Ola Kala in Edinburgh, City of

Excellent food and friendly staff. Portion size as you would expect from a proper Greek restaurant(huge). This place isn’t posh but but it’s great food and the owner is a proper character. Thank you for a lovely meal

9 of our family had a weekend in Edinburgh and were looking for a restaurant near to our hotel, we all like Greek so this was the obvious choice. Both the welcome and the food was fantastic, both in terms of quantity and also quantity.

It was absolutely brilliant. Great price, great location and phenomenal food! Would recommend to absolutely anyone in the area!

Gorgeous authentic Greek food at such a reasonable price in Edinburgh. Portions are huge and the Greek soft drinks are a hit too. We’ll definitely be back 🤩

This gets great reviews but the food is poor. Not real Greek. It is fast food and poor quality. I do not recommend at all go elsewhere.

Best Greek food I have ever had! We dined here for dinner twice during our vacation and it was the best food we found in Edinburgh. Kind and lighthearted manger/owner and staff who always warmly welcomed us and showed us gracious hospitality. The staff were only outshined by the delicious food, this place is one in a million. We recommend the gyro skewers! The only bad thing is that there aren’t 100’s of these places!

Tasty food, but serious hygiene issues. I watched the chef, wearing gloves, take garbage bags out of the restaurant and come back in with the same gloves to prepare food. Not acceptable. Will not return here.

Food excellent but not an ideal sit in experience as we had a constant door opening experience with delivery folk arriving for take aways. Decor very basic but staff very nice just more of a takeaway place than a restaurant

Excellent Greek "fast-food". I went there for dinner twice, had the (half) mixed grill the first time and the pork gyro the second time. Both were great. The gyro seemed to be like the real thing - I had one at first but couldn't resist from having one more. I also very much liked the Greek orange juice in the blue can which had no fizz and tasted like fresh one. The prices are on the low side.

Went to Greece this year and couldn’t stop thinking about the gyros over there and didn’t think id find somewhere in Edinburgh that was just as good but now I have! 10/10 the server even gave me some baklava to try which was really good but the pork gyros were amazing

Great little authentic Greek restaurant providing fast, friendly service and generous, tasty plates of food. Also caters for vegetarian and vegan.

Food was sensational, so fresh and tasty. Owners where lovely and really friendly. Would definitely recommend the Crispy Chicken Gyros Meal with the veg and halloumi.

Het is een klein tentje, met wat tafeltjes. Ze zijn voornamelijk bedacht op afhalen of thuis bezorgen, maar de gastheer is super vriendelijk. Het eten echt by far zo lekker!

This place must be good in the past, as this was the worst Greek food restaurant I have ever had. And it had good reviews and rating somehow. Meat was reheated and dry, I had to stop eating as worried about health and safety. Chip? I had better chips reheating overnight microwaved frozen chips at home, I would not consider what they cooked restaurant quality or chips at all (especially comparing with all the nice chips in the UK) Tomato was soggy, consist with rest of the food presented. Staff seems not fluent in English, good chance he gets so many bad reviews from customer and he had no responses and he agrees.

Food was absolutely delicious. Excellent service and friendly staff. First time visiting and will definitely be back.

Lucky to get the last table early in evening Great busy atmosphere Staff friendly efficient and informative Wide choice of Greek dishes all superbly cooked

Very nice place, excellent staff and fantastic food!! Highly recommended. We had the mixed grill with tasteful starters. Very tasty indeed!

We got the platter and it was some of the best food we had in all of the UK! Everything was cooked perfectly and seasoned so well! The sausages are a must!!! Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic family meal from Ola Kala Grill & Deli The food was Amazing . so fresh and tasty and made us feel as if we were in Greece on holiday. We had a mix of starters , the Dolmadakia , stuffed vine leaves were the nicest I’ve ever had , and I’m fussy about my vine leaves , & the assorted Greek pies were so fresh and delicious. We had a lovely mix of mains , the country sausage heap ( the best sausages ever ) , chicken Gyros , slow roasted skewers meal & the dill & tomato roasted giant beans protein salad ( vegan ) , all were delicious . The olives and dips all tasted amazing as well. We ordered desserts but had to have them later as we were so full from the starters and mains . When we did have them , wow , absolutely delicious.We tried the creamy Galakto Boureko, angels hair almond roll , zesty orange cake , moist walnut cinnamon cake & mix of juicy Greek treats . We ordered cherries & nuts yoghurt with thyme honey for breakfast the next day & it was so tasty. We bought some awarded extra virgin kalamaki olive oil as well as it comes from the family’s own groves & smells & tastes wonderful . The service was excellent & friendly . We would highly recommend Ola Kala if you want delicious authentic Greek food

We were very happy with our choice! Delicious Greek food & relaxed atmosphere. More than we could eat!

Amazing dinner at Ola Kala! It was such a great experience with our family of 8. The food was great and the service was equally spectacular.

Dangerous food. Sausage you undercooked. The spicy feta sauce was dried on the pita. Potatoes were hard and old, not eatable.

We ate here in a pre COVID visit to Edinburgh and loved it, so on our first visit since and we came back on our first night and we weren't disappointed. Had the robust salmon plate with added peppers and tomatoes and a glass of...

Excellent meal and service! We stopped in for dinner after a long day. Welcoming casual environment with just a few tables. The kababs and wraps were delicious.

Come here on a regular basis, been coming for well over a year now. Always fantastic service - the food is absolutely fantastic and cannot fault the food at any of our visits. Food is served to perfection and always a friendly atmosphere.

This place was great arrived and got welcomed with a smile and warm service from the gentleman taking orders we got seated and ordered he recommended we didn’t need to over order as portions were enough for two! And he was right the food was...

Excellent food, and service. I’d highly recommend it at lunch time after a night out! Large portions which are freshly cooked

Wow! Yum! I visited with my Greek colleague and it was excellent! We had souvlaki with chips pitta salad and tzatziki! It was delicious! So delicious! We also had kataifi which was like a green version of baklava - it was an almond filling surrounded...

I have been there several times but this is going to be the last one. Food was OK but has become pricey for a take away place. I find the staff rude in starring at people eating all the time. You can't eat in peace....

Absolute rip off! £16 for 4 chips, half a portions of chopped up chicken and some very questionable salad! DO NOT BUY FROM HERE!

Visited with my wife between Christmas and New Year, during our trip to Edinburgh. The place was very small and felt more like a takeaway with some seating so we were unsure on what our experience would be like. However, it is a hidden gem!...

6 of us - family and friends. Quick meal between World Cup Matches - and suddenly it felt like being transported to Greece. Food, service, atmosphere and value was fun and excellent - and when we left with a big smile after Gyros, Mythos, Fix...

When they say the Best Grill, they mean it. The staff was phenomenal, the food was somehow even better, and the place was cute! I cannot recommend going here enough. I’d have eaten more, but I was so full. Their meats down to their garlic...

Went in here for lunch and wasn’t disappointed at all, really nice food and all of us enjoyed. Had a mistake with the bill, but the owner couldn’t do enough to sort it out which was brilliant! Would recommend and will definitely be popping in...

We found this restaurant by chance and we were so glad that we did. Everything was made fresh and we washed it down with the house red which was excellent. Spoke to a fellow diner who said they come here every time they are in...

We came once again and as ever the food and service was amazing best mixed grill in Edinburgh so good we went back the next night can highly recommend. Greek beer and wonderful Greek food who could ask for more!

It's small, cozy, but my word does this place hit if for 6. My only regret was not having room for more food! Dolma are great, gyros are great, potions are - well greek. The service was very quick, from attentive and fun staff. Very...

Best kebab in Edinburgh! If your looking for fresh speedy authentic Greek food it’s worth the 20 minute walk from Princess street. The staff were happy and friendly and recommending in what food to have for the best experience. I have been to Greece but...

This tiny Cafe offers an assortment of Greek and Middle Eastern menu items, fast and friendly service, and indoor & outdoor seating. The Morrison St. location is very convenient to local shops, attractions, and transportation (Haymarket tram, train, bus). Our favorite was the mixed pork...

We ordered it for delivery. The pita was stale, the garlic bread was disgusting and the salad was really oily. I wouldn't recommend ordering for a takeaway.

The food here was delicious, authentic & great value for money. My partner had the half mixed grill (lots of food) and I had the gyros chicken wrap. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Lovely last evening of our trip to Edinburgh. For travellers...

Going to Greece in August and my partner wanted to sample the food he is likely to have. The food here is wonderful and the mixed grill was full of Greek sausages and meats. Nicely seasoned and topped with grilled tomatoes and peppers, stunning!! Tzatziki...

Small but powerful - this little greek spot is fantastic. Staff are lovely and the whole place gives out a very authentic vibe. Everything was delicious, my friend is a vegetarian and confirm 10/10 from both sides. Would go back just for that tzatziki..

We were disappointed. We got some gyro meat piled on top of old French fries, next to brown lettuce and mushy tomatoes. No really, day old friend fries. The place was empty and felt dirty. We paid 14 pounds for a gyro meal that was...

Very disappointed. Booked a table for four based on reviews. It was tiny with just a few tables and never ending stream of delivery drivers picking up kebabs. We were squashed in next to door which was opening and closing non stop. Food was no...

Was fantastic food, owner was as lovely. Great with children, massive portions and so tasty. I will 100% be back. Would Be great for casual sit in or take away.

Really kind owner who sorted my very basic order out as needed some food (blood sugar was low) but didn’t want all the usual add ones and spicy additions. A plain as they come mixed kebab wrap was still very tasty and did the job...

We love this place and must have ordered over 20 times, never a disappointment. We get the substantial gyros -chicken with halloumi and feta fries- im hungry just thinking about it!

We visited the restaurant on a saturday night and we could only recommend it. The owner has been incredibly nice and the service was fast. We ordered a full mix grill for 2 and the portion was large and delicious. Definitely one of the best...

So pleased that we booked for an early evening meal whilst staying in the Haymarket area. The grill is very small but run by delightful Manager and staff. We took the managers recommendation to go with our perfect Greek Salad ,made absolutely top class by...

An amazing little gem. Highly recommended. Honest great food that made want to stay all night, customer service amazing and made us feel right at home.

Excellent food Excellent customer service 3 mins from tram stop or train station. Very small but don’t let that put you off , we will definitely be back

I wish I lived close to this place and I would be there all the time! We were away in Edinburgh and wanted a place near our hotel so I found this little place thanks to TripAdvisor and it didn't disappointed! It was very small,...

Olakala - Its not far a walk from Haymarket. Its a small little place with about 7 tables for sit in or food can be taken away. We visited here for a lunch on a Tuesday at 1pm. We were greeted at the door and...

Not the best gyros in the city as most of people in Edinburgh are aware, but the only one that delivers at some, so no choice there when you wanna eat greek at your own comfort. I have ordered from this place many times the...

On n y serait pas rentré sans trip advisor mais nous aurions eu bien tort ! Patron sympa et surtout...

So we visited this restaurant/takeaway after putting into trip advisor “gyros” as that what we fancied for tea. A little walk out from the main area but definitely worth it. We were served by a lovey man who was really patient with us as we...

Best Greek meal eaten since we were in Greece Great atmosphere and food to die for . Nice glass of Ouzo to finish . Good value

Great food at good prices. Jason went the extra mile to make our visit special at this little gem. Pleased to support a little business.

We were staying close by this restaurant so booked a table for my wife and I for evening dinner having read the reviews here. First of all there is no need to book, certainly not on a Wednesday evening anyway as we had done, we...

Beautiful food - fantastic for vegetarians. We were in a rush so everything was delivered quickly and was absolutely lovely. Thanks

Ordered wrap gyros and fries with feta. Food was fairly good but fell short of expectations. Environment/Service not the friendliest.

I have been a loyal customer for the past couple of years but I have had a recent bad experience. For some reason, a recent order went astray as the address seems to have been changed, for an unknown reason, on Justeat I am not...

Absolutely delicious food we got the mixed grill platter to share and it was faultless! Really lovely service too, would highly recommend to anyone.

If you want to feel like you are back at home, this is the ONLY place you should go. Feels like I’m back in Greece, food is absolute perfection! Couldn’t be happier, brings back all my fondest memories of the most beautiful country and most...

We ate here twice. It didn't look overly enticing but it was much better than it looked at first glance. Once late a night for dessert. The walnut cake was delicious and we washed it down with a couple of ouzos which hit the spot....

I found this restaurant on trip advisor & booked a table for the family. We were very disappointed when we arrived, it is not a restaurant it is a take away with a table out the front! Whilst the owner was very friendly the food...

We had a delivery from Ola Kala and I had high expectations due to positive reviews from many food-loving friends, including Greek people. I don't know if part of the problem could be if the food was waiting for the courier too long, or they...

Amazing Gyros and staff, it was a very hot day so was the perfect fresh food for it as well as the lovely ice cold water thank you!! Will come again next time we are Edinburgh!

Delicious, juicy, mixed grill meats. We had the mixed half grill to share between us, which was just enough as we weren't super hungry. It would definitely feed one person if they were hungry though. Amazing food with great value for money. Also recommend the...

The food quality over the top! Friendly staff and fast service! Even the fries were fresh instead of the usual frozen ones that everyone else serves!

We absolutely loved this wee takeaway place, so much that we went back next day to eat again! Absolutely flavourful grilled dishes, very lovely service and OMG, pork gyros is just fab!!! We truly love Greek dishes and have been to many islands and other...

The fact that people will queue outside this little establishment shows there are loyal customers who will come back time and time again. I visited on a Thursday lunch time where there already a few people waiting on their food. I ordered inside with my...

So me and my other half are in Edinburgh and both days we have gone here for dinner. Its simply simply best food we have ever tasted!

Incredible food superb service even in these difficult covid times. The olives are among the best I ever tasted. Would not hesitate to eat there again. The food almost made me emotional as in it made me miss being able to go abroad it tasted...

We had the mixed gyros. Decent portions for the price And it was tasty. The staff were very Friendly and quick to serve. We sat outside due to the restrictions.

It is our second time ordering takeaway, hoping it would be better, but sadly no. Each time we order our gyros with extra tzatziki because otherwise it's too dry, but both of the times we receive our gyros with almost missing tzatziki, making the gyros'...

Never been in but have had plenty of Deliveroo takeaways from here and they’ve been fantastic, another appeal is that they’re a much cheaper takeaway than the usual expensive Thais / pizzas

After having tasted most of Edinburgh's takeaways (not wanting to spend a fortune, though) serving vegetarians, we came across this cafe. and so lucky we did. After a very long time, we really en-jo-yed Veggie ordering. Flavourful, heartly, delicious! A well deserved 5*

What an amazing treat we had today AT THE PARK!!!!! We ordered kebabs main courses, a salad and a wonder plate called halloumi -dips and pitas. and sure it was!!! full of flavour with different dips, olives and halloumi pieces!!! Kebabs were tasty and juicy. Chips were the real stuff!! We were even spotted immediately from the delivery guy (although i thought we r going to miss that one :) a park is not where we normally get our delivery. I will order again and again and i heartily recommend these guys!

I love this Resturaunt!!The food takes me back to Greece just by the smells before I even take a bite.My husband and I, on our 39th wedding anniversary, ordered a delivery from Ola Kala as we wouldn’t be getting our trip to Greece due to the pandemic.We ordered an All Round Mixed Grill, a portion of gigantes and some Htipiti (spicy cheese dip). The portions were very generous and the quality great. Easily enough for 4.My only criticism is that the website, although overall very good, I found impossible to select the delivery option rather than pick up and had to phone the Resturaunt to sort that out. However the gentleman I spoke to sorted it out immediately, was very friendly and everything arrived on time, in tip top condition and with a very cheery delivery driver. Definitely the go to for Greek food in Edinburgh x

First let me say that I am Greek and this was by far the worst souvlaki I have ever had in my life. Let me explain why. The meat firstly did not taste fresh. The yellow colouring on the meat suggests it was kept in oil for a days. (A method used for preserving meat to last longer) I am a chef and I know. This is done when you cannot serve fresh meat due to not knowing the volume of work. The shape of the meat was perfecty flat small bars on a stick all stuck together as if it's one piece of meat suggesting that it comes like this from a factory. The taste was oily and had an intense meat smell. Something that is not present if meat is grilled as the fat burns off and the intense smell of pork goes and is replaced by a charcoal / grill odour. Obviously this meat is not grilled but processed on arrival and just flat pressed on a hot plate to warm it up ready to be served. This is just my theory unless your chef doesnt know to grill meat. Anyhow this is Unacceptable! Look at the photo and you judge for yourself if this a cubed pieces freshly cut/ grilled souvlaki or not. Souvlaki means small pieces of meat charred on a grill all round not one whole piece of flat meat.

We were so looking forward to our Greek meal from this highly rated establishment in Edinburgh. We made the order through Uber Eats. It came within the time that it said it would which was good, however we were extremely disappointed. We ordered the meat platter. The meat was over cooked, cold and stale. Maybe cooked hours before and tasted like it had sitting for a while? Pitta was dry. Halloumi was so disappointing. Chips were stale and clearly overcooked. Tomatoes were soggy. Presentation was awful - maybe get better takeaway boxes and not just throw all of the meat into one box? The dips were nice, however. So disappointing as we were really looking forward to it after reading great reviews.Would not recommend delivery.

The vegetable burger is a kind of soft mashed potato patty with a good amount of mixed vegetables in a breadcrumb. It comes prepared with nice fresh slices of tomato, some salad leaves which looked like maybe spinach or similar, and your choice of sauce. It also has some french fries in it!! - all wrapped in a delicious kind of flatbread I think (much nicer than a plain fajita).It is quite simply delicious and I'm buying regularly as a meal. Satisfying, healthful and soooo good!!The sauces you can choose from include a tzatziki I'm told is great, and a paprika/pepper one I have as vegan.I also enjoy the salads and breads.Thank you Ola Kala!! so tasty with all the veggies, breads, and sauces.ps the thermal bag is good at keeping it warm - it's always been a good temperature on delivery

After waiting a lengthy hour, we were called by the driver. Who claimed he was unable to meet us at the arranged location for contact free food collection. His English was very minimal which made it close to impossible to communicate with him. The words I could make out were “boots””Pizza Hut” and “north bridge”. So I headed in that direction. 5 minutes into my freezing cold walk he called to tell me to hurry up because he was parked illegally in a bus stop. I exclaimed that because he had parked so far away that he would have to wait. After finally reaching him, he was shocked to see me when I knocked on the window to collect food. He opened the door and handed the food to me, which I physically felt was already stone cold. Which left me for a disappointing 10 minute walk back to my hotel knowing I would be tucking into some freezing cold Greek food yum. When I finally got back to the hotel I was hungry. We opened the various items we had ordered to find a disappointing mush of food in very small portions. We felt that the food was inedible and it was pretty much just a stodge of food. Already raging after my freezing cold walk I rang the restaurant to complain to which they said there was nothing they could do about a refund due to it being ordered through just eat. To add insult to injury the restaurant charged a £2 delivery fee. It would have been easier for me to collect it. Even our dog turnt his nose up to a piece of the food, so something isn’t adding up here as he is a Labrador...So I advise all readers to not order from this restaurant via “Just Eat”.

I ordered a takeaway via uber eats and was very happy. Generous portions, very tasty with a good range in general. Was also prepared quickly, would definitely recommend.

Pedí dos veces para la entrega y la segunda vez que ordené fue porque pensé que habían tenido un mal día en mi primer pedido. Pero aparentemente, como comentó otro usuario, ¡no saben cómo cocinar comida griega y lo que sirven no es griego!La carne seca, el pan de pita seco y las patatas fritas se sienten como si los hubieran cocinado el día anterior.¡Yo mismo soy griego y no apruebo esta comida!Pensé en pedir por tercera vez solo para darle una oportunidad, pero lo aprobaré.

Así que teníamos una comida para llevar. Comí una ensalada griega, que estaba como un recipiente chino y tenía un valor de 8; esto era realmente demasiado caro y por qué mi calificación es mucho más baja. Quiero decir, fue agradable, pero para 8 eso es mucho, luego comí panes pitta con algunas salsas, esta fue una comida excelente, pero casi 20 para una persona, la comida para llevar es mucho, no regresaría porque es tan caro, me encanta una ensalada griega, pero por una caja pequeña - 8 il la hago yo mismo.

Pedí comida para llevar con Deliveryoo, obtuve una oferta de giroscopios para 2 y recibí un kebab turco seco y sin sabor. Los pasteles dulces estaban empapados en almíbar de azúcar y no eran comestibles.Es una decepción y no es nada barato, nada que ver con la comida griega.

Alimentos de primer nivel. La comida fue absolutamente asombrosa. Solíamos comer en un griego en bellshill, pero viajamos desde Airdrie cuando nos enteramos de que era un sustituto cercano. Es seguro decir que no nos decepcionó. La comida era excelente y el servicio fantástico. Definitivamente vendría de nuevo. No puedo recomendar la parrillada mixta lo suficiente. También sirven una cerveza griega encantadora (Mythos).

Somos clientes habituales de Ola Kala y hemos venido todos los domingos como un regalo durante los últimos meses. Los Wraps son fantásticos, recién hechos, refrescantes y abundantes, y el baklava también es excelente, también una pequeña selección de vino y cerveza griegos. Una excelente opción para el almuerzo o la cena si se encuentra en el área de Haymarket. Recomendaría envolver gyros de cerdo con Hallumi :)

Con un cumpleaños especial en la familia, queríamos celebrarlo en casa y pedimos una entrega de la comida griega favorita de la cumpleañera de Ola Kala.La comida y la cerveza se entregaron a tiempo, la comida era súper sabrosa y auténtica, las cervezas bien frías. ¡Todo lo que faltaba era un mar azul brillante y un sol cálido y brillante!Gracias Konstantinos y a todos en Ola Kala, ¡hicieron que nuestro día fuera maravilloso!

Solo quiero agradecerle por el servicio rápido de deliciosa comida griega esta noche. . Conduje desde Bathgate, me detuve en el área de Slateford para telefonear en mi pedido y lo recogí 15 minutos después. . Tenía una caja caliente en el coche para mantenerlo caliente y valió la pena el esfuerzo. . Esta debería haber sido nuestra última noche de vacaciones en Rodas, así que sentimos que necesitábamos algo de comida griega. . . ¡Yammass! ! ?????????

Hoy pedí una entrega a Ola Kaka. Hemos estado encerrados desde el 23. 3 y esta fue mi primera comida no casera desde entonces. He estado viajando a Grecia durante 35 años y esta fue la auténtica comida griega en su forma más simple y mejor.¡Nos encantó! Dakos en particular.No era el más experto en hacer pedidos en línea, pero cuando llamé para aclarar algunas cosas obtuve un gran servicio personalizado.Me encantó, no puedo recomendar más

Nice Greek hostage with authentic Greek food in the heart of Edinburgh. I was happy to try the restaurant's gyros

Very nice takeaway serving good food, seating is a little tight especially if you are disabled. Tasty kebabs, probably the best in the area but variety is limited.
