"Korma Blimey"
Tracey MacLeod - The Independent, August 2008
The menu offers meat and fish dishes, and the inevitable crowd-pleasing tikkas and tandooris, but it's the South Indian specials that stand out.
If it were a Fringe show, Mezbaan would be a sensation, with queues the block. As is, it hasn't quite found its audience yet. So if you're in the area, go. And tell them that a friend of a friend sent you.

"Luxury at low prices"
Joanna Blythman - Sunday Herald 2006
"Mezbaan still looks uncannily like the well-appointed, stylish Shamiana, right down to its smart black and white tiled floor. It retains the same warm, welcoming, rather luxurious atmosphere. The front of house is beautifully run. Then there was a textbook masala dosa, the large southern Indian pancake made with ground rice and white lentils, which was nutty, crisp and full of flavour, stuffed with a dry potato and vegetable mixture......Vegetarians will eat well here. I can’t understand why I haven’t heard about Mezbaan sooner, but intend to make up for lost time."

"Perfect host for a chilli evening"
Emma McGarvie - Edinburgh Evening News 2005
"The masala dosa was excellent - star dish as far as I was concerned - the onion dosa a close second and the accompanying sambar and chutney were excellent too"

A South Indian restaurant and a rare treat because it serves Indian "street food" dishes such as dosas. There also can't be very many restaurants in the world serving (vegetarian) haggis pakoras. And tasty they are too.
