Give us a call at the Guru Balti Restaurant – whether you want to come to us for a family meal – or just to catch up with friends we’re open every night bar Mondays serving up the best Indian food in Edinburgh.

As a little March madness – we have decided that our ever popular 3 course meal offer (£13.95 for 3 courses Tuesday to Thursday) needs to be cheaper.  For special people – the deal will be only £10.95 – and you have 2 options to become one of those special people.

Print off the voucher from our Special Offers page and bring it to the restaurant.  Alternatively, we’ll be distributing flyers across the city centre.  If you get your hands on one of these – be green and bring that along rather than printing off your own!

If you don’t have the confidence to choose your own – or are struggling with the licensing laws and the hours you can actually buy wine – we still have a great range available to buy on the day.

Balti Chicken Saag Mirch

This is our new and exciting version of the classic Indian combination of chicken and fresh spinach. Ours is slightly hotter than traditional dishes with the warmth of fresh coriander and freshy roasted spices adding that little something extra to the dish. There’s no denying this dish has some heat – but when the flavours are as good as these – it only adds to the experience.

Balti Green Herb Chicken

Another new dish – and another one to whet the appetite. This dish is a celebration of fresh and tasty. Again – starting with the most tender chicken, we add some fresh tomatoes and some crunchy green pepper. The flavour is then turned up to maximum with lovely fresh spring onions, spicy coriander leave and some lively fresh ginger to finish. We think this is the perfect balance of taste and texture.

We want to celebrate our Guru Special Chutney – so here’s a brief history of classic Indian pickles and chutneys.

Pickles and chutneys are a great means of ensuring fruit and veg that would otherwise go mouldy have a longer life. Whilst western pickles are often created using vinegar – Indian pickles generally use oil and a mixture of spices and salt to create the same effect. Lime pickle is generally made from quartered limes that are slightly sun dried to intensify their flavours. These are then added to some cooked spices to give a combination of sour and hot flavours – all maintaining that distinct texture.

Our new special pickle is fresh and hot to taste. A superb mix of chilli, coriander, garlic, ginger and lemon. We think it’s great with pakoras – but to be honest it is fantastic with any starter or meal. Not only that – but it is an absolute steal at only £1.50 a portion!

Offers for Eating In – 3 courses for £13.95

Daybreakers is released today at Cineworld – a new vampire movie where the undead now outnumber the living.

If you’re brave enough to see it, surely you can sink your teeth into one of our hot Vindaloo curries before or after the film?  We’re only a couple of minutes away from Cineworld at Fountain Park.

Chicken Tikka Masala

Often called Britain’s favourite curry dish – and allegedly with origins from the early 1500s when a descendant of Genghis Khan decided he was fed up choking on chicken bones and had his chefs remove them before cooking. Our version features chicken cooked in the tandoor on skewers – and then enveloped in a lovely curry sauce.

North Indian Chilli Garlic Chicken

There is no denying that this is a hot and spicy dish – and maybe not one for the beginner – but if you like your food full of flavour – this is the curry for you. The clue to the ingredients is in the name – and the addition of lovely fresh coriander ensures this will warm you during this cold weather.

Balti Kashmiri Chicken Murgh Makhani

This is a lovely mild dish. The pieces of chicken are barbecued in the tandoor and then enveloped in a sauce of banana, lychee pineapple and almonds. A gentle dish – creamy and satisfying.

Guru Special Naan

If we can make one recommendation though – accompany any of these with our Guru Special Naan. One of our classic oversized naan breads smeared with lovely fresh buttery garlic and coriander.

Sherlock Holmes is back on our screens courtesy of Guy Ritchie. Sherlock Holmes is played by Robert Downey Jr and and Dr Watson by Jude Law.

We’re a minute or two away from Cineworld so come in for one of our popular dishes – the Murgh Makhani – before or after the film!

One of the first things you will notice when you come to see us it that our portions are larger than other restaurants. We know you are going to love our food – so giving you more to start with means you are going to be delighted.

Not only are our dishes large though – our naans are likely to be the biggest you have seen. All this means to you is even more lovely fluffy bread to help soak up all the goodness of your meal – awesome.
