Britannia Spice

Britannia Spice is one of Edinburgh's best-known Indian restaurants, operating from a former whisky warehouse on Commercial Street near Ocean Drive in Leith. Named for the Royal Yacht Britannia, which is berthed within sight at Ocean Terminal, the restaurant draws together culinary traditions from India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Thailand under one roof. The kitchen has earned the Rosette Award for Culinary Excellence and maintains a loyal following built over many years of trading in Leith. Signature dishes include Mango Coriander Tikka, Chicken Tikka Makhani (butter chicken in a rich tomato and cashew sauce), and the Britannia Mix Tandoori platter with lamb, chicken and sheek kebab from the clay oven. Chicken Biryani is among the other frequently praised dishes. Halal options are available, and the menu includes extensive vegetarian choices. The restaurant delivers to Bonnington, Leith, Trinity and Newhaven. Ample car parking and a bus stop outside make it accessible from the city centre and beyond.
