Celestia

Celestia brings a luxurious take on Indian cuisine to New Town, Edinburgh, where tradition meets innovation with effortless grace.

Founded by a restaurateur steeped in Edinburgh’s dining scene, Celestia tells a story in courses, blending subcontinental recipes with modern technique and warm Scottish hospitality. Its opulent setting suits both date nights and celebrations, where every detail complements the food for an experience as refined as the cuisine.

The result is a kitchen that honours heritage while embracing the best of locally sourced produce.

Flavours drift from coast to tandoor. Crisp leaf and tang sing through palak patta chaat, while comfort gathers in the velvet of butter chicken and the quiet nuance of chicken korma. The deeper thrum of lamb shines in the aromatic lamb rogan josh and the fiery ember lamb vindaloo. Vegetarians are indulged with paneer butter masala and reimagined palak-paneer, each crafted with finesse.

Reserve a table and follow the constellation of spice and craft, letting the evening glow and the stars write the next chapter in Celestia’s tale of India in Edinburgh.
