Tony Singh opens Radge Chaat at Edinburgh’s Bonnie & Wild food hall

Chef Tony Singh has opened Radge Chaat Indian food stall at Bonnie & Wild in Edinburgh’s St James Quarter.

Singh and his brother Lucky trialled the concept as a pop-up in the west end of the city during lockdown.

The menu is vegetarian, with vegan and gluten-free options, including samosa chaat, pakora chaat and chana chaat; as well as monthly specials including a vegan butter chicken tikka, dosa and gol guppas, or pani puri. The concept has opened with a trial menu, with the full menu launching on 25 May.

Singh said: “I launched Radge Chaat in 2021 because I wanted to bring high-quality, authentic Indian street food to Edinburgh. Amid the pessimism of lockdown, especially for hospitality, I wanted to give people accessible, colourful and soul-lifting Indian food!

“After the success of our pop-up, I wanted to take the next step and open a city centre venue. I’m really excited to be joining Bonnie & Wild’s Scottish Marketplace. There’re already some great chefs involved and I’m delighted to now be part of this community.”

Radge Chaat joins concepts at the food hall including National Chef of Scotland Gary Maclean’s seafood restaurant Creel Caught, Jimmy Lee’s Salt & Chilli Oriental, El Perro Negro, East Pizzas and Joelato.

Ryan Barrie, operations director at Bonnie & Wild, said: “Tony and Lucky are brilliant additions to B&W. We’re all delighted to have them here. Their quality banter and characters are matched by their exceptional cooking, and like us all at B&W, they are focused on promoting Scottish food and drink, and bring another example of the range and diversity of cooking and ingredients available here.”

Bonnie & Wild’s Scottish Marketplace is a premium food hall that champions Scotland’s world-class food and drink. Opened in July 2021, it is the main food and drink anchor site of the St James Quarter. With seating for 350 guests, it hosts more than a dozen stalls and bars.

A previous winner of Scottish Chef of the Year, Singh is a cookery book author and well known for starring in television cookery shows. He has run restaurants including Tasty at Alea, Oloroso, Roti and Tony's Table in Edinburgh.
