Welcome to The Pakora Bar, a vibrant and bustling street-food spot that transports you straight to the lively streets of Punjab.

Step through its doors in Holyrood, and discover the bold, delicious flavours of traditional Punjabi street food. Run by three brothers passionate about authenticity, The Pakora Bar serves up vibrant dishes in a setting that’s as colourful and lively as the cuisine itself.

The décor features eye-catching signage that lights up the room and warmly welcomes you into the venue. A unique highlight is the “Pakora Garden” mezzanine. It's the perfect place to sit back, relax and enjoy fresh Punjabi food. It’s ideal for people-watching as you sip on a cocktail and tuck into dishes that promise to take your taste buds on a journey with every bite.

Choose from street food classics such as the chicken kati roll, served on a buttery garlic naan, or go for shareable favourites like mixed vegetable, paneer, or even haggis pakoras. Experience the punchy, carefully curated spice blends, whether you're trying one of their famous curries, like butter chicken or palak paneer, or opting for a sample platter if you’re not sure where to begin.

Round off your meal with a sweet treat like gulab jamun or ice malai. The food, drink, and vibes are all unapologetically Punjabi here at The Pakora Bar, so don’t hang about, grab a table!
