Write your name in the history books and take on the Kismot Killer Curry challenge!

What's the spiciest curry in the UK?

"The Kismot Killer" is an infamous curry across the UK, and you can find it at Kismot Indian Restaurant in Edinburgh. From Waverley Station, it's about a 20-minute walk south via George IV Bridge.

“The Kismot Killer” is a spicy curry on a whole other level of spice! This challenge comes with a big, and understandably scary reputation – to date, it has sent 2 people to the hospital in 201,  after they spent their evening throwing up and writhing in pain on the floor. For this reason, competitors must sign a legal disclaimer before taking part, that formally encourages participants to pre-plan their suffering by putting toilet rolls in the freezer for when they get home. Yikes!
