After being recommended by a friend to do so, my wife and I visited the Bonoful restaurant in Portobello last night. We were very glad that we did as the service was impeccable from start to finish, including personal recommendations on what dishes to eat from the Restaurant Manager. We were glad of the help in choosing, as my wife and I both agreed that the food was without doubt among the best Indian / Bangladeshi Cuisine that we have ever sampled. Fresh tasting sauces, and melt in the mouth meat, all topped off with amazing flavour. They also have a great drinks and wine selection. We will definitely be back, and would urge anyone else to visit too, so that they can taste the amazing food that the Bonoful has to offer.
Portobello's Best. A quiet Indian restaurant which serves good down to earth food with no frills. It is affordable pricing and even has a nice lunch time menu.
By far THE BEST Indian and Bangladeshi in Edinburgh. I am yet to try another restaurant that will come close! Staff have always been friendly and the Thali is amazing value for money (me and the OH will get this every other month!). A definite visit for foodies!
It's getting 4.5, I would have given it a big ol' 5, but I would like there to be a but more atmosphere in the restaurant (and that's me nitpicking).
My husband and I had a lovely evening here. The food we had was just fresh and delicious. It was Monday evening so restaurant pretty empty. We had lovely Chilean Sauvignon Blanc which went perfectly with what we ordered. It was great evening so please come here and enjoy authentic Indian cuisine. We need to support our local restaurants especially after Covid. Thank you very much to Said and Mittal (hopefully spelt correctly! Sorry I've not). Meg and Drew x
Lovely meal could not fault the food and very nice waiters
First time ordering from here tonight and food was amazing been looking for a while to find a good Indian restaurant will definitely be ordering again highly recommend
Fantastic food and service. One of the best curries I have had in a number of years.
Amazing food full of flavour. Naan bread was fresh out of the over and had a lovely crisp to it. Best curry I've had in a long time. Our waiter was Ro (?sp), and he was also fantastic.
Excellent curry house. Delicious fresh tasty meals, especially the Lamb Garam Fry, very generous with spinach on the Chicken Saag and food prepared in good time.
Ordered meals for home delivery for guests (a group of 5). Website is a bit difficult to use as the page keeps refreshing. However, it promised a delivery at certain time and it arrived dot at that time. Meals were packed good, food was still hot, it tasted very nice. Good portion size. We enjoyed the meal at home.
Outstanding meal - really full of flavour and excellently prepared. Highly recommend the King Prawn Balti.
Will definitely be coming here again.
Very clean and attentive service. Toilets were pristine! Invited to use hand sanitiser on arrival, which is an indicator of how seriously they take hygiene.
My mum has been telling to try the Bonoful for awhile but i don't go to portobello that often & i think am to far for delivery 😕
Anyway last week i was in portobello with a friend & i thought i can't leave with out trying Bonoful, i didn't realise the time & when i got there the door was open but it was only 3:50 i asked if i could please get a takeaway & the guy went through the back to ask if it was ok he came back with a yes 😁
I got a 2 main meals 2 rice 3 breads & a couple of sides it came to just over £50 i thought it was going to be more & the food was honestly delicious full of flavour & the meat just melted in your mouth, i asked my friend what she thought of her meal & she said absolutely gorgeous worth a 5 ☆
Great service, lovely staff & excellent food = 5 ☆
thank you from 2 happy customers.
Our local Indian restaurant and some of the best curry I’ve eaten ! Try the silsiley sauce

Very welcoming: attentive service; food very tasty. Four of us. The dishes that really stood out for us were Murgh Chatt and Tandoori Mixed Grill (huge helping!) but other dishes were good. After these we were too full for dessert. Salty Lassi was excellent. A very pleasant evening. We'll happily return.
Ceiling fans were annoying made 1 of us cold. Onion barges not as nice as in Sheffield and had to pay extra for pickle tray no onion salad as we know it and the raita was like sago pudding
Give me our home restaurant anyway
Disappointing as it was a birthday celebration .
Expensive too half as dear again as we usually pay. Didn't mind paying if it was better as it's expected in London and Edinburgh etc
Fantastic, really tasty curries. We had 3 curries between us and all 3 were excellent. Service was good. Will be going back.
Exceptional food and service. Best food we've had traveling this visit to Scotland.
Wish we could take this place back to the States with us! Very tasty food (with lots of fresh herbs and just the right amount of spice), very fair prices, and very friendly staff. Highly recommend.
Nice food
Very authentic
You can take your own drink but they will charge corkage
Be warned
We had 10 in our party. Great food with a super selection of dishes. Very nice decor.
