A family business
As you’d expect, much has changed for the restaurant over the years. For starters, The Lothian Restaurant became Khushi’s in 1974. And only a few years later, tragedy struck the family. In 1977, while on pilgrimage, Khushi died – and his family had to pick up the reins. Much like her husband, Khushi’s wife had little English, but plenty of determination – and took over the restaurant, while raising seven kids. Now, it’s the sons that grew up in the kitchens of the first restaurants that run the show. Scotland’s a lot more used to the cuisine, so you’ll find a lot more than you used to on our menus. But some things don’t change – like the bring-your-own-booze policy, the great atmosphere and the dedication to the very best ingredients.
