Edinburgh Indian restaurant Prahna Indian Grill took customers on a sun-kissed voyage along the Union Canal with afternoon chai, live music and some beautiful food, creating an unforgettable experience for those on board.
The sold out trial run by the St John’s Road Indian restaurant was deemed a success by owner Arun Ramanan, who hopes to offer customers this Indian style afternoon tea voyage along the Edinburgh waterway more often in the future.
We went along and tried it out for ourselves – and here is what we thought.
