In Touch Restaurant is an Indian restaurant at 8 Inverleith Gardens in Edinburgh. Its evening service offers diners in Inverleith and nearby neighbourhoods a broad menu for eating in, collection or delivery.
Starters range from pakora to tandoori and kebab specialities, with seafood providing additional variety. Cooking from the tandoor brings char and spice to meat and other ingredients before the menu moves into curries and biryani.
Classic curry styles sit alongside house recommendations built around chicken, lamb and seafood. Vegetarian specialities, rice and breads make it possible to assemble a balanced shared meal and adjust the emphasis between richer sauces, grilled dishes and vegetables.
The restaurant’s long evening hours make it practical for both an early dinner and a later order. Guests with allergies, intolerances or dietary requirements should confirm the current ingredients, sauces and kitchen procedures directly with staff before ordering.
Address: 8 Inverleith Gardens, Edinburgh EH3 5PU, Scotland
