Shapla

Shapla is a Bangladeshi takeaway on Easter Road, Edinburgh's long arterial running from the London Road junction down past Hibernian FC's stadium to the Foot of the Walk. The kitchen has been catering for over thirty years and serves Bangladeshi cooking with fresh herbs and aromatic spices — baltis, kormas, biryanis and a range of grilled tandoori dishes. The chef's long experience is reflected in a menu that emphasises genuine Bangladeshi spicing rather than the sweetened, anglicised curry house format. The shop operates seven days a week and is available through its own website at shaplatakeaway.co.uk as well as through the main delivery apps. Easter Road's residential density and the proximity of the Hibs catchment make it one of Edinburgh's busier takeaway streets, and Shapla has been a consistent presence at the Abbeyhill end of the road for decades.
