Also tried fries and zucchini fries were absolutely delicious ! And finally Baklava . Just perfect everything . Nice and tasty every ingredients is so fresh feels like you’re in the Mediterranean Sea. Love the place nice clean and quick. Definitely go back.”

“Love this place, as I just was not expecting it. Great quality Greek food and Wine. Konstantine is a wonderful host and clearly very passionate about delivering something special for his customers. Try the lamb, there would have been photos of dessert had it not disappeared so quickly.”

“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!”

“As a Greek that lives abroad I was extremely impressed with the variety of products this place has. I am not talking only for the good that they bake but you can find literally anything from Greece. I was just amazed. We got breakfast from there and of course a freddo espresso was a must to accompany our pastries. Everything was very tasty! I highly recommend you to visit this place and try all the Greek goods they have!”

“Outstanding food! - food is just perfect. Very tasty and it feels home made. - prices are very ok. Portions are very big. Recommend - suitable for a first date and also families or after work - toilets available, street parking only”

“Won't be everybody's cup of tea 'cos slightly quirky. A wonderful combination of food drink and eccentricities. Less than £100 with a good tip & ½l of wine. Moussaka and Beef with aubergine where both fantastic. "Very nice Orange Cake" says the wife Both enjoyed the complementry ouzo & 'amuse' to start too. A must return I my book”

“Delicious food, freshly made, generous portions. This is my first gyros and the bar is now set high! Would 100% recommend and I hope to visit again.”

“Yesterday we ate at another Italian restaurant that was OK so we where looking forward to eating at DaVinci's to see if we could get back on track. Nice 15 minutes stroll from The Royal Mile. Service was OK and the atmosphere was fantastic. The food was very good. I got a pesto type gnocchi and my partner got a traditional pasta with red sauce and seafood and also enjoyed the food. I would recommend DaVinci to anyone.”

“Great Greek food in Edinburgh! Family owned spot with authentic Greek food options and large portions. Everything we ordered was very flavorful and felt like being in Greece again. We chose the bread basket, tzatziki, pita pita (grilled chicken fillet with pita bread) and the yaourtlou. The bread was nicely grilled with a good covering of olive oil, salt and oregano. Addicting! The tzatziki was as they serve it in Greece and definitely a must order for the table. The chicken fillet was tender and very flavorful, served with thick cut fries. Finally the yaourtlou was delicious with a good serving of red tomato sauce, yogurt, herbs and spices with a large soutzoukaki portion. Happy to have come across this place while in Edinburgh!”

“I absolutely love this restaurant, this is was my second visit and it was just as good as the first. The staff were very accommodating when I asked to move to another table (there was nothing wrong with the table, I just wanted to move to a booth) and of course the food was absolutely delicious. A highlight was the octopus and the pork chop. I had a dirty martini which was super strong (be warned haha!) and our waiter was friendly and answered our questions about the food. I can't sing their praises enough, I would come here every week if i could!”

“First time visiting and I'll definitely be back.. food is fresh and delicious, service is great, I loved turkish music being played and restaurant is very clean and well maintained. I am glad to have this in the heart of Dunfermline! Definitely recommend”

“I visited Fava with my colleagues for our Christmas dinner and it absolutely did not disappoint! The food was excellent with generous portions, and every dish was full of flavor. We were a large party of 21 people, and every single one of us was impressed. The staff were amazing—super friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire evening. Even with such a big group, the service was seamless and warm. Highly recommend this place for both small dinners and large gatherings. We’ll definitely be back!”

“Review is for the space menu, aperitif and surprise course for £35- For the price I highly recommend! It’s easy to spend £30-40 on dinner in downtown Edinburgh, so you might as well do it in style! It is not a Michelin experience, but they do a very good job at getting as close as possible for the price. Try to come with one of their special deals :) ambiance was great and felt very upscale. The servers were all very very friendly, the service was speedy, we got fun explanations for each wine pairing and each course. Wine pairings were great and good value, definitely recommend for £30. Overall so fun and many yummy dishes, and didn’t feel rushed. They really try to surprise and delight you. I read some recommendations which say the portions are too small, I disagree with this. I was very stuffed when the desert course came (in combo with wine pairings). Some more detailed review on food quality for the corporate head who decides the menus, guessing this has nothing to do with the chefs at this branch as the food looks exactly like the promos for their London branch and was executed technically very well: - Surprise course was soooo fun in concept but too much gel-ing agent was used (maybe agar?) a bit gummy and not enough flavor. Great presentation! - gorgeous oyster course, perfect! -terrine could have been thinner in my opinion but very fun and flavorful course - folks at my table loved the potato, sauce was great. Due to egg it wasn’t a stand out for me - risotto course was yum and wine paired well - flat iron for me was best savory course of the evening, every element was so delish! Truly impressive course. Perfectly cooked meat, sauces were varied and delish -dessert was hands down best course, soooo gorgeous, perfect wine, no notes. My only sadness was not having enough room to finish the whole thing”

“These guys are my go to comfort food place. Everything ive tried from this place has blown me away every time. For your first time, get the Pork Gyros Merides box, the meat is amazing, it isnt some cheap doner meat. The Tzatziki is great, the veg is fresh, the pitta is moreish and the fries are crispy. Normally I find takeaway places that start out great with food made with love tend to fall off after a few months. Not these guys, this food is made with love every single time. Oh also, their pork souvlaki is so tender and beautifully spiced.”

“I recently visited Rustam Restaurant in Edinburgh and had a wonderful dining experience. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with elegant décor that makes it perfect for both a relaxed dinner and a special occasion.”

“Absolutely amazing experience! The seafood was incredibly fresh and full of flavour — everything tasted like it came straight from the ocean. The seafood chowder was rich and comforting, and the main dish was beautifully cooked and presented. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere felt cozy and welcoming. Definitely one of the best seafood restaurants I’ve been to in Scotland. Highly recommended!”

“Absolutely gem of a place. The food is delicious. Everything was very fresh, And the pork meat was so juicy. The shop itself is lovely, with plenty of space to wait on your food being prepared. Great service as well. Will definitely reccomend!”

“Toranj Restaurant is an absolute delight! As you descend the stairs, you're greeted by a breathtaking display of vibrant flowers. The customer service is impeccable, and the food quality is outstanding. We had the pleasure of sitting in their cozy yard, adding to the overall charm of the experience. Highly recommended for a memorable dining experience!”

“Great family run restaurant. We liked it so much that we went back the next night. It's not fine/posh dining like many other restaurants in the area but instead just cozy, rustic warm and authentic. Highly recommend!!”

“Amazing meal at the Real Greek! We got selected for the golden menu, which was such a treat! Our waitress Vanessa looked after us for the whole meal and the service was top tier, as was all the food - which was all delicious. Would definitely recommend!”

“I ordered the mixed bbq. Meat, salad, grilled pepper, rice and sauces were all perfect. I eat middle eastern food quite often and this was among some of the best ive had.”

“Gorgeous food, would highly recommend eaten here twice while staying in Dunfermline as food & service was that good”

“Very nice fish and chips with friendly staff. The fish was delicious with a nice thin batter and the chips were crispy. The curry sauce was nice too as was the coffee that I had.”

“This is an excellent place to have lunch or dinner, the dining room is fantastic as are the staff.”

“Perhaps the best souvlaki I’ve ever had (and I’ve had plenty). Would definitely recommend a visit. Delivery was quick and the food that came was delicious and clearly freshly made. Besides from the exceptional souvlaki their salad was also very impressive as I’ve never had such good tomatoes outside of Greece. Thank you very much for the excellent food and service.”

“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!”

“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.”

“We are so blessed to have this fantastic restaurant on our doorstep. Every dish is made with fresh ingredients, the utmost skill and of course with love. I wasn’t overly familiar with Cretan cuisine, but now I am utterly hooked! My favourite is the Gigantes. It’s funny how there are some dishes that are universally nostalgic and comforting. The whole team are fabulous and so accommodating and friendly; you really feel as though you are dining in a friend’s home. I’d go here for a celebration or just a casual romantic dinner, so great is the hospitality and food. Can’t wait to go again soon.”

“The starters are very delicious, the food was scrumptious, although the chicken biriyani was okayish here, could have been better. The mango lassi is a must try!”
