I've been here many times on business trips to Edinburgh. I always thought the food was great but when I brought my wife here she said it was 'absolutely gorgeous' and 'possibly the best Indian meal I've ever tasted'. I have to agree with her... for once!

Having frequented all of the top-rated curry houses in Edinburgh, I have to say that this one is my favourite. The food is consistently of the highest standard.

Very good service, prompt and efficient. Brought our own alcoholic drinks (no corkage) and a waiter came to the table to open the bottles of beer. Food was very good and tasty, warm, and served in side dishes, and warm plates brought in advance on the table. Good atmosphere, although maybe a bit noisy as the dining room is large... More

Congratulations Imans on achieving your 3rd Anniversary of serving what must surely be the best Punjab Cuisine in Edinburgh. As ever on my last visit service was very attentive and food authentic and plentiful. As others have mentioned the big screen turning out Bollywood can be distracting but doesn't diminish the quality of the meal.

I was at Imans restaurant in Edinburgh with friends and had a great meal and the service was brilliant only one negative aspect of the restaurant i did not agree with my friends was the flat screen tv being on was a little off putting.

Went with partner and his extended family for a casual evening meal. Seemed like a massive hassle having us in the restaurant from the very beginning. They sat us in the back of the room which was really dark and had a TV hanging over our table with a bad music channel flickering constantly. The food was actually pretty good... More

Quite often at a place were the portion sizes are large the quality and flavour are poor. Not here some of the best curry’s I have tasted. What you don’t finish you can take away!!!! The don’t serve... More

From the outside Imans isn't enticing, with its drab exterior. Within, a warm welcome awaits along with a huge menu that will cater for all. Prepare for a feast when visiting as the portions are sizeable. The starters are varied, including many staple Indian offerings you see elsewhere plus some of their own punjab options. The mixed starter for one... More
