about us
INSPIRED FROM THE STREETS OF INDIA
Tuk Tuk Indian Street Food was founded in 2012 by director, Rizvi Khaleque.
Our Edinburgh flagship restaurant in Toll-X is known for its colourful interiors, serving small plates of delicious Indian street food. Tuk Tuk is inspired by the food hawkers of India, where we do with a mix of rustic roadside and railway station dishes. Millions of street food vendors make up the colour, sounds and smells of India.
They nourish the appetites of busy office workers, sweaty rickshaw wallahs and hungry school children throughout the day. Our menu pays homage to these roadside culinary geniuses. Our food is the simple earthy, lovingly prepared food of the people and represents the tastes of India today.
With the second restaurant in the southside of Edinburgh, Drummond Street, Tuk Tuk is an award-winning Indian restaurant which has won best Scottish Street Food at the Food Awards.
We pride ourselves on being the pioneer of Indian street food culture and delivering exceptional customer service. Using fresh ingredients and authentic spices we have a selection of delicious dishes for everyone. Our philosophy is all about experiencing and sharing good food.
SCOTTISH LOVE IN ACTION
Scottish Love in Action (SLA) is a charity based in Edinburgh, Scotland that cares for and supports vulnerable children in India. We do this by partnering with and supporting grassroots Indian organisations that care for and educate children. In Hyderabad, India there are 28,000 children living on the streets. One of our projects in Hyderabad, ASRITHA Rainbow Home, rescues street-children who have been living in the most vulnerable of conditions, and helps them into a new life in residential care.
SLA’s funding supports caring for and educating more than 100 girls in a safe environment. Support a girl and everybody wins! Tuk Tuk is delighted to partner with SLA as our chosen charity. Street food is what we do best and we are proud to nourish those who come from where our concept was born. We kindly ask you to donate 50p with your meal to help us support these vulnerable girls. This will provide three meals a day for one of the girls at ASRITHA Rainbow Home. Help our street food help street children.
