Bombay Spice is a friendly curry house in the Leith area of Edinburgh. The restaurant serves North Indian and Punjabi dishes specifically and uses only the freshest and finest spices and herbs, delicately blended, in its delicious dishes. The team at Bombay Spice Leith and the restaurant's varied menu, encourages diners to enjoy new culinary experiences as well as the familiar classic curries they know and love.
Inside, Bombay Spice is small and cosy. Staff, who are attentive but never intrusive, are happy to help diners with recommendations from the menu and advise on spice levels, ensuring that everyone finds something to their liking.
House specialities include Kathmandu beef served in a rich sauce of onions, lentils, cinnamon, ginger and bay leaves, Bombay Spice garlic and chilli lamb, made with onion, fresh green chillies and a liberal amount of garlic, and the chicken tikka makhani masala with a rich tangy sauce of tomato, cream and ground cashew nuts.
Diners will find plenty of tandoori, biryani and vegetarian dishes to choose from too. There are also some European dishes such as roast chicken or deep fried scampi. To accompany a meal, there are drinks from a well-stocked bar and a reasonably priced house wine.
Bombay Spice is close to Leith Links park and to the waterfront, where the Royal Yacht Britannia (the royal family's former personal yacht) is permanently berthed and open to visitors. The sights and sounds of Edinburgh city centre are also within striking distance. Buses to and from Edinburgh stop just round the corner from Bombay Spice so getting there by public transport is very easy.
