“Hi Folks. We’d just like to thank Ang, Donna, Natalie & fellow staff, for their terrific service during our two night stay.

They helped in many ways and we’d like to say how much we appreciated their positive attitude & solutions to several challenges, thanks again, hope the books, gumboots etc prove to be useful !! Thanks again. Scotty & Katy.”

“I ordered the all meat box, it was really good and delicious, the portion of naan bread was also perfect, definitely recommend trying the meat box”

“Very dissimilar working along from the shop, bought chips and sausage in buttered roll, roll was the size of a car tyre, massive failing was to use margarine instead of butter, tasted like engine oil, must have put a litre of sauce on each roll so basically just spent eight quid and binned it after about two bites. Horrible really disappointed.”

“Today I went to Domino’s Pizza and was served by a staff member named Manvir. She was very warm and friendly, and answered all of my questions with great care. The pizza was also delicious — really enjoyed my visit!"”

“I'm not surprised this place has won awards! Everything about the place is amazing!! From the back story to the customer service and the food is out of this world! So fresh and full of flavour! The prices are very reasonable and staff seem to go out their way to offer great value and service! Keep up the great work team can't wait to return for my next meal!”

“I have been going to Angela for about 5 years or so now predominantly for nails and eyebrow waxing. I have also had LVL and massages. She has a lovely wee treatment room and it’s all kitted out with lovely bits! Angela is so friendly and carries out treatments to the highest quality and professionalism. She will make you feel very welcome and relaxed and is great at keeping you up to date with information, treatments and availability. Would highly recommend you pay her a visit!”

“Had number 17 and it was absolutely delicious. Very unique place but highly recommend to anyone thinking about trying it!”

“Awesome service and wonderful owners. Lovely food”

“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”

“A beautiful location walking distance to shopping and public transportation. After a busy day, there is nothing better than relaxing in the spa and enjoying the backyard. Rooms are very comfortable, kitchen is well equipped, and you feel pampered and taken care of. A wonderful way to experience Scotland!”

“The type of charming local cafe that is sadly all too rare these days, serving a wonderful mix of traditional Scottish dishes and cafe fair with some authentic turkish options. The food is freshly and lovingly prepared to order delivered quickly and with relish. The prices are surprisingly reasonable given the quality. Staff very warm and welcoming and happy to cater to preferences. Ample seating inside and some charming outside tables give it s real Mediterranean feel in the Costa del nitten. Owner passionate about food and pleasing his customers. Only single downside is having to wait awhile for a table as it is so loved by the local community that it's always busy, which is the biggest green flag for a cafe one can give. Highly recommend.”

“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.”

“Excellent food & service for our annual Christmas night out. Cannot recommend enough! thank you!!”

“Gladstone house is in a fanstatic location to the city. The acvomodation and breakfast were exceptional but yhd best part where the brilliant couple who run Galdstone very welcoming and friendly . Thanks for making out stay so good ,will defonately book again”

“A fun place to visit and good food. With inside and outside seating.”

“So many places don’t do lemon chicken ‘right’ anymore- it’s always bright red, way too sweet and syrupy. However, I took a chance on Friendly’s as I’ve never been before, the place is very small and unassuming, but the menu is huge and the price of the ‘Happy meal deal’ was impressive. Only eleven pounds and two pound delivery. That gets you a main, and one or two sides depending what you choose. I got the lemon chicken, which was outstanding and the way that I remember Chinese lemon chicken from my childhood. A pale yellow (almost translucent) sauce with plenty of zing, not too sweet or bitter. The chicken was lovely, no fat or gristle. It wasn’t overloaded with sauce either, but there was enough ‘spare’ for dipping. I also chose vegetable spring rolls and egg fried rice. The spring rolls were great- I don’t normally like larger spring rolls but these hit the spot, even cold the next day. The rice was kind of standard, and a large portion, but I think I might try the chips next time as I felt like when the rice had been delivered and cooled down slightly, it went a bit claggy. However, this is the case with most rice from a takeaway Chinese. The happy meal deal is full size portions, they don’t skimp on it just because you’re buying the deal. You will need cash if they deliver, and you need to order over the phone as they have no presence online. This wasn’t an issue in my case this time as I had cash, but if I planned to order again I would need to make a trip out to the local ATM. Not sure if they take card if you pickup in store, as I’ve not done that before. The food was here in less than fifteen minutes, super quick. The woman on the phone and the guy delivering were friendly. I tipped the delivery guy however there was no pressure to do so. This is the best Chinese I’ve had in 16 years of living in Scotland, and after the lemon chicken I had tonight I don’t think I’d ever go anywhere else. £13 including delivery is cheaper than you’d pay in the shop for a 3 piece ready meal. 5*****”

“Love coming here, the food is very very good and reasonably priced, the service is phenomenal, the kids love the attention and care they receive every time we come here”

“Lovely owners, very friendly and love a wee chat! Food made to order and waiting time great! We had chicken fried rice and beef fried rice with free prawn crackers on the side. Both were delicious and would highly recommend this place”

“Been here multiple times! Awesome food, nice staff! Will always eat here again :)”

“My wife and I had lunch here during a visit to Dalkieth Country Park. The restaurant has glass walls so the view to the park is great. The staff are friendly and pleasantly attentive. The menu has a good level of choice. Our meals were hot and freshly prepared. We sat and enjoyed our food and the views before heading off for a long walk through the park. Great”

“Dinner out done right Loved this pub to eat at. Vibrant garden on a Saturday night with people enjoying a drink and good time by the looks of it. Inside was very nice and the food was to die for. I had the lamb and was asked how I would like it cooked and this is something you don’t often get in finer dining establishments. Very very impressed. Thank you to Emily and Alex who served us.”

“Best Indian food in SCOTLAND hands down. Does not matter what you order is all amazing. Staff is great and place is clean.”
