A review of Cutting Chaii, an Indian restaurant in Leith

January 10, 2022 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A wonderfully cosy Indian tapas restaurant tucked away on a bleak edge of Edinburgh. Great food, friendly staff and perfect for couples.

A review of Sabzi, an Indian restaurant on Ferry Road

November 12, 2021 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Stunning food simply presented without fanfare or arrogance but good enough to deserve both. Sabzi is going to win things and be recommended for years to come, I suspect.

A review of Rishi’s Indian Aroma, an Indian restaurant on Lindsay Road

An absolute gem of a discovery. Delicious Indian food in a clean, quick and friendly restaurant.

A review of In Touch, the Indian restaurant on Inverleith Gardens

October 10, 2021 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Good Indian food, with lots of main courses, matching side dishes but no dessert options beyond coffee at all. In Touch does well with delivery but has a clean restaurant area generally staffed by one waiter.

A review of Mint Indian, Just Eat

January 31, 2016 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I think it’s hard to find a good Indian restaurant. I think it’s much harder to find a good Indian delivery restaurant. That’s why I’m pleased I found the Mint Indian on Just Eat. I’ve passed by but never been inside the Mint Indian and yet I must have had several dozen dinners from them […]

Review of Britannia Spice, Leith

February 3, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This review is quite a challenge. While I really do enjoy the food at the Britannia Spice I’m rarely in a rush to go back. So why is that? The food really is good. We’re talking a range of Indian dishes that feel authentic, are well made and presented. My strong suspicion is that the […]

Sponsored Video: Just Eat round up of Leith

December 16, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I use Just Eat a lot. I get home from late, the kitchen is empty, I don’t have a car and it’s raining outside. The ability to pick a nearby takeaway over a huge range of styles and order something for my partner and I is high. It may even be more cost effective for me than buying a big pack of something from the supermarket that then goes off before I can finish it.

A charming pink and green cafe with a clear plant-based foodie focus. @heyplantbae is one of the surprisingly common jewels on Easter Road and is absolutely worth visiting. https://buff.ly/4a7qnfB
If you don't fancy the crowd intensity of the #christmasmarket or the prices then @iceangels_edin is maybe 10 minutes walk away, about a third cheaper for a third more (well, based on my thorough crêpe testing) and they have a #santa mailbox. There's even Christmas Trees for sale up the road. An alternative evening out.
Somewhere new for #sugarsunday as Girdy visits @marias_kitchen21 for a delicious Italian limoncello bread and butter pudding.
The #christmasmarket at @edinburghpalette is on the third floor and open until 4pm.
A trip to @thenightmarketuk #edinburgh #christmas gig. Time spent with @mattblackjewellery , @kamaveganbakes , @chunkycatsushi and @mad_potters_tea_party , et al.
Girdy wraps St Andrew's Day week with modern Scottish - sipping whisky and chowing down on @one.canon's "chicken pot noodle" pizza!
