Reviews
Our ancient toilets have recently been the talk of the town. Thank you so much for your feedback. As we take our reviews very seriously, we're closing the restaurant for the day to get started on our renovations! Watch this space.
Aloo Chop is a perfect combination of mash potatoes and mixed vegetables infused with ginger, garlic and Himalayan spices. Food lovers, if you haven't tried Aloo Chop before then come to The Khukuri and try this flavoursome snack.
Today is a celebration of the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. So, food lovers... eat lots, drink well, be safe and have fun. See you next year!
The Khukuri will re-open on Thursday 27th December until then food lovers wishing you good company, good cheer and good food. Merry Christmas!
The Khukuri - Home of delicious Nepalese food. Our menu is carefully put together to bring you the best of Nepal and our team of experienced chef's will make sure your taste buds are tickled. Come, sit and enjoy your experience.
Bheda Ko Karang - tender cut of lamb marinated with chef's special spices and cooked to perfection in a clay oven. Happy Sunday food lovers!!!
The new favourite on our menu and what's not to love? Succulent, tender pieces of lamb marinated overnight using our chef's special spices and then fried to perfection to seal in all those mouthwatering flavours.

Wishing you a happy and prosperous Dashain.
The holidays are on their way and plans need to be made, parties need to be organised. We are now taking Christmas bookings food lovers, don't leave it too late.
Is there a better combination than Gulab Jamun and ice cream?
Sel Roti - a round, crispy doughnut-shaped snack extremely popular in Nepal, especially during this time of year. Tihar is in full swing and thousands of Sel Rotis, along with other sweet and savoury delights are made and offered to friends and family as blessings. We will be making more of these in the coming days so pop in food lovers and savour the ever-moreish Sel Roti.
Here it is foodlovers, introducing the Honey Pot dessert. It's sticky, it's sweet, it's luxury in a pot. Come in and give it a go!
Thank you David, the pleasure is all ours. We look forward to seeing you soon. üòÅ

Very nice dishes! esp the lamb chops meal(spectacular) and the chefs okra spcial dish. Place was beautiful and music was pleasant. Service was speedy and the staff members were lovely . Made a dish modification for allergies of the table.
Very good food <3
Unbelievable service an food! Can't fault any part of this place... First time definitely not the last.....top people and friendly apmosphere
P. S get the mixed grill!
The Khukuri ALWAYS delivers,never had a bad experience yet,great food,tasty & fresh,with out being too overspiced,as some other places tend to do (who will remain nameless,but they're not a million miles away from your location!) Been visiting your Restaurant regularly over the last few years,and I have too many favorite dishes to list here,but I really enjoyed the Mixed Grill i had last night,and Lee & Steve raved about the Khukuri Khukura & Khupa that they had. Top notch as always,and highly recommended!
Such a nice place and the veggie food is to die for!! The portions are great and good value for money!!
Service is fantastic, we were well looked after!! Highly recommend The Khukuri!!! Namaste! ÔøΩ
Staff were fantastic , food was really tasty not heavy on you also employee offered to box food up. Once we said no he suggested to give it to a homeless person up the road so it doesn't go to waste . Would highly recommend to anybody .
One of the best meals I have tasted, superb food and excellent service!
I’ve passed by many times but never gone in until yesterday and after an hour wished I had gone in many times before.
I find this know what to expect but thought it might be similar to Indian and I’m told it’s not that far removed.
They do cater for Indian classics like the Jalfrezi or Dhansak but only for people not willing to branch out and try something s little different.
I wish I had room for more there is a delicious array of dishes I’ve never tried before so I will be back very soon. It’s such a delicious change from everyday Indian cuisine.
Mono dumplings filled with minced chicken in spices were outstanding and their king prawns really were king.
Khorsani Masala lamb was succulent and delicious with added chillies and raw onion served to me on be side which I love alongside a great curry.
Lovely chapati bread homemade as per normal really good for wiping up the sauce and my chickpea rice I enjoyed very much as well.
Great staff all very hospitable and the owner holds court and will fill you in on anything you want to know about Nepal.
Best end was when we were served with Bengal Tea the most refreshing cup of tea I think I ever had in my life.
The tea makes me want to go back and back I will go
I love this place. Not only is the food great but the service is top class and they don't mind me rushing in and demanding to be quickly fed before running off again for my train from Haymarket (3 minutes away). The vegetarian menu is second to none def ÔøΩÔøΩÔøΩÔøΩÔøΩ friendly and tasty!
Guys I think I was here last night with my mate after watching Liverpool fail, we where looking for a Chinese for some chips and stumbled across this cracker. Food was unreal, beer was flowing! 10/10 and I will definitely come back, once I manage to figure out where you guys are. Thanks ÔøΩ
Great we place, from the outside you would walk by. We came across this restaurant a few years ago by chance and I am so glad we did. Great food, great service and ambiance, love coming here when we are In Edinburgh.
Great food! Friendly staff!
Food takes awhile to come but as it is cooked fresh to order it’s worth the wait. It is probably one of the best curries I have ever had. Staff were very polite and curious. Restaurant was spotless. Excellent value for money.
First time here... food was hot ..service good ..polite .. punctual ... caring staff... venue good... would’ve like to of seen some more authentic nepalese items
Fantastic food. Waiter suggestions were spot on delicious. Thankyou.
Brilliant night last night. Really busy but still excellent service. Apologies for being last out but we were having such a great time. The food is fantastic as always. See you soon.
Authentic Nepalese Restaurant with a calming atmosphere and exceptionally delicious food. Highly recommended for foodies ÔøΩ
