Things diners often ask.
A list of the questions we hear most. If your question isn't here, call us on 0131 563 4748 or write to info@pranaindiangrill.co.uk.
Booking
How do I book a table at Prahna?
You can book a table at Prahna online through SevenRooms, or by phone on 0131 563 4748. The “Book a Table” button on every page of this site opens our SevenRooms reservation page in a new tab. We accept reservations for parties of two through twelve directly online, with larger groups and private dining handled by phone or email.
Walk-ins are welcome. We hold a portion of the dining room back from online bookings each service to keep room for diners passing by.
Menu
Does Prahna have vegetarian options?
Yes. Roughly half of our menu is vegetarian, and most dishes can be prepared vegan on request. Our Baby Aubergine, Paneer Tikka, Spinach and Apricot Tikki, Yam ke Kebab, and the Punjabi Chana, Sag Aloo, and Daal Makhani are all diner favourites. The Vegetarian Biryani is built around the same saffron-perfumed dum cooking method as our chicken and lamb biryanis, with seasonal vegetables in place of meat.
Gluten-free options are clearly marked on every menu. Speak to your server about any specific allergens and we will guide you accordingly.
Does Prahna do takeaway?
Yes. Most dishes from our à la carte and lunch menus are available as takeaway. Order by phone on 0131 563 4748 and we will have your meal packed and ready to collect at the time you choose.
A short list of dishes that travel less well, including some of the tandoori plates that rely on the heat of the moment, are kept dine-in only.
Does Prahna offer Sunday lunch?
Yes. Our Sunday lunch service runs from noon to 9pm, taking the same à la carte menu and adding a Sunday-only roast option built around tandoor-marinated lamb or chicken with masala-laced potatoes and seasonal vegetables. Children eat half-price on Sundays.
What is afternoon chai at Prahna?
Afternoon chai is the Indian answer to the British tradition of afternoon tea. It pairs a pot of our Cutting Masala Chai (cardamom, ginger, black pepper, fresh milk, brewed long) with a tiered spread of savoury pastries and sweet treats: paneer tikka rolls, methi mathri, kulfi tartlets, jalebi shards, and seasonal mithai.
Available Friday through Sunday between 3pm and 5pm. Booking recommended. The chai pot pours four cups.
