A lively South Indian spot in Leith with strong dosa, biryani, and Tamil-style cooking; it looks worth a trip if you want authentic flavors, but service, consistency, and the occasional takeaway/order mix-up keep it from being a slam-dunk.
Chola Highlands delivers exceptional food quality anchored by boldly seasoned dosas, biryanis, and curries that earn consistent praise, paired with attentive and knowledgeable service. Occasional inconsistencies in delivery and takeaway execution, along with a functional rather than distinctive setting, keep it just short of the very top tier.
One caveat: A minority of diners report slow service or long waits, even on quieter shifts.
