Solid option

I have been wanting to visit this place for a while. Previously, I got takeout from the Gorgie branch, which was a bit lackluster but still acceptable.

As always, dining in left a much better impression. The vegan options were clearly marked, making it easy to choose. I started with a popadom to whet my appetite, followed by the Soya Naadan Curry with rice and chapatis. It seemed like an unusual choice, but I hadn't had it in such a long time.

Everything was fantastic. The dish was packed with soy and featured a rich coconut gravy, accented by fried curry leaves and dried Kashmir chilies. While it wasn't initially spicy, the depth of flavor developed with each bite.

Overall, it's a great option in the southside.

Very nice curry - but a little on the hot side for some!

Chennai's Marina is a lovely wee restaurant in Newington. Vegan options are clearly marked for the starters and mains, but we needed to ask for guidance on the rice and breads.

I had the Gobi 65 which was an absolutely delicious starter of deep-fried cauliflower. My kedalai curry main was also super tasty. I particularly liked the chapattis, which were quite authentic and a good size.

I can take a bit of spice, so the heat level was perfect for me. However some of my fellow diners found some of the dishes a bit hot. Keep an eye out for the soya ularthu starter - which was marked on the menu as 'one chilli' hot, but was probably more like two to three chilli's worth!

Otherwise, it was a really great meal and I will definitely be back.
