Very disappointing-- I should have been clued in when asking for "spanakopita" and the server didn't understand what I wanted ("you mean the spinach and feta pie?"). It arrived and it was like floppy, dense leather sandwich that I couldn't even cut into. If this was once a good Greek restaurant, it isn't anymore.

Super nice and super friendly place. The food was delicious and the olives are the best I've ever tasted outside of Greece. We had four different dishes and every single bite was a blast! Loved it. Definitely coming back. Top recommendation! 🫠🥰😋

This is a lovely small restaurant. The food was amazingly delicious. We were a group of four and shared Halloumi and Pittas with four different dips and a mixed grilled meat platter. Everything was delicious and service was fantastic, I would suggest make a booking, but they also do take away and uber.

From what I saw the food looked good. The attitude of the staff from the moment we stepped in the door was awful. It was fairly busy but we were made to feel unwelcome outsiders. We ordered. We were told to wait on the street outside. We waited. We waited. We waited. For over 20mins. They then bought out the wrong food and thrust it at me. After checking inside he came back and said order was done wrong and we would need to reorder. No apology. No offer of the original order at a discounted rate just a grunt. We declined to order again as had a show to get to and couldn’t wait another 20 mins. Left a lot to be desired.

A lot of people complain about the service in reviews here, it’s not something I found and were treated amazingly. I am very happy to take friends and family here and enjoy the authentic experience. If you like Olives, get them here. Just trust me, GET THE OLIVES. Thanks, I will be back

The person who took my order at the shop was very rude and had this terrible attitude even though the menus are attrocious to read for a customer. I ordered my food for take out and waited inside until it was finished. During that time I saw other to go orders being boxed and given out with plastic wear without the customer requesting it (common sense if you're getting food to go is that you need utensils). When it was time for me to recieve my food, the server was just wierd and rude with me and made it awkward to stay in there a minute longer than I needed. I didn't realize until I got to my hotel that the food contained no napkins or plastic wear for eating which is silly to say the least considering they gave it to others without it being requested. Would not recommend this place to anyone.

A very disappointing experience for me, the attitude of the staff made our whole family feel discriminated against, it was very difficult and we were afraid to talk the whole time. We were tourists and didn't know much about the shop, and asked questions and suggestions during the ordering process. As a result, the staff here was impatient and had a very cold and forceful attitude. I would have confronted him, but my family were too scared of the restaurant 's attitude to say anything. It's the first time I've been treated like this in all the years I've been in the UK and it was so disappointing. If you are relatively new to this shop, please go round as they don't have the patience to wait for you and give you a smile to make you feel comfortable. My brother (6 years old) has low blood sugar and had a very hard time walking all the way to find this shop, he was about to faint out, we were very worried and gave him a packet of desserts we had bought at the tourist stop on the way (we didn't know this shop had the same desserts, we are very sorry about that), being reminded of this we were very sorry for packing up the little desserts. And said we would be more than happy to buy desserts from this shop and expressed our sincere apologies.

The service and quality of the food is second to none.

This place is so dirty, absolutely disgusting. I accidentally saw the kitchen after I ate 🤢if I only knew I would just leave. Cold garlic bread (it’s a Tesco pre baked baguette soaked in oil with garlic). Edible tzatziki at least. Cold, baked in the morning potatoes, cold pita. No idea how this place has so many good reviews. It has nothing to do with proper Greek food. Stuff is friendly. Avoid.

I’m from Utah where this is a strong Greek presence and a lot of great Greek food. And Ola Kala exceeded expectations. After dinner I left thinking about when I can come back. I got the Gyro plate which was more than enough to make me full (after the baklava of course) and my wife got the simple gyro and both were amazing. Also great prices and great quantities.

Raised in a Greek Neiborgood in NY and now living in Ireland with a lack of Greek resteraunts, this by far is the best Greek Restaurant I have ever been to. Reminded me of my chikdhood and I will admit having flown from Cork and back in the same day just to come here. Anyone from the States and anywhere else wanting a traditional greek meal definately make this a part of your Edinburgh stay. This place needs a Michelin Star.

I've eaten here before and it was nice, but I just had it delivered and it was inedible. Very fast delivery, but I was clearly served the dregs of the day. The meat was OK at best, and the potatoes were so hard and dry I'm surprised I didn't break a tooth. Picture is of a roast potato if you can believe it.

An important part of my life here in Edinburgh. Kostas has succeeded in creating a Greek kafeneío in Haymarket, a truly authentic experience of Greek hospitality and food. Many Greek restaurants etc make good food, but fall short of the warmth and casual professionalism that Ola Kala provides so effortlessly. My vegetarian friend and I have been regulars at Ola Kala since about October. The amount of food we end up ordering is pretty comical, but it's a testament to how good everything is that we struggle to narrow it down. Having lived on Paros for a while, I know that Ola Kala is somewhere I can take people to introduce them to Greek food knowing they'll have the best first experience (short of actually going to Greece) of not only Greek food, but of Greek filoxenía (hospitality).

Greek food is fantastic and these guys know how to cook it. A very simple and small restaurant that does good food well. Our host was able to guide us through the menu and put together a fantastic sharing selection for 3 hungry guys. And do you want feta with that? Of course you do! Our stand out dish was the baked feta. Spread it on the garlic bread and you won’t be disappointed. Enjoy.

The selection of whisky is great and the food was alright but felt it was way overpriced for the quality we received. We were also charged £8 twice for one portion of the haggis bon bons (apparently this is some kind of a service charge, ridiculous we had to pay double for one small dish) Seems like a tourist trap to be honest and I don't think we will be back. There are so many better bars with more reasonable prices and better service.
