The Best Indian Restaurants in Scotland

From long-standing city favourites to newer kitchens cooking regional food you won't find anywhere else, Scotland's Indian restaurants have never been better. These are the ones worth booking ahead for.

Curated and written by Hidden Scotland

Updated 22 September 2026.

Scotland's Indian restaurants have never been better. Alongside the long-standing city favourites there are newer kitchens cooking regional food you won't find anywhere else in the country, from Bombay street food to Nepalese home cooking. It's a long way from the standard curry house, and all the better for it.

We've picked out our favourites across Scotland. These are the Indian restaurants worth booking ahead for, and on a weekend you'll want to.
