Four Edinburgh Indian restaurants named in British Indian Good Food Top 100 list for 2026
Two of the Edinburgh venues in the Top 100 have made their debut on the list, while others are storied favourites
Four Edinburgh restaurants have been named alongside the country’s best Indian eateries in a new national list.
The British Indian Good Food Guide has revealed its top picks across the UK as the Top 100 list was published for 2026.
While revered venue Raval Indian Brasserie & Bar in Newcastle reclaimed the top spot on the list, four Edinburgh institutions also claimed entries on the list.
Dishoom, located on St Andrew Square, and beloved favourite Mother India’s Cafe come highly recommended once again after impressing judges
Haldi, located in Mayfield Gardens, and Khushi’s Indian Restaurant on Forrest Road make their debut on the list after similarly making their mark on the judging panel. They join 25 other Indian restaurants across the UK which have joined the Top 100 list for the first time.
Dishoom, which opened its doors in December 2016, also claimed the coveted ‘Regional Champion 2026’ title.
Seven other Scottish restaurants have been named in the list alongside Dishoom, mother India’s Cafe, Haldi, and Khushi’s. This includes Swadish in Glasgow, which was also recommended as a ‘Regional Champion 2026’.
The editors of the British Indian Good Food Guide said: “Indian cuisine is woven into British life. For generations, Indian restaurants have been part of communities across the country, and today that tradition continues to evolve.
“Our 2026 selection reflects that breadth — from much-loved neighbourhood restaurants and regional specialists to some of Britain’s most ambitious modern kitchens.”
