    Absolutely fantastic! I love Southern Indian cuisine, but it's somewhat difficult to find restaurants that specialize in it where we live in the states. We were super excited to happen upon Tanjore in Edinburgh and we were lucky we arrived when we did; it seems like you need a reservation after 5:30 or so on a weekend.

    Not only was the food incredible, there were quite a few dishes I hadn't seen before. Every dish we tried was delicious, but the karaikudi was out of this world. I also highly recommend the parotta.

    Awesome home made taste, spicy and fresh. Can't beat it. Very authentic. They could be a bit slow, that's probably because its fresh. I won't complain but the food is 100% like home made and not afraid of the spice!

    We had their South Indian dishes - mini idlis, veggie uttapam and tanjore special dosa. Everything was mouthwateringly tasty! Really good by global standards. Didn't expect to find such a good Indian restaurant in Edinburgh of all places! Pleasant surprise indeed.

    Note for vegans: everything we had was vegan/vegetarian!

    Everything about this place makes me want to go back for another meal. I am originally from South India and found this restaurant during my recent trip to Edinburgh and immediately went in after looking at their menu.

    I had the Mysore Masala Dosa which is, hands down, the best I've had outside of India. I also had filter coffee with my meal which was pretty good as well.

    The best way to judge if I really liked an Indian restaurant abroad is asking myself if I would visit this place if it were in India. I think with Tanjore the answer to that is a resounding yes.

    I was turned down by this place despite mutiple open tables. Not sure what their deal is. Not recommended. Places like The Olive Garden provide the kind of consistent service required of a restaurant.
