I have used the Delta since the day it opened and cannot praise it enough. Food is excellent, prices have not gone up much over the years, and staff are friendly and courteous. Sometimes the waiting times are not accurate but let’s face it, things can go wrong. It states it is not a fast food takeaway, the wait in my opinion is well worth it. Nan bread to die for and usually more poppadums than ordered. I must pass around 10 Indian takeaways before I get to the Delta. I have tried most to see what the difference may be, but always go back to the best.

The Delta is amazing. We travel in from Linlithgow regularly as it beats any other Indian takeaway! The food is always cooked to perfection. Yes, at busy periods the wait can be long due to how popular and amazing the Delta is but they always give indicative waiting times when you phone in your order. We phone in order, drive in and collect and drive home and the food is always warm enough to eat. Best takeaway by far!

Cannot fault the Delta, those who have left bad reviews have been incredibly unlucky. The Delta is one of the best takeaways in Edinburgh, wish they would open a restaurant!

all I can say is that if you have to wait 2 hours for a takeaway they must be doing something right. They must be busy for a reason.

I was recommended the Delta by a friend and have ordered from here loads of times! They do tell you when you order how long it will take which is normally around an hour (between 1-2 hours at weekends. It is well worth the wait as i have never had a bad curry, there is plenty of chicken/lamb in the dishes and it is always cooked to perfection!! I would not go anywhere else for a curry and most of my friends and family order from here and i have never heard any complain about the food. Would defo recommend!!

I just ordered a delivery from Delta,
1, They gave us and charged us for extra food we DID NOT ORDER.
2, Half of the food was lukewarm or cold so not very appetising.
3, When I phoned to complain, the manager was very abusive, rude, unhelpful and I later received 2 more phone calls from owners/managers telling me i was a liar and ‘this business has been running 19 yrs with no complaints’ etc, ( they did agree to refund £8 of my £28 bill for the error but overall,

Had the same problem with this takeaway - food is OK but NOT worth the wait of nearly 2 hours.
Not ordering from there again as there are plenty of good Indian takeaways in Edinburgh!
