The Prahna Indian Grill is at 295A St John's Road in Corstorphine, west Edinburgh. The restaurant describes its approach as Indian by tradition and Scottish by nature, placing familiar spicing and tandoor technique alongside produce associated with Scotland.
Charcoal tandoor starters establish the grill led character of the kitchen, with lamb, seafood and vegetables taking on smoke and char. The main menu then moves into reimagined dishes featuring Scottish seafood and game before reaching a section of established curries.
Lunch and evening menus offer different ways to experience the food, while afternoon chai introduces savoury and sweet elements in a more leisurely format. A short dessert selection, tea and coffee complete the meal without overwhelming the main focus on spiced cooking.
Cocktails and other drinks make the restaurant suitable for celebrations as well as everyday dining, and takeaway is also available by direct arrangement. Guests should discuss allergies when booking or ordering because nuts, dairy, gluten, mustard and other allergens are common in Indian breads, sauces and garnishes.
