The best restaurants in Dalkeith Midlothian Edinburgh and Lothian

Thought I’d introduce a friend to this lovely cafe but it was disappointing. Really slow service and staff abrupt when we asked about the delay. Shame it isn’t what it was and the salad was a sad damp thing when it was previously delicious. Maybe just an off day but staff just need to be friendlier and maybe apologise that there is going to be a delay and show some respect to their customers.

Popped in here on our way to the airport from northumberland. The ladies who served us were so warm and welcoming. The scones were handmade and delicious. So sad this little gem isn’t on our doorstep because we’d be here all the time to chat and eat if we could

I have passed here many times but today was the first time I went for a coffee. Great coffee and cake however very noisy with dancing staff chatting and dragging dance mats through the cafe into the dance studios 😬 it’s ideal for dance mums waiting on their kids but not for a quiet coffee and chat

Great selection of treats, lovely staff. We even got a free highland toffee bar 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 . Thanks folks!

I came in yesterday at 9:55 AM and the two men were very kind and made sure my breakfast tasted very good I got a hot choclate and a bacon roll and I loved it , all other greggs don't make them as delicious as this location , I was working at my wee stall down the road

Arrived 4.45, waited 15 mins before anyone came near us, ordered starter, waited another hour before our main meal came. Numerous excuses, such as we cook your food fresh, then the order didn't go through, people who came in after us were served, paid and away before we were served our meal which was lukewarm . All in all a pretty miserable night for my wife's birthday ! Won't be back.

So... our usual Chinese even though we live in Bonnyrigg... last night food was disappointing. The chicken fried rice was "wetter" and all ingredients not mixed through same with the Char Siu Fried rice. Both plain rice with a dash of soy sauce and peas topped with semi-shredded chicken and chopped pork. Overall, it was tasteless and not attractive at all. The Beef with Broccoli was really not good. Congealed and the broccoli were as limp as an elastic band. The Chinese Chicken Curry was good (don't mind the cubed frozen chicken pieces they use) and the sauce was flavoursome. Will give it one more go. Maybe you've got a new chef or just had an off night...

Brilliant pub for locals and non locals alike. Brought a lot to the community in danderhall and shawfair. Brilliant 👍🏻

We planned a quick supper here prior to an evening engagement. A big mistake. This is a little gem of a place that deserves to be the reason for a night out, not just a convenient adjunct. The welcome was warm and accommodating. The service was friendly and faultless. The atmosphere was relaxed with lots of small groups clearly enjoying a convivial evening. The food was plentiful and thoroughly delicious. The bill was modest for what we were served. All in all, a highly recommended experience. Please do not flock here as we want to be sure there will be space for us when we book our next dinner!!

On Friday night I made an online order of 5 items through Just Eat to collect. On getting home I discovered only 3 of the 5 items were in the bag. Called to try and sort out and was promised a call back in a few seconds. Got the call back in 30 minutes. Didn’t offer to deliver but offered a refund on missing items which I refused and said I thought a full refund would be more in order. Was told only Nico could authorise but he wasn’t in and would call me next day. Nico didn’t call on the Saturday so I phoned to be told he’d been in but had now left and would call me on Sunday. No call back on Sunday. What a poor way to run a business. Won’t be using this place again and neither will anyone I’ve told.

Nice friendly place but very cheap ingredients . Noticed happy shopper ham ect in the glass cabinet also the haggis 1 paper thin slice on a roll is really bad if im honest for the price ! Menu is always the same never any new meals ! Open whenever the feel like it ! Deliveries take far too long !! just needs more orgonisation and better ingredients !! It could be a really good wee place if they just cared more !

My first time here today and it didn’t disappoint. Extremely friendly staff. Excellent service. Food was 10/10. Would highly recommended

The lamb bhuna was so salty I thought my head was going to implode.The tarka daal had the colour and consistency of baby poop.Fortuneately it did not taste like that.But that was only because it tasted of absolutely nothing at all.The chicken tikka sauce appeared to have been made with budget brand tomatoe soup and marmalade.Food gave us horrendous indigestion-and to top it all off we both had the scoots the next day.

Just popped in for a drink, place was really quiet,no atmosphere although they did have a music channel on the t.v which was good & helped a bit, very cold as well.

Last pub on the outskirts off shadie boo!
