The best restaurants in Musselburgh East and Carberry East Lothian Edinburgh and Lothian

The Hollies is a community cafe in the heart of Musselburgh. It offers very good food at a reasonable price. Apart from what is available on the menu there is always soup, a dish of the day and a sweet. The staff are very friendly and helpful and its the kind of place you can go to on your own without feeling out of place.

Hotel no complaints restraint is up for sale so not a great situation staff certainly impacted.

Orderd a collection over the phone didn’t have to wait my meal was ready as I got there. great customer service my meal was that good I ordered the same meal later on that night. Great value for money.

Such a warm cosy atmosphere with a great selection of yummy foods in their menu. My favourite is having half pizza, half pasta. Such a treat to go there and not too expensive either

Just had a pint but a good pint of lager it was

Ordered a few drinks, not busy. Barista on till was friendly. I specifically asked for half the chocolate in a hot chocolate (to make it less rich) and the team on bar seemed to think there was an invisible sound proof wall between them and customers because when one barista asked about it the other said ‘it doesn’t matter, nobody cares’. I piped up asking them to make it as requested and clearly they realised they’d been heard. They were not cleaning jugs between drinks, just topping up more milk and reheating milk endlessly. They also still didn’t get the order right woth the other drinks. Overall a bad experience both customer service wise and quality of product.

Best Chinese takeaway in East Lothian

Will never return due to the rude, obnoxious French woman who has the people skills of a housebrick.

Lovely quiet restaurant with quick & efficiency service. Fantastic service from Jill who tried to help me generate the Blue light code required for the 25% discount. Most frustrating.

We visited Lucas on Sun 25 Aug and 30 Aug frequently attend here on both occasions I had to return my main course as they were both barely warm 1 was pizza the other mushroom pasta the waitress was apologetic and said this would get heated up in the microwave. Another couple who were sitting at the next table had to wait an eternity for their meals we had our main course & our dessert before the couples meal arrived as they had already asked waitress where it was and was told kitchen was busy the couple had been more than patient. I am unsure if the chef has been changed the food seems to be not to the usual standard. Not once has the waitresses when having your meal if everything is ok! This should come as standard.. very disappointed. Therefore after another disappointing visit today it will be sone considerable tine or not at all when we will be back.

Took friend to lunch - it was the first time I had been to Carberry Tower. The menu sounded good. My friend went for the fish and chips which looked good. I went for the langoustine tails on a strawberry and pineapple salad. When it was brought to the table I was shocked by “the salad” - it looked like a timbale of couscous or quinoa with what could be described as a tiny slither of a strawberry chopped into minuscule pieces (6 in total) you could hardly taste it and no pineapple whatsoever. No dressing - very dry. The dessert I chose was the coconut and peach pan a cotta topped with fresh mango and mint salsa with strawberry coulis. There was no taste of peach in the panna cotta - there was a nectarine and mint salsa but no sign of strawberry coulis. My friend had the ice cream and she was happy with it. If they had ran out of strawberries they could have taken the dish off the menu or come back with alternative dishes. However, two mains, two desserts and 1 ginger ale and 1 small glass wine and tap water £65. Won’t be back. Overpriced and over-rated - not impressed!!

Staff not that friendly. Food was cold. Visited on 6th March 2020 at 15:30. Will go over the road next time to pie/sandwich shop opposite.

Excellent service and piping hot food.

You can tell it's up for sale staff may no longer have the heart for it when you're future is not guaranteed. 3 why the breakfast is still a winner for me choice of cereals fruit pastry brilliant. If you like cooked breakfast I never see anyone complaining so they have something right. Easy access to Edinburgh and beyond shame about the restaurant.

First time dining at Shish Mahal and I was impressed with both the service and the food. The waiter when made aware of my dislike of dairy made sure that my food was dairy free. The portion of food was good and the food was delicious. I'd definitely return when next time in the area.
