Award-Winning Edinburgh Restaurant Moves Home

Award-winning restaurant Roti will triple in size at a new location on Morrison Street, just off Edinburgh city centre's Lothian Road from Saturday 28th July. Independently owned by award-winning chef Tony Singh, Roti is the sister restaurant of the highly acclaimed Oloroso.

The outstanding 4,000 square-foot premises will house the new, 100-cover restaurant and 40-person capacity wine bar, thus tripling the size of Roti from its existing 40 covers.

Currently tucked away in Rose Street North Lane, Roti has, since it opened to critical acclaim almost two years ago, built up a solid reputation for setting precedence in Indian cuisine. Serving the best Scottish meat, game and fish produce, freshly prepared using innovative Indian recipes and contemporary presentation, Roti sets itself apart from any other Indian menu offering in the city.

The new Roti will also introduce the casual eating ‘tiffin’ concept to Edinburgh, in addition to an a la carte restaurant. These tapas-style tasting menus will have the same ethos of quality-led ingredients with a home-cooked style using secret family recipes, but will be packaged in contemporary tiffin boxes, adding a twist to the traditional tiffin boxes that are used all over India.

Existing Roti Head Chef Anand Sehgal will run the kitchen and will be joined by Oloroso's sous chef, Peter Duck, with founder and chef-patron Tony Singh at the helm, ensuring the quality that has awarded Roti with The List magazine's Best Newcomer Award as well earning it a spot on Olive magazine's Top 10 UK restaurants, remains.

"The relocation and expansion of Roti is a landmark in our business growth strategy,' commented Tony. ”The existing site was perfect when Roti was born, but now it has established itself as one of Edinburgh's finest restaurants, it's time to move onwards and upwards. Whilst Roti currently offers a quiet, oasis-like location, in order for us to meet the consistently high demand, we're relocating to a more prominent, visible location.

”The existing, much-acclaimed a la carte menu will remain, but will be enhanced with the addition of tiffin and gourmet tasting menus.”

Roti will open at 73 Morrison Street on the 28th July.
