Shri Bheema's – a new Indian restaurant changing dining for people ...

So it was interesting that I was invited out to dine at a new Indian restaurant in Edinburgh that is going the extra mile to help people with food allergies and intolerances to make an informed choice.

The restaurant, on an early Friday evening, was busy with a varied clientele, including a high proportion of Indian families of all ages enjoying the food; always a good sign.

Shri Beema’s serves South and North Indian food and whilst you will find a korma on here, I’d challenge you to further explore some of the delicacies on offer or ask Raj for his advice.

What’s excellent is that the menu explains the common food allergies and then lists each choice with the appropriate key, giving people with food intolerances an informed option.

The Maduri Lamb Suka, tender pieces of lamb marinated and simmered with South Indian spices, seasoned with onion, pepper, and garnished with a hint of coconut and fresh curry leaves was delicious and fragrant as was the Kodi Vepuda, which is finely seasoned chicken, cooked with onion, special Andhra spices and pan fried with garlic, black pepper and curry leaves.

Restaurant: Joanna Blythman reviews Shri Bheema's , Edinburgh ...

Apparently Shri Bheema’s is owned and managed by “a close-knit family team” that works to present “the most authentic, pure and delicious South and North Indian food at competitive prices”.

I think we can say that Shri Bheema’s is not a business riven with self-doubt, more like one itching with ambition to stud that map with many more red icons to form a restaurant empire.

Scanning the online menu it was pretty obvious that Shri Bheema’s wasn’t going to be taking us down untrodden paths of culinary authenticity, but the online menu did, at least, list a few road-less-travelled Southern Indian dishes that dangled the hope of a restaurant worth visiting.

Yet I can’t stop that sense of disappointment, or ignore the mounting suspicion that Shri Bheema’s website reflects someone’s dream of a restaurant story, rather than the reality of the dining experience.

Vegetable kofta are islands of mushy oiliness in a thick yellow sauce; kothu parotta forms a daunting tower of oily chopped bread that tastes as if doused in liquidised onions; lamb in the Chettinad curry is worryingly jellied; aubergine is impregnated with more of the wretched, smelly cooking oil.

Another arrow in Shri Bheema’s quiver, Shri Bheema’s – Edinburgh is a cosy addition to the contemporary Indian chain.

Much like its sister restaurants in Aberdeen, Shri Bheema’s has been recognised by such renowned awards as the British Curry Awards and the Asian Curry Awards so diners can dine with confidence that their dishes are of the finest quality.

Start the meal with style by indulging with one of the exemplary appetisers, such as the rich achari king prawn tikka, marinated with a ginger and garlic infused yogurt, the scrumptious onion & spinach pakora, fried until golden with gram flour, and the eclectic Shri Bheema’s Signature Platter, a medley of assorted tandoori cooked delights.

A mere handful of these marvels include the tantalising Bengali Jinga Jhol, king prawns cooked with potatoes and cauliflower in a Kolkata style sauce, the delectable Veg Kofta, an ensemble of dumplings created with paneer cheese, fenugreek and grated potatoes in a cashew nut sauce, and the succulent Lababdmurgh Lababdar, a grilled chicken breast served with Pilau rice in a mixed pepper, cream and ginger rich sauce.

Quiet and quaint, Shri Bheema’s – Edinburgh makes for a delightful spot to visit for casual occasions with friends and family.

One of two Shri Bheema restaurants in Edinburgh, the Old Town branch is on Nicolson Street opposite the Festival Theatre.

Split into several sections such as street food starters and regional veg, the a la carte menu at Shri Bheema is extensive.
