 In the Cellar |
01/03/07 York Place Edinburgh EH1 3EB United Kingdom +44 (0)131 557 9899 http://www.9cellars.co.uk/ |
Chef Thakur of the 9 Cellars Restaurant & Bar proudly displays his achievements on one of its walls. With it's minimalist decor, the only promise 9 Cellars makes is to offer wonderful vegetarian and non-vegetarian Indian dishes. Balti dishes are served cold and it will take you all your strength to break the naan bread. However, the snacks and pre-theatre set meals are definitely worth trying—special mention to the mouth-watering samosas and chutneys. Take a call. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Bengali mix |
6 Brougham Place Edinburgh EH3 9HW United Kingdom +44 131 229 3839 |
It's unclear what exactly is so special about bicycles from Bombay - the colorful specimens that adorn the walls add a quirky element to this busy and elegant venue. Expect traditional Bengali cuisine spiced up with some more innovative recipes - the seafood dishes are especially good and the banquets are a great option if you can't make up your mind which dish to choose. They have plenty of vegetarian options. They also provide a handy takeaway service. This is a popular place so its safer to book in advance - it's often used for special events.

Spice slice! |

Anybody interested in tingling up their taste buds with spice, spice, and more spice, Britannia does it for you in styles that remain unparalled this side of Edinburgh! Fusion cuisine from India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Thailand, and Sri Lanka is rustled up in an informal atmosphere. The interiors are bohemian and look very much like the insides of a ship. Once you have docked and settled in, order the Tandoori Lamb Chops or the Macher Bhorta, which start the curry spice engine roaring! Then move on to the traditional Sri Lankan fare with Chicken Ceylon or the Dhaba Murgh, which is roasted in a charcoal oven to get the crispy crunchy texture! Vegetarians may revel in the several delicious Paneer (cottage cheese) dishes, Saag Paneer Malai being one of them. Keep the spice-o-meter going, or switch to the Asian sweets to tone down the zing!
