A favourite among students and locals alike, the Mosque has lamb and chicken curries available from 12 till 7 everyday as well as vegetarian alternatives. And try the barbecued chicken wings if they are on offer. Since this is a Mosque, no alcohol is permitted. but an exotic selection of soft drinks are up for grabs.

At the  year-long outdoor venue there are no indoor tables and only a plastic roof shelters guests sitting along trestle tables, but don’t let that stop you. Grab your paper-bowl and plastic spoon, take a seat next to a stranger, and get into the feel-good spirit of the place. The fainter-hearted may be perturbed by the ever-present pigeons – an annoyance the Mosque has never quite managed to banish.

The Mosque Kitchen also comes indoors at the Pleasance Dome during the festival, giving you the opportunity to enjoy a curry with a drink from the venue's bar.
