Tanjore (Old Town)

• All served with a little bowl of Sambar (which is a delicious kind of lentil stew)
• Seats and decor are there for function rather than style but don't let that put you off
• Their dosas are delicious and the crab curry is insane
• Our experience with tomato uttapam was not good as it was not cooked properly but they replaced with another uttapam so no offence
• Its about 3 years ago i was in Edinburg with my wife on vacation
• The restaurant is too expensive for the quality and the ambience it provides
• One of the basic things in south indian foods is Idli and they server them for £
• This is almost double the price in best south indian restaurants from london
• The sambar and the chutney was good with authentic south indian taste and even the dosa was good but was small in size considering the price paid
• The server was very friendly and interactive
• The kind of food they served is quite authentic and tasty too
• The best part was the sambar which reminds you the food you get in india
• Myself and my cousins were looking for a good Indian restaurant and we actually felt home as soon as we crashed down Tanjore (Old Town)
• It's a typical South Indian restaurant were you find authentic South Indian food
• The seating is quite tightly packed but enough space to walk
• The Dosai was crispy with nicely cooked chicken stuffed in it and the paratha wasn't bad
• It took some time to come but was worth waiting which was a delicious coconut stuffed paratha served with a scoop of icecream
• The I only downside was the sambhar
• The place is really compact but the price of some dishes they put up is not worth for the ambience of the restaurant
• Biryani is our fav South Indian food and the biryani they serve is not an authentic taste of South Indian biryani
• I personally don't feel good to eat in a restaurant where the staff are not friendly and interactive
• Potato bonda and paneer spinach dumplings (all very tasty with nice accompaniments)
• There is a thali lunch deal which is very good value for money
• Actually the different plates it includes are small so you'll manage to finish it
• We went for a meal at night time with a bottle of red wine and had a great time
• 28 which was simply phenomenal for the quality of food we received
• The atmosphere is sincere and the staff very approachable
• The lunch deal is great value for money
• The peak times can often be crowded with a slight cue but it's definitely worth the wait
• One downside is they don't have a pay by card option and accept only cash
• Also they are closed between 3 to 5pm on a weekday and their last order for lunch is around 2.30pm so time your visit accordingly
• Overall Food was good and staff was courteous
• Used to visit Tanjore often when I was studying in Edinburgh
• One of my favourite places in Edinburgh whenever I was home sick and missing my favourite South Indian food
• The parosta and chicken curry was decent and was served fresh
• The ice cream wasn't that great as it was too sweet which left a bad taste
• You will know this is the best of Indian food
• We arrived to be greeted with a warm welcome
• Many years ago I was fortunate enough to have travel for a few months round the south of India
• One of the best lamb dishes I have ever tasted
