Established in 1983 our family restaurant has been operating for over 38 YEARS now and our head chef and his team only use fresh and quality ingredients and head chef grinds his own spices to give each dish a unique taste. Come along and enjoy real Indian Punjabi food and see why Indian Lounge is very popular with locals, tourists and is highly recommended by food critics.
We only use Scottish grass-fed lamb, free range poultry, fresh vegetables and ship to plate seafood in 48 hours or less, all of our ingredients are 100% natural. Plus we only cook with OLIVE OIL. Most of our menu is GLUTEN FREE and we have a good selection of vegan options also. Fusion between authentic and modern cuisine. We are well known in the city of Edinburgh.
Only a few minutes walk from Princes Street. Award Winning Restaurant.

    Enjoyed our food but waiters were too fast, too loud and didn’t really want to listen to our meal requests. We ordered two Thali plates and were told it takes too long and had to settle for other dishes. We asked for individual portions of some items but they arrived as sharing plates so not everyone had what they really wanted. Sad to say we wouldn’t choose to go again m.

    This basement restaurant is obviously a family affair. Great range of typical Indian dishes available which were served promptly in a good humoured fashion. Good Sunday evening crowd which created a great buzz.

    I made a booking for 7pm on January 21. I received an email confirmation. On arrival, there was a handwritten note stuck on the front door advising that they were closed until the following day. I understand if this was caused by some unexpected problem, but I could have been contacted to let me know. I was then faced with finding somewhere else to eat at short notice and with little/no knowledge of the area.

    hi john sorry for not informing you the restaurant would be closed on Tuesday, the reason being for this was because we had just found out the day before my eldest uncle had passed away so as you can imagine we had far more important things to cover, but i do sincerely apologize that we did not inform you

    Everything was fantastic! I had the whole restaurant to myself and they could not have been any more welcoming or helpful when recommending food.

    The food was great, and the waiter was very helpful. He offered us complementary items to our meal which were very good and which we appreciated. We think this is what some people may have interpreted to be an over-charge. However, for us, it was clear that those were additions to our meal, which was fantastic. It was the best Indian food I have ever had.

    The food was simply awesome and tremendous. If you are looking for authentic Indian food with extremely large portion but in good quality, this is the place you must go. The restaurant is a family-owned business, and the owner treats everyone as if one of his friend. Can’t wait to visit the restaurant again!
