CATEGORY · RAINY DAY APPROVED

Indian & South Asian in Edinburgh

Edinburgh's Indian food scene is small on this list but well placed. Tuk Tuk in Tollcross does small plates of Indian street food daily from midday to 10pm, with high chairs and a kids' menu if you've got younger ones in tow. Dishoom sits right in St Andrew Square, in the middle of things, doing Bombay-style café food from breakfast through to late dinner, and it's wheelchair accessible too. Both are indoors, so rain isn't a worry, and both have high chairs and kids' menus sorted for families. Dishoom's longer opening hours make it the one to try if you want breakfast or a late dinner rather than just lunch, and it's known for queues, though there's chai going spare while you wait. Tuk Tuk suits a quicker plates-based meal if you're already in Tollcross. Neither is licensed as adults-only, so both are straightforward choices with children.
