As a Turk, it was the most tasteless doner kebab I could ever taste. Unfortunately, Turkish food is cooked poorly by non-Turkish people. I don't know how their other dishes were, but Döner Kebab was very bad.

Place is rated 4.4 on Deliveroo which I fail to understand how. Ordered 2 chicken shawarmas, the shawarma was bland tasteless and the chicken had a bad smell. Unfortunately due Fake rating and stars we had to dispose off the food. The portion size was massive but is it of any point if the food is bad. It felt like something was put together just to get rid off what was left in the kitchen. Ordered food at 10.30 in the night, so by the time the food came and we found out the reality of the 4.4 rating it was too late to order from anywhere else. I guess shouldnt be ordering food online anymore because cant trust these ratings also anymore

Great place for a late dinner. Despite there is no tartar sauce for the fish, you can use burger sauce and it will do the job. However, I don’t recommend eating the fried skin.

Ordered a doner kebab and chips and only received kebab meat and chips, told the staff that’s not what I ordered or paid for but they literally made me take it or nothing. Portions are small yet expensive, no salt and vinegar on chips or even asked, asked for a bag and got told to bag it myself. WARNING - they prey on the drunks of Edinburgh!!!!

The boss is a filthy racist and freaking robber! We had to order 5times before to get anything... Meanwhile this guy was mocking us with young girls clients. He tried to offered us gums and snacks to cover the fact that he charged us 2 times! Without giving us abandon receipt he immediately calls an other guy to pay for a default. After that he charged me 5 pounds more than my friend for the order. When my friend looked at his account, he noticed it. The boss didn't accept it and lied for 10minutes straight. Gave us 10 pounds less than what he stole from us. Disgusting behaviour and food! Never go there, dangerous and scammy. Gonna call police and hygiene control.

Food - chicken donner was not a closed kebab, however was perfectly spiced and cooked. Cucumber - very fresh - note you need a fork. 9/10 for the ‘chicken kebab’. A local said, ‘the best shwarma I’ve had in Edinburgh’ Service - would have to see the film footage to comment on this Atmosphere - Scottish - man walked in with three big bricks of cheese - no questions asked !

The most bland kebab we’ve ever had. Large shish for £13 but only one skewer, asked for two pittas and only gave us one in a seperate bag. Watery chilli sauce, the most BLAND chicken, seems unseasoned and like they’ve just put plain chicken on the grill, soggy chips and we asked for salt on them but got given them plain.

27/8/22 - Saturday late evening snack We three middle aged London guys had just seen a show and were peckish for a pizza before hitting a few bars. We were being shown round by a local friend who recommended this place as it was near. We arrived to this busy joint at 10:15, ordered a veggie 12 inch pizza and by 10:25 it was in the small table between us by the window. A carton of spice sauce was given to us to prep it up. It was a good pizza, obviously piping hot and well flavoured. My friend said he was not hungry beforehand but that did not stop him eating a big piece as he said it was delicious! The boss was very chatty, humorous and started to play with the five screens (each came up as an MS Windows crash) displaying the prices which I thought were permanent backlit displays originally! The prices were quite steep (we were peckish and the options were limited locally) so that led is to believe that they may have been hiked for the Festival/Fringe. Our host will check them out later. Of course the prices ruses of energy may contribute to the increased prices overall and they are making hay whilst the sun shines and hedgeing on future rises. Btw to Mrs GG two reviews below (only 1 review) and Mary (3reviews!) thus is not England it is Scotland!! Interesting ...

The service was fantastic, but the Thai food isn't even close to real Thai food. It was super greasy and didn't look, feel or taste like Thai food. The Indian menu may be a lot better, but the chef needs a lot more experience and practice to make decent Thai food.
