“I ate here 2 times in a row! The staff here is so lovely. The ambient is also great! An amazing place to chill and watch the street outside. You can also charge your phone.”

“Been hesitant to try Ricebox for a while due to the poor reviews, but I’ve recently ordered from here twice and both times have been excellent. None of our main dishes were oily or greasy and they all had a good flavour, the curry sauce has a good kick and the salt and chilli chips are great. It seems like a lot of the bad reviews are maybe out of date. We will definitely be back”

“The banter between staff is superb! Helpful in this tidy, well laid out store.”

“I live just around the corner and have had food from here quite a few times. It’s always delicious, portions are good size. Friendly service. Very reasonably priced.”

“I stopped here and thought it was the sweetest gem of a place with great vibe and cool music overlooking the ocean. I still dream of the chai and chocolate chip shortbread I had here.”

“Lovely place. Food was very good and service was nice. I would totally recommend when visiting NMS, os even if you are around the area as the restaurant is just by the main entrance.”

“The food was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! I was pleasantly surprised at the quantity and quality of food. Everything we ordered was a hit with the family - hot dogs, burgers, chicken-sandwich, chips and so on. We will DEFINITELY order from here again. (I'll be sharing this on Google as well)”

“We had never tried this takeaway place before, but we decided to give it a try. I must say, the food was delicious. Definitely recommend!”

“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.”

“Very Helpful and friendly staff Good selection considering it was the end of the day”

“Best Chinese take away in West Lothian in my opinion, we order here a lot and the food is always consistently amazing and flavourful! Delicious vegetarian options like crispy tofu, crispy spring rolls and amazing egg fried rice. Have heard nothing but good things from meat eater family members, but at least for veggies I can say it's my favourite Chinese to order from. Satay sauce is the best, not too sweet like some places make it and has a lovely nutty flavour as it's meant to be. The veg they use is fresh and perfectly cooked - can't fault this place one bit. Will always be our staple Chinese take away.”

“Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. We are regular customers and have never been disappointed, the food is always fresh, tasty and hot. Extremely highly recommended”

“Heard that Taste of China has changed ownership recently so we decided to give it a try. The food was delicious and piping hot. Really is the best chinese we have tasted in a long while. Deserves the five star rating. Will be making this our local chinese from now on.”

“Stopped by for lunch. Baked potato was substantial, properly baked and the side salad was good. Staff were friendly and efficient.”

“First time visiting yesterday morning, got everything I needed. Staff were friendly too.”

“First time ordering from Village Tandoori and was not disappointed! The chicken was really well flavoured and moist. The Sag Paneer was really fresh and well cooked and the Nan was huge and really light, and again delicious. The food was delivered quickly.”

“My first time visiting this coffee shop this morning and was pleasantly surprised with the experience. I'm stunned to see so little positive reviews. A warm vibe on an overcast day in Edinburgh. An excellent oat flat white and the lemon and pistachio blondie was excellent partnered together. Two ladies behind the counter were pleasant and attentive. Polite and positive experience all-round. I'll definitely be back to try more of their varied menu. The interior is rustic and welcoming as you walk in. A truly lovely spot in Marchmont.”

“Shame about the bad reviews. Me and my partner really enjoyed it and it's the best cafe we have been to for any zoo's we have visited. My partner ordered a Bacon Roll - it was cooked fresh and was £3 which we thought was a good price. I had Scone which had butter and TipTree Jam, I was given it on a plate in a bag which was great as I could then choose when to have to during the day without it making a mess. There were Plain scones and fruit scones which was great as I prefer plain. This was just under £3 and the scone was a good size. Ordered a drink as well. We had around a 5 - 8 minute wait which we didn't mind at all especially as they were so busy. Lots of choices and would go back!”

“Delicious, high quality (not greasy) Chinese food. Not many like it in my experience. Was very happy with my Tofu and rice dish. Would it be possible to label all the Vegan dishes online, as I accidentally ordered rice with egg. Thanks Hui!”

“It was my first time in Musselburgh and I went to the first nearby Chinese takeaway. The service was very nice and friendly. The food came fast and was really warm, good portion sizes, and most importantly it was delicious! I would recommend and honestly it's better than 80% places that I've been too. Thank you.”

“One of the best dining experiences I’ve had! The food was delicious and full of flavor, but what truly made it special was the lovely lady ( Maryam) running the place. She was incredibly kind, warm, and welcoming. You can feel the love in both the service and the food. Highly recommended — will definitely come back”

“from the USA! we came because we heard good reviews, it was a lot of fun! (must be drunk) house music on Saturday’s (idk about other days of the week) it was great! people were nice. just be smart.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review for Miley at McDonald’s Miley was absolutely amazing during our visit! I came in with three of my friends, and she helped all of us with so much patience and kindness. Even though we were a bit indecisive, she never rushed us and made sure every order was exactly right. Her positive energy and genuine friendliness made the whole experience so much better. It’s not every day you meet someone who can stay cheerful and helpful while serving a group, but Miley handled everything perfectly. Huge thank-you to Miley for making our visit smooth, easy, and enjoyable. Exceptional service like hers definitely deserves recognition!”
