Namaste, and a hearty welcome to Gautam's. We are a family restaurant with over 30 years in the food industry with both of our chefs starting their careers from small restaurants in Kathmandu, Nepal. There, they began their education into food, learning from every day street vendors to top chefs at 5-star hotels before making their migration to India to gain further experience. Their time in Delhi was a milestone on their journey to Dubai where they were exposed to a more diverse customer base serving professionals from all over the world as well as tourists from the west. Here the two chefs separated and made their journey to Ireland and Scotland separately and ultimately met here in Edinburgh. That is their story, but now let us take you on a journey of food right here at Gautam's as we explore and seek out new flavours and re-discover old ones.
