I think I’ve raved about Kismot before but, if so, I am going to do so again. It is a family run Indian restaurant in St Leonards Place in Edinburgh, described by some as the new “old” Khushis.
New, old, whatever. It boasts the finest food and the best service in an Indian restaurant in Edinburgh.
When I say good service, I mean spectacular. This family is brilliant. Dad is the chef. Mum bakes the exquisite nans. The son is head waiter and has a truly authentic Edinburgh/Indian accent, and the daughters are the waitresses.
The food is abundant, authentic, delicious and stunning value.
To top it off it’s a BYOB joint.
I promise you, you will not find a better Indian restaurant in Edinburgh.
And, if you don’t believe me read this…
Night Out With Friends
The Kismot in St Leonards St, Edinburgh is a treasure of true ethnic Asian eating, whether eating in or taking a meal home. Spotlessly clean, this family run restuarant is the best we have sampled in the whole of the UK. Mum & Dad do the cooking, the rest of the family give the friendliest, most welcoming ambiance you could wish for. Yes often in Kilts!!!! We had arrived back in Edinburgh 18months ago from India and having nothing in the house went out for dinner-it was the night of the opening of The Kismot. So spotting a new place we gave it a try – no regrets whatsoever – the food was just as we had been having 2 days previously IN INDIA!!! We have been back to the Kismot many times and often with friends, others we have told about how good it is have all thanked us for the info. No drinks licence, so if you eat in – Take your own bottle(s) with you. The Menu is Typical of Indian/Bangladeshi Restuarants, however, the standard of the cooking, ingredients, presentation and taste are way way above anything we have experienced anywhere else in the UK.
Or this…

| An absolutely wonderful restaurant! The food is delicious, probably the best Indian food I have ever tasted. The atmosphere is perfect for any occassion and for large or small groups. The price is very reasonable. But, the best thing about this restaurant is the family who run it – they are very friendly, lovely people and can not do more to please you! | |

If it’s a BYOB place did they have room in the restaurant for it. The house has been now been aired from the fumes of alchohol.
