Oriental Delight in Edinburgh, City of

Ordered this and was given a 1 hour delivery slot. When that time, plus 25 minutes had passed, I called the restaurant to be told my order was ‘just finished cooking’ and would be another 15-20 minutes. However, it turned up 5-10 minutes later. I speculate that it had been ready, forgotten about and hastily reheated when I called. The starters were rubbery and lacking in flavour. The mains tasteless. The chips cold. Total waste of money and mostly went in the bin.

chicken in meal was inedible hard as rock and only some pieces covered in sauce

amazing food. super tasty and worth the price. my new go to 👍

the spare ribs were dry and overcooked

Gave me chips and cheese instead of chips and sauce. Cheese was all solid with the chips. My only complaint, everything else was class

The shredded beef and chilli sauce had no sauce at all and was so dry, worst I have ever had.

Recently moved to the area this is me and my partners 3rd time this week using here and it’s our new favourite so much so that he finished work and said can we please order again! lol. Amazing quality food and the delivery lady is also very lovely. Great experience

Found something strange looking in the rice. The chips were awful, shocked that they even served them. Everything else ordered was poor, wont be ordering again.

Best Chinese take away I've had in the area for a long time. Much better than Mr So.

This evening I ordered their crispy duck and sweet and sour pork among other menu items. The food hit the spot and was one of the best I have had in the area. Customer service was excellent even in the late evening and super quick. I definitely recommend as a late night meal. 10/10.

Been ordering from here for a while now and the quality was excellent however this time it was very poor.

Usually great service but unfortunately the food we received was hard and inedible. There were no chillis or onions on the salt and chilli chips and everything felt like had been recooked from the night before

Good quality, tasty food, and nice and hot when it arrived, which was a nice surprise. I was warned delivery tracking wouldn't be available,but I got no notification that foodwas being prepped, so uncertain what was happening with my order.

the order was wrong but I called and it was rectified very quickly. Great service

Always a Lovely meal . Thank you

Ordered for 4 people the food was tasty fresh and came in a reasonable time. Quite reasonably priced too.

Food was great, came in tube, polite and courteous delivery guy

Second time we ordered from the place and couldn’t be happier! Made fresh and properly, best salt chilli chips as well! Will be our new go to Chinese takeaway!

Super fast delivery and good food!

Delicious food, fab & friendly staff

Delish! First time in ages ordering a take away & was so delighted, hot, crispy & tasty. Thanks!

Food was very nice Will order again

that food was over cooked and dried up.

excellent food , full of flavour and a great service , food arrived hot ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

what food??? not been delivered yet

Food great as ever. What’s really impressive is that all the crunchy stuff is still crunchy when it arrives.

Very good, we really enjoyed it

Great food , great portions arrived hot .. excellent ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

never order through uber eats i never received my order after waiting outside for 45 after delivery time for it! Very disappointed

Best munchie boxes in Edinburgh!

one of the best Chinese takeaways in leith

chips were the worst chips I've actually ever had and also forgot my Curry sauce and by time the redelivered , my chips and rice were cold. curry was awful too . never buying from here ever again. even had the cheek to ask if I wanted my curry sauce delivered now or later. ridiculous service and terrible food

Absolutely terrible takeaway Chips are grim and always forgetting items. Forgot my curry sauce today and then had the cheek to ask me if I wanted it now or later ? My meal be cold by time it arrives. Avoid this takeaway at all costs

Singapore fried rice was nearly all rice and hardly any chicken, prawns or char sui. I was very disappointed as I've been a customer for a long time and hope that counts for something.

Good portions, everything hot and tasted good. Delivery lady super friendly. Will use again.

Staff very friendly, chicken fried rice not bad better if the chicken was of higher quality for the price you pay, chicken balls in batter looked like they had been re-heated in old oil to the extent that the outer batter was dark burnt orange in colour not light and fluffy and the corners of the chicken inside we're way over cooked due what I can be 100% sure these balls we're re-heated not pleasant at all thumbs down from me no quality control sadly (the seagulls enjoyed them though and the chicken from the fried rice)

Great food. Lovely delivery staff

Food was great. Salt and chilli chips were amazing, fried rice was really nice and chicken curry was tasty with lots of chicken. Fab customer service too when I enquired about an item on the menu - 10/10.

Delicious food, good value. Delivered early and wit care ❤️

food is cold, soggy and they forgot something from my order. they were also late. tried calling up but no answer

I ordered crispy shredded beef and the beef was not crispy at all, but was soggy and the honey and chilli sauce was like water and the onions undercooked. Was pretty disgusting to eat so it went in the bin. Total waste of money and I WILL NOT won't be ordering from there again in the future.

on time and great food , great portions . 👍👍👍

Lemon chicken was like charcoal rock solid over cooked! Most watery curry sauce I’ve ever had the whole munchies box over cooked

Food was delivered early, they gave us extra spring rolls and food was good!

We have been using this takeaway each time we come to Edinburgh for over 2 Years now, This week, it was a big let down. we ordered one Roast Pork with BBQ sause and one Beef Curry with chips, every bit of pork was so hard it had to go in the bin, and the curry had lots of like white thickening powder spots, very disappointing and we will not be using this takeaway again.

Food quality was good although fired rice was given instead of chips that were ordered

Speedy delivery. Authentic flavours. Duck was a bit dry however would definitely order again.

Delicious every time. Love it!

Food was great! Tasted amazing and all was nice and hot. Also they gave us a box of spring rolls for free!

At last an excellent chinese in Leith, will be back.

My all-time favourite Chinese takeaway. Never disappoints! 🤩

Great delivery. But no idea how this is the top Chinese in the area! More moisture in the Sahara desert than the shredded chilli beef I ordered.

Very tasty food, this is our favourite takeaway! speedy delivery too!

possibly the worst chinese meal ive ever had unfortunately

accidentally left a 4 star review last time, meant to be 5

they don't read a note when I do order , also old food witch too many salt on top , disgusting,

Great food and very quick delivery!

Usually really good but this time was disappointing - order was wrong and tasted very salty and bland.

Friendly staff and really quick collection order. Got food and tasty. Order direct for better prices! Easy to get hold of on the phone after I made a mistake on my order too.

Great food and lovely delivery driver!

Ordered a munchie box everything was rock solid and over cooked felt like it had been sitting there for days springboks tasted burt was disgusting never had a problem with this chinese untill now

Such a cutie patootie was delivering our food xxxx

very polite service and good food

The food was so salty I couldn't eat it. Binned!!

Really fast delivery, nice food and affordable prices :)

So tasty! The salt and chilli chips were superb. Usually always disappointed with edinburgh Chinese takeaways but we all really enjoyed the food. Delivery was also quick! Will definitely order again from here.

amazing this is one of the better restaurants I have ever orderd from .

Forgot my sweet & sour sauce with my chicken balls

I ordered from here recently and I loved the food. We had two mains, side dishes and salt n chilli chips. Chips were a little too spicy for me but my partner loved them. I 100% use this restaurant again. Service normally arrives before or on time. Never late. Great wee local place in Leith for Chinese takeaway food.

My order was a bit wrong but the food was still so good

Beef in black bean sauce and the Salt and chilli chicken was really nice. Definitely will order again.

Food was delivered early which is always a bonus, and even better the coca-cola came refrigerated.

Great tasty food, quick delivery

food is okay, my order was missing the prawn crackers

Just the best salt and chilli munchie box ever 10/10

Ordered a half duck (20 pancakes) and the hoisin sauce barely covered 6 pancakes. Also had to shed the duck myself.

The food is not at all up to the standard of Chinese restaurants, the place is visibly dirty and I don't understand how it can be open to the public. Nice owner.

Excellent food delivered piping hot

We were on the phone 2 times and when we got the food it saw cold the Bunche box was only half filled and the curry sauce was like soup will not be ordering from here again

food was really which was nice and this was the best Chinese delivery I've had in years. the ribs and skewers had plenty of sauce.

Don’t usually have any bad reviews for this place but tonight’s order came and was way below usual standard. The rice came wearing a hat and scarf it was that cold, the chicken balls were that burnt the chicken had ran away and the noodles were swimming in soy sauce. Disappointed

Best munchy box source in edinburgh!

Order placed online for delivery at 750 pm given a time of 1 hour. 1 hour and 15 mins and I call to ask how long. Person answering the phone said just cooking it should be 20-25 mins I stated the delivery time given BY THEM. and simply got told "Well it is mother's day " NO APOLOGIES OR EXPLANATION. As a career chef I KNOW IT TAKES LESS THAN 20MINS to prepare the dishes. SO THE FOOD WAS NOT JUST COOKING - IT PROBABLY HADN'T EVEN STARTED. At 2155 my food arrived and again no apology at all. Food was hot and tasty but staff are very rude and discourteous. last order placed before this had to be chased too. hence the review. I fully understand being busy , however as stated IMO as a chef the food was not prepared within the delivery time. The call handler LIED to me with zero apologies, discount or empathy for their mistakes. wouldn't order again as this is poor service.

Always get the munchie box and it never disappoints. Always on time too! Favourite Chinese in Edi!

Excellent food! Highly recommend!

Small portions, took ages and barely any meat sitting the dish

This was my first order. I'll order again, the food was delicious!

Been my favourite place for years, so sad i’m moving away <\3

turned up cold but was a saturday night in fairness , would maybe order on a weekday

Great it was earlier and food was fabulous 👌

My fav take away place! The food is amazing and always fresh! The delivery lady is so friendly and addresses me by my name straight away which is such a nice touch, really nice service from her at all times!!!

Ordered a large order for x10 people. Placed order via Uber eats, one of the meals we selected was gluten free (and was stated on the app that the selected meal was indeed gluten free) 10 mins After placing the order and parting with over £150 we got a phonecall from them stating they don’t do gluten free. It was Awful communication via telephone. The woman on the phone was Barely understandable and it took over 5 minutes to establish that she said the chicken we ordered was in fact not gluten free and seemed to say they don’t offer anything gluten free? The caller then said ‘well, what do you want instead?’ Take note that the gluten free is a dietary requirement due to coeliac disease and not just a lifestyle choice, so we couldn’t just ‘pick something else’ The caller reluctantly took the meal off the order and seemed to fail in understanding that we also wanted to be refunded the boiled rice, as who wants to eat boiled rice on its own with no meal 😓 Stressful to order, disappointing to have one of our party now not get food when we’d already searched to accommodate. Cannot recommend this place.

Tasty! The thin chow mein noodles are well done.

I think it was 20 mins early but honestly this Chinese has to be the best Chinese I’ve had in Edinburgh and actually the best food in Edinburgh. What an amazing place, very very impressed. Keep it up! Everything is top notch, well done!

nearly 3 hours late delivering and phone was constantly engaged

forgot my boiled rice. my first time here and the food was good but I ordered 2 meals and 2 different Rice and they only sent the fried. I'm not supposed to eat a lot of greasy food because of my Gerd.

The food was delicious and they don't use MSG .

Excellent food and arrived quicker than stated, just as we were getting hungry.

Most of the food appeared to have been re heated. None of it tasted fresh which was really disappointing
