Everest Inn

Hospital Hill's got a reputation for good food, and Everest Inn absolutely holds its own. You'll walk in to warm spices and the kind of busy atmosphere that tells you locals know what's up—it's genuinely popular, not trying too hard. The menu runs the full gamut from reliable tikka masalas to proper biryani, and they clearly know their way around a tandoor. The sort of place where you can take your mum for her birthday or swing by midweek with mates without anyone batting an eyelid. Fair prices too, which doesn't hurt when you're feeding a group round Dunfermline.
