Overall score: ★★★★☆
Tuk Tuk is an authentic Indian restaurant in Edinburgh’s Bruntsfield area. The structure of the menu is based around tapas-style communal dining, so you order around 3-4 dishes per person and (in theory!) share with the rest with your dining party. Their tasty food and reasonable prices mean that Tuk Tuk is a firm favourite with Edinburgh locals.
This lovely wee eatery has lots of vegan options available, although it could be a little clearer on the menu. Having said that, Tuk Tuk are really good at disclosing allergens in their dishes (e.g. dairy, gluten) so basically go for the options that are marked vegetarian (V) and not dairy (D) and you should be golden. Of course, be sure to run it past your server before you order to avoid any nasty surprises.
Vegan dishes available at Tuk Tuk Edinburgh
There aren’t any vegan desserts at Tuk Tuk yet, but hopefully that will change soon (hint, hint, guys)! Drinks wise, there are lots of soft drinks and virgin cocktails (see the gorgeous mint mambo above!) but if you want to drink booze you will need to bring it yourself – which is good for saving on the drinks bill side of things.
With a range of vegan, vegetarian and omni dishes, there should be something at this Indian favourite to please everyone’s tastebuds.

Just a note. On their webbsite they state that they only serve halal-meat. Personally I could never support that.
