Navadhanya - Edinburgh, City of

Although we were initially turned away for not having a reservation, the manager quickly found us a seat at the restaurant. The atmosphere was impressive and inviting, with a tantalizing menu to choose from. While it has been some time since our visit and I cannot recall the exact dishes we ordered, the "Railway Curry" stood out as particularly excellent. Overall, the food was top-notch and both my partner and I, who are both fans of Indian cuisine, thoroughly enjoyed our meal. In fact, I was so impressed that I immediately called my brothers in Edinburgh to recommend the restaurant to them. This dining experience was of the highest quality.

After being recommended by close friends, we were excited to try this restaurant during our stay in Edinburgh. However, our experience was extremely disappointing. We spent over 3 hours waiting for our meal due to serious service issues. The tasting menu was not enjoyable and the overall service was terrible. We decided to leave before finishing our meal because we were so dissatisfied. We asked for the bill after wasting so much time, and even noticed that the staff seemed eager to leave, with the manager changing into casual clothing while we were still eating. We highly recommend avoiding this restaurant at all costs.

My wife and I were extremely disappointed with our recent visit to this restaurant, especially considering we had dined there at least three or four times before. We had even recommended this place to our friends from Australia and New Zealand. Unfortunately, our experience this time was not up to par. We arrived at 6:30pm and waited for over an hour before receiving our first course. To make matters worse, the dish had to be sent back because it was not what we had ordered. Although the food was decent once we finally got to eat it, we ended up spending nearly three hours at the restaurant for just two courses. It was clear that they were understaffed that evening, which was not a good look for them.

We turned up on time for our booking at 830 but we’re told all food had to be ordered by 930 and we couldn’t have the tasting menu. It all seemed a bit odd but we’re the told the menu we wanted was possible The tasting menu was excellent but we were presented with the bill before we had finished our dessert. We we then told it was home time before we had finished our drinks at 11 I’m not sure what’s happening here. The food is excellent but the staff need to get home early and then complain it’s not as busy as normal. To be at the top of your game food and service need to complement each other

Nice meal here a few years ago, then disappointment during lockdown. Tonights meal was spoiled by shabby, slow and faulty service. The food was actually good. The decor and feel was of a tired and faded place. Toilets need to be upgraded. Shame.
