    Amazing authentic South Indian

    I have struggled to find good South Indian food since moving to Scotland, but this place does it well. The coconut sambar is great, shame there isn’t more of it!

    Great, authentic South Indian food

    I visited Tanjore with a couple friends during our trip to Edinburgh. Extremely authentic food, that is delicious and well priced! It is a local favourite and can get some serious lines which is an indicator of how good it is. Highly recommend.

    university buildings in Southside, the sort of
    neighbourhood that supports a long string of
    second-hand shops and eateries serving ethnic food for
    just a few pounds. In August the student population is
