We were at Navaar House Hotel for the second time! That probably says it all. It is a very old building but clean and the people are very hospitable and do everything to make you feel comfortable. Breakfast is great and the food is excellent! Highly recommended if you want to visit Edinburgh. Who knows, see you next time!

The restaurant closes too early in the evening; that restricts a guest somewhat. Rooms and technology are perfect.

Had a comfortable one night stay here. Spacious room with ensuite bathroom. Complimentary breakfast was provided with a really nice coffee. Special mention to the staff who were very helpful from booking till the checkout.

Just spent 2 nights at the Navaar House hotel and can't praise the staff and owner high enough. The staff were very helpful and polite, the food was beautifully cooked and cooked to order. Our evening fish tea for 2 was excellent we included a starter and a sweet and all were excellent. The full Scottish breakfast was huge beautifully cooked and piping hot a good start to any the day. Highly recommend Navaar House for service and good food.

Had a family meal there on 25th of Feb. Place was busy but with plenty of room and enough space that groups weren't imposing on eachother. Menu was fairly basic, but everyone loved the food and the portions. Service was very pleasant and cheerful, a credit to Hotel. Had stayed there a night before last Xmas when stranded in Penicuik and was impressed enough with my breakfast that I recommended the hotel to the family for Maw's 80th. Family were impressed. Also recommend reading up on the special history of the hotel, which explains the strange (if you don't know why) zebra logo for a Scots hotel.

Good food and service. Pleasant ambience and reasonably priced. What more do you want? The hamburger 🍔 was superb. Large portion for lunch do did not need my tea (which is unusual for me).

It was a fantastic room. We stayed in the most affordable, and it was perfect for us, spacious and beautiful. The restaurant was excellent. The staff was beyond helpful. We arrived later than we wanted. The kitchen was closed, but the team was accommodating and heated our food and delivered it to our room. A bus stop right in front of the hotel with a bus directly to Edinburgh City centre that runs until quite late, which is lovely. It was like staying in a family home.

First class experience. Friendly and welcoming. Really enjoyed the roast dinner and the real ale. Excellent value for money. Returning after a very enjoyable visit a year ago and wasn't disappointed.

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*****

On Friday night I made an online order of 5 items through Just Eat to collect. On getting home I discovered only 3 of the 5 items were in the bag. Called to try and sort out and was promised a call back in a few seconds. Got the call back in 30 minutes. Didn’t offer to deliver but offered a refund on missing items which I refused and said I thought a full refund would be more in order. Was told only Nico could authorise but he wasn’t in and would call me next day. Nico didn’t call on the Saturday so I phoned to be told he’d been in but had now left and would call me on Sunday. No call back on Sunday. What a poor way to run a business. Won’t be using this place again and neither will anyone I’ve told.

This place was amazing friendly and extremely lovely food. Sadly its closed due to issues with pipes/drainage all us locals are still hoping it reopens had the best macaroni in midlothian (in my opinion) and was handy to grab a coffee while waiting on the train.
