Tuk Tuk opens second Edinburgh site

Tuk Tuk Indian Street Food has opened the doors to a second Edinburgh site, located on Drummond Street, in the heart of the city’s Old Town. Known for its lively atmosphere and playful interiors, the new restaurant will offer an authentic selection of small plates inspired by the bold and punchy flavours of popular Indian railway station and roadside dishes.

Drummond Street is the third addition to the already successful Tollcross (Edinburgh) and Sauchiehall Street (Glasgow) restaurants. The 90-cover venue, which features a 35-cover group dining space, is perfect for social dining occasions. With a particular focus on vegetarian and vegan dishes across the menu, hero dishes include: bun samosa, saag tofu and beetroot bhajis, alongside the much-loved signature wallah staff curry, chicken lollipops and puri yoghurt bombs.

Owner, Rizvi Khaleque. comments: "I’m so proud to be opening a third Tuk Tuk. The last few years have been a rollercoaster in the hospitality industry, so this feels like a particularly special achievement. We’re excited to open our doors for customers to enjoy our authentic menu filled with flavour and spice and soak up the lively atmosphere."

The BYOB all-day dining experience will offer authentic lunchtime Tiffin boxes for those on the go between 12pm–4pm, while a sociable sharing-style menu will be available in the evenings from 12pm–10pm.

Tuk Tuk has committed to adding a discretionary fee of 50p per table to all bills which goes directly to their partner charity, Scottish Love in Action (SLA). SLA is a charity that provides meals to vulnerable children in India and so far, the restaurants collectively have raised over £26,000, equating to 119,845 meals.
