Sabzi, Leith
17 people recommend, 2 warn against itvia r/Edinburgh21 comments cited below
What people say, in short
Many recommend Sabzi, and three diners praise the food, one saying the parsnip pakora was the best parsnips they have eaten. Two commenters place it in Newhaven or on Ferry Road, so check the address, and two others say the menu changes, so dishes may differ. Two diners warn against it: one feels it has become too upmarket and advises avoiding it, while another finds the rajma pulao too small and calls it overrated. Two more were mixed, with one unimpressed by the food and finding the setting not ideal for a special occasion, and another who liked it but wanted a more traditional takeaway feel.
