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.

Liverpool
All enthusiastic entrepreneurs with a passion for wine and food! It's nice to give as a gift and it's really fun. The service at 1 restaurant was not quite great, so that was a bit of a shame, but the other 5 were perfect.
Liverpool
My partner and I booked on to the Castle street restaurant tour in Liverpool and it was possibly our favourite date we have ever been on! It was well organised, good value for money and a great opportunity to try new restaurants around our city which we have since visited regularly. I would definitely like to try one of the other tours.
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
Glasgow
The food and wine selections were top-notch. I loved discovering the city's culinary scene one bite at a time. Can't wait to return
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!

Birmingham
Really really well organized and some fantastic places to visit. The difference between the best and worst place on the tour was quite vast, but 5 of our 6 stops were incredible and the variety actually made it more interesting and enjoyable. Would definitely recommend!
Nottingham
Concept is brilliant, allowing participants to visit 6 restaurants in the city. My friend and I attended and thoroughly enjoyed our home town Nottingham. The food was plentiful accompanied by a drink at each restaurant. Good value for money - recommend this to couples, families and friends. Make that special occasion more memorable. Our visit included Vi-Va, Delilah, Peter Pizzeria, Coco Tangs, Baresca and Bohens (in that order).

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!
