Pataka - Edinburgh

The staff was friendly and welcoming and took my booking on the phone without annoying. at the arrival they took our coats to dry and were quick to ask if we wanted to order something. we ordered a pickle tablet and poppadome and knew we had the right choice, as these were all delicious and the mint and yoghurt sauce was made home. the samosas were also handmade and fresh and tasty. I ordered the Kathmandu chicken and it was hard. when I ate it nicely, the chicken was fresh and perfectly cooked. the naan broth I ordered to accompany it was also phenomenal, no farewell, full of ingredients and fresh.

Had a lovely family meal. As always, Pataka makes delicious dishes, it is a go-to place for us as we had veggie and gluten free members in our group which was no problem at all.

Had a very nice joint birthday meal here with friends. Food was excellent as always and the service was good too. Many thanks

My partner and I took her parents to Pataka over the weekend and we enjoyed a truly exceptional Indian meal. One of the finest Indian Bengali restaurants in Edinburgh. The menu is extensive, with familiar classics and many unusual options not widely available. The service was quick and plenty of staff were ever present to deal with any concerns with a smile. The food was first class; my Chicken Madras, sada rice, and garlic naan was the best I 've ever eaten and my companions were equally impressed. The prices are reasonable and, even without a starter or dessert, we were pleasantly full by the end of the evening. The restaurant itself is decorated in a Charles Rennie Mackintosh theme (possibly an old CRM 'tea room ' , with stained glass windows and CRM prints distributed on the panelled interior walls. The place settings and coasters also followed this delightful motif. The restaurant is not open during the day, so I 'd recommend leaving plenty of time to book a table, which seemed necessary as the restaurant was lively and full for most of the evening. Pataka also offers a takeaway service which we look forward to trying in the future.

Brilliant. Not been there for a long time. Our fault not there's. We and our friends had a great evening as always. The place is fantastic. Such a friendly place to visit. Thanks for looking after us guys.
