Can’t disagree more with most of the other reviews. I have been a regular here for a good few years now and rate it as one of the best Indian restaurants in Edinburgh. Food is always great, value excellent and staff fantastic. I have tried a lot of the other Indian restaurants, highly rated on Unilocal,and found none to be a patch on Voujon.

Reasonably good curry, although not as good as the reviews on the window claim. I agree with the other reviews that it promises more than it really delivers.

Just eaten here as it was local to my b&b. Based on the reviews I figured I couldn’t go wrong. The staff were very attentive without being in your face. The Boti kebab starter was 5 stars, so I eagerly anticipated my main course of chilli garlic chicken. I eat in a lot of indian restaurants and sadly this dish didn’t deliver. It had flavour but a bland appearance. Don’t get me wrong, it was by no means awful but didn’t live up to the standards of the starter. Food and it’s taste are very subjective, judging by how busy the place got I guess I just chose wrong on the night. In summary, enjoyable but not memorable. I’ll give it 3.5 stars but that shows as 4!

I came to Voujon with my flatmates a few months ago and, whilst the service and atmosphere were excellent, the food wasn’t quite up to the same standard as some other Indian restaurants in the area. The décor feels modern, fresh and clean with plenty of neatly laid out tables and really comfortable seats. The staff are attentive, friendly and know everything about the menu which always helps when you have no idea what to expect from a certain dish.
I went for the tandoori chicken kebabs with rice which didn’t take long to arrive, but tasted a litle dry. The salad it was served with was fresh and there were some great flavours going on, yet it was just lacking some sauce.
I’d probably come to Voujon agai, but I just expected a little more from the food.

This place promises a lot; apart from anything else it’s refreshing to find an Indian resturant close to the city centre which isn’t full of rowdy groups lured in by the cheap food and Bring Your Own Bottle policy. Unfortunately, it doesn’t quite deliver everything it promises.
There’s no denying that the décor is beautiful — the solid oak furniture and linen tablecloths certainly give the place an upmarket feel, but when main courses are around £10−15 without any rice or naans you would expect something more from the food than it actually delivers.
That said, they offer a handful of set banquets for two people which work out at roughly £20 per head including starters right through to main courses, although my friends that I ate there with said that theirs was pretty bland and dull.
I wouldn’t go as far as saying it was a bad meal, but I haven’t been in a mad rush to go back to Voujon since my first visit.

I went to the Bengali and Indian restaurant Voujon for the first time a few weeks ago and since then I have been back twice. They serve traditional and authentic Indian dishes which are full of flavour. I have had a few of their curry dishes and my favourite is the King Prawn Bhuna which is very tasty and quite spicy but not too much that it ruins your meal.
The dishes at Voujon are all very well presented and the foo is reasonably priced, with main meals around £9 and there is an extensive veggie menu available as well. They offer several different types of rice and there is plenty of variety of side dishes to accompany your meal. The décor inside is very authentic and modern whilst the staff have always been very attentive and warm. Voujon also do takeaways and is available for private functions.

Voujon prides itself with modern (ish) Indian and Bengali food to the extent where it has positive reviews in its restaurant window from various local papers or diners who has testified.
Dont let these fool you though, Voujon isnt as great as it claims.
The ‘modern’ cooking is uninspiring, and totally lacking the flavours that traditional Indian food would deliver in an instant. This pretty much described the dissapointment we felt for the whole meal — lacking that certain something, the punch as it were. The food generally tasted like something you could buy from a supermarket, but was way more expensive.
However, Voujon has some redeeming features — the restaurant is beautifully modern and elegant — and the staff were helpful.
Overall, Voujon was a dissapointment — and I doubt Voujon will post this review in its window.

My fiancé and I went on valentines day. We’re students and although it was expensive (£40 for two starters, 2 mains, 2 rice and a naan) it was definitely worth it! The plates are cool, and the juice glasses (wine wasn’t in our budget unfortunately). There was a great choice of dishes on the menu — we both found it difficult to decide. Service could not be faulted. Got Ferrero Roche and After Eights with the bill, and a rose, but only because it was Valentines!
Really loved it and would recommend anyone to go!

This is one of the best Indian reastaurants that I have been to. The food was gorgeous, service was pleasant and the price was affordable!

This indian restaurant is absolutely gorgeous. We went there after reading a review of Tam Cowans in the paper, and we are very glad that we did.
The place is very modern, and very nice, they have large tables and also a function suite at the back, it is a very large restaurant, and the service and food is fantastic.
Can’t fault the place at all. There was 8 of us in our group, and nearly all of us got something different, and nobody faulted their meal at all. They also do take away and set meals during the day for a very cheap and reasonable price.
This is highly recommended!!!

Quite average Indian food, if that’s what you’re in the mood for, I’d suggest nipping 5 minutes down the road to the Kings Balti instead.

While the location of Voujon is slightly off the beaten track, I would thoroughly recommend the restaurant to anyone looking for quality Indian cuisine.
The waiters were immensely patient with our large party. Service was excellent, and this was matched by the high quality food and wide range of dishes available. Very good value for money too.
