KUSHIS RESTAURANT EDINBURGH SCOTLAND SINCE 1947

In 1935, a young man from Jalandhar reached British shores. All he had were the clothes on his back. He didn’t speak a word of English, let alone read or write. But he dreamed of owning a restaurant. So he became a door-to-door salesman. Obviously.

It took years of hard graft and penny pinching, but Khushi finally opened his first restaurant in 1947, on Potterow – and called it the Lothian Restaurant, imaginatively.

 Being next to the university, it was ideally placed for all the homesick Indian students a wee taste of home. As the Indian community in Edinburgh grew, so did the restaurant’s popularity – and soon all sorts of the city’s residents were popping in for their dinner.
