Temptation Indian Kitchen brings a full Indian restaurant menu to Musselburgh Rise, with a dining room for an evening meal and convenient pickup or delivery when eating at home suits better. Dinner runs throughout the week, while selected weekdays also include a lunch sitting. The combination of dine-in service, bookings and a broad menu makes it more than a quick curry counter.

The meal can begin with crisp vegetable pakora, onion bhaji or samosa, including a chaat version layered with tamarind and mint chutneys. The clay oven gives the non-vegetarian starters a different character: tandoori chicken is marinated with yoghurt and house-pounded garam masala, chicken tikka adds ginger, garlic and lime, and the gentler malai tikka uses cream and cheese. Garlic chicken tikka offers a more aromatic variation on the same charcoal-cooked idea.

Curries range from familiar, mild comfort dishes to recipes with sharper regional signatures. Butter chicken combines tandoor-cooked meat with creamy tomato gravy, while saagwala is built around spinach and kadai chicken brings capsicum into an onion-and-tomato sauce. Lamb rogan josh draws on the Kashmiri wazwan tradition, korma uses cashew, saffron and cardamom, and Madras turns to coconut milk, mustard seeds and curry leaves.

Seafood provides another route through the menu, particularly Goan curries pairing scallops with fish or prawns in ginger, palm sugar and coconut. Vegetarian mains, several biryanis and a dedicated naan selection allow a table to build a varied spread rather than settle on one curry each. Accompaniments and desserts round out the format, making Temptation Indian Kitchen workable for both a simple dinner and a shared meal across several dishes.
