Best indian food we ever had. With my wife we're used to test different indian restaurants, and this one blew us by their perfect use of spices

Beautiful food, very welcoming management and staff on opening night. The momos were authentic and very tasty and the garlic nan was by far the best nan I've ever had...light and delicious. Definitely recommend the mango lassi! A full bar with interesting beers on tap...the Koshi IPA was very good. We had an all round lovely evening in a spacious, comfortable and well designed restaurant. Will be back soon!

This place should be packed on a Saturday night considering how amazing the food is. I was sad to see it so empty. The food was amazing, and the staff were super friendly. Honestly, it doesn't get enough credit. First time going, and I will definitely be back. 10/10.

One of the best restaurant in the whole Scotland. The dining experience and the venue layout is simply amazing. Staff was great and the fastest when it comes to taking order and serving food. Great Management and bar is one of biggest for this size of venue. The food was out of the world, Chicken Lollypop starter was mouth watering and presentation was as good as it gets. If your near Edinburgh, visiting this place is a must.

Superb menu. We read the reviews and made a 40 mile round trip to see for ourselves. Excellent food and fantastic service, which will bring us back for more. Thank you.

Visited Koshi's yesterday (a Wednesday evening). Friendly service, excellent food, lovely ambience!!! For a starter, I had the Tandoori King Prawns, which I must admit, is the tastiest Nepalese/Indian starter I have ever had - just so, so good, and the presentation is impressive as well. For the main course, I had a rather spicy dish called Lasuni Kukhura - incredible taste, but just a little spicy for me [that's not a criticism, by the way] - if I ate this dish again I would also request a raita (although I don't think this was on the menu) to help keep the palette cool. All in all, loved eating here, and will return soon.
