Mowgli Street Food has announced an opening date for its first restaurant in the Scottish capital.
The Indian street food chain is to open in a B-listed former Clydesdale Bank building in Hanover Street in April.
It comes after Mowgli opened its first Scottish restaurant in Glasgow last year, over three floors in St Vincent Street previously occupied by the Handmade Burger Company.
The business started in Liverpool in 2014 and now has 11 outlets in England and Wales and one in Scotland.

The Edinburgh outlet is to open on April 23. The lease was signed for a unit on Hanover Street in March 2020.
Mowgli was founded by Nisha Katona, the curry specialist and food writer.
The business offers in small street food items as well as larger curry dishes, including Goan fish curry, gunpowder chicken and Himalayan cheese toast, with dedicated gluten-free and vegan menus.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
