Top Tags:

At Tantra we want to change peoples perceptions of Indian cuisine. Our food will provide a multi-sensory experience involving appearance, texture, flavours, aroma all of equal importance.

We aim to take traditional Indian cuisine into another dimension - by taking inspirations from from renowned international cuisines and using modern techniques such as molecular gastronomy and deconstruction of dishes. We ensure that the soul of the food is Indian in flavour - but the execution and presentation will be mystical and magical in every aspect, just like the name "Tantra".

The only thing I would like to empathise on is service and I would say nothing wrong with the staff , understaff which was making us wait if we needed to request for something. Food as well was taking too long to come as well.

Food was nice. Very overpriced as nothing seemed any better than just any other standard Indian restaurant. Certainly nothing about this place made me want to rush back, but some decent food none the less. £11 for a glass of wine though, you can buy two bottles out of Tesco on the way home for the same money :-)

When we first came here it had a different feel to it. Fancy Indian fusion. Unfortunately it's sad to have seen Tantra go downhill. Service is extremely poor in every way. Staff don't know the menu. There is no service with a smile or politeness which certain members seem to completely lack. All this unfortunately let's the food down. Tantra have also change the menu since our last few times, which I can understand in restaurants, but this has taken away the elegance and the feeling of being somewhere special that it used to have. Service staff definitely needs looked into and because of this main reason, unfortunately we won't be back. :(

The food was so different and tasted amazing, definitely not your average Indian cuisine. The staff were charming. Our Waitress was very patient and went out of her way for us, nothing was too much trouble. We really enjoyed the experience and would have returned but unfortunately are visit to Edinburgh had come to an end. Thank you so much Tantra for a excellent evening and amazing food.

Small menu compared to other Indian restaurants but food was fresh and alot of attention to detail. Server's were a bit slow to offer drinks/water top ups etc but it didn't affect our meal. Would definitely recommend and go again.
