Eastern Pavilion - Edinburgh, City of

Very average take-away food. Naan bread was poor, soft fluffy and without flavour. Both curries were lacking in flavour. Could have done better myself. Waste of £35.

To be honest I can’t comment on the food apart from the poppadoms which were lovely. However, we waited over an hour on starters and it wasn’t even busy so walked out! Service was shocking.Avoid Avoid Avoid unless you want to spend hours on your meal!! Really disappointed

OH MY GOSH! So good. We heard of this place before we travelled to Edinburgh so decided to give it a go as it was only a 5 min walk from hotel! Walked in and gave them my booking and sat us straight down came and gave us drinks then the food started coming out… As there was just 2 of us we decided to split the starter so I had chicken pakora and he said samosas and we split BEST iv ever tasted. Mains he had chicken bhuna and pilau rice and I had butter chicken and mushroom rice. Garlic and keema nans. Out of this world will 100% be returning.

We had a lovely meal to celebrate my son's 40th birthday. We were 9 adults, 3 boys under 6 and 2 one year old babies. The owner very kindly opened the restaurant for us early on the Sunday so we could sit down for our meal at 2 o'clock. Nothing was too much trouble. We had a nice big table for us all to sit together and in fact had the restaurant exclusively to ourselves for the whole time. The owner offered us the full menu and provided suitable food for the kids. We had lovely starters and a mixture of different curries. All delicious and plentiful. Poppadoms, chutneys, sauces. The owner graciously served us all the meals and drinks himself even constant requests from the kids for more drinks! He was so patient and kind. The restaurant is really nice inside with beautifully laid tables and crystal wine glasses. Lovely atmosphere. Prices are very reasonable and huge choice. Thoroughly recommend Eastern Pavilion. Many thanks again to the owner [I am so sorry did not get his name] but he went above and beyond for our special occasion.

We visited Eastern Pavilion, as a family group of 6, on a spur of the moment evening meal choice. We were greeted by Habib, with a friendly, and jovial approach, which quickly developed into a much appreciated humorous exchange of banter ,with all involved enjoying the relaxed atmosphere. Our drink orders were taken ,and quickly served ,as was the meal orders. The group are seasoned, frequent conoseres of Indian cuisine, so we're pleasantly surprised, and in full agreement, that the food served and demolished, was of a very high standard. Not to mention , too a reasonable price for the vast quantities we obtained. As mentioned previously, we were served and allowed to consume in a relaxed manner ,with Habib being attentive and charming to our requests. At the finale of the meal ,Habib interacted in conversation to general informative questions on the area( Edinburgh), and assisted in our discussion on places to visit . He also gave us insight into his young sons achievements as up and coming rugby stars, showing pictures ,and portraying true fatherly proud traits. What a true gentleman. Even the chef appeared with a beaming smile to bid us farewell as we exited the restaurant. We would highly recommend the restaurant, for not only the excellent food ,but for the warm welcome by all the staff. When in Edinburgh please pay this restaurant a visit ,you will not be disappointed ,and we will on our Next time in the beautiful capital city of Scotland.
