WELCOME
Dining at Nilgiri
We have safely reopened our restaurant for dine-in services. The Scottish government's strategy for the Coronavirus pandemic mitigation is in place to make sure your time with us will be safe and enjoyable. Stay home if unwell, wear mask whenever not seated, use sanitisers, wash your hands, keep safe distance. Booking online will help us more organised to serve you better. Visit us for the best Indian dishes in Edinburgh. Most of our vegetarian dishes are Vegan friendly too.
We realize that when you are eating at a well known chain restaurant you may be supporting a local chef, waiters and possible owner and that is good. However, when you choose to eat at a small local restaurant such as Nilgiri Spice your support goes much deeper. At Nilgiri Spice, we buy local meat, we use local bakeries, fresh markets, fisherman, breweries, distilleries and many more. This statement goes for a lot of small businesses not just ours. If you want to truly support local, think about where they get their entire product from and stop in and pay us a visit. Please feel free to share our post with your family and friends and while you are at it let them know we have online takeaway or delivery via www.nilgirispice.co.uk we are open from Monday - Sunday. We would love to have your support, we've missed you!

"An Immediate Favourite
A recent find, although I had already heard a lot of good things about this warm, welcoming and well situated South Keralan restaurant in its previous guise as Mezbaan, in the Tolcross area of Edinburgh..."

"Delicious South Indian food. I’m from Chennai and loved this food."

"Authentic South Indian experience
Food was excellent with a wide range of options and a range of spice levels. There was something for all of us, including my 4 year old daughter who doesn’t handle spicy food, and me who love the heat. It was refreshing not to have standard base sauce in different dishes, but each of them freshly made. There is a selection of dishes which you don’t find usually in South Indian restaurants in Edinburgh. Staff are very friendly. If you want an authentic South Indian experience, this is the place."

"Trying something new
This restaurant specialises in South Indian food. I never realised how different this would be from the curry I buy in the Midlands.
There is lots of fish and vegetarian choices, in fact they account for half the menu.
The staff are very attentive and very helpful, as they should be.
I had a Chicken Nilgiri Chef’s Special.
The sauce has such a great flavour, which the menu states that it is prepared using 21 spices.
This is a new place and is well worth a visit.
