Berger & Stak in Edinburgh, City of

I ordered a lamb burger. Very dry cutlet. slightly burnt in places. Arabic music, too loud. I do not advise.

I had the pleasure of dining at Berger & Stāk during my visit to Edinburgh from London, and I must say, it was a sizzling experience! The steak was absolutely amazing, cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The planning was well worth it, as I left the restaurant thoroughly satisfied and not disappointed in the slightest. A must-visit for steak enthusiasts!

Travelled here from wales and I have tried many nice food places in Scotland. This place was below average for food quality. Also they forced me to pay a 10% service charge when I spent £150 here. The customer service was decent from one staff member. Wouldn’t recommend this place.

Placed and order on the phone they asked for me to come in 30 mins, food was late another twenty, everything was cold, tasteless. They forgot jalapeños, salsa, sour cream and guacamole on nachos, charged me for an extra drink and then gave me a free one for waiting, was also short of a portion of chips which is fine as chips were cold anyway. Old owners were so on it, food used to back then be full of flavour, nothing was ever missing from the order and it was always on time. Won’t be back again.

I’ll start with the good: lamb chops were amazingly good. Cooked perfectly. Served very hot. Absolutely delicious. Burgers were terrible. Patties taste like shop bought frozen cheap nasty patties. Horrid texture and put together really badly. An absolute disgrace to serve those as 50% of your menu. The buffalo chicken burger had no buffalo sauce on it and the crispy chicken fillet that we did get had no seasoning or flavour. We got a rump steak instead of the fillet steak we actually ordered. The steak was juicy and flavourful but not what we ordered. Dirty fried were dryer than the Sahara. We ate as we were starving and only because we were starving. We didn’t complain as we waited well over an hour for our food despite the dining room only having 25 or so people and half of them were eating when we arrived so no idea what took so long. The waiting staff were pleasant and polite but absolutely useless. Service for everything (including canned drinks) was ridiculously slow. No ice available, why not get some from a supermarket and invest in a cool box if your machine doesn’t work?! I’ve honestly no idea how other reviews have rated this place so highly. The quality of most of the food and the service on the night was shockingly bad. Cleanliness standards of the dining room and toilets were the icing on the cake…. Absolutely disgusting. You can smell the toilets from the top of the stairs as you walk down towards them. A horrible experience that I never wish to repeat.

Great food, welcoming to a big party of 14! Great taste and great selection. Would definitely return!

Took 1 hour plus to bring food out with no apology. Food was not even one star. This place is to be avoided in edinburgh. And the had the audacity to charge us full price. Pizza was also burnt. Please avoid at all costs. Dont be duped by the good reviews. Overall horrible experience

Went here with 4 starving teenagers and we weren't disappointed. The burgers were great, as were the milkshakes. Staff really friendly too. Background music a matter of taste;)

Yummy food, lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff.

Great place, with lovely customer service. Must visit when in Edinburgh

Shockingly abysmal food and even worse attitude. I am certain that they have bought these cheap reviews to boost their rating and upsell their atrocious excuse of a place.

Absolutely horrendous food which was topped only by even more atrocious service and unprofessional attitude of the proprietor. We had to wait 40 mins for our 2 course order, although it was 7 in the evening and there was just one more table occupied. And when the food came out it was undercooked and rushed, the pasta was so hot that it was searing the mouth and had no consistency of the sauce that it should have. When we raised our concern the owner hardly bothered and was neither apologetic about it. Would rather crawl over broken glass than give this enterprise any business again. Abysmal

Great burgers and steaks for amazing prices and friendly staff

The food was amazing both quality wise and presentation. Staff quite friendly. The welcoming of the chef was incredible. Enjoyed the experience and will come back again and again. Prices are reasonable for the generosity of the portion.

Great food, Great service, We had pizza and chef's special pasta it was delicious, Highly recommended

Great staff , great food , great service Came from glasgow n was not disappointed 👍🏽

We went for steak here after reading the glowing reviews but unfortunately we were disappointed. We ordered the Sirloin steak but it was more of a Rump steak with a very firm texture. Also it was not cooked very well. We asked for Medium well and parts of it were rare. Overall we were not impressed and the portion of the chips were small. Also when we paid the amount on the bill did not add up. When I queried it, they said they added service charge. The amount should be clearly stated on the bill and not just randomly added. I would not go back

The place has a great atmosphere, tasty and quality food, best service and hygienic. Looking forward to the next visit…

Always a delight to dine at Berger & Stāk. Food is delicious, service +, and wonderful people.

Absolutely Amazing 100% halal! The place is so clean and cosy! I definitely recommend trying the burgers and the pasta. Really nice atmosphere inside. May GOD bless you guys to have beautiful Quran recitation playing in the background on Friday🙌🏼

A burger amd steak restaurant that has potential but hasn't fulfilled it yet. The food unfortunately was low quality. The burger beef patties were hard, chewy and with some gristle. That was a shame really, the main selling point of burger and stak should be really nice burgers. At around 10 pounds the burgers are on the cheaper end. The menu also has steak and pizza. I would recommend they focus on something, reduce their menu size and do fewer items but do them really well. The restaurant was clean, although there was some smoke when we came in. The staff member was really nice and the food arrived on time. Unfortunately, I am forced to give two stars compared to some other burger restaurants we've been to. I hope to revisit in the future if they improve their burgers with higher quality ingredients.

Love this place! Had a lovely dinner for myself and two friends. One fully stacked burger, delicious. The buttermilk chicken was insane, the size and presentation was excellent. And the haddock burger, just simple and delicious. Definitely one for the future!

This place is amazing!!! The food on point. The best burger I’ve had hands down. Staff member very good. Very attentive and helpful. Served us very well. Family had a blast and really enjoyed it. The atmosphere and vibe really nice. Nice and warm too. Highly recommend this place.

The food is amazing. The people are so friendly and generous. Everything is fantastically wholesome in this place!!

In one world impeccable. Finally some delicious halal beef! Food was delicious especially the classic burger. Staff was very attentive and kind. They did not want to disturb us and left us chatting at the table even though they had to close.

Great place to eat would suggest to anyone

The place is super good and delicious. Asked the waiter and said Halal and went as the reviews said so also. Not sure 100%. The place is good and very good choices. Their portions are good. Everything was quite well made except the nachos which were bit dry. Amazing place to visit in Edinburgh.

Best steaks in edinhurgh and cooked exactly what I asked for also excellent customer service

Decent steak but not the best I’ve had. The Dirty fries lacked filling and chips were soggy and bland. Customer service was brilliant .

الطعم لذيذ والاستقبال جميل والطاقة اجمل

Lovely steaks and especially fries are from next world. So crispy and flavourful

Simply the best steak and best restaurant i have ever eaten in my life!! Highly recommended

Stumbled upon this little gem I am vege, my partner is not. I had a hallumi burger, he had a burger. The Mr. Said it was one of the best burgers he had ever tasted. Mine was so wonderful. It was refreshing to find such a good option as a vege, especially in a burger place. I can't recommend it any higher. The chips were amazing and no seasoning required.. even for the Mr. The food came quickly, well cooked and lovely and warm. We were served by a young waitress who was excellent as were the other staff, a young man. Thanks. The price was really good, esp for the quality and location. It was the best meal we ate in Edinburgh, and in many places to be honest. My only complaints are that I was too full to eat it all again and that they are so far away from my home town! Or I'd be there every weekend. The atmosphere was layer back, the restaurant clean and simple. Couldn't have asked for anything more.. ❤️🍔

Perfect steak, cooked to the exact order, stylish presentation and good quality beef

Food tastes absolutely incredible, Partner had chicken Biryani lovely flavour, Hospitality and customer service spot on! Lovely hidden gem!

Their steak fries with the B&S sauce is always the highlight of the meal, best tasting fries I’ve had in Edinburgh. The buttermilk chicken burger and chicken steak are also v good. Extremely friendly staff and they always provide the best service, worth every penny.

Surprised it was really good! Burger or Steak - would recommended giving it a go- check out plates on facebook whatever, and menu. It was good bit of food - service was great

Amazing halal food freshly made and sure to satisfy all steak and burger needs! Highly recommend mash as a side

Fantastic food Excellent service highly recommended bloody tasty.

Very good quality of food. One of the best places i visited in edinburgh. Would definitely go again. Well priced and good quality food!

Small area, waited quite abit for a table, once seated, we got served pretty well by cheerful staff, got starters quite quick mains took a great deal of wait, i ordered the burger stack, very enjoyable n filling. Overall enjoyable be prepared to wait for a while for food

Great steak and price. The room was slightly chilly but totally understandable given the current energy prices

Absolutely delicious food! amazing hospitality, steak and burgers was done to perfection. Staff was polite and engaging, definitely visiting again. Thank you to Yahya for being an amazing waiter

Absolutely disappointed in the service had wait on a hour for the food to come out and asked for well done steak and got rare don’t recommend this place

Great food, brilliant staff. We ordered 3 different burgers and one steak and it was all delicious. Can’t wait for my next visit

Great food, simple, tasty, the halloumi was crunchy and delicious. Staff was very nice and fast

Love the buttermilk chicken burger from here. Yet to try one better. Probably the go to place for halal gourmet burgers in Edinburgh. I've been here a couple times now. I tried the lamb chop, sirloin steak and classic beef burger. Both were cooked to perfection. Friendly service as well.

Strongly recommend, every-time we go, we enjoy every single bite until the end. Staff were extremely friendly and kind. Burgers and nice and crunchy, steak is absolutely delicious.

First order from here (pick up) . A bit disappointed that chips didn’t taste fresh (cold & hard) . Food was not very warm but edible. Dirty fries , again tough chips and cheese wasn’t really melted enough (think it was microwaved). Burgers are fine but quite dry as not enough sauce. Thanks for your reply; I think the main issue isn’t how to keep chips hot (although I’ve bought from other takeaways and food has been hot by the time we have arrived home) , the main issue was the chips weren’t fresh , all my family members had the same complaint , they were cold and tough(which already makes a difference to the temperature ) . For the price a customer pays , they expect fresh food . Anyway just wanted to give you a true review , probably won’t be back . Thanks

Let us in early before show to have a drink as grill not fired up and oh boy it was worth the wait Food was excellent great choice and service second to none Certainly go again as great value

Personal muy atento y amables, regentado por inmigrantes que cocinan más que aceptable. Para una cena rápida y muy aceptable.

Was in Edinburgh for a long weekend and had my best meal here. Perfectly cooked steak and great sides. Would visit again if I'm ever in Edinburgh.

Arrived late after delayed flight and were received the most lovely way with incredibly delicious Burgers! Steak sizzeling on a hot plate filled the room and the chicken burger was really crunchy. Special requests no problem, all staff really friendly and helpful. Went again the next day.

Add on ring onions for 1.5 £ what I got single ring ,taste of burger blunt not tasty or anything ,very expensive for burger options and tastelessness meat I would suggest to improve the quality of burgers

I’m a huge steak fan and visiting Edinburgh I tried finding a halal steakhouse. Berger and Stak appeared to be the only one I could find so I visited based on that alone. My expectations were exceeded. The service was fantastic and the food was amazing. Fresh and great quality. The price was very well worth it. I would highly recommend to anyone needing halal steak in Edinburgh and would definitely return myself.

Made a last minute reservation. Staff are extremely friendly, welcoming and attentive. Food is great. Prices very reasonable. Very satisfied and I have a very happy belly. Will definitely recommend to friends

Tasty steaks, very helpful staff, great ambiance!

Food and service was spot on. The burger was meaty and delicious and the fries were crunchy and crispy.

The Smokey BBQ 🍔 was flavoursome & filling... Chips were OK. Service was good. Restaurant has a modern, trendy feel. The WC were clean. Tho their prices are a bit steep.

Excellent clean food and great service. Highly recommended!

Do yourself a favour and order a steak on a sizzler plate at least once. The burgers are great too! Super friendly staff,

Very tasty, fresh food. The staff is extremely friendly, we highly recommend this place.

Very tasty burgers! Portion size was perfect for the price, cool environment. Family owned restaurant, very home-y.

Outstanding food and presentation. Trendy, quaint and friendly environment. Excellent flavor on the burgers and would highly recommend

Tried other halal steak places but this place was something else small space but big hearted people. Food was absolutely deliciouse .

Wow - what an amazing meal we just enjoyed on a whim - we were actually headed somewhere else, stopped and checked out the menu at Berger & Stak and decided to pop in. We were lucky enough to grab a table and what a great experience. The staff (all family) were gracious, conscientous and attentive. The food was fantastic. We started with the mini-lamb chops and the Giant Prawn skewers (I wanted to eat that sauce with a spoon). We all shared a classic burger, a ribeye and the grilled chicken - they were all wonderful. Can’t recommend highly enough

Good food and friendly staff, overall good quality. 5 stars from Malaysia 👍🏾

Quick and easy to book a table. Mohammed was a great host from start to finish. The sizzling steak made a great entrance and was cooked perfectly. The burger was tremendous with all the right toppings

Really wonderful and helpful staff. The food was amazing. The rib eye stake was delicious and we really enjoyed the grilled chicken burger as well. Definitely recommend

The food was amazing and the service was even better! The lamb is phenomenal. We’ll be back again for certain.

Your go to halal steak and burger in Edinburgh

Excellent burgers, very friendly staff. We enjoyed our meal and have been back three times. Thanks!

Coming from a large American man, the burgers are Flippin amazing! Super messy tho but that's just part of the challenge by far best burger I've had in Edinburgh so far!

Loved it.. a great overall experience. Tasty steaks and sides.. friendly staff. Will be going back for seconds.

Superb halal steak place, fillet was tasty as was the rib eye, excellent chips and lovely friendly service. Can't really fault the place and prices are very reasonable. Both steaks cooked to perfection. Been back a couple of times, each time steaks perfect

Steak was undercooked, and I get medium rare. Young guy serving was a little weird. Older guy was really nice and apart from the undercooked steak it was decent place to eat, probably the best halal food in edinburgh.

On a short break to Edinburgh from Manchester i was bit unsure about the halal food options in Edinburgh as i read mixed reviews but this places does some amazing Halal food in Edinburgh! Lamb chops were stunning served with a garnish of grilled onions! Highly recommend if you are visiting Edinburgh and are looking for good Halal good! Also, the service just as good as the food!

Very poor customer service. Extremely disappointed. I would not recommend this place.

7 of us came for dinner and EVERYTHING was excellent! I had the grilled chicken burger which was tasty! The gentleman that waited on us was helpful in picking out sauces and explaining some of ingredients to match our tastes. 5 ordered steaks and were all cooked to perfection. The other diner ordered the chicken dish and was equally satisfied.

Great place, great food and great people. Definitely reccomend and will be re visiting for sure. 5 stars

Exceptional taste, great quality, good service. Bit pricey but never a disappointment. Very pleased overall.

Fantastic steaks and burgers. Meat is good quality and the waft of beef that comes from the kitchen is enticing. Staff are excellent. Great range of homemade sauces that are a little different from your usual offerings

A wonderful place - from the moment we walked in, the staff was so friendly and caring. Went there for iftar and they brought food to the table exactly at the right time. They also gave us a dates and water to break our fast with. As for the food, it was just as good as their service. Everything was piping hot and just delicious! Not to mention the presentation. It was so beautiful to eat and look at. Do give this place a try, you won’t be disappointed!!

Excellent food and service . Didn't have to wait long for food to arrive , delicious perfectly cooked steaks and lovely atmosphere . Would definitely recommend it

We visited this restaurant on Friday 8th April. From the welcome we received on entering until we left everything was superb. Staff so friendly and attentive. Our food was first class. Very reasonably priced. We will certainly return .

Lovely place, great food and service. Absolutely loved it. The food was fantastic and worth the price. 10/10 would recommend.

Firstly, the guys here are soooo nice. Service was amazing. So friendly, welcoming and attentive. Secondly, the food was top notch. Rib Eye steak was cooked perfectly and tasted fantastic. My wife and daughters burgers were delicious, and my son says his buttermilk buffalo chicken burger was the best think he has ever eaten! We are in Edinburgh for a few nights and he wants to come back here every night! 😂. To be honest, so do I! Wishing the team at Berger and Stak all the very best and we look forward to visiting again. p.s. sorry no photos - we were too busy eating the amazing food!

Really good steaks service and value for money

We had a selection of burgers and fries, was OK, nothing special. Place was small but busy, everyone friendly and good service. Food a let down for me.

I ordered the Sirloin Berger & Stak Style with peppercorn sauce. My husband got Spicy Stak Burger. Food was amazing, cooked perfectly medium rare how I wanted it (it was more on the rare side which I didn't mind at all!!). Peppercorn sauce was aromatic, creamy, and slightly spicy but nothing a person could not handle - I actually liked that little kick. The only thing I found funny was that my food came with a side salad but that salad was rather... small. The Burger was juicy and not unbearably spicy (Had Jalapenos). Additionally there was a delicious chili sauce on the patty, it had a subtle smokey flavor to it. Overall a fantastic experience!

We visited here last night and it was very good. I wouldn’t say worthy of 5 stars but we still enjoyed our burgers. I ordered the chilly berger special which was quite nice but not that spicy. My wife ordered the fish berger which she found tasty, although to me it just appeared to just be battered fish in a burger with tartare sauce, nothing particularly special, but the Mrs liked it. The chips were just ordinary chips. We also buffalo chicken strips which were good. Service was great and the staff were very friendly. We also didn’t have to wait that long for our food.

Definitely would come again, the staff were incredibly polite and welcoming. There were six of us who booked and the food came out on time, and cooked beautifully. Steak was excellent 👌🏽

Great ribeye steak (perfect medium) and beef burger! Staff were nice!

Came here for my mum's birthday. Apparently she's been several times before and is one of the few places she will eat meat in a restaurant. This was my first time. First impressions were good as the staff are exceedingly friendly and helpful. I went for a steak (which was lovely) and everyone else burgers. The quality of the meat was excellent. Really juicy and tasty. The chips and halloumi fries also tasted yum. If I had one small criticism is that there are no kids menus/portions. My 2 youngest ended up having a basic burger but neither could finish it (not good for my waist line as I finished it for them!) Other than that, no criticisms. I'll probably also try milkshake next time so I cannot comment on those.

Worth a try and the staff are friendly and check to see if there are any issues with the food. Price on the premium end but worth it if you enjoy the food.

We ate here back in August and my kids still go on about it, the food was absolutely amazing, the place super clean, the owners were amazing, the lady who owns it served us and catered for me being gluten free, All i can say is that place was perfect with amazing Burgers and steaks.

Steak was amazing...highly recommend this restaurant. Nice atmosphere too 👍🏽

Great customer service and excellent food, definitely going to come back.

We found this by accident and we are so glad we did.The staff were so accommodating (given they were closing in an hour) and very professional. The food was amazing: i had chicken and my partner had steak. His steak was cooked to perfection and my chicken was so tasty, i could have eaten it again. If we were staying longer we would definitely go back for another meal. For anyone visiting Edinburgh I would definitely recommend a visit; you will be missing out if you don't.
