Diners can enjoy a variety of options, from the tapas lunch offering, to street food classics and there’s even a late night lounge where you can relax with cocktails.
The most popular items on their menu include the crispy hollow puri served with a filling of masala potatoes and crispy vegetable samosa with a layer of double cream yoghurt, tamarind chutney and fresh pomegranate.
The planning documents show that Solti now want to extend their premises and create a new building in the back garden.
This would increase their capacity by roughly 22 covers, and would enable them to cater for over 120 people in future.
The family-run restaurant is part of the Gautam’s restaurant group and boast of “authentic dishes completely fresh” with a “world of flavours and spices.”
The City of Edinburgh Council are expected to make a decision the planning application in the coming weeks and months.
