found here and always some student newbies, occasionally with American accents.

Mister Khan is really nice fellow and his friends in the back make tremendous curries. You could just wander in here and get a kebab or some pakora. However, the folks who know will sit in the back, get yourself a lovely beverage (no alcohol served - like all of the
