I love Indian food and after spotting the good reviews here, we made it a point to find this little restaurant. (It was easy walking distance from the Mercure Point Hotel.) Don't be put off by the non-descript area for the restaurant or the small size of the restaurant. It offers perhaps the best Indian food you will ever have.... more

I'm so glad we were able to dine at Mezbaan during our brief stay in Edinburgh. The Mango King Prawn Puree appetizer was so delicious - wish we had ordered more than one! The Lamb Roganjosh and Lamb Cafriel with Naan and Saffron Rice were also very good. I also enjoyed the Mango Lassies. The service was most helpful and... more

What a great spot! As soon as you walk through the door the aromas promise good food and once delivered, promise fulfilled. The service was excellent, the staff all smiles. Food freshly prepared, beautifully served and oh-so-tasty. Great value and with the off license next door, bringing your own is no problem. Reasonable corkage fee as well as good value... more

After encountering South Indian cooking in India a few years ago, I was so pleased to find Mezbaan not long after and to satisfy my craving for Dhosas and other South Indian specialities. Mezbaan is our favourite Edinburgh Indian, both for the quality of the food and for the delightful, friendly service. We are missing the Thalis, Dhosa and Idli... more

To the passer by, understated, intriguing appearance, bring your own bottle, usually a good sign. Shop next door sells a fantastic variety of reasonably priced beers and wines, which you would struggle to find in most supermarkets. The staff are obliging and very friendly, clearly committed to the success of this restaurant. The food is like you have never tasted,... more

I might just be lucky. Perhpas the chef here just happens to cook chick peas for exactly the right amount of time for my personal preference. Having said that luck will only get you so far. My bikaneri channa masala tasted amazing which had to do with more than just the peas themselves. My fellow companions were also particularly impressed... more

After living in India and The Middle East we'd developed a liking for South Indian (vegetarian) food and, on a day trip to Edinburgh where we were looking for somewhere interesting for lunch, Mezbaan seemed to fit the bill. Encouraged by the glowing reports on Travel Advisor, we booked a table for 12:30. It didn't turn out too well. Lunch... more

Dear Customer, We are always keen to hear your experiences, and would like to say that we do read feedback. We are sorry that you had to wait for some time before being served. 1. The restaurant on the said date was open promptly at 12pm, the open sign had blown over by the wind from "open" to "close" we...

Ok firstly before anyone reads on to the other reviews I think its important to point out to all before going here that this restaurant does not have a license to serve alcohol. (An important fact that would have been good for us to have known in advance of going to celebrate Valentines!) Something I also thought they may have... more

Mezbaan, Manager

Dear Customer, It is very disappointing to hear that you did not enjoy the food. Our restaurant is a BYOB and has been for considerable few months and we do not routinely tell our customers unless specifically asked for. If you feel that you have been deliberately misled we are sorry as that is not our intention. Our website has...
