Mezbaan - South Indian

On Edinburgh's Tollcross, set in a traditional grey stone building, is Mezbaan, a popular South Indian restaurant drawing in both locals and visitors to the city alike. The approach, with burgundy awning and black and white tiled step, has a hint of Manhattan about it. The city slicker vibe continues inside with a well appointed dining room and extremely efficient service, however the food offers a rustic vibe, being the only place in Edinburgh to sample South Indian cuisine. Always popular is the street style food; masala dosas, idlis or the much talked about haggis pakoras, proving that it's still possible to inject a touch of imagination in to Indian food.
