Suruchi
A laid-back Indian eatery with handmade turquoise tiles, lazy ceiling fans and chilled-out jazz guitar, Suruchi offers a range of exotic dishes as well as the traditional tandoori standards, many with a Scottish twist. An amusing touch is provided by menu descriptions translated into broad Scots (‘a beezer o’ a curry this…gey nippie oan the tongue’).

Omar Khayyam
This is a modern Punjabi restaurant with attentive, waistcoated waiters, stylish modern decor and an unusual water feature trickling away in the middle of the dining room. The food is always fresh and flavourful, ranging from old favourites such as chicken tikka masala to more unusual dishes like Kabul chicken (with chick peas, cumin and coriander).

Roti
This is no ordinary Indian restaurant but an intimate, minimalist space with low lighting, colourful drapes and the hot pink of fresh fuchsia flowers. The menu is intriguing, offering dishes that lie well off the beaten curry trail, such as lamb and mint broth with herb dumplings and Goan fish curry (sour, salt and sweet all at the same time).

Raj
Run by celebrity chef Tommy Miah (author of True Taste of Asia ), the Raj is an atmospheric curry house overlooking the Water of Leith and serving Indian (including Goan) and Bangladeshi cuisine. Specialities include the tongue-tingling green Bengal chicken (marinated with lime juice, mint and chilli) and spicy Goan lamb garam fry.

Mosque Kitchen
Sophisticated it ain’t – expect shared tables and disposable plates – but this is the place to go for cheap, authentic and delicious homemade curries, kebabs, pakora and naan bread washed down with lassi or mango juice. Caters to Edinburgh’s Central Mosque, but welcomes all – local students have taken to it big time. No alcohol.

Kalpna
A long-standing Edinburgh favourite, Kalpna is one of the best Indian restaurants in the country, vegetarian or otherwise. The cuisine is mostly Gujarati, with a smattering of dishes from other parts of India. The lunch buffet (£7) is superb value.
