NeighbourWood in Edinburgh, City of

One of the best Middle Eastern food place in Edinburgh. The shawarmas are amazing!

Great, authentic, wholesome food. Very kind and friendly staff. Would go again!

Chicken was great, so was the complimentary soup and Syrian tea. Amazing service.

Incredible service and food was lovely

Delicious food enjoyed by all, staff friendly and welcoming.

This is the best shawarma I’ve had in the city of Edinburgh by far. And I’ve eaten a lot of shawarma. The ingredients at neighbourwood are of the highest quality and the recipes are masterfully crafted - simple and extremely effective. All for a very fair price. The guys in there are lovely too.

Amazing shawarmas and lovely staff, always so friendly and welcoming

Need excellent food at a very affordable price? Look no further!

Chicken Shawarma wrap added lettuce. Wrap was DELICIOUS chicken flavourful and tender lettuce fresh and crunchy plenty garlic mayo nicely hot toasted wrap at just under £6 it can't be beat! Staff were friendly and the hot tea was a nice ending. Definitely will be back and just opposite the tram stop so hopefully off get your wrap on and enjoy!

I went with my friend yesterday for iftari and the staff was lovely, food was very nice

Delicious vegan falafel cooked fresh for our studio meeting. Everyone loved it! Neighbourwood is a friendly local wonder and the whole menu looks amazing. HUGE THANKS TO ALL THE HARDWORKING STAFF

Best food ever amazing reccomed to everyone best in Edinburgh all friends come here all the time 😍😍😍😍😍😍😝

Took literally 1 hour and 10 minutes to get the food. Service was so bad. Food was really nice though.

beyond amazing service, everyone who worked there was attentive and friendly. food was spectacular, very juicy chicken and great garlic sauce. the staff also gave us tea and turkish coffee which was delicious and very sweet of them.

Hard to find good kebab and grill in Edinburgh. This ranks on top - great food and amazing value for money. Will be back today

Hands down the best grilled food I've had in Edinburgh. Food was great and the team was super friendly and professional. We'll certainly be back

The best and most authentic shawerma in Edinburgh! We keep coming back as the food is amazing and the staff are really hospitable and friendly , would definitely recommend!

Amazing Syrian shawerma. The crew are very helpful and amazing service

One of the workers had a cigarette with his mouth while he was chopping chicken in the machine.

Very good and tasty! The best in Edinburgh 👍🥰

Very good food and friendly staff

Tasty food. Really welcoming and friendly staff.

Lovely cosy place. We came in for take away shawarma and while we were waiting we were given amazing service by the staff. Can’t recommend this place enough! Food delicious, people warm and friendly, amazing spot 😊

Amazing fresh delicious food everything I ordered was delicious I had lamb shwarma mixed grilled tabuleh salad baba ganoush falafel and lemon mint juice excellent value for money can’t wait to come and try other items on the menu!!!!!’n

The best shawarma I’ve ever eaten!!!

I always recommend this as the best place for both my local and international friends to visit and enjoy a meal 😃

I tried there grill chicken, which is smelly and not properly cooked waste of time and money not at all recommended.

Very bad service very rude I don’t recommend

Had an amazing experience at [Restaurant Name]! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We tried the mixed kebab and shawarma, and both were absolutely delicious—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. We truly enjoyed our meal and will definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend!

Very simple, small but still sufficient shop. Snack style. Delicious food. And very nice staff. Very friendly and attentive. Had the BBQ plate. We then got additional rice to taste. tea and water. Great service.

The best kebab I’ve ever had. It was made with love and the Syrian chips are something special. The staff were very welcoming and offered us some complimentary Syria tea. I felt totally relaxed whilst dining here will be retuning so soon!!

Food was amazing😍 affordable with amazing service. Lovely atmosphere if you want to eat in. I’ll definitely be coming again.

I've been there twice, and both times I loved every aspect of my visit. The food is really good, especially their fried chicken—clean, juicy, and tasty. I recommend this place to anyone who has a taste for Syrian cuisine

Such lovely staff and delicious food!

They treat them very well and the food is delicious, God willing

I’d like to thank all the restaurant staff they’re so nice and friendly. The food is so amazing, best Arabic food in Edinburgh. I highly recommend it

This place is full of amazing food with hospitable staff. Highly recommend this place for food. Great experience ❤️

Based on my experience of Syrian food unfortunately im not satisfied with food quality and prices I don’t think its deserving the value , however the service is very good .

Had a great time with some friends the other night. 12/10 service and hospitality, we were offered some tea as well as fattoush salad (which I would highly recommend). Really wonderful staff!!

Great place! Try the chicken wrap, it's awesome

Whilst staying in Leith for a couple of days, I fancied myself a hearty vegan meal and after reviewing the restaurants in the vicinity, NeighbourWood won. Having not tasted Syrian food very often, it was a perfect opportunity to give it another try. I ordered my falafel meal wrap and came to collect it on a Sunday evening. The place was very busy but my order was ready for collection in 15 min. The falafel wrap was very tasty and I did enjoy Syrian chips. Personally, for the price I thought the serving was plentiful and it filled me up nicely. Now I know where I'll be going next time I'm visiting the area. Thank you NeighbourWood 🙏🏼😊

The best oriental food in Edinburgh

Hands down the best shawarma and mixed grill I've ever had! Add in the heartwarming people that work there and it's like a little slice of home!

I have reviewed this place already last year, I had a good opinion about this place, food is great but sadly the quality of the portions got worse. Before you would get a nice side salad and coleslaw and now you only get a few pieces of pickled gherkin and cucumber, they don’t have the NeighbourWood sauce which is a shame as I enjoyed the taste. Hopefully they can improve this soon, as I don’t feel like you get the value of what you pay.

Food was delicious and spiced well. Don’t mean heat, I mean the cardamom, cinnamon etc. I thoroughly enjoyed it and can’t wait to return.

Meat was amazing Would def come back

My waitress Olivia was fab, really made my dining experience 10 times better

Food was full of flavour and staff was so welcoming and the offer free tea at the end and price wise it was amazing

Amazing kebab, mezze and tabuli!! This place is sweet and simple but the food is delicious! I can't wait to come again. Highly recommend the lamb! I'm going to try the chicken next time because the table behind me was loving it

Very nice shawarma and mixed grill place, so similar to what you would get in the Middle East, delicious food and very affordable place, the best and most authentic you can get in Edinburgh! I highly recommend.

The food is delicious and tasty..everything is perfect and the staff are amazing, they are very friendly. Must visit All the dishes are delicious. If you are in Edinburgh, do not miss this restaurant

The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the staff are friendly. The chicken shawarma and falafel wrap were delicious and beautifully presented. I highly recommend it.

It is a traditional kebab, something different from those in Spain but it is very good

We tried the lamb shawarma with rice and chicken shawarma with Syrian chips. The lamb was delicious but the rice was way too oily for my liking. Meanwhile the chicken was dry, didn't seem fresh although the Syrian chips were an interesting flavor. I had high hopes from this place after reading the reviews, but ended up having a mixed experience.

As someone from Middle East, I can say that this was the best Shawarma we’ve had in England, the taste of the chicken , the presentation, sauces and the service were more than excellent. The staff were very friendly and we felt very welcomed. Highly recommend everyone to visit this place to get best experience in Edinburgh.

Amazing food. Loved it. Reminded me of the food I had when i was back home in my country. I also met lovely staff who turned out to be my neighbours in my home town!! Deffo recommend!

Very good taste! Syrian food best

Best shawerma ever. GREAT PLACE!

The best shawarma in Edinburgh, thank you 🫂

I recently visited neighborwood and had an amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious, with authentic Syrian flavors that truly stood out. Every dish was well-prepared and packed with flavor. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The ambience of the restaurant was warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxing dining experience. I highly recommend neighborwood to anyone looking for great halal food in a lovely setting!" Syrian Chips and shawarma wraps are must try dish.

Excellent food and lovely service. Guy behind the counter brought us free tea with our food and a plate of chips for our friend who hadn't ordered anything, which was really nice. Would definitely recommend

I have just discovered this place after trying to find the best middle eastern food in the area. As a Palestinian I'm quite homesick and miss the taste of the Levant. Unexpectedly, only this place brought me back home with exceptional taste, food quality and portion size. It's not as expensive as anywhere else even though it tastes so much better! I don't know how I haven't been here before it's amazing! Looking forward to returning soon. Thank you so much for your delicious food and hospitality! Jazakum Allahu Khair

The best food in Edinburgh. I'm extremely fussy when it comes to middle eastern food and have tried every restaurant from Sofia's to Beirut in Edinburgh yet the food quality (even though cheaper and doesn't have the unnecessarily fancy look of the others) is hands down the best I've ever had. It's authentic Syrian food, the most delicious mezze and meat I have had, and the most reasonable price. I have finally found the one!

I loved it here. The people who work here are so kind, the food is delicious and it comes in generous portions.

Lovely lovely staff made my night yesterday. Food was delicious and so nicely presented. I could see and taste the care that went into it. Will definitely be back!

This is my favourite local eatery. I've had occasional takeaway but I like to sit-in, especially for delicate dishes whose presentation perhaps doesn't travel well e.g. Muhammara. Whether you're in the mood for something light, such as 'small plates' and salads or something more substantial such as Shawarma Meal, you'll find something nice. The reception is always very warm and friendly and you never feel rushed. If you're a music fan, be sure to have Shazam on your phone to help identify some of the sounds played. If you're travelling any distance from Leith Walk you'll find it right at the Balfour Street tram stop or close to the Balfour Street bus stop.

Very tasty, well seasoned and fresh. Made to order when I requested a mixed shawarma plate. Fattoush is to die for! Falafel shawarma comes with a beautiful hummus. Absolutely recommend this place, will return time and time again.

Very affordable and delicious food! The handmade wraps are worth going back for, and they're open late so perfect for after you've been out for a few drinks.

Well enjoyed!! randomly went in and got what I paid for , well fed and exquisite food the chicken shawarma is the best Iv had in Edinburgh . Had the shawarma on the hummus which was 10/10. Koftes fresh not frozen . Shish tawook banging .nice rice , lovely bread and service was even better very attentive .

They have a downstairs area as well and the food is one of the best middle-eastern cuisine in edinburgh. would recommend their broasted chicken and arabic shawarma meal 🌷

Not sure if there is other places with same cuisine in Edinburgh, but this place has amazing food, you taste the real Arabic style there 👌

Incredibly tasty Middle Eastern food! Their lamb shawarma is generously portioned with warm and succulent lamb meat and delicious Syrian chips. Their fried chicken is also excellent, with a flavourful crispy batter and with juicy chicken on the inside. Highly recommend this place, absolutely bang for your buck

5 star service, difficult to choose food, because it is all very good. I recommend it 100% thanks I will come back many more times for sure

If you are looking for an excellent Syrian food in Edinburgh, I highly recommend this place!! The service and food is excellent ! Thank you very much for everything! (From Venezuela).

This place has the best Syrian food in Edinburgh. Amazing service, the food is spectacular. Really love this place.

AWESOME SHAWARMA. Perhaps my favourite in all of Edinburgh. The chicken or lamp shawarma plate is excellent with vegetables and incredible meat with lovely presentation and really great garlic sauce. Highly recommend. All halal of course.

One of the best Shawarmas I’ve had in years! We had Shawarma, Shish Tawook and Fatoush, all surpassed our expectations, fresh, delicious with great quality ingredients. 100% recommended!

Best Shawarma in Edinburgh !! 😍😍😍

We really enjoyed our experience, the food was great and the service was fab. The team is lovely as well. I guess we'll be back for more!

I had a beef shawarma and it was very delicious

Ate here for the first time tonight after moving to the neighbourhood recently from Canada. The first few bites made me emotional, as amazing food sometimes does. Just delicious. This is definitely going to be a regular spot

The most delicious shawarma I have ever eaten in Edinburgh! Without a doubt!

Could be the best shawarma in Edinburgh and closest to the traditional taste

The brothers who run this business are so respectful and so sweet , the food is amazing all made fresh as you order , I love the food from there so much , recommend this place, they seating upstairs and downstairs too if you want in or takeaway .

We came across this place by chance, looking for something with an open kitchen. We were surprised by the amount of food and the price, everything was very good.

Amazing Family business:) Delicious food done the Syrian way and it is done very very well:) hot sauce can be hotter but other than that it was a delicious meal and a fun experience 😁

Good food but small and unfortunately the ventilation doesn't work... so eat outside...

The restaurant is quite and nicely decorated. The Lamb Shawarma is too too much oily and the salad was cutting not fresh. So it is 👎 for us. The price is not worth for our orders. Hope to improve the quality of food. Never ever try it again oily and non-fresh meat and salad.

Best place in Leith. Open late, staff are lovely, portions are huge and the price is very good. Nice atmosphere too, very relaxed. Falafel wrap meal is my faviourite, with pomegranate sauce. Mmmhmmm

Super fresh and flavourful meal!! Unassuming on the outside but great place for a meal. Also great value for the price, would recommend the mango juice!

We came here for an easy lunch and had the best meal we’ve had in ages. The shawarma was delicious and a bargain as well, my partner loved his shawarma plate. we left with full, happy bellies.

Both the shawarma plate and wrap were very tasty and fresh! Highly recommend

Great food after a semi-late night with friends

Genuinely one of the best shawarmas in Edinburgh. Ask for it the Syrian way to get it classic - the garlic sauce is exceptional.

Excellent food and service and economical

I keep coming back for their delicious food and always have good music playing 10/10 thank you

Amazing falafel wrap! Best I've had in ages

30 mins no food no explanation and told too keep waiting as others were served after

One of the best shawarma plate I have ever had

Excellent and clean Those who provide high morals in dealing
