Food establishment in Edinburgh

“This has to be the best gyros I’ve had in the UK. I had the halloumi gyros which was so well done with genuinely perfectly cooked crisps. So well priced and the service was second to none. So friendly and welcoming!”

“I loved this place! Incredible coffee, super nice staff, and it was so cool to be able to choose from 7 different types of coffee beans. They took me through the different types and I ended up trying two different ones. You can tell they really care about their coffee! Staff was super friendly as well :).”

“Great cafe! Food was delicious and well priced. The atmosphere in the cafe was cozy. Thanks for the great morning.”

“Decided to give this place a try and was not disappointed. The food was delicious. My satay beef was nice and tender with loads of flavour and everything else just tasted fresh and of a better quality than I've had elsewhere. One nice touch was that they poked holes in some of the containers to let the steam out so things like spring rolls and the salt n pepper chicken stayed lovely and crispy. The two people who delivered it were really nice and friendly too. Great food and service all round and we'll definitely be ordering from here again.”

“We loved this place. Great service and atmosphere. I loved how well one of the owners treated us and others. There was another customer there who had a hard time speaking and the owner was so patient with him. Then we got the food back to our place and it was really good with lots of flavor.”

“An absolutely amazing dining experience from start to finish !!!”

“First time here. Absolutely delicious. I’d recommend.”

“Great wee spot for great coffee and sweets. The little free library and atmosphere give it a great vibe to relax and enjoy some peace, either alone or with friends. The proprietor was not only personable but funny and knew how to read his people. Highly recommend and will be back.”

“I love this shop. They have all of the essentials with none of the waste. Lovely helpful people in store. Plus some tasty treats (I see you Belgian chocolate buttons). The click & collect system works really well during lockdown - simply emailed my order, paid online and it was ready for me in-store.”

“The best Latin food in Edinburgh. The ladies that served us were so nice and the whole experience was worth it. Such a small place with great authentic flavours. Well done, would happily go back there!”

“We had a group booking here and tried the churrasco experience - it was fabulous! Delicious cuts of beef, chicken, pork and lamb always arriving, and access to the market table. Also tasted a brilliant wagyu beef!”

“What an amazing place. Extremely busy and we visited on a Monday night. We booked as we were a group of six and I am glad I did as the wait was 90mins or more. It's clear why this place is busy, the food is fantastic and the service is good. We ordered mains with rice and naan, along with small plates and shared amongst us.”

“Ignore the negative reviews. My partner and I had such a lovely experience here. The food was flavoursome, quick to come out, and the waiter was on top form. So so lovely and knowledgeable. ORDER THE SPATCHCOCK CHICKEN. It’s an underdog and better than the lamb - my partner and the waiter agree. Falls off the bone and is so flavourful. Bacon and spring onion mash is unmatched. Get it. Or regret it.”

“It was my first time in Scotland and first Indian restaurant in scotland and I must say that really great food. We asked them to make it Indian spicy and it was worth saying that. All the dishes were delicious. Being served and taken care by their two of the girls and they were very hospitable and good at their work. Highly Recommended”

“Kids had great fun trying to climb the different climbing walls.”

“Honestly our whole experience was amazing. The service was so good, all the waiters were so friendly and professional The restaurant manager let a have a table out of the way as my daughter hates loud noises. He was very polite and professional also. The food was excellent, im a 30 year chef and could not fault it. They use a renowned butcher for all their meat. And it really shows!!. It was like eating butter and cooked to perfection. We will definitely be back.”

“I have purchased whole hams from Black Hoof on a number of occasions usually without any problems, when there has been some concern customer service has been exemplary. Thoroughly recommend.”

“Ok, WOW. A very unexpected, amazing food experience. Looking in for the first time, you think???? But then …… Oskar (the chef) was absolutely delightful. Customer service was through the roof and the food… Well, the kebab was just superb, the chips thick and crunchy, and the sauces were so good, my son also couldn’t fault his burger. Oskar fed our group with a range of dishes all so tasty and homemade. This must be my best hidden gem of a find EVER!!! Just WOW. I’m so looking forward to a follow up visit. Unfortunately, this might have ruined me for alternative Turkish/Kurdish dining, FOREVER!!! FYI: as you can see, I finished it all. Not sure how cause it was massive.”

“They do such reasonable price and good quality foods. Especially the falafel is very moist inside and crispy outside. And the baklava is also very flavorful. The staff is pretty nice and welcoming. Highly recommend!”

“Both our dishes were very tasty but after living and working in Thailand, I expected this Thai restaurant to serve Pad Thai with wide flat rice noodles "sen lek" but they either cut them very thinly or they used spaghetti noodles, it was very hard to tell ? The Thai green curry was nicely presented but should have been served in 2 bowls, with more green curry sauce. As you would expect from a mainly Thai staffed restaurant, the staff and the service was perfect. Lovely seating areas with individual seating bays on the entry level, plus a few bays elevated up, giving a great dining experience. The restaurant decoration is very nicely done.”

“THE BEST RESTAURANT IN ALL OF Scotland THE HOSPITALITY FOOD TASTE AND AMBIENT ATMOSPHERE I FELT LIKE I WAS IN PAKISTAN OR INDIA There is real magic in the chefs hands I recommend everyone go to The Guru in Edinburgh Mention DJ Kaps and you will be served Royally but they do that anyways Can't wait to come up and try the food again Big shout out to Waz and Adeela who have kept the dream alive Much Love Kaps”

“We stopped by Tuk Tuk for lunch and had a wonderful experience. The service was excellent — friendly and attentive from start to finish. We shared the chaat as an appetizer, which was fresh and full of flavor, and then had Dal Makhni with garlic naan for our main course. The portion sizes were generous, and the dal was perfectly creamy and delicious. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic, flavorful Indian food!”

“My new favourite Thai place. The pad thai is one of the best, and portions are great. The panang curry was spicy, proper spicy. Takeaway only (although there's a breakfast bar type seating area, maybe you can eat in?). Only gripe is prices are a wee bit high.”

“It’s such a magical place. The moment we walked in, we could smell roses - it was so pleasant & instantly set the mood. There were roses on every table, which felt like a small but really meaningful detail that I absolutely loved. I really appreciate places that care about those little things, and it’s nice to know I’m not the only one who does:) There was no main lighting, just candles and a few small lamps at the bar, which made everything feel calm & intimate. The wooden furniture & nice paintings on the walls added to this kind of historical, yet cozy vibe. And the food… just incredible♥️ Scottish Breakfast and banana bread — so delicious. Highly recommend this place. Lovely staff as well! Totally my favorite✨”

“The Doghouse in Edinburgh never disappoints. Brilliant rooftop bar with a great atmosphere! Tasty menu, good beers, and super friendly staff. Highly recommend!”

“A surprisingly enjoyable experience. Apart from more frozen food than you could shake a cat at, there is also fruit and vegetables. I spoke with two members of staff. Nothing was too much bother for them. Don’t be fooled into thinking everything is cheap. Check out their prices with the competition.”

“Nice and clean, pub onsite, staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good. Bus stop outside that goes to and from the city centre.”

“I’ve heard that this restaurant was good so many times I just had to go. The wife and I were not disappointed. Atmosphere was brilliant. Staff were friendly, attentive, well mannered and noticeably clean. Every time front of house staff went in the kitchen they washed their hands. So nice to see. Food took some time but only because they were fully booked & it was a Saturday, plus they are a busy takeaway. No wonder why there then. The food looked great, presented well, and delicious too. Lady owner & lady head chef says a lots for this genre of establishment, from my own experience, having eaten all over the uk & Europe in a multitude of different cultures. 5 stars from the wife & I, we will definitely be returning. Thank you very much to all the staff for a wonderful evening, just perfect…!”

“Lovely restaurant in a fantastic hotel. Our only meal here was breakfast and our full Scottish breakfast is excellent. Breakfast was also well done. In the evening the restaurant and bar are packed. This is obviously a place to go. Prices good. Attentive and professional staff.”

“If you are looking for the closest thing to tasting fresh pasta while sitting in a restaurant in Venice- this is it! We have tried a number of Italian joints across the globe and this is as close to sitting in Italy as you can get. From the caprese and vegetable soup (soup of the day) as a starter, to the carbonara or ragu for mains, down to the pistachio cakes and tiramisu- you can do no wrong for anything on the menu. It’s a family owned restaurant and you can tell the pride they take with every meal. Make a reservation to avoid being turned away (we got lucky when a last minute table opened up- even waiting 15min outside). It’s worth the entire wait. You won’t regret it.”
