Itihaas: Reviews & Ratings
Fantastic food and the staff are always great. The best thing about this place is the consistency at which they do this. We genuinely have never had a bad or below par meal (or experience) and therefore cannot recommend Itihass highly enough!
Lovely delicious food friendly efficient staff best food I’ve ate in dalkeith !!
With high expectations, this was one of the very best east Indian meals we have had over 55 years. Every aspect of our meal as a group of four was excellent, food, service decor. Portions were generous. Saeed, our waiter, was top rate (well done, Sid). All food was served on nicely warmed plates. Don't miss this gem.
Lovely meal, service was great, fast and very friendly would highly recommend
I still can't believe this restaurant was open on Xmas. Despite being very busy they have squeezed me in and delivered both great food and service. Thumbs up for Muskan who kept checking on me. Dipu was also very attentive. Every single staff member was incredible. Highly recommend it. They made my Xmas !
Nice place, nice food and very good service Must come back very soon
We are visiting the area for the first time and Itihaas was suggested to us by another guest at our hotel. The food was exceptional as was the service. Staff was very attentive, helpful and very friendly. Highly recommend!
My sister and brother-in-law were visiting from Liverpool and we treated them to dinner at our favourite restaurant- they agreed with us that the food was delicious and the staff were very attentive! We had a very relaxed, enjoyable evening. Thank you!
