text: Popped in on the strength of the reviews here and had been trying to get here for some time but due to one thing or another we never quite made it By the time we all had a free evening to check it out we were really looking forward to the meal nnPositive side first I went mainly for the dosa as for whatever reason there does not seem to be many places to grab a dosa in Edinburgh and I was not disappointed I opted for the masala dosa which was just as I remember Standard set of condiments and nicely spiced A nice touch was the waiter informed us that they would refill the dips free of change as much as we needed Before the food we were given poppadoms and dips The dips were great in particularly the mixed picklennUnfortunately the other side of the experience was that the curries we ordered really were not good They were a Veg Chettinadu Chicken Chettinadu and a veg biryani All of them were riddled full of the cooking spices that are normally removed before serving Every mouth seemed to present some sort of raw spice from a full star anise to a the bark stuff I cannot remember the name of This really was not pleasant By the end of the meal we had excavated piles of inedible nonsense from our food The curries them selves were okay I tried a bit of the Chettinadu and all I could taste was cinamon and star anise with a bit of heat on the back end mmmnnI would go back for the dosa I guess but that was it really The service was good the food as a whole was not and the stars are for the service and the dosa alone eveything else was a thumbs down from me
