Red Fort Restaurant

Red Fort is a fifty-seat licensed Indian restaurant on Drummond Street, the short road running between Nicolson Street and the Pleasance, directly opposite the Festival Theatre and close to the University of Edinburgh's Old College. The kitchen works a traditional north Indian menu built around the charcoal-fired tandoor — tandoori chicken, tikka khumbi dupiaza and the range of standard tandoori preparations alongside a full curry menu covering lamb, chicken, prawn and vegetarian dishes. A lunchtime buffet offers a rotating selection of vegetarian and non-vegetarian recipes at a set price. Red Fort operates a relaxed bring-your-own policy with no corkage charge, which makes it popular with students and locals who want a sit-down meal without the cost of a licensed house. Takeaway is available, with online ordering through Just Eat. The restaurant closes between the lunch and dinner service.
