Altaf Khan is a great little Indian restaurant found in the old Scottish town of Tranent in East Lothian. Serving an authentic menu of Indian cuisine which includes both the classic Indian restaurant dishes as well as a variety of specials from the various regions of India, Altaf Khan is a good choice for any fan of spice. Situated just a few miles from the A1 and only eleven miles from Edinburgh, Tranent is a convenient location for visitors to the area.
The Altaf Khan menu is a real treat for any fan of Indian cuisine, covering all of the basic dishes that the good British public have come to know and love such as chicken tikka masala, vindaloo and biriyani, all served with a wide choice of Indian breads and rice such as naan and pilau. There are also some great house specials which focus more on the regional cuisines of India, a huge country in size, population and culinary areas. Tuck into a dish of tender barbecued lamb cooked with fresh ginger, coriander leaves and tomatoes or perhaps a tasty and rather spicy chicken halchal with green chillies, cardamom, lemon and tomato. Seafood lovers will be impressed with the Karachi king prawn cooked with a variety of spices, potatoes and fresh tomatoes.
Altaf Khan is a great little local restaurant with a traditional Indian décor. Simple and understated, it is popular amongst the local community for its superb food, all cooked using the freshest ingredients and served with a smile.
