The Gulistan House gave the people of Dundee a chance to sample Indian cuisine as early as 1979 and is considered to be the first such restaurant in the area. Following an intricate refurbishment, the restaurant reopened with a completely new design and menu in 2002.

Today, it stands as Tayside's longest established Indian restaurant and welcomes customers in to its attractive interior that is influenced by traditional art and culture but designed in a refreshingly modern way.

Plates of lamb tikka or tandoori king prawn with warm mulligatawny soup can be had as starters. These could be followed by the royal Mughalai rice dish of biryani or mains of chicken, prawn, lamb or vegetables, all created in authentic karahi, tikka masala, balti, kurma or the more traditional bhuna, dhansak or rogan josh style, and complemented by rice or naan bread. The chef's speciality could consist of chicken Lahori that bursts with all the wonderful flavours of ginger, tomato, green chillies, onions and tamarind.

Spirits, beer and wine from around the world complete the picture.
