Kahani Indian Street Food is an Indian restaurant at 10 Antigua Street in Edinburgh. Located close to the New Town and St James Quarter, it serves both Indian street food and traditional restaurant dishes in a relaxed dining room open for lunch and dinner.
Pakoras and samosas bring familiar street food textures to the start of the menu. These smaller plates work well for sharing, while fresh ingredients, aromatic spices and a choice of chutneys create a useful introduction before the larger curries and rice dishes arrive.
Biryani and chicken tikka masala sit among a wider choice of classic Indian dishes. Vegetarian and vegan options are built into the selection, and lunch, thali and pre-theatre menus give diners different ways to structure a complete meal depending on the time and occasion.
Guests can book a table, order a takeaway or arrange delivery. Party menus, children’s choices and catering extend the restaurant beyond everyday dining, making it useful for family meals, groups and events as well as a convenient meal near the city centre.
Address: 10 Antigua Street, Edinburgh EH1 3NH, Scotland
