Miraj Indian Takeaway

Miraj Indian Takeaway sits on Main Street in Davidson's Mains, the smaller residential village in the north-west corner of Edinburgh beyond the Queensferry Road junction with Corbiehill Road. The kitchen is family-run, with the cooking done by a husband-and-wife team who have built a local following on the strength of portion size and consistent spicing. The menu covers the familiar range of subcontinental dishes — chicken tikka, lamb dishes, curries from mild to very hot — with halal meat used throughout. TripAdvisor reviewers highlight the chicken puri and stuffed paratha as particular strengths, and a number of regulars mention travelling from elsewhere in Edinburgh to pick up. Davidson's Mains has its own small shopping strip and a community feel distinct from the larger Stockbridge neighbourhood to the south-east, and Miraj is the main Indian option on the village's central street. Open from half four in the afternoon daily.
