Located on the historic, bustling Rose Street in the heart of Edinburgh's city centre, Tamil Teru brings the bold, sun-drenched energy of South Indian street food culture to Scotland. Its name directly reflects its identity, Tamil honoring the language of Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka, and Teru translating to "street", seamlessly capturing the spirit of a vibrant coastal restopub. The interior beautifully weaves together two worlds. A sprawling, bright mural lines the staircase, playfully mixing Scottish icons like Greyfriars Bobby and Tunnock's Tea Cakes with the silhouette of the Meenakshi Amman Temple in Madurai. The layout transitions from a lively ground-floor street-dining space to a cozy, green-hued private dining room upstairs, creating a venue that feels both modern and deeply rooted in tradition. The vibe is exceptionally warm, friendly, and unhurried, channeling the Omotenashi-like hospitality of southern India where meals are shared generously. Rather than generic curries, the focus is entirely on coastal South Indian street food meant for casual, communal grazing. Guests can tear into crisp dosas and flaky parottas, or sample punchy, scratch-made small plates infused with fresh pandan and curry leaves. Complete with a vibrant bar serving Indian draft beers and signature botanical cocktails like the Saffron Old Fashioned, it is a soulful city sanctuary built for celebration and conversation.

Bristol
I didn't really know what to expect as there were not many reviews out there when I booked but it was great fun. I visited parts of Bristol and restaurants that were previously unknown to me. The venues were great, as was the food. We felt very welcome and great effort had been made to provide us with interesting and tasty food and drink. Food was so plentiful that we took the last meal home in a doggie bag because we were stuffed and didn't want to waste it
Bristol
It was a lovely day and whilst we were a little apprehensive of 6 restaurants in 6 hours we managed it very comfortably. The establishments were all in close proximity for walking - the longest being 5/6 minute walk. All the food was well presented and very tasty and the wine/drinks pairing worked well. Every establishment had lovely welcoming staff. We have visited more than 3 of the extablishments since then.
Customer
Really nice to visit the restaurants under our own steam and not be bearded around in groups. Variety of restaurants excellent and felt welcome at everyone we visited. Would definitely recommend The Restaurant Tour.
Shrewsbury
I’d never done the tour before and I’m so glad I finally did! It was such a fun and delicious way to spend the day. I loved trying new dishes and exploring different types of cuisine — each of the six venues offered something unique, and every stop came with a perfectly paired drink, which added to the experience. Being in Shrewsbury made it even better. The time to walk between venues gave us a chance to chat, enjoy the surroundings, and really savour the day. It felt relaxed, friendly, and full of flavour. Overall, it was a lovely day — fun, tasty, and a great way to discover new spots. Highly recommended for any foodie looking for a good time!
Liverpool
Great food, wine and service at all restaurants, not rushed. One of the greatest pleasures to eat, drink and converse with a good friend .

I wasn’t sure what to expect but I loved every minute of the afternoon. The varied choice of restaurants was great and all of them went out there way to make it a great experience.
Manchester
We had a great day. Every restaurant was very friendly and very well organised. Just trying a sample of their delicious meals is enough to make us want to visit them again. The variety in the dishes was brilliant, from Indian tapas, sliders, Spanish, Vietnamese, pizza and cheese & crackers, we had it all, together with the lovely drink accompaniments. Would highly recommend to anyone, great value for money.

Glasgow
My husband and I went in the Glasgow Merchant City Restaurant Tour. At each restaurant the food was wonderful and we got drink for each course too. We could tour as quickly or as slowly as we wanted and we had plenty of time to visit all restaurants. We definitely plan to go on another tour and will know it is so good to buy as a gift! I have recommended this tour to friends and colleagues who have also taken the opportunity to go on a food tour!
