Sehr leckeres Essen. Wir haben Butter chicken und Knoblauch Naan bestellt. Den Reis muss man extra bestellen. Das kannten wir so aus Deutschland nicht. Zum Glück hat der Kellner gefragt.

Royal Durbar truly delivers an authentic taste of India in the heart of Edinburgh. We loved starting with the street food options before diving into the main curries—the meat was tender, sauces rich and complex, and the freshly made naans were perfect. The staff made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. Exceptional quality and great value—we'll be back soon!
