Published Date: 13 October 2008
KILTED waiters are heading to the Capital after it was announced that the 'Curry King of Glasgow' is to take over one of Edinburgh's best known Indian restaurants.
Edinburgh restaurateur Tony Singh announced today that he is handing over the management of his award-winning Indian restaurant, Roti, to his cousin, Ryan Singh.

Ryan is the general manager of the successful Mister Singh's India in Glasgow and is
known as the Curry King of Glasgow, with the hugely popular restaurant, known for the traditional Indian cuisine served by kilted waiters, winning numerous awards.

And it was confirmed that as well as keeping on all of Roti's original chefs and staff, Mr Sing would be bringing the kilted waiter experience to the Capital.

"I'm looking forward to building on Tony's phenomenal success with Roti and bringing a wee bit of Mister Singh's Indian to Edinburgh's Indian restaurant scene," he said.

"The opportunities in Edinburgh are massive whereas we have reached saturation point in Glasgow. In the current climate, market needs are changing and we're keen to exploit the openings that this presents."

Tony Singh decided to hand over control of Roti to allow him to concentrate on his other award-winning Edinburgh restaurant, Oloroso and look at further investment opportunities in the city.

The award winning chef has independently owned and run Roti since it opened to critical acclaim over two and a half years ago.

The last thing we need in Edinburgh is waiters in kilts. I love to see a man in highland dress at a wedding or special function but it is becoming far too common place so that it is no longer special.

I think a curry served by a waiter in a kilt would be a novel and exotic experience.

Now, will they be dressing "regimental" and the added bonus for female patrons - and some male - would be the chance to gaze upon a well-turned male ankle and calf.

For God's sake, man, lighten up a bit.

There is nothing wrong in admiring a beautiful and well-turned leg on a woman or a man.

My tastes are "catholic" in this regard and human beauty if a wonder to behold. Read "The Nude" by Kenneth Clark (Lord Clark of Salton) and all will be revealed.

Have a great evening.

The 'Elf an' Safety' bods should be around anytime now!Sporran's will be out, in case they catch the fingers of the fumbling ladies. Regimental will definitely be out!Can't have the waiters having a wee scratch and then serving food.About the only thing that may be allowed will be the Skean Dhu in the hose,so they can defend themselves;-)
