Masti Indian Street Food Restaurant - Morningside in Edinburgh

great service, we only had 30 minutes to eat, and got out with a full belly and a lovely night.

Great service and if possible even better food.

Food excellent and could not fault the service

Very good food for cheap

Fantastic food and top quality service. Definitely will be back

Best Indian food I have ever eaten.

Easily ordered and paid online went and picked up as 20% off. Had chicken Madras and attempted rice with chicken pakora. Food cooked and tasted great. No complaints at all. Would recommend and go back.

Amazing curries, great all round food - in restaurant and takeaway. One of the best curries in Edinburgh - love it

Always a pleasure to eat at Masti. The food is delicious and the service first rate. My first choice of Indian restaurants.

Disappointing not staying open later during Edinburgh fringe They have shows on the whole of August in the Churchill theatre which finish about 9:30 and kitchen closes at 9:45 missed opportunity!

Best food and service in the town. The staff here was polite and attentive.

The food is really good and not pricey. Its BYOB but also serves kingfisher beer on tap. Food

I like paneer kadhai, mango lassi, butter garlic naan of masti. Frequently ordering food.

Really enjoyed our first time to Masti. Food was nice and hot and packed with flavour. Great service, would definitely recommend if you re looking for a good valued meal.

Excellent!

Tasty korma and butter chicken, naans were lovely also.

Guys were brilliant wee finishing touch way cake will be back

The food was nice but the staff rushed us from the moment we sat down. We were asked what we wanted to drink before I had even had a chance to take off my jacket. We booked a table for 8:30 pm, a whole 1.5 hours before closing time and there was no reason to hound us the way they did. It was unpleasant, and I would not go back.

One of the loveliest dinners out Ive had in a while! Food was absolutely delicious (Indian tapas is such a good idea!) and the service was wonderful. It was my sisters birthday so Id brought a sparkler for them to pop in her dessert and, not only did they do this, they also played Happy birthday over the speakers. Will definitely be back soon and will recommend to others. Clearly the owners and the staff have put a lot of thought and effort into creating a great dining experience :)

First time there would deffo go back

We are normally here once a month Ahmed and his team always make sure you enjoy everything they have on offer , Portion size is just perfect we find and quality of the food is 100%

Had a nice lunch here. Tasty and decent value, fast service.

This is a great Indian tapas place in Morningside. We had a lovely chicken tikka ,prawn tandoori to start .Main we shared a northern garlic chicken with a roti and steamed rice all dishes fresh tasty and hot. All in £28 which is great value for money. They do have a licence but let you bring your own which I think is great . Eating out is now a luxury they encourage you to dine out with this option I would highly recommend

This restaurant reminds me of home and remarks authentic Indian cuisine. Would definitely recommend for lunch/ dinner. The staff here are extremely welcoming and the environment is very cosy. Food

Amazing food and great service! :)

The food is Indian tapa style small bowls so we ordered a dish each, mine was North Indian Garlic Chicken Lee shared a Butter Chicken. Usual popadoms, pickles etc. with a Garlic Nan. Food was really nice and hot, friendly staff from the manager to our servers. It can be a little noisy. Overall nice place, nice food, nice staff.

Excellent meal. Lovely food, generous portions and attentive staff. Will be back!

Amazing food - had the lamb rogan josh w/ rice and samosas. All excellent. Highly recommend.

Very fast delivery. Tasty food and good portions. The Onion Bhajis were a bit soggy and not as crispy as we like

We had the tapas dishes can t fault it full of flavour

This place is fantastic. The second you walk in, its warm, quiet and posh. A bit of background music makes a really nice atmosphere. You dont have to come here on a date but its the perfect place for one. The waiters are super friendly and look really smart. The food was absolutely fantastic and came quick. I tried the strawberry daiquiri and it was phenomenal. Good size portions, full tummy and well happy.

Really good food. As a group of 6 we ordered every veggie main dish and that was perfect for the big appetites and still some delicious leftovers!

Amazing food!!!

Christmas dinner. Good choice, with very tasty food. Fortunately, we share, because she chose the starter I was going to have & I had something else. Nothing wrong with mine, but her Chicken65 was better!! Very good service. Other choices not listed here

Top food for a great price.

Absolutely delicious, well priced food for sharing. Also BYOB!

Delicious food, just the right amount of friendly service, cosy little BYOB restaurant. Highly recommended Vegetarian options: Most dishes come with meat, fish or vegetable option Parking: On street Wheelchair accessibility: Pavement level with double doors

We had a function a Masti (a wake). Ahmed couldnt have been more helpful. Really good food and the staff were excellent, for what was probably a slightly different experience for them! Id highly recommend them for your usual lunch or dinner, or for any functions you might have. Thanks Ahmed and your team

Interesting idea spoiled by lack of differentiation in sauces and missing fresh vegetables Vegetarian options: Acceptable but lacking fresh vegetables

Was looking for some Indian comfort food and Masti in Morningside did not disappoint. Their servers were incredibly attentive and service was much faster than Id expected. I tried popadum with the picked relishes for an appetizer. The yogurt and mango sauce perfectly complimented the heat from the spicy pickled veg. For main I went very basic and tried the chicken Tikka Masada with pashwari naan and pilau rice. The sauce was rich and creamy. The pashwari was packed with coconut, very pleased. Finally, splurged on a vanilla milkshake and it made me a giddy as a child. Cant wait to go back!

The staff kept staring at us while we were having food, made us really uncomfortable.

Great experience. The manager was very attentive. Great food.

Hidden gem great value lunch menu qnd the service was unreal !

Exceptional food and staff. Fresh food and awesome taste. Highly recommended for everyone

Amazing!! Ordered chilli chicken starter, tandoori prawns (huge) chicken madras, jalfrezi and goan fish curry, every single dish was fresh and tasty plus staff are friendly and welcoming! Thanks

Great vfm and its BYO... Kid-friendliness: Very child-friendly, our 3 grandchildren love it. Food : 5/5 |

Oh my god very very very bad worse attitude by the staff supervisor I think his designation. Talks to customer with back body facing to us needs money no respect to customer. Never go here please let them learn first how to treat people basic knowledge needed. Go for other Indian restaurants in city centre not these places.

An outstanding meal. 4 of us had different meals and everyone said it was the best tasting Indian theyd ever had. Highly recommend eating here.

Wonderful evening, staff friendly, efficient & helpful. Love the idea of tapas indian dishes. Each one full of flavour. Great recommendations. Lovely atmosphere. Everyone in the group said their chosen dishes were fabulous. Can t recommend this place highly enough.

Amazing food, great value and perfect service.

Best Indian restaurant in town! We have been here more than 5 times now and every single day we enjoyed it endlessly. They serve the best Butter Chicken we have ever eaten, its definitely a must try

Best chaat! Their curry was fresh and delicious. It s a must try place

Amazing lunch deal for great price

Best Indian lunch in the area

Fantastic food

Excellent food already booked a return visit.

Was very quiet when we were there, though that was very early. The staff were all brilliant though and very cheerful and attentive. The food was great, with generous portions and not just small plates that we were expecting. Its also BYOB, with no corkage charge, which is great considering they do their own wine and beer. Can definitely recommend

Delicious delicate Indian meal

Excellent food, experience and the team which looked after us. We had special requests keeping in mind our 5 year old - they were spot on, empathetic and mindful of what they served! Thank you guys. By far the best Indian meal in UK (the garlic naan could give a run for their money to any Indian authentic restaurant and can definitely teach the QSR option the restaurants otherwise use)!

Really nice evening at Masti, very friendly atmosphere and delicious food. They are BYOB and also have a license, there s a nice bottle shop down the street that you can visit on the way with a fun assortment of beers and wine too! Just finishing up the leftovers for lunch and they re delicious the next day as well! Will definitely return.

We really liked the taste of food. They have got real indian flavour in their cuisines. And the quantity of side dish is also quite sufficient as compared to most other restaurants. Recommended: Dal Makhni, Hot Chocolate

My partner and I were travelling through Edinburgh and wandered in to Masti, the manager was incredibly accommodating to us and all the other customers on the restaurant, as well as all the other staff. The food was fantastic with the fish pakora and onion Bhaji followed by the chicken Khadi. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for quality Indian

Good selection of dishes at reasonable price, friendly staff but it can be quite noisy.

Great food and nice atmosphere.

Everything delicious!

Great food with a varied menu in a clean, well situated with reasonable prices

Lovely variety of flavours and very tasty.

Great food and very delicious but the quantity for the price needs to be better. Otherwise highly recommended.

Super food. Lovely polite staff without being over attentive. Certainly will be back and the advantage of BYOB with no corkage charge.

Excellent Indian food

We had a great experience at Masti today. It was our first time here. We were very pleased with the food. Even more pleased with the service that went above and beyond. Very friendly and really seemed to care. We will be back!

Excellent food and service, thank you!

Fantastic food great atmosphere always made welcome highly recommended

Really good food. Great value and friendly welcoming service. Will definitely be back!!

Great curries & fab service, save space for the kulfi

Had lunch with my friend and it was lovely will definitely come back with my partner and we will bring our own wine which is nice had there wine with my friend and was lovely Vegetarian options: My friend enjoyed vegetarian

I was picking up takeaway on a sunday night. Inside the restuarant was totally full. Food was absolutely delicious. Only issue was Naan was a bit tough after travelling homevabout 8bmons. Highly recommended

Ordered for collection and the food was horrible. Frozen cubed vegetables in the vegetable korma and rogan josh that looked like baby food. Never been to an Indian with sweetcorn in the curry! The korma didn t taste in the slightest bit like a korma and the rogan josh had obviously been given wrong as it was nothing like a rogan josh and had paneer in it. The garlic naan was rock solid and just had green garlic butter spread over it. The rice was the only thing that was edible. Go somewhere else as it s not cheap either! Vegetarian options: Cubed vegetables in the vegetarian curries

Excellent value set lunch menu. Very good service by lone waiter. Food

Really had a great lunch today.I am from Bangladesh and staying in England and looking for a good Indian restaurant and finally got it.Had a lamb achari just a amazing test .Highly recommended for asian traditional food.service was so good. Hope will visit again. Thanks a lot.

Brilliant meal! Full of flavour, lovely hot plates and brilliant service. Thanks for a lovely evening.

Masti gave me a great experience the food is delicious and the service was excellent the people at masti are very friendly and even remembered me when I went back 5 stars

Good food!

Excellent food , at great prices , advised to have 3 main dishes with nan and 1 rice , it was just a perfect amount for 2 , visited on the 08/08/20 and the staff could not be more helpful , premises were very clean with well distanced tables , will visit again when in Edinburgh

Excellent food & excellent service

Lovely food, will be back.

Excellent food and friendly staff. We have been there many times and absolutely love it! The lunch menu is far too cheap, so we always leave a big tip. I don t know how you survive, but I would put the price up if I were the boss! For those who haven t been there, I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

This restaurant served halal meat, lamb briani superb tasty. Very nice waiters service. Good to be here!

Amazing food with an amazing atmosphere and very friendly staff. The food was definitely top quality and very authentic tasting. Thank you for such a wonderful dining experience.

Great indian food, Good service

Excellent service, delicious food

Wonderful food cooked fresh gorgeous staff and lovely surroundings and fantastic value - a 3 course meal was £8.50. Superb throughly delighted and highly recommend.

Lovely little Indian tapas places , it s nice to try a few different things with the smaller portions, and byob the service in here is also excellent, the guys are lovely

Excellent food! Loved it

Lovely decor and attentive staff. Food top quality and served quickly without seeming rushed. My only complaint is that the lunch menu is limited - a korma or pasanda would have been nice for those of us who dont get along so well with the tomato based or spicy dishes.

very tasty and spicy dishes

Great food, lovely atmosphere, very friendly staff & top notch customer service.

I m very dissapointed we ordered a takeaway tonight, we are first time customers and although the food is tasty the portions was so small. I won t be ordering again unless the portions are changed

Always have a lovely time here but I had a fantastic time at Masti for my 23rd with a booking for 12 people. Service was amazing with regular check ins and friendly, welcoming staff. Food was delicious! Loved the sparkler in my pudding!

Been a couple times now and highly rate it. Great value for tasty food!

Full-bodied authentic dishes with flavorful tandoor-baked naan. Highly recommended.

Great food. Such friendly staff.

Im really enjoyed that food .the staff is very professional and food very delicious never taste that food in Edinburgh

Excellent food, very friendly and attentive staff, thanks!

Great deal for the lunch set where you can get a starter, main, and ice cream for £8.5. Also comes with complementary papadum and I was stuffed full! Excellent service from staff.

Excellent food, great atmosphere, and the staff are very attentive, highly recommended.

Such a worst Restaurant, I never recommended this had ordered for 40£ On Deliveroo today. all been thrown into Bin. Its not at all a Indian food nor a food. Utterly disappointed. Rice not cooked properly, Curry not cooked properly.. None of the food is tasty.

I would not recommend ordering a takeaway from this restaurant. We did when we were on holiday. Once they have your phone number they constantly spam txt you. It costs you to reply to attempt to opt out. Update - Im now getting them twice a week! I live 400 miles from Edinburgh, stop spamming me!!!!!

Very good and tasteful restaurant. Food is delicious. Friendly personal that is very helpful. Almost too much. Not very cheap, but quality and prizes are in balance.

Great find and good fantastic. The owner was very helpful when ordering dishes. Would definitely recommend

Absolutely amazing Indian, highly recommend

Absolutely delightful staff & the best service we have ever received in our 6 years in Edinburgh! Food is absolutely delicious and the portions are generous enough that well be eating the leftovers for dinner again tonight! Really enjoyed our evening and will be going back again soon! X

Said it is Halal, but no sign of Halal. Thank you, hope you put halal signage at your restaurant.

There were problems with Just Eat delivery but restaurant redid the order and delivered themselves - worth the wait as food was delicious

The site couldnt be better. Better for many reasons: the food is exquisite in flavor, it is well cooked and of quality, the treatment of the waiters is impeccable and the music and atmosphere is cozy. I am lucky to have the restaurant in front of my hotel and I dont eat anywhere else :)

Servings are big. Staff are friendly.

I was staying at a nearby hotel and went here for an early dinner. It was the best Indian food I ever had. I had the Tandoori lamb chops starter, chicken tikka masala and garlic naan.

Amazing food and service recommend the masti special fish we love Khadm.

Excellent service, clean and modern, excellent food

Fabulous food, fabulous service! Well be back

Very nice food and good service! Naan is delicious!

The best food in town.

Absolutely wonderful service and staff, welcoming atmosphere. Food was absolutely delicious, thoroughly recccomend the vegetable pakora! Very affordable for the quality. Will definitely be back :))

An Indian in Edinburgh is not common, but when you find the right one you cant help but be happy. LOCAL | Modern Indian classic, I dont know what to call it. Nice, but without many typical details. PERSONAL | The owner followed us, a very smart bike even if it is difficult to communicate with him being a DOC Indian. But smart! COOKING | Delicious, typical dishes prepared with care. Real flavors ACCOUNT | The two of us paid just over £30. Receipt attached

Food was really nice, the staff were accommodating and all round really good

Delicious!

Very frustrating, rushed through a very average meal at 2100 on a Friday night

Excellent tapas size dishes, particularly the Goa fish curry, and their biryani. Licenced but also corkage free BYOB. Super value lunches just now, £8.50 for 3 courses. Vegetarian options: Of course, its an Indian restaurant. Parking: Its Churchill / Morningside, so limited availability of parking places. Kid-friendliness: Im sure they would be ok with young people, but perhaps no very young criers.

Amazing food, amazing customer service! The owner is very passionate about his business and that really reflects in the food and service. Best Indian food Ive had in awhile!

Excellent service, super food in terms of price and quality. Lunch package: 3 items for £8.5.

Fabulous takeaway - recommended. Must visit in person.

We love a curry from Masti! Always delicious with friendly and quick service (only 30 mins for delivery tonight!).

Had a similar experience to someone who reviewed this place a few months ago tonight, ordered North Indian garlic and what I received seemed to be some sort of Chinese sweet and sour chicken very disappointing for the portion size and price but the other curries tasted pretty good. But if your a North Indian garlic lover then I d go for other places around the area.

Quite salty, no veg at all with the meat !! Disappointing.

IMHO the best curry house in Edinburgh. Deliveries are always on time, piping hot and delicious. Dining in (when permitted) is fun and informal. The Boss is very friendly and knows what hes doing.

Just had the business lunch at Masti. Very impressed with both the food and the service. Ahmed couldnt have been more helpful. Will definitely be back.

Tasty food, beautifully presented.

Staff here are very helpful and friendly. Food was very good. It is a kind of Indian tapas restaurant. If you cant finish it you can get it packed up to take away with you when you leave

Lovely staff, amazing help & recommmendations from the servers!

Delicious food Great ambience Great service One of the best place in Edinburgh for Indian food Reasonable price . Experienced manager and chefs . Highly recommend this place to anyone. Must try this restra you will not be disappoint. You can bring your own alcohol with very less corkage charge . Will visit in future

Food was brilliant, service excellent and friendly, food coming out fast without it being a rush. Lunch menu is a great deal. Would highly recommend

Love the food, its a BYOB and the price is reasonable. Smaller portions of dishes you know and love so you can have more choice. Whats not to like.

Go there to pick up a takeaway on a Friday, staff very nice, easy to book order and pay online. Did really nice and fresh never had any problems with them.

Tasty food and attentive staff

Service was great, food was amazing, fair price! Highly recommend.

Really nice place to go for a curry i was really dissapointed to find the clay oven has moved to pretty much takeaway only just along the road am not sure if this is part or the clay oven or if it is its own business but it was really high standard of food i will deffo be back really good size of portions of food also

Super food, BYOB, pleasant service and surroundings. Will definitely go back.

Some of the best curries Ive ever had. Truly superb! Very good service too. Lovely staff and quick service.

I ve been there once for a dinner and was please to know that all meat is halal. Staff is very friendly and food was delicious although a bit expensive. A happy customer and look forward to be back soon.

One of the best Indian restaurants.

Thank you for the welcome from the staff. The manager was very kind and adapted the spicy side for my dish. The setting is also very beautiful

Wonderful food, excellent service!! Have licence but you can bring your own drink. Good ambience, couldnt ask for better!! Will be back!!

We ordered a takeaway delivery from Masti through Deliveroo and really liked the food, which was to a good standard. But . what a depressing use of polystyrene and plastic containers and bags. Really disappointed and wouldn t order again until more sustainable packaging is used. Good food deserves good wrapping, and so does the planet.

Visited with family. Great food and very hospitable staff. Very authentic Indian food.

Arthur and I went to Masti, Morning Side Road Edinburgh this afternoon and were very impressed by the quality and service we received. The prices are lower than the Indian Lounge on Rose Street, where we used to go, but the food was much better. We will definitely be back. First class service. Marie and Arthur Berry.

I ordered Lamb Jalfrezie, I ll ask for whole to be added for me next time peshwari naan tasted really authentic and finally a great curry

Great food, everything was tasty. Advertised Nas street food, but was absolutely just a normal very tasty curry menu..

I find it highly suspicious that over half the reviewers who have given this restaurant a five star rating had never written a review before, and have never written one since???? It is well known that some businesses write 5 star reviews under psuedonym names to get their ratings up!

Good quality sharing dishes, smallish portions so need a few to share properly, decent flavours and spicing, excellent fresh naans, gets very busy so book in advance

Amazing food and great hospitality

heard lots of good reviews so decided to try with some friends. Have to say we were pleasantly surprised.good sized portions are staff very knowledgeable and gave good suggestions. I chose the samosa starter followed by the the garlic chilli chicken and a garlic nan. Have to say they are the nicest garlic nans I have ever had! We will be back not just for the food but for the great hospitality these guys can t do enough for you. Such a friendly warm feel from the place even when it was busy.

We wanted to try some fun street food yesterday for a change and were thoroughly impressed with the restaurant. Overall a very pleasant experience. Very attentive staff, friendly atmosphere and reasonably priced food. Unpretentious decor and clean interior. Will definitely become a regular.

Great food and prices! Been waiting for this place to open and wasnt let down. Food is fresh and has a nice twist. Would definitely recommend and come again!

Lively, friendly atmosphere, tasty, good value food. BYOB. Whats not to like?

Great value, tasty dishes with attractive decor and good service

The good reviews must be fake ones bought via an Indian bot. The quality is very average at best, the portion size is shocking. I had two small cubes of lamb in a tiny pot. To charge £6.95 for such turgid quantities is insulting. There was hardly any sauce on the lamb curry, the rice equally small portion size. The ambience of the restaurant was stark and unfriendly. One of the worst dinning experiences I have had.

Awful meal at Masti last night due to poor service, rude staff and crowded restaurant. The food itself was pretty good to be fair, but the experience was spoiled by the food arriving slowly in dribs and drabs, thus we d share one small dish between four then have to wait for the next dish, despite specifically asking for all the dishes to be served at same time. The restaurant was very busy and the staff are happy to let groups build up waiting in the restaurant and my friend kept getting jostled by a group who were waiting to be seated, and our wine was nearly knocked over several times. We were then told by one of the waiters that we had to leave our table as they were busy - after only 90minutes - and despite no mention of needing the table back at a certain time, and while we still had not finished our drinks. It s really disappointing as we d heard good things about Masti. If the idea is to create the street food experience of trying to eat in the middle of a Kolkata highway, with all the noise, and over crowding then these guys have nailed it.

Beautiful food, perfectly cook, great service and reasonable prices.

Food is amazing, BYOB. Fantastic service , good value for money.

Visited last night and are party was 14 people. Simply cannot recommend it enough. The food, portions, staff, service and ambiance is wonderful and everyone in our group very much enjoyed it. The face it s BYOB is always a plus. Can t wait to return. Very much a 5* experience. Thank you Masti and staff for a fab evening. X

Great food and service would definitely recommend

Nice food.

One of the best Indian restaurants in Edinburgh

Delicious food, perfectly cooked, fantastic flavours. Very reasonably priced. Look forward to ordering again soon. Highly recommend.

Ordered some veggie dishes for takeaway and they gave us a chicken dish instead of the paneer we had ordered. The receipt showed paneer, the initials of the paneer dish were written on the box, and because of the sauce we didn t realise the mistake until we had eaten a bite. Really unpleasant surprise for vegetarians. I took it back and they offered us a replacement dish and a refund for the dish when I refused that. Don t think they really appreciated the seriousness though and said it must have just been a mix up of lids in the kitchen - presumably somebody else ordered a chicken dish and received paneer, hopefully not somebody with a dairy allergy. We have had good meals from Masti before, but won t be back after this. We looked up the food hygiene rating afterwards and they have a requires improvement rating, good lesson for next time we are looking for a takeaway.

Have dined in before with friends and enjoyed the atmosphere so we decided to ordered a takeaway at the weekend for the first time. Defo recommend food was so fresh and we even had enough for left overs the next day. Portion sizes are great and our stand out dish was the chicken tikka masala. The delivery driver was great and followed social distancing and they have 20% off your bill when you order direct which made it even more affordable.

OH MY GOSH!! Real taste of authentic Indian food. This was the best curry I have tasted in a very long time with so much vegan/vegetarian options. Mmmmmm cooked to perfection, absolutely loved it (I cook curry myself and usually always disappointed but not with this!!) Tasty, tasty, already booked a table for next week! Value for money is fantastic and it s BYOB!!! Staff are gorgeous and so friendly and helpful. Well done OG s of curry, Morningside just got a whole lot better!!

Lovely food and affordable too! I will be back.

It was my first time using this restaurant and sadly it will be my last. The price is on par with other local Indian restaurants but the portion sizes are far smaller. My husband had a korma and I had a north indian garlic chilli chicken. His, he said tasted ok. Mine was a different matter. I dont know if maybe I had been given the wrong dish but it was not like any other garlic chilli chicken I have had. The sauce was very very sweet to the point I really couldnt eat it and the chicken seemed like it was coated before being cooked and had the texture of a nugget. Overall, I was disappointed.

Fantastic food and service... Enough said

Loved it. Small tapas type dishes allows you taste all the wonderful curries. Try the butterfly prawn starter....delicious.

Great Indian food and very friendly staff. Especially during the coronavirus situation, the staff has been very nice, friendly and smiling despite how difficult it must be to be a relatively newly opened restaurant this year. Well keep ordering delicious Indian takeaway from Masti!

Great meal and service great.

Amazing staff, really attentive and food cooked to perfection. Really enjoyed my meal with family.

We had a BEAUTIFUL meal from Masti - all the dishes ordered were cooked to perfection! Its the perfect choice when deciding on a weekend takeaway, and with 20% off collections and deliveries ordered through their website it is amazing value for money.
