Cilantro
Named Best Bangladeshi in Scotland, on a roster that gave Best Indian to Ignite.1
Why go
The Asian Restaurant Awards' 2023 Scotland edition was held at the Sheraton Grand in Edinburgh, and CLH News's report of the winners records other awards going to the capital's Cilantro for Best Bangladeshi
.1 That is the entire published record on this kitchen, and the useful part of it is the category: Bangladeshi, named as such, in a country where that cooking usually goes on the sign as Indian. Nobody has reviewed the food. The hygiene register puts it at 4 Albert Place off the foot of Leith Walk, with a Pass from November 2025, and classes it as a takeaway rather than a dining room.2
Good to know
- Address: 4 Albert Place EH7 5HN, on the Leith Walk side of Elm Row.2
- Format: the hygiene register files it as a takeaway, so plan on carrying it out.2
- Price: nothing published.
- Hygiene: Food Hygiene Information Scheme Pass, inspected 18 November 2025, FHRSID 1155100. Nine months old.2
Verdict
could-visit — Named Best Bangladeshi in the Asian Restaurant Awards' 2023 Scotland edition, at a ceremony in Edinburgh, on a roster whose Best Indian that year went to Ignite. That is a category win from a trade body this repo accepts, and it is the whole of the published record. The specificity matters: this is filed as Bangladeshi rather than as generic curry-house Indian, in a city where that distinction is rarely made on a sign. The register files it as a takeaway, so plan on carrying it home. Could-visit, and it would move if anyone with a byline ever wrote about the food.
