I’d love to make some comment here about the quality of the food, but I never got to try it. Two of us went in and ordered mixed kebabs, after 10/15 mins one of us was served, of course I naively expected mine to come pretty quickly. After 5 mins I asked the waiter where mine was, he went to the kitchen and an arguement seemed to ensure with lots of pointing at our table, then he came over as said my order had been sent to someone else and they were making me another one (fair enough mistakes happen). After 20 further mins, I said to the waiter I’d now waited longer than the original order took, twice I asked to speak to the manager and twice he just looked over at us and literally walked the other way. I understand that mistakes happen, but was is appalling is pretending they haven’t happened and managers or owners just ignoring it. If you want my advice, visit somewhere that values your custom more

Food average. Prices average. Service good. 5 small potato wages with a kebab dish? Situated in a busy location. Visited once but doubt again. Bad fat smell in premises. Good job windows were open

Awful. Kofta dripping in fat and contains no seasoning at all, it’s just a ball of meat! Cous cous is just rice, chicken is poor quality and not breast meat. Salad is smothered in cheap dried herbs. Houmous is laughable. I would recommend a late night kebab elsewhere if you’re after something to line the stomach. Owner seems more interested in “look at me” parading around factor rather than what terrible food they’re serving.

This BRILLIANT little bistro, tucked away in Teviot Place, thoroughly DESERVES its consistently-high reputation. You feel you are part of their family, as you receive special and personal service; nothing is too much trouble for them to 'tweak' dishes slightly to suit YOUR personal preference. Fabulous food, reasonably priced, and really pleasant atmosphere, Olly's truly deserves its place at the very TOP of eateries in Edinburgh, to be visited and thoroughly enjoyed, over and over again.

What a hidden gem! Olly Bongo's is my go to place to eat out in Edinburgh. Excellent for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I came here over the weekend with three friends and the grilled chicken was delicious. I also recommend the meze and they had a fantastic breakfast menu. Get there early to grab a window seat. I used to live in Greece and this is the best Greek food in the city. This place is excellent for student, excellent for kids, excellent for friends and excellent for couples.

Olly Bongo's has the most delicious food in all of Edinburgh! What we did was order 5 main meals between 4 of us and share. This was a great way to try lots of dishes. It is also fantastically priced and only came to £11 each and we had so much food that was just delicious! I really recommend the meze - absolutely delicious and great for a healthy lunch or to share along with your main meal! There were also so many healthy options. The staff are so friendly and were happy to move tables around because we ordered so much food we needed another table to fit it all on! I am so happy they are open again, I couldn't recommend enough :) This is a great place if you are on a budget, want a inexpensive breakfast/lunch/dinner, friendly staff, and the most delicious food in Edinburgh

Lovely little place where the whole staff couldn't have made us more welcome. Having been to two excellent Greek restaurants in Germany in the past we were astounded by the quality of the two meals we ordered.

Tiene un baño turco medio tema oriental y es un ambiente compacto pero agradable. Mi familia tenía varios bocadillos que todos estaban bien, pero las cosas todas llevó más tiempo de lo previsto, así que terminamos un poco apresurarse cosas hacia el final. Por desgracia se olvidaron de traerme mi pastas danesas y se nos acabó el tiempo así que tenía que ser cancelado. La camarera era muy agradable, pero quizás un poco acosadas como el lugar estaba lleno, y la zona de preparación es bastante pequeño. Si no hubiera tenido la presión de tiempo de un espectáculo de 12 horas, creo que hubiera sido bastante contentos con Olly Bongos, pero el servicio era un poco demasiado lento en el día.

I went there with my friends and they are used to the typical British food and liked there. Because of the alternative vibe of the place, with some middle eastern Influence, I was expecting a different menu. There's a lot of typical favourites: full British breakfast and baked potato. I went for falafel wrap with hummus and was a bit disappointed. Everything was a bit bland, mushy and on a small size. It costed almost £6 and I payed £7 with tips. I think it was overpriced since for £8 I can have a fantastic Korean meal with entré included for free, just a few blocks away. My friend had a 'French toast' with bananas. It comprised of two triangles of white bread (the cheapest you can buy) tipped in egg (which looked scrabbled) with some slices of banana on the side and a tiny container with some maple syrup in it. The best looking dish was the potato that was richly roped with all kinds of goodies. It looked delicious and had a good size as well. Maybe the best alternative if you are in a fixed budged. I will be coming back for coffee or tea and sweeties as it looks like is there speciality.

Was out on a day in Edinburgh and frankly had walked out of one very overpriced place and passed this cafe. Thought we would give it a try and were very plased we did. Being a bit of a traditionalist I have an English all day breakfast, not that exciting i agree but it was well cooked and tasty so no complaints from me. Wife and sister were a little more adventurous and went for greek/turkish cuisine and both loved it. May be a bit cramped and not exactly five star surrounding but if you want some good and wholesome food at a reasonable price I cannot recommend this place enough.

Really can't fault the food or service. Our waitress was very attentive and took our order promptly. I had a fantastic vegetarian dish and my partner had the soup of the day. Extremely reasonably priced - portion sizes were great! Only tiny criticism I could make is that the tables are probably too close to each other - though that might be in order to cultivate a certain cosmopolitan atmosphere that wasn't there on a quiet lunch time service. Extremely good place for lunch - would definitely recommend!

The place has a great and warm atmosphere and very nice decoration, the service is very good too and fast, even at the lunch time, but the meal was not so good. The soup was very tasty, but the chiken has seemed not cooked enough, and very salty. It is a nice place, but they must to care the details to be noted in an area full of restaurants.

If you want food that just came out of a tin or "traditional" recipes that do not even exist that is your place! I would not recommend it if you'd like to taste the Turkish cuisine.

Four of us dropped in here yesterday for breakfast, as it looked cozy and the prices on the outside menu looked good.A table of six people was waiting for their food.It was pretty cold inside, and we waiting quite awhile without getting any service. We were about to leave, when the busy and friendly waitress brought us menus and assured us that it would not take too long to be served.She was correct, and the food was good.Two of us had the big British Breakfast...plenty of good food.All in all, it was pretty good, but it could have been a bit warmer inside.

Not all the prepossessing a sight, from the outside, once you open the door you'll find yourself in a wonderfully colourful and slightly exotic space.I found it, by chance, early on a Sunday morning and am very, very happy I did!There's an excellent breakfast menu (which is what i was seeking) and the home blend coffee is superb!I ordered the American Breakfast but it was nothing like the one that someone described as being a foot high, with a cherry on the top.' It was a plate full of excellent bacon, perfectly scrambled eggs and lots of toast!Olly Bongo's could teach the Yanks a thing or three, I'm thinking!I think I might have been its first customer but, not so far into my delicious repast, in came The Others, who know where there's going to be good value and an harmonious atmosphere.I shall return!

I came back here four or five times during our trip in Edinburgh to have a breakfast or brunch. This restaurant is lovely. I loved the sofa and we always sat down near on the window which is actually opened and you feel like your at home.Their breakfast is nice and cheap. I always ordered their pancake with bacon and Americano coffee and it actually taste good. The staff are very nice. A lot of people actually came here and more people comes here every time we visit. I think the price of the food is reasonable too. For more two orders of pancake and coffee, it cost me around 6.50 GBP (not bad).

we found this place by chance as all the main areas were full or we had to wait over an hour to eat. It is well placed and has excellent service. The menu is small but what we had was very good, as was the wine. It's a mix of tastes but well worth it as it was not expensive.

Trying to find a lunch spot in Edinburgh during the festival is a nightmare. Even the average eateries.So I was a little surprised to find myself at a table at this restaurant which had been recommended. Still, don't look gift horse etc. Well positioned beside McEwan hall and the Gilded balloon festival venue. Windows were open and it was a pleasant place to sit and have my beer. Perhaps at £3.20 a pop, the shine was taken slightly off it. Service was OK, perhaps the festival numbers had impacted on a smile. Nacho starter was big and did what it said on the tin. Pretty tasty. I should have stopped there. I had the chicken shish kebab. It was pretty uninspiring. Perhaps I chose on an off day. Salad was dried out and the chicken was over cooked, dry, and chewy. Finding a good place for lunch in this area is a challenge. Perhaps I was just unlucky and may try again sometime.

But not jump-out fantastic food. Quirky cafe with wide range of foods and a local clientele, service could be better.

We eat regularly in Edinburgh and love the choice of international cuisine. This is one of our all time favourites. The food is cooked fresh with plenty of salad. The kebabs, koftas and meze are wonderfully seasoned and the moussaka is homemade-served with delicious wine. The pancakes are amazing. You can also get a great cup of coffee. Very friendly service. In addition, it costs us at least half of any other restaurant we visit.

Told the restaurant that they are breaking the licensing law as they do not display the size measure for wine along with the price on the menu, or in the restaurant.This is against the Licensing Act 2003 (October 2014 amendments).Reported to council to check they comply.

Ordered the Istanbul special no 3, which is basically a mixed grill on top of a margarita pizza, with stir fried vegetables and a cheese burger and fries. The food was very reasonably priced and delicious. The staff are friendly and efficient. Very good service and very good value for money. Definitely reccomended.

Delicious food, attentive staff, authentic flavors of the Mediterranean. Lively area. Small restaurant, so book ahead. Frequented by local - which is always a good sign!

Rude service. Overcharge what the menu says then blames customer for misinderstanding menu which has hidden costs. Why bother supporting local when local just cares about drunk peoples money. Wouldnt go here with free voucher.
