Kebab Mahal

39658 original

Kebab Mahal has been around for thirty years, and looking at the interior it probably hasn’t changed all that much.

But that’s not the point. It has built up a solid clientele, and is especially popular with students from around the corner. The customers don’t keep coming back to marvel at the décor or be spoilt by the service. They come for the mammoth servings of good basic Indian food at 1980s prices.

Naans are the size of a small child, and the spices in the curries are expertly balanced. Highly recommended are the madras, fish bakora and saag guost. So ignore the elbow in your back from the next table, close your eyes and savour the authentic flavours of an old Edinburgh favourite.
