Voujon (Newington)

• I have to say Voujon was really really good the curries all tasted different full of labours and a good level of spice
• Only problem was it took an hour to arrive and we were starving but it was worth it
• The last time we went to an Indian restaurant was Itihaas in Dalkeith
• They are wonderful in savoury dishes and I was very excited to find shatkora on the menu of Voujon when we went there last week
• The interior is fresh and open
• My starter was sardine bhorta
• It went beautifully with puri and would be great on sourdough on a Sunday morning
• The spice mix was complex &ndash
• It works well with the lamb and the almost smoky character of the sauce
• We had rice and plain naan with the mains although
• Vegetables with mustard and green herbs in a sauce
• The service is friendly and attentive
• Myself and Emma from Edinbug were invited by a PR company to try out Voujon
• This modern restaurant is situated in Newington
• Emma went for annaj pakora and saag paneer with rice and chapatis
• Voujon is a lovely Indian restaurant in Newington and a firm favourite with local residents
• The restaurant wasn't busy and we were a little worried had we made the wrong choice
• It would seem that midweek most of their business is takeaway but this didn't delay our dishes at all
• Sometimes with korma they can be bland in the dish is forgettable
• The service was great and they offer us some space between each course to ensure we were ready for the next
• When I asked our waiter for the evening how long Voujon had been open in Edinburgh I was surprised to hear 12 years
• I had takeawy from Voujon twice over the last month and was really impressed both times by how tasty they were
• The curries I ordered weren't too spicy for me (but my partner who loves spice was happy with his ones) and they were pleasingly full of vegies and flavour
• In typical SFR style we shall start this review with a bit of fun
• Let's start with an easy one Macho
• Sarah and I are guilty of not branching out in search of rivals to our much loved regulars Rivage and Desi Pakwan
• When you know the food is always going to be top notch
• Word is that Voujon is pretty good
• Spicy curry but not a hot curry as well as all the other delicious dishes There are so many varieties of curries
• We visit regularly and have never been disappointed with the quality of the food or service
