Haldi is an intimate licensed Indian restaurant at 38 Mayfield Gardens in Newington, Edinburgh. Its modern dining room offers a more refined interpretation of Indian cooking, using seasonal ingredients from local markets while retaining the spices and techniques that define the cuisine.
The menu moves beyond standard curry house combinations through dishes such as dirty samosa chaat with sweet yoghurt and tamarind, colocasia leaf bhaji and tandoori broccoli with cream, cheese and black pepper. Presentation and balanced flavours give familiar ingredients a contemporary direction.
A five course tasting menu allows diners to experience a planned sequence from the kitchen, and a separate vegetarian version gives meat free cooking equal attention. The regular menu provides another way to explore the restaurant’s mix of Scottish produce and Indian culinary traditions.
Beer and wine are available alongside the food, and the compact setting suits quiet dinners and small celebrations. Guests with allergies or dietary requirements should speak with the team when booking because dairy, gluten, nuts and other allergens can appear across sauces, breads and tasting courses.
