Taxidi in Edinburgh, City of

I had the pleasure of dining at MITSOS tonight, and it was nothing short of exceptional! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, reflecting the vibrant charm of Greek culture and a lovely and cozy environment. The food was absolutely divine – every dish was crafted to perfection, bursting with authentic flavors that transported me straight to the Mediterranean. But what truly elevated the experience was the staff. They deserve all the praise in the world for their outstanding service! Friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable, they made sure every aspect of the meal was flawless. Their genuine enthusiasm and care for their guests left a lasting impression. It’s rare to find a team so dedicated to creating an unforgettable dining experience. If you’re in Edinburgh and looking for a fantastic spot that combines incredible food with impeccable service, MITSOS is an absolute must-visit. I can’t wait to return!

Really delicious food. Great atmosphere. Really friendly and welcoming staff. So glad we stumbled across this place and that they had room for us. This was the icing on the cake of our trip to Edinburgh. Would definitely recommend a visit. We'll be back next time we are here.

Awesome food and great hospitality. Thank you so much. Wholeheartedly recommend this place ❤️

Amazing food!! And amazing service! Had the best experience! Will definitely be going back!

Every minute at this restaurant was awesome! The music, the staff, the FOOD! We had fava to start, lamb chops, prawns and mushrooms. You can pay by cash or card. I am extremely happy that this place is within walking distance from home 😁

Moussaka is not available except for some set deal Lamb chops were meh, not very flavourful nor fresh nor crispy nor tender. 11.5 for a 170g chop Halloumi was quite decent but severely overpriced. It was a crazy 9.5 for this piece, and the tomato BBQ sauce tasting jam was not it, doesn't taste anything like jam

THE BEST restaurant I ever been ! Dimitrius is an absolutely fantastic chef , very talented . It’s the best meat I tried in my life . Always coming back as it’s unbeatable . Remember you are just wonderfully great 😊 👍🏻

Absolutely fantastic food ! Dimitrius is the chef that we know ! His skills and warmth is a mind blowing . The meat he cooks is over this world . All the staff is nice and friendly . Highly recommend and adore this place. With love Alex and Irina x

Not sure why this place is still Taxidi on TA as it has changed its name to Mitsos and has a slightly different menu! Anyway, we’ve been here several times and it’s always been excellent. Latest lunch was a mix of grilled meats and small plates, all cooked beautifully with authentic flavours. Recommend the mixed grill if you’re hungry- it’s meant to feed 2 but the portions are huge, could easily do 3 or 4 with extra chips and salad. Staff are lovely and very helpful. Interesting selection of Greek beers and wine.

Very tasty food! Cozy but a nice and warm atmosphere.

Great food, nice little place with a great selection of meats. I recommend trying everything.

Nice place lovely food and friendly staff. Food was very good. Will be back

Great place. If we weren't heading home in the morning we would have been back. On top of the food, service and atmosphere, the music was an added bonus.

One of the best restaurants in the city. Amazing food, service and family run

Great food and service. Will go back 😊

Unbelievably good. Came here completely by accident and couldn't be happier. The food was incredible and the staff were so lovely. Will definitely be coming back and also recommending to friends.

Amazing food! So tasty its a must visit if you live in Edinburgh and you are looking for the best greek cuisine!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Family run Greek restaurant. We went on a Sunday evening without booking and it was busy but the waitress told us to have a drink at the pub next door and then came to call us shortly afterwards when the table became free. She was very kind and we appreciated it a lot. The grilled chicken was great and the pita was also very tasty. Exquisite house wine The place is not very big but it is nice and welcoming. We loved it and recommend it if you want to enjoy a real Greek delight.

Food was super tasty and it’s a lovely atmosphere. We had the eggplant, beet salad, and a stewed beef special. Highly recommend

Great food, the owner is very nice and the souvlaki is absolutely great!

Delicious Greek dishes with friendly service

This was one of our favourite restaurants until they changed the menu a few months ago and turned it into a grill house. Most of the reviews here are from their old menu. It's now too expensive for what you get. Each dish, although good quality, is plain but overpriced and I think they expect you to order more side dishes to compensate for this. I preferred their older menu with authentic homestyle dishes instead. The service and the staff are very friendly and respect the customers but I don't think I'll be going often anymore.

Excellent food (prepare to eat too much) - and excellent service who cares for you and are proud of what they deliver. GO THERE NOW!!!!❤️❤️❤️

Okay Greek influenced food at decent enough prices for central-ish Edinburgh. It's pretty basic, canteen level, cook-and-serve stuff lacking a bit of love and imagination and the place overall feels just a little bit run down. That said, it's got very friendly, quick service but I'm not sure I would go back simply because the food's not good enough to warrant it. For a £5 take-away a wrap? Maybe..but for a £30 ish a head sit down meal ... I'd say Tollcross has other delights...

best calamari i've ever eaten in my life, really warm and homely atmosphere, wonderful service. definitely will visit again if im ever in edinburgh.

Proper Greek food! Definitely recommend this place!

Excellent food and atmosphere, a feast of flavors, a worthy ambassador of Greek flavors!!!

Initially wanted wraps but told we couldn’t eat these in the restaurant as they were takeaway only. Instead, ordered the mix grill for two, bread basket and a portion of chips. The amount of salt was actually ridiculous, making it difficult to taste any other flavour. Even the bread (which was burnt) was covered in salt flakes. A real shame as the portion sizes were decent and food looked otherwise tasty.

Incredible !!! Stunning outside seating for the summer. Staff were so so so lovely and the food was amazingggg. Mixed grill, aubergine, Greek salad, chips, dips. Great portions worth every penny! Perfect setting to enjoy a cold glass of wine and delicious food in the Edinburgh sun, or rain. Vibes were impeccable.

Incredible food, massive portions and amazing staff… it was surprisingly affordable for how good the food was- we got mains, desserts and 2 bottles of wine for £25 each! The staff were so lovely and welcoming as well. The outside patio area is beautiful- it’s west facing so you can soak up all the evening sun. Will be going back even if it’s just for a drink!!

So nice food and people definitely will be back.

Foods are amazing, great service and lovely friendly staffs. I highly recommend you for perfect dinner

Great atmosphere! Amazing foods and friendly staff.

Fantastic Greek restaurant, with a very good atmosphere, happy and friendly service. Everything we tried was very delicious, we took advice

Lovely place to have dinner! The staff is incredibly friendly and the food was amazing.

If you want to eat something close to Turkish food, you can go to this restaurant without hesitation. The taste is really similar to Turkish taste and foods are amazing. Atmosphere, music and hospitality are very nice. Moreover, prices are quite convenient. Thank you for Dimitri and his family. I definitely recommend. 👍

the food was amazing and it was a really cosy and homely atmosphere. The staff are great and friendly. I will definitely be going back again

The most authentic Greek food in Scotland. Our second time here. It has changed its name. Mitsos! Great people who run it.

Good atmosphere, very good food and pleasant service

Great food and service! Good cooked on charcoal makes all the difference. Friendly staff. Highly recommended

Nice grill restaurant. Friendly and nice service. Greek, great experience!

Fantastic place with great food. Absolutely recommended.

A cosy intimate restaurant. Staff are excellent and the food is just sensational.

The restaurant is closed for refurbishment. Talked to the owner when passing today

Next time I will order tigania again, a great appetizer.

Super cosy restaurant, with great tasting food and amazing portions for the price! Our server was extremely attentive and friendly, would definitely recommend :)

Perfect food. Awesome kids who have it!! I fondly recommend!

Delicious food, good and fast service. Average rating IMO: 4.3 Worth a try. They may add more items to their menu. They also offer mixed grill that looks interesting.

Great Greek food in Edinburgh! Family owned spot with authentic Greek food options and large portions. Everything we ordered was very flavorful and felt like being in Greece again. We chose the bread basket, tzatziki, pita pita (grilled chicken fillet with pita bread) and the yaourtlou. The bread was nicely grilled with a good covering of olive oil, salt and oregano. Addicting! The tzatziki was as they serve it in Greece and definitely a must order for the table. The chicken fillet was tender and very flavorful, served with thick cut fries. Finally the yaourtlou was delicious with a good serving of red tomato sauce, yogurt, herbs and spices with a large soutzoukaki portion. Happy to have come across this place while in Edinburgh!

What a joy of having such great Greek food.. We tried a few Greek spots and Taxidi was by far the best. Pitas where amazing and hand cut fries like the ones from Yaya. Will be back when we're in town again.

Great Greek food in the heart of Edinburgh. We came here to celebrate a friend’s birthday who is himself Greek. He was able to attest to the authenticity of the food. Staff very friendly and accommodating. They even took a picture of us in front of the restaurant. Thanks guys, and well done.

Through a recommendation by a friend, we visited Taxidi with friends and weren’t disappointed. We had several starters to share and they were really nice. The Saganaki, Tigania and Bougiourdi were excellent. The ladies went for the Moussaka while we went for the lamb chops with hand cut chips. The chops were excellent. Very tender and full of flavour. Overall, the food was excellent as was the service. A bit dark sitting in the corner, which led us to use our phone torches to read the menu. Will certainly be back.

Best Greek food outside of Greece I've ever eaten.

We rally enjoyed our meal here. Authentic greek cuisine. Highly recommend Taxidi.

I came here for my 60th birthday. I brought friends and family for a casual shared meal. Dimitrios and his excellent staff looked after us all well. From the arrangements before, the lack of difficulty or complexity in the running of the event; the whole afternoon was just what I was looking for. The food was its usual high standard. Simple tasty excellent Greek cooking.

Utterly perfect food. The portion sizes are perfect and from a cypriot person this is so close to my home food love this place and recommend it to everyone

Última noche en Edimburgo. No queríamos irnos sin probar este magnifico restaurante griego. Nos recibieron estupendamente y tanto el servicio como la comida fueron excelente.

Buonissimo, carne veramente deliziosa, ben cotta, con la giusta quantità di salse, bel posticino, consigliato, ci ritornerei. Se bisogna trovare per forza un pecca è la musica non del mio gusto, ma molto tranquilla comunque.

Went to a 60th birthday party here. It was great - really friendly service and the food was authentic and excellent with very generous portions. Really hospitable hosts. Have been for a meal here before which was also great. It is quite small so it made circulation a bit tricky with 26 guests - but we knew that when it was booked. Excellent afternoon - thanks to the staff who were then going on to do a busy evening service once we left!!

Marta es un encanto💪la comida buenísima y súper acogedor sitio 💃💃

Rushed all the way through.- waitress brought the wrong dish to the table, didn’t apologise, and treated us as if we were responsible!!! Not a very friendly treatment at all. Food was monotonous and I am writing this with a bad taste in my mouth of a squid that was not fresh. Would not come back and definitely wouldn’t recommend. To top it off, they blatantly asked us to leave after 1 hour and 20 minutes because they had another booking at 9! Incredible

Excellent food! The best in Edinburgh.

Filthy, staff shouting on the phone constantly. Food was expensive and poor quality / portion size. Wont be back again.

The owner and all the staff are very welcoming creating a lovely warming atmosphere from the moment you enter which continues into excellent table service with recommendations and great attention to detail on each plate. The quaint restaurant has a true local Greek charm about it and the food is outstanding alongside being very authentic. It ticks all of the boxes for what a top restaurant should have. Highly recommend trying this place and looking forward to my next visit soon.

Great restaurant. Thanks for for the evening!

Fantastic in every way! The food was authentically Greek and very delicious and the service was excellent. Will be back for sure.

Friendly service and delicious food.

Tried this place for the first time before leaving for uni in a different city and i deeply regret it as the food was the best ive tried in a while. The vegan options are amazing, for example the mpakses and fava (my personal favourites). Definitely a must try.

Taxidi is one of the best greek restaurants ive tried. The octopus dish is a must try, along with the special of the day, the lamb chops. The service was really great and the waiters helped make our night! If youre visiting edin you know where to go

Amazing Greek food. Yaourtlou was my favourite dish and I’m definitely coming back to try more things. atmosphere was great and the staff very kind and easy to chat with.

A quaint little Greek restaurant tucked in a little side street along the top of Lothian Road. Service was friendly, and food delivered fast. Great authentic menu, the hand cut chips are to die for, and the use of high quality olive oil is apparent in the food. One of the better Greek spots in Edinburgh, and has outdoor dining for those days when Edinburgh is blissfully warm and sunny.

Ask for special of the day. They may surprise you. Size of portions can be different depends on chef's taste. Hope he's ok :)

Absolutely amazing place. Wonderful food, tasty as you expect it to be. Really well served portions. Really friendly staff, cool atmosphere, nice cold beer to go along your meat. Definitely will be back to bulk up,lol. Ps* There's also a great espresso, not that dirty water that you find mostly everywhere from machines badly configured.

Spotted this Bistro on Google maps, basically around the corner from my Daughters. Have tried a couple of other Greek restaurants in the city and can honestly say this is by far the best. Good honest food, reasonably priced. Great service and friendly. Will definitely be back, my 1st choice for Greek in the Capital 5*.

Ένα Εξαίρετο Γαστρονομικό Ταξίδι στο κέντρο του Εδιμβούργου..Με έναν Εκπληκτικό Σεφ και Ιδιοκτήτη του Χώρου τον Δημήτρη..και με ένα προσωπικό γεμάτο προθυμία να σε φιλοξενήσουν και να σε εξυπηρετήσουν με χαμόγελο και Ζεστασιά...Γεύσεις Κρεατικες και θαλασσινές με εκπληκτικές σαλάτες και με μία μεγάλη κάρτα για κρασί,μπύρες και σκληρά ποτά..Δημήτρη σε ευχαριστούμε πολύ για όλα...Έισαι ένας Γαστρονομικός Προορισμός..

WOW! Took me back to my grandmas cooking. Delicious, fresh and truly authentic Greek food. A must try in Edinburgh!

Great food and nice atmosphere. However! Service was terrible, waiter, short dark hair maybe late 40s... Refused to let me order the specific hot drink I wanted even though it was in the menu and he also rudely snapped 'well it's not on the menu so that is a stupid question' when my partner asked for an iced coffee... A simple 'no' would have been sufficient. This waiter has brought our opinion down as this used to be a regular for us during festival time. No lt anymore.

This was a first time visit to Taxidi for an early evening dinner, but we plan to return. Great greek food and really friendly, welcomingn staff!

Best Greek/Mediterranean cuisine in Edinburgh

One of the best places for an amazing food experience in town.. couldn’t recommend enough!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Trying to find somewhere to eat during the Fringe can be challenging but these folks were so helpful in getting us a table, and we never felt hurried at all. The food was amazing and catered to veggie, teenagers, students and us oldies alike. The manager was polite, efficient and entertaining and I just hope hey can restock the wine. Lovely experience that I will hunt out on my next visit to Edinburgh.

Good greek cuisine with a warm, dynamic and friendly service. An excellent family evening meal for us. Thanks again!

OMG what a great experience. Party of ten with a set menu. The staff went above and beyond. The food was absolutely outstanding. Shout out for the chef. Shout out for the waiting staff. Shout out for Taxidi. Thank you all so much for a great evening. I for one would book again in a heartbeat and I believe my friends will too.

First meal in Edinburgh~ I was starving so I’m very happy to have this big dinner. It was great~ The two starters are delicious~and I like the fish dish a lot~ Only thing is the pita and two main dishes are a bit too salty. Except this I like them very much! And the manager is very kind and nice!

This is our favourite Greek restaurant on the planet. We love our Greek food and try find a restaurant when we travel, but nothing beats Taxidi. No place like home as they say. It is so authentic, the team that work there are lovely, the service is fantastic, the food is amazing and it is great value for money. It is one of our 3 go to restaurants in Edinburgh.

After being let down by our accommodation we went out to find something to eat. We found Taxidi by accident and it was already quite late but they were very welcoming. I had the yaourtlou and my wife had the moussaka (the best she's ever had - her words, not mine). We had a bottle of the house white wine, which was also very good and then we both finished with the baklava. It was a very special meal, found by accident but it won't be by accident when we return there.

Wonderful food and friendly service!

Love the grilled mushroom and veggies starter. The pita chicken & hand cut chips were delicious, but it was a tad salty so would be great if they can be less generous with salting the food.

Oh wow! Loved our meal here on a recent visit to the city. What a little gem! Fabulous food and a really warm welcome. We would highly recommend this small unpretentious bistro to anyone who loves good authentic Greek food. The warm halva was to die for, and the pittas are like little herby pillows of heaven!

I wish I could give this place 6 stars - amazing

Stumbled upon this place yesterday, and what a surprise! Excellent food and service. Will definitely be returning!

The bistro is 20minutes walk from Princess Street, small and quiet. Booking would be advisable. Had ordered sharing foods and weren’t quite finished when our main dish was brought out so felt a bit rushed with that. Otherwise the food was lovely and all reasonably priced.

Great contemporary Greek food, absolutely worth the walk from Old Town. Very tasty! The area and street it's located on are not the best, I do hope that Taxidi will find a new slightly bigger location somewhere more fitting, because they deserve it!

The best Greek restaurant in Edinburgh beyond a shadow of a doubt . If you want the best experience, just go here .

Went there yesterday at around 5 pm with my husband and waited for the staff to show us our seats. We were greeted coldly by a male staff (short hair, probably in his 50s) who told us we couldn’t sit inside (although the place was practically empty) because we weren’t sure if we wanted to order food. He showed us to the only empty table outside which could fit 2 people. When my husband told him we had another 2 friends joining us, he rudely told us that there wasn’t any table left and quickly turned the other way as if he couldn’t bear talking to us for another second. Now my husband has been their loyal customer for years and he always brought his friends over for drinks and/or food. I only ate there twice myself and I’ve seen the owner during the two times I was there and he was without a doubt very friendly. But we didn’t see him yesterday. My advice to the owner would be to keep an eye on your staff because bad service would drive even your most loyal customers away.

Once in a while you are lucky enough to stumble across a very special place. Taxidi is this place. The food was delicious and the service was outstanding. There were 6 of us dining tonight and we only had compliments to shower on this amazing team. Well done Taxidi. 👏

Tasty food, very generous portions and attentive and friendly staff - would recommend and definitely would go again.

Just perfect Greek food!! Ευχαριστώ!!

Outstanding service, delicious food, in a nice and friendly atmosphere.

A must go when in Edinburgh! The food here is out of this world. We visited this evening for our wedding anniversary (we didn’t inform them before hand) and were treated like family as soon as we stepped through the door. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere is warm and authentic. Its one of the best meal experiences we’ve had. The quality and quantity of the food it outstanding. We will be recommending Taxidi to anyone and everyone who will listen. Thank you for giving us such a memorable night
