The Cove

Absolutely cracking place. Found it by accident, but we will be back! The food was fantastic, both the lamb and chicken were tender. Possibly the nicest onion bhaji I've ever eaten. The dishes were a good size. Service was really good, that right level of there when you need them, polite as you would expect but not crawly - spot on. Food came quickly, which is a bonus when you had a kid with little patience! Nice atmosphere, well maintained. Quite a few people in while we were there but didn't feel crowded or too noisy. All in, get in and have a fantastic meal!

Had amazing dinner at The Cove two days in a row during our stay at Edinburgh. We were staying at the Holiday Inn Express City West and given that we had our parents on the trip, we were searching for a good Indian food place this part of town. We saw that The Cove is roughly half a mile away and decided to try it out. What strikes you first about The Cove is the nice and warm nature of the staff. Almost all of them hail from Bangladesh and given our family's connections to that part of Bengal, we bonded immediately. We were initially a bit skeptical about the food but it turned out to be a delicious meal and everyone on the table - my father (who prefers non vegetarian), myself (who prefers egg based meals) and my wife and son (who prefer vegan) liked whatever was served. The atmosphere was nice, warm and cosy and a brilliant setting as the light faded outside at the end of the day! To all Indians and Bangladeshis who visit Edinburgh, we would recommend The Cove. Of course, when we visit again, we will come back for sure!
