Indian, reimagined.
Hand-grilled tandoor classics, Scottish seafood and game, and afternoon chai brewed long. Tucked away in Corstorphine, west Edinburgh.
Prahna is the animating force that breath carries. The thing that turns air into life. And this is exactly what we try to do with food.
Welcome to Prahna.
We cook Indian food the way we were taught, with ingredients the Scottish seasons decide for us.
