“The staff is just AMAZING. You can really feel their hospitality. Always polite and smiling The food is astonishing. Their shared plate with chicken was the best, the freshest chicken i v had in several years. The same goes for their homemade hummus. Exceptional. It is a must - visit”

“Halal and Delicious ,, we had chicken biryani, green salad, nuggets and fries also deserts,, clean restaurant and helpful staff”

“Great food and great service. They were also very accommodating to my dog which was great to see. 10/10 - we will be back!”

“I came here based on the reviews and turned out that this place deserves 10 stars not only 5 It was one of the best shawarmas I tasted.. quantities and prices are very good as well. There is a good place to sit in. Location is also good and next to the central mosque. I think I will always come here whenever I visit Edinburgh”

“Best Indian food we've had. Freshly cooked and just absolutely gorgeous! We came here 3 out of our 6 nights in Edinburgh. Friendly chef and waiter. Would highly recommend.”

“Hands down the best food spot in Edinburgh! We dined in and the overall vibes of the place were great!! So clean and tidy with amazing service from Jana and Fares.”

“If you are looking for a nice, clean market where you can find Turkish market items, this is your place. The prices are relatively high but it is expected as items probably coming from overseas.”

“Love this place! Great melon from the East, tasty baklava and good other groceries. Plus friendly people.”

“Found at random on our way to the airport. Delicious food, friendly and helpful staff, reasonable prices. We’ve sat outside at the tables and was nice and quiet on Sunday morning. I very much enjoyed it and will be definitely going back when in Edinburgh!”

“Food was extra great. All cooked fresh on the spot. Clean, fresh and no processed ingredients. Tasty modern Lebanese/Mediterranean dishes. No halal meat or chicken. The dishes are actually small so you'd know, not for hungry nights, but delicious. A sumptuous atmosphere, worth it.”

“Dined here after a few months and was pleasantly surprised to see that the shop has been refurbished. More seating available and new items on the menu - the quality of existing items hasn’t been compromised with these additions. Easily the best shawarma in Edinburgh!”

“The food was delicious! Lebanese is one of the world's best cuisines, very flavorful, and the service was very friendly, which is to be expected. Highly recommended.”

“What a find! Will be coming back. I took a wrap and then called my family and sat done and dined after tasting the wrap. The Shawarma House is run by what looks like Kurdish brothers. It feels like a family run business. The food is full of flavour and we were received with kindness and generosity. Thank you for your hospitality. Definitely a favourite in Edinburgh!”

“Just ordered shawarma and chips, the food is fresh and the best around. The owner is the nicest and the kindest man ever, we got served with most crispy chips and drinks with shawarma. We have had an amazing experience.”

“The food here is brilliant, and i have visited here many times and will definitely be back again. I couldn't recommend this place enough. £9.50 for chicken tikka masala and rice is a fair price considering the great flavorful and good portion size. The staff were also super helpful and welcoming.”

“Food amazing!! Staff also very friendly. We ordered starter and mains but we had extra break with salsa at the beginning, then extra shot of alocohol at the end. Nice small restaurant with good atmosphere.”

“such a lovely humble family run restaurant. the owner is so lovely and the food was out of this world. i recommend the couscous royale, le festin, and chorba soup.”

“Absolutely brilliant Kurdish food. Must trys include the lamb kebab, the chicken kebab and the slow cooked lamb in gravy. The service person was all smiles and efficient. Highly recommend the place for a flavour packed meal.”

“Travelled from New York to visit our daughter. We have been h ere before and could not wait to go back. Great decision! Had an incredible meal with polite and professional service. This is our #1 for India n cuisine not just in Haymarket, but in all of Edinburgh.”

“I went to lunch there before taking the train back home. Service was good, the waitresses are nice and kind. The food was excellent, the meat was perfectly cooked and the sauce was tasty. I recommend to go there if you're hungry. Portions are big too, so have that on consideration before taking an appetizer, because you may have no more appetite for the main course”

“Humble bunch of lads …. Really nice atmosphere….. food was nice and service was quick …. Would highly recommend if near the royal mile as halal food shops are few and far between in Edinburgh town centre….. well done to the lads serving”

“Stumbled upon this gem. It's a favorite of me and ALL my graduate student friends. Perfect for a delicious late night bite that doesn't break the bank and tastes wonderful!”

“The food was amazing great service I definitely recommend there is so many options of food to choose from. We ordered pizza and it was finished in 2 minutes. If you ever want something to eat this is your place”

“Nice place. They had baby chair too. Food was served in short time. A plus point as we were hungry. Their pizza was soft . Good for our toddler. Chicken Shawerma were best. I found the kebab a bit dry though. But it compensated by garlic and herb sauce.”

“They say it's halal, but personally, I'd eat on the safe side: rice, pasta, salad.”
