Iman's

First things first, the atmosphere was pretty much ruined by the presence of several large television screens showing a foreign language sports channel at annoying volume. The screens seemed to be for the benefit of the staff, as they were the only people watching them.

The service was mediocre at best - the staff were friendly enough, certainly, but they were simply not attentive enough. It seemed to take an eternity for our food to arrive, and the staff were clearly more concerned with flirting with a large, gruesome hen party [the noise from which was vying with the televisions as an appetite suppressant].

The menu raised a few eyebrows, not least the offering of a dish called "Tikka Madras Korma" - sounds like something a first year student would cook up from various jars of sauces, and the rest of the fare seemed bog standard.

Our dishes, when they arrived, were plentiful yet tepid; the flavours were particularly strong and rich - that's the only positive thing I can find to say about them.

We couldn't wait to get out, not least to escape the cackling and hysteria of the hen party, and Asian TV's equivalent of Sky Sports News.

If you place importance on the dining experience, then I definitely wouldn't recommend Iman's to you.

Do not eat here if you want to pay £1.50 for each pompodom! We were tricked as it was not made clear that they charged per pompodom and not by a serving (which every other resturant does about 3 pompodoms for this price). We were horrified when the pompodoms cost more than our mains!!! The fact that they kept on bringing them out and we did not order them, for this price they should be asking first.
Poor service,they did not ask to if we wanted any drinks etc, did not check on how we were enjoying the food and they were annoyed when we asked them to give us a couple of minutes while we decided what we wanted to eat.
Food was nice however based on everything else I would not go back nor would I recommend this resturant to anyone!! I guess a resturant really shows alot when it is empty inside (should of look at the first signs).

Been here a few times before taking in a show at the Kings. Visited wth the family early tonight. Food was yummy, sadly the service was very poor. Uninterested, bored looking young men. I don't think we'll bother going again.

Good value, good service and above all really good food. Excellent value for money and the food is good too !

First visit to Imans recently. Loved the food, the atmosphere, the waiters. Definately a repeat visit on the cards in the near future. The friendliness of the place was the highlight of the evening.

Excellent food - tasty. Good selection for veggies. Good prices. Free corkage on BYOB. Service could be a bit faster but not bad.

i come all the way from west lothian to imans a few times a month. not a complaint to be made, food is great, try the dessert gulab jamon with ice cream, creme de la creme, staff are very pleasent, imans will go a long way.

We went to imans for birthday party and food was one of the best i had in Edinburgh service was good and we were well looked after.
BYOB without corkage charge went down well. There were 25 of us and we all had good time. not a bad thing to say about anything. all i can say good food and good service.

I am amazed at there not being an abundance of favourable reports on Imans. My Wife, family and many friends have been regular visitors to Imans since it opened in November and have never had cause for complaint. The food is authentic and superb, service is great and the atmosphere pleasantly open. BYOB without corkage is an added bonus and all the food, including "House specials" excellant value. In my opinion Imans is going to be a leading light on the Edinburgh Punjab eating scene.

(+) Cheap and cheerful, BYO, great service, amazing naan bread, would be happy to recommend if you're in the area.
(-) Toilets are freezing, big screen tv very distracting and out of place
