Solti is a Himalayan restaurant at 10 Drummond Street in Edinburgh. Established in 2020 by Gautam’s, it brings Indian and Nepalese culinary influences into a warm dining room built around the idea of generous, soulful hospitality.
The food draws on age-old recipes, regional spices and techniques associated with the Himalayas, while presenting them in a contemporary restaurant setting. Aromatic curries, grilled preparations and carefully seasoned vegetable dishes give the menu variety in richness and heat.
Lunch offers a concise way to experience the kitchen and includes complimentary chai, while the wider food menu supports shared starters followed by individual or communal main courses. Rice, breads and accompaniments help diners balance stronger sauces and smoky flavours.
A separate drinks menu completes the experience, and service continues from midday into the evening throughout the week. Solti is suited to a relaxed lunch, an exploratory dinner or a group meal where several regional dishes can be tasted together.
