  “After trying Indian food at several places in Edinburgh, this is by far the most authentic Indian restaurant we’ve found. The flavors were rich, fresh, and tasted just like home. We ordered the Bhindi Masala and Paneer Masala, and both dishes were absolutely amazing. The spices were perfectly balanced, the paneer was soft and fresh, and the bhindi was cooked just right. The masala itself was simply wow—full of authentic flavor without being overly heavy. If you’re craving genuine Indian food in Edinburgh, this place is definitely worth a visit. We’ll certainly be coming back! 🇮🇳🍛”

  “Absolutely wonderful Indian restaurant. We ordered 6 dishes and each was flavorful and delicious in its own right. If we lived in the area, this would be a regular spot for us.”

  “We dined here twice during our stay in Edinburgh this summer. Authentic Indian cuisine favourites available, such as butter chicken, biryanis, and various curries. Both times, we were in large party groups, and everyone was very satisfied. The service was very attentive, frequently checking if everything was okay with the food. I just wished there were more Indian dessert options like rasmalai. Overall, highly recommended. Unfortunately, I was unable to snap any pictures as the plates were cleared quickly.”

  “Had a wonderful dining experience at Chaskaa! We ordered the paneer butter masala and naan, and everything tasted absolutely amazing. The food had that authentic Indian flavour that’s hard to find sometimes, and the naan was perfectly soft, fresh, and delicious. The ambience was warm and welcoming, the staff were incredibly friendly and polite, and the service was impeccable throughout. Really enjoyed the whole experience and would definitely recommend this place!”

  “I spend my time travelling around the country and going to curry houses on an evening, I have to say this is one of the best most flavoursome meals I've had in a long time. The waiter recommended the Banjara Gosht since I like a curry on the spicy sides, Madras hot. This was excellent. Thank you, will be back when I'm in Edinburgh.”

  “This is proper, hearty Indian cooking — no gimmicks, no faff, just genuinely good food. Food: The lamb shank was properly "fall-off-the-bone" tender and humming with flavour. The lamb chops were beautifully seasoned, nicely balanced between salt and spice, and packed a real punch. The king prawn rogan josh was spot on — fresh, plump prawns in a rich sauce — though I wouldn’t have minded a few more prawns (happily pay a bit extra for that). Ambience: Comfortable seating and perfectly decent lighting. The back of the restaurant could perhaps do with a bit of a refresh, but honestly, with food like this, it hardly felt like a priority. Service: Professional and attentive, without ever feeling overbearing. All in all: A thoroughly enjoyable meal — the kind of place you come to for proper flavour and leave very satisfied.”

  “We visited Chaskaa Indian Restaurant during Valentine’s weekend and from the moment we arrived it felt special. We were seated at a lovely table decorated with balloons which was a really nice touch and set the tone for the evening. The menu looked fantastic and after much deliberation we went for the Lamb Haggis Pakora and Chicken 65 to start. Both were outstanding. The haggis… wow. Absolutely superb. And the Chicken 65 easily met the very high benchmark set by our daughter’s mother-in-law’s homemade version — no small compliment! For mains we chose the Karahi and Monkfish Tikka. I rarely say this, but the monkfish tikka was exceptional. Perfectly cooked, full of flavour and genuinely one of the best I’ve had. The karahi delivered exactly what you want from a classic — rich, comforting and beautifully spiced. Service was great throughout — attentive without being intrusive — and the atmosphere had that perfect Valentine’s weekend buzz. It’s definitely made our trip to Edinburgh even more memorable. We’ll be back 👍”

  “I love Chaskaa and was looking forward to returning with a friend for a birthday meal. The menu is unusual and varied, with traditional and different dishes you won't find anywhere else. We were warmly greeted on arrival and served a small glass of warming spiced tomato and coriander soup as an appetizer before ordering drinks and starters. It was unusual and delicious, which set the scene for another great night and meal. I opted for poppadoms and a pickle tray, while my friend chose onion bhajis with a spicy tomato dip and salad. I wish I’d chosen that – it looked delicious and was as tasty as it looked, according to my friend. I’ve had the lamb karahi with pilau rice and chilli garlic king prawn curries before, which I’ve enjoyed (although the latter dish was too hot for me). This time, I went for the chicken tikka shashlik, described as chicken tikka breast marinated in yogurt with specially selected spices, garlic and herbs, barbecued in a clay oven, served with bell pepper, onion, tomatoes, salad, curry sauce and rice. It’s not a dish I’d usually pick, but I was swayed by a friend's suggestion from looking at the menu and it was an absolute showstopper. Bursting with flavour, perfectly balanced and beautifully cooked, it ranks as one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Portions are generous, the food is fresh and beautifully presented and the service is flawless. Prices are reasonable for a city-centre restaurant, and it’s somewhere you could easily pop in alone to enjoy a meal in relaxed surroundings. Chaskaa is a real credit to Edinburgh’s restaurant scene and deserves support. Highly recommended.”
