Dunedin Kitchen in Edinburgh, City of

It's small but very good atmosphere, I really liked the food and the perfect service

Do not waste your time and money. The food was expensive, microwaveable, cheap, cold food. The staff were even worse.

Absolutely awful. Do not go here. They will rip you off for food made in the microwave in less than 5 minutes. Not edible. Tried to leave and say we do not feel comfortable to eat this. They did not let us leave the establishment. Felt abused by staff.

Scone frozen solid and stale. I asked for a new one and the same one came out cremated. Breakfast bap very stingy portion

Very attentive, friendly and served us very well

My husband and I recently visited Dunedin Bistro Kitchen restaurant in Edinburgh while on vacation. We had a great and lovely experience. From the moment we walked in Irfan and Dilan took care of us. They were knowledgeable, pleasant and attentive to our needs. The food was great especially the lentil soup. We’ve never had such delicious and flavorful lentil soup before, so we were impressed, so impressed that I asked for the recipe and Irfan was so kind to write it down and give it to me🥰 We will definitely visit again when in town because of the great experience we had not just because of the delicious food but also because of the great service Irfan and Dilan provided us with. Thank you for a great service and experience!

We recently had the pleasure of dining at the Dunedin Kitchen in Edinburgh where Irfan and Dilan were total superstars!! We arrived on a cold & rainy afternoon and we were just craving a good soup to heal the soul when we walked in here and had some bowls of the best lentil soup we’ve ever had. This soup reminded me of my Grandmother’s cooking and I was blown away at how flavorful it was. Irfan then made us one of the best margaritas we ever had! We ended up having an absolute blast just following their recommendations and it ended up being one of the highlights of our time in this beautiful city. If you’re in the area and are craving some good food then you need to go to Dunedin Kitchen and ask for Irfan & Dilan. We are definitely stopping by again next time we’re in magical Edinburgh. Cheers!

Lovely staff❤️enjoyed my lunch and Hot chocolate ❤️

i don’t usually write bad reviews but this was possibly the worst breakfast meal i’ve ever had in my life. Order the Eggs Benedict, sauce was horrible and FLOODED my plate. Muffins were soft barely toasted while the eggs were tiny and tasted bad. don’t waste your money here like i did. service was decent nothing spectacular just horrible food that i could not finish, took 3 bites and felt sick

I highly recommend this place. It has amazing food and a great atmosphere.

I visited with my mom three times during our stay in Edinburgh, we loved it, food was amazing, service was amazing, can recommend.

Very good service and attention!! We only had a coffee and a pint, so we can't talk about the food but the coffee tasted very good.

Cottage Pie was tasty but I had to search for the meat. It comes with mash potatoes on top and was served with I side of mashed potatoes??? The whole plate was potatoes. Seriously, 5% mix greens, Maybe 10% meat filling and the rest was mash. Definitely not worth £17. The service was great. Very attentive and friendly. The service is saving them from a 2 star. (I tipped the server because it's not her fault the kitchen is bad) Steak Pie looked good, in it's own dish, and appropriate filling.

The food was very tasty we had fish and chips which was very good but the most amazing thing about that place is the friendly and nice people and atmosphere. Staff helped my friend who visited Scotland for the first time with unusual problems with the payment and trust which was very grateful. All the best

everything was perfect!!! Everything was perfect!! 🇧🇷

Very cozyy shop and great ambience

Located at the Bow Well and Grassmarket a vibrant area. Great Experience with the food the service and atmosphere. Very welcoming and the menu selections was perfectly diverse serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. We had a large group, and they quickly pulled tables together and made us feel welcome. Most of us had the fish and chips with breading. It was so crispy and the Haddock was moist. The atmosphere was cozy and the tables were rustic pieces of wood with ornate iron bases with comfortable seats. Best part is you can’t miss the Pink Doors and Stained Glass above them.

While on a Coach Tour, some comrades and ourselves were searching for a restaurant to accommodate a group of 8 and as many had a hankering for fish and chips we also needed one that could accommodate a shellfish allergy. After a few ‘failed’ attempts to meet the needs of our group, we came upon Dunedin! It was perfect for us. They squeezed us together at a few tables and everyone had a great meal. Attentive waiter and he even offered to take multiple group photos of our group. Personally, I had the vegetarian pakora and enjoyed my meal. We recommend eating at this restaurant.

Really friendly staff period surprisingly delicious espresso drinks. Fish and chips and stuffed potatoes is absolutely fabulous

The food was very tasty and was served quickly. However, the service wasn't very attentive... we had to ask twice if we could have another dessert and had to wait just as long until we could finally pay.

The best thing about here is the location, after this it's all downhill fast. The Cabanara we were sure it was a meal for 1 from a supermarket heated up. Zero effort, taste was non existent an portion size shocking. You were a number not a customer, can't imagine repeat business.

Honestly one of the worst meals I've ever had in my life. We were basically ushered in from the street and right away rushed to order. The inside is small, cramped and uninviting. The staff are rude and really don't care. Food was TERRIBLE. I actually left feeling slightly ill after eating half of the carbonara. They are definitely relying on having a fantastic location. We wondered why everywhere else was full and this place was dead...now we know.

Food was tasty and good. Seats are little hard. Overall it was okay!

Unfortunately it is absolutely not worth the prices. The paltry quantities and mediocre quality.

Great food and great service. Loved the view and atmosphere it’s located in a great place and it’s easy to find

We had a fantastic dining experience at Dunedin Kitchen! The atmosphere was cozy and intimate, with dim lighting and comfortable seating. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable. The food was exceptional. We ordered the Mushroom Pasta, Mac & Cheese and Pizza, it was cooked to perfection pizza was very nice. The flavors were rich and bold, and the portion size was generous. My companion's pasta's and pizza was equally impressive. Overall, I highly recommend Dunedin Kitchen for a dinning.

Came to this place today and it was amazing! We had pasta and a coke, so reasonably priced, great service, the food was AMAZING and the staff and owner were so, so friendly.

Lovely staff and delicious dessert! Irfan charmed us with his smiling face and exceptional service. We had deep fried Mars bars and it was halal as fried in a separate frier. We'll definitely visit again on our next trip.

All perfekt and very nice. Irfan !

The food was delicious and the presentation was also nice. The service was very good . We had lunch and the price was reasonable. I recommend it.

The question "Are you finished with your starters?" Doesn't exist in that place. They will just throw the plates on the table and leave. But this is the least. The quality of food is absolutely unacceptable. The materials are probably the cheapest that can be found in the market, and the cooking quality is the worst I have ever seen in a restaurant. I have attached a photo of the seafood spaghetti and a photo of the salmon dish. Just have a look at the photos. Hilarious. The chef should be fired as soon as possible. 85 quids in the bin + stomach pain. Thank you for messing up our day. I won't accept any apologies and please don't reply. The photos are there to prove the mess.

The food was great, I'll be back as soon as possible thank you dunedin kitchen family

4pm, place was half empty. I took my mother and my wife to have coffee and some cake. We ordered one coffee each and a slice of cake we’d share. We were told they could not serve us unless we ordered one piece of cake each. Hilarious. First time ever a waitress negociated with me on how much should I spend. Terrible service.

A guys close to me ask the waiter to heat up his food.... it was still frozen

It tastes great, I will choose it again :)

İt was the best lunch i ever aeten

It is a very decent, clean, sincere and friendly place. I recommend it to everyone.

Overpriced even for Edinburgh and what you get for your money is so poor. £12.50 for a hot dog from a jar, maybe six pieces of cheese and a tiny amount of fries.

Atmosphere is strange, food is overpriced and borderline inedible. Just don't.

I recently had the unfortunate experience of dining at Dunedin Bistro Kitchen with family, and it was nothing short of a disaster. We spent £70 on what was supposed to be a delightful breakfast, but it turned out to be the biggest waste of money we've ever encountered. The food was beyond terrible, leaving us with lingering nightmares about the dreadful taste and quality. Calling kitchen staff cooks is an insult to all cooks all over the world. Even boiling water seemed like an insurmountable task for them. The atmosphere was equally appalling. The restaurant smelled like something old and decaying, which immediately ruined any chance of enjoying our meal. It was an environment that screamed neglect and poor hygiene. As for the service, it was the worst I've ever experienced. The staff were incredibly unfriendly and acted as if they were being held against their will. They had no interest in serving us and made us feel like a burden. In summary, Dunedin Bistro Kitchen provided a breakfast experience from hell. The food was atrocious, the atmosphere was revolting, and the service was abysmal. Save your money and avoid this place at all costs.

meals were delicious, service was fast. it was a cozy place to eat.

The pakora looked radioactive so we never ate it. The chicken was dry like tree bark on a hot summer day. The burger was dry, bland and sad. We counted 8 small fries with our burgers. This place is an awful tourist trap with no service and boggin food. Avoid.

Dropped in for breakfast and really enjoyed a bacon and egg double decker with cappuccino. Staff were lovely and not bad value for money

The staff is kind and helpful. The menu is varied, the food was prepared quickly and was delicious.

We had such a pleasant time at this restaurant. The staff was really nice and the atmosphere was cozy inside. There is outdoor seating available. The burger was only okay but all other dishes were delightful. They have peach iced tea. 🎤

AMAZING FOOD! Deliciously presented. The fried fish and chips was superb. Our server was really friendly and helpful and the food was served quickly. Had a piping hot pot of tea. Our entire meal was really good and I would definitely eat there again.

İ have found Dunedin Kitchen by chance but it was really right decision to eat👍♥️ İ strongly recommend this place👍🙏🙏

Good food excellent service Best fish and chips and Scottish minces and tatties

I have eaten Steak Pie the fırst time in my life and it was so delicious, I Will sbsplutaly Will Come again:)

Bad food, terrible treatment, unpleasant staff, they made us eat quickly because more people were waiting outside when we had only been there for 10 minutes. The worst place I ate in my life.

Place in the historic center Well. Prices a little high. Service is good Very well located

the worst food I’ve tried in my life

Food is average. Service is quick.

Everything was very nice and delicious

The services are really good. Kashish and Binni are very nice in services and they helped in choosing the best food as per our need. Food is nice too and very delicious. Highly recommended ❤️❤️

The food is really good. Mashallah the services are really nice and the food is awesome as well. Highly recommended. The tall girl with specs is very kind and good.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. This was our first visit to Scotland. We had a delicious lunch, pint, and whiskey drink while dining outside. We did look inside and it was quite beautiful. It was a rare sunny day, so we chose the outdoor setting. My husband's lasagna was delicious, as well as the accompanying side dishes. The turkey sandwhich was a perfect light lunch, because I had consumed so many snacks at the grass market. The staff was so attentive, especially Kashish. She was knowledgeable and made excellent recommendations regarding the beer and liquor drinks. Lastly, the bathroom was extra clean and tidy.

Perfect place to try all the gastronomy that Edinburgh offers, exceptional service, Irfan a charming waiter with perfect and close treatment. It is worth coming many more times if you pass by here!

Excellent food. It was awesome! The service was perfect as well especially from the chief Mehmet! I recommend it every day 🤩

Ordered pancakes with Nutella and fruit and they turned up plain. Asked for my Nutella and fruit and was told they don’t do fruit. I mentioned it says it on the menu and the waiter had to go and check then said it would be an extra £1. I said that’s fine, even though it would have been nice to tell me that when I ordered and she took my pancakes away. They came back a few minutes later, stone cold and the waiter then says it’s actually £2 extra!! Overall just really bad service and the food was cold.

Don’t go here! We went in for drinks and dessert - larger party in a small place but they were very rude. Initially accommodated us but when they learned we weren’t eating dinner, they let us know quickly we couldn’t stay long. Everyone ordered a dessert and/or a drink but the waitress said we couldn’t stay because they needed the tables. There was not a single point where a group couldn’t get a table. The staff watched us rudely until they couldn’t see us anymore. I didn’t even finish my drink or dessert. Don’t go! It was a downer in my day.

Good food. Steak pie hit the spot, salmon was good, and the mashed potatoes are dynamite! Good service as well.

Went here three times for breakfast as our accommodation was close by and were not disappointed. Service always nice and courteous.

We were in Edinburgh for a few days and our accommodation was nearby, a small cozy restaurant with a good breakfast. Were here 3 times, it was great every time.

I recommend with confidence! Very good food.

It is a place that I can recommend to everyone. Especially the fish I ate was very good, we drank red wine with it. It definitely deserves 5 stars.

The food is ok and and acceptable price for a city. The smoke alarm was beeping every 1 minute (though not entirely within the waiting staff control as mounted on a high ceiling), which was a bit irritating. My main issue here was the staff, we were somewhat ushered in from the street but once sat down the waitress was on her phone the whole time through her ear buds and we felt rather ignored. It just doesn't fill with confidence of quality when you bet the impression that the staff are fed up of being there. As I said at the start, the food was ok, but a definite "trap the tourist operation" rather than a place with an interest in serving quality food.

Sat outside and enjoyed a few drinks

The food is very good, suitable for every budget.

My a meal at the Dunedin kitchen is still vivid in my dreams. Every taste was exquisite, and we were completely amazed by the presentation. Make sure to taste their "kebabs" without fail. The food was excellent and the service was outstanding. The restaurant has a great atmosphere, and I heartily suggest it.

Good good and friendly staff, had a good time and will defiantly return.

Definitely my favorite restaurant, excellent and appetizing food and very friendly people❤️❤️

Loved the food! Super delicious and hygenic. I would recommend this for sure.

Visited dunedin chicken and had a fantastic time! The food was exquisite, and the atmosphere was lovely. Special shoutout to the staff, Irfan Uddin, who provided impeccable service with a warm smile and great attention to detail. Highly recommend!

Beautiful place to eat specially fish and chips

I don’t know what is worst between the food or the attitude of the waiter. We had to eat in 15 min so they could take another customer right after !

Food was average, staff was rude didn't offer ketchup on ordering 2 pizza + 2 kids meal. Attitude of the waiter's was very sad. I don't understand why she was giving us such an angry look, including the kids.

Terrible service, we aren't allowed to finish our (even terrible) dishes. Good place to dine in if you're desperate but McDonalds is a better option.

Small place, everything very tight but good. The food was good, for me I liked the fish & chips, very thin and too battered, but it wasn't bad

Beautiful, intimate place with fantastic food and a wonderful staff. We spent a week in Old Town visiting from Phoenix. These people and this place, were wonderful to us! Mehmet is the kindest person you could meet...and the staff are all wonderful! We had several meals here and lots of drinks! They use a special Guiness beer batter, so try their Haddock fish and chips with some Scottish Whiskey and a beer! 😋😉 So good!

Food and service was horrible. Would not recommend.

The atmosphere was warm and inviting. The restaurant itself is quite small and intimate, with exposed brick walls and soft lighting. There were a few tables outside on the pavement, but we opted for a cozy spot indoors. The service was excellent. The chef over here is very talented.The waiter Irfan,gayathri,kasish and others was attentive and friendly, without being overbearing. They were happy to answer our questions about the menu and make recommendations based on our preferences. Overall, we had a fantastic experience at Dunedin Kitchen. It is just down to the victoria street.The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. We will definitely be back soon! Highly recommended for anyone looking for traditional Scottish breakfast and fish&chips in a relaxed and friendly setting.

Not the worst restaurant I've been to but certainly not average. It's nourishing, it's warm and the atmosphere is cozy. A little expensive for that.

If you are in Edinburgh and looking for good service and delicious food, then don't waste your time, and do visit the famous Dunedin kitchen in grass market. It's really amazing, the food the service the environment 10/10. We visit first for breakfast it was really tasty. Then again we visit for dinner. Both dinner and breakfast were outstanding. I fully recommend this restaurant. Must place to visit ❤️

Don’t understand why there are any bad reviews this place is clean and folks are very nice .The food is great..Eat here you will be pleasantly surprised for Edinburgh . Kebabs were wonderful …hot dogs .. drinks ..pizza come on you need to try it.

It's a good restaurant I recommend

The services are really good enjoyed the food as well

The food is okay, I probably wouldn't eat there again.

Tried the fried Mars bar - 10/10! Nice environment and friendly staff

We ordered a spread of things, all of them were bad; Even the fish and chips, which I don't even know how it's possible to mess that up. The fish was chewy, the salad dressing was terrible (sticky and sour), the pizza was like cardboard, the carbonara was flavourless and soupy, the fries were compressed, flavourless bricks of sand, the ketchup bottle was obviously refilled and the ketchup was suspiciously thin (I don't know if "thin" properly describes it, but it was weird and gross), the nachos were obviously just tortilla crisps from the bottom of the bag with barely any cheese (cold and not stringy) and a couple soft jalapeños, we asked for water and they gave us just a regular plastic bottle of water, small paper napkins, the glasses didn't look clean. the ambiance felt like a fever dream combined with the weird service, they weren't rude, but everyone in there seemed unhappy. And to top it all off, it ended up being waaaaaaay too expensive for what we got. Obviously, the only way they stay in business is from starving drunk people or tourists wandering in and getting trapped. 0/10. We all feel sick, and we couldn't even finish half the food we ordered.

The service is very good, the orders arrive on time, the staff is friendly, sympathetic, clean and very hygienic. The address of quality is DUNEDİN KITCHEN.

We went with my family, very nice food, wonderful staff, friendly and sympathetic food, very nice, I recommend it to everyone.

Great food for a fair price. Place had a lovely ambiance as well. The lasagna is a must try!

Wouldn’t recommend coming here. If you don’t like small spaces and an awkward atmosphere. The food is way too over priced. we had the Scottish breakfast. which cost£12.99. We asked to remove the tomatoes and the mushrooms.. and replace it with a sausage, and she charged us an extra £2 for the sausage. Which Is a bit much and didn’t inform us. also they had deliveries coming across the café while were eating and a doorbell constantly going off. would definitely not be returning at all

We went because we wanted to try the haggis and deep fried mars. We accompanied these two things with a soup of the day to warm us up from the Scottish cold and it was great, everything was very good (although the fried mars... mhe). The service was certainly a little rough and slow, but it made up for the taste of the food.

i liked the place and food we ordered chicken shish and fish and chips taste is very good and also staff is very friendly i love this restaurant

Do not go there ! You are kind of forced by the staff to take a place. The food is awful ordered 2 breakfast and seriously most of it tested off. The french toast were stale the Scottish breakfast was an oily mess with some mushroom that tasted like out of date. One of the staff member stared at us the whole time. We stayed as little as possible and left full plates. Don’t go there don’t waste you money don’t get fooled by the aggressive attitude of the staffs to force you to have food there !! Don’t think because is colourful it worth any penny !! There is plenty of other place where you can get great food!!

The food was awful ordered french toast it was cold and soggy my partner ordered the Scottish breakfast the mushrooms tasted gone off the rest had no taste. The staff were unfriendly and were staring at us the whole time. We stayed as short as possible. Do not waist you money there don’t get fooled by the nice colourful facade of the restaurant !

We needed something quick to eat late and they waited for us. So gentle. Good and cheap. Thanks!
