The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh and Lothian

Our first stop in Edinburgh was the elephant cafe . Upon arrival at the cafe we were totally surprised that it is opened and that there was no queue . Waited excitedly to be seated and a young lady ushered us to a lovely window seats overlooking the street. Just as we were getting ourselves comfortable, another lady by the name Samiha came by and questioned “who gave you the table “ Honestly we were quite taken aback. Being a well travelled person of my age this was totally not acceptable and plain rude. The second episode was when I went to the cashier to ask if I should order at the counter , the same staff exaggeratedly commented in Spanish (I think) that I was impatient. The episode didn’t end here. Later the same lady, Samiha, found out that I was trying to get her name. She came back and challenged me lecturing me throughout that cafe is very “crowded” ; customers need to wait to be seated. The whole issue is we were ushered to the seats by the window! We did not just barged in! Honestly this kind of behaviour is totally not acceptable . To my worst horror i later found out she is the supervisor of the cafe ! A junior staff who had witnessed all this and was so sweet that she apologised profusely on behalf of the rude supervisor for my bad experience! Fine cafe but be warned of ill mannered supervisor !

The most uncomfortable seats! I paid £80, but it was definitely not worth it. Even if you request a comfortable seat, they won’t let you sit at a decent table. We were crammed in, sitting too close to other people. The food wasn’t good either. Save your money and go somewhere better than this place

Poor customer service. Didn't have what we wanted. Staff spoke very poor English so struggled to communicate this and worse treated us like an inconvenience. I'm sure on a different day they'd be fine but on this day it was not good.

Food was unbelievable we had to go back the next day! Staff were all lovely such a warming environment.

Lovely restaurant in picturesque setting. Service was good and staff very pleasant. Overall experience was good. What let it down was the steak pie. The pastry was very soft and quite soggy as if it had been heated in a microwave. Such a pity.

Costa always has good coffee, but its employees are the best in the area. Very friendly service, very good professionals.

Excellent comfortable beds. Spotlessly clean. Good car parking. Great location. Lovely staff. Warm & inviting pub/restaurant. I had room 9 which had a view of the Forth rail bridge.

Like every IKEA I’ve visited the stores are virtually all identical so you know the order where items are the Edinburgh branch is no different. The only irritating thing I found was when I ordered a kitchen cabinet I had to collect it from another warehouse about a mile away however it was ready when I got there so no need to wait. There is plenty of parking,even a separate area for click and collect, which I believe It’s a timed slot. I tried to have a coffee afterwards but the queue was too long and taking ages so gave up in the end. The overall experience was fairly good I got what I wanted the area on the ground floor where all the random items are is the best I thought a bit of a ‘pick and mix’ would I go again yes but only on a annual basis it’s not somewhere I’d go every week.

Food was super bad, dishes did not arrive at the same time. Staff was not welcoming and overwhelmed. Overall, just very very poor.

I had an amazing experience at Pickles! The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxing evening out. The wine selection was impressive, with a wide range of options to suit every palate. What truly stood out, though, was the exceptional service, especially from our server Nona. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, helping us choose the perfect wines to pair with our small bites. They made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in and went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic time. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a top-notch wine bar experience!

Estate pub with rowdy young lads watching football. They do not do food as is advised on the website.

Lovely staff called to apologise for one item not being available and offered an alternative. Really nice touch. Great customer service 🙂

Took grandkids here for a quick lunch before cinema. We had all been before and, generally, have enjoyed the food here. However, on this occasion, something was not quite right. The toasties ordered were over cooked to the point where bread crusts were too hard, bordering on burnt and cheese had gone brittle, way beyond any melting point. We should have returned them but were pressed for time (our fault) and ate what bits we could. The place was very busy but that shouldn't be a reason for sending out over cooked, dry toasties.
