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.

What is on the menu at Prahna?

Prahna serves modern Indian cuisine with a Scottish twist. Our à la carte menu opens with Street Grill starters cooked in a charcoal tandoor (Lamb Chop, King Scallop, Monkfish Tikka, Tandoori Partridge, Cheesy Black Pepper Chicken Tikka), moves through Indian Reimagined mains (Malabar Sea Bass, Newhaven Cod, Sizzling Salmon, Lucknow Lamb, Tandoori Crackling Duck, Raan a Prahna, Lobster), and a section of Proud Curries (Chicken Korma, Butter Chicken, Lamb Rogan Josh, Madras, Saag, Punjabi Chana, Sag Aloo).

Lunch menus run weekday afternoons. A separate Breakfast menu serves Friday, Saturday, and Sunday with cooked breakfasts, Prahnaan rolls, and Indian-tinged additions like Bombay scrambled eggs and sweet stack pancakes. Drinks include a wine list with prosecco, regional reds and whites, signature cocktails, and a tea list led by our Cutting Masala Chai.

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.
