L'Alba D'Oro
5–7 Henderson Row,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5DH
A chippy that offers prawns with garlic and ginger – choice of single or supper, of course – alongside the traditional favourites has got to be something a bit different. L'Alba D'Oro (the name means 'dawn of gold') is a long-established leader in…
L'Ariosto
92–94 Mitchell Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3NQ
Named after the Renaissance bard, L'Ariosto has many surprises. Designed to resemble an Italian courtyard and exuding a cosy atmosphere, it still has room to put on dinner dances with a live band five nights a week. It's almost 40 years old, but there's…
Ashoka Bearsden
9 Kirk Road, Bearsden,
Glasgow,
G61 3RG
Tucked away in the quaint backstreets of the salubrious Glasgow suburb of Bearsden, this outpost of the Harlequin Group is perhaps unlikely to become a destination dining option for many city dwellers. This might please local diners, but would be a…
Ashoka Southside
268 Clarkston Road,
Glasgow,
G44 3EA
This Harlequin Group restaurant has the comfortably modern surroundings, reliable service and familiar favourites of many of its siblings in the chain. Subdued lighting and cosy seating give the dining space a warm, intimate feel that is enhanced by…
Balti Club
66 Woodlands Road,
Glasgow,
G3 6HA
Although the Balti Club (known for 22 years as the Fast Food Bar) is essentially a takeaway, it produces food that some of the fancier Indian restaurants in Glasgow would be proud to serve. Its bright lighting, basic white tiles and slightly wobbly…
Bonsai
46 West Richmond Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9DZ
With the convivial hubbub of the closely packed tables, the sizzling steam and enticing aromas emerging from the kitchen, and the bold white, crimson and black décor, at Bonsai it's easy to imagine yourself in an izakaya in downtown Tokyo. And indeed it…
Britannia Spice
150 Commercial Street, Ocean Drive,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6LB
Taking its name from one of the world's most famous ships, now moored as nearby in the lively environs of Leith, Britannia Spice has an overtly nautical theme that suits its mix of north Indian, Bangladeshi, Thai and Nepalese cuisine surprisingly well.
Café Salma
523 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7PQ
Since opening in 2007, the charming and informal Café Salma has quickly gained a loyal custom – and a reputation that belies its youth. The bright interior's idiosyncratic décor, wall-mounted television and busy open kitchen give the place an authentic…
Charcoals
26A Renfield Street,
Glasgow,
G2 1LU
Charcoals' colourful interiors, and its reliable and occasionally excellent Punjabi cuisine, make it a good choice in the city centre. The main draws here are the great value lunchtime buffet – popular with local office workers – and the generous…
Chow
98 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8TB
Bright lights, clean lines and minimal modern décor mark Chow out from most other Chinese restaurants in town. It's a little breath of fresh air that's been right at home among the hustle-bustle of Byres Road since opening its doors in 2002. Food is…
The Clay Oven
86 Morningside Road,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4BY
Located at the Bruntsfield/Morningside crossover point, the Clay Oven feels very much like a neighbourhood restaurant. Well laid out, with smart décor and attentive staff, it's the kind of place you can rely on. The food may not rock your world, but…
Di Maggio's
61 Ruthven Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 9BG
After more than 25 years in business, Di Maggio's is a firm favourite with loyal locals and tourists alike visiting its various outlets. Even outside peak times, the Royal Exchange Square branch welcomes a stream of customers, attracted by the efficient…
Di Maggio's Theatreland
163 West Nile Street,
Glasgow,
G1 2RL
More than two decades old, the Di Maggio's chain is going strong and regularly wins awards for its 'family-friendliness'. This outlet, formerly known as Pronto, is the so-called Theatreland branch and now uses the same menu as the others. But it's…
East India Company
7 Viewfield Place,
Stirling,
Stirling,
FK8 1NQ
Entering East India Company via a short, narrow staircase brings you into a candle-lit basement restaurant, an atmospheric room of dark wood, Raj-influenced knick knacks and old colonials staring down from the walls. Menus are fairly familiar, and, for…
Efes
42 Leven Street, Tollcross,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9LJ
This kebab shop is such a Tollcross institution it seems as if it has been around since the beginning of time. The staff are always polite and helpful, although this doesn't matter in the slightest to the shop's many loyal customers, who come for the…
Enjoy
393–395 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G4 9HY
The pavements of the Great Western Road see more striders than strollers. So competing cafés often need something extra to get bums on seats. For Enjoy, the selling point is the real food ethos of its Kosovan owners, Sebo and Manuella Brestovca. There…
Favorit
19–20 Teviot Place,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2QZ
Favorit is a late night diner for the young and hip and – most importantly – for those with the munchies. Black and white chequered tiles, retro tables and benches and a large, red neon Favorit sign set the scene. All that's missing is Pulp Fiction's…
La Favorita
325–331 Leith Walk,
Edinburgh,
EH6 8SA
The glow from the twin log-fired ovens is the first indication that pizza is taken seriously at this Leith Walk eatery. La Favorita combines the lightest, crispest bases (also available gluten-free) with a long list of both classic and more inventive…
Giovanni's
94 Northfield,
Edinburgh,
EH8 7RU
Trading from the same spot since the mid-1960s, Giovanni's has quietly and steadily built up a customer base that spans from Musselburgh to the Grassmarket, and it's easy to see why. Refurbished in 2000, the menu has since grown, with the traditional…
Giuliano's
18–19 Union Place,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3NQ
Hidden behind a modest entrance with green neon signs and a rather retro ice-cream counter, the cavernous back room of this lively restaurant – a cheerful mix of tartan carpets and Italian holiday snap posters – comes as something of a surprise. At…
Giuliano's on the Shore
1 Commercial Street,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6JA
With its prime location opposite Leith's bustling shore and its family-friendly atmosphere, Giuliano's attracts a steady stream of regulars throughout the week, including lots of family groups. Live music from Italian singer Roberto Enzo on Monday and…
The GY Chinese Take Out
27 Roseneath Place, Marchmont,
Edinburgh,
EH9 1JD
Nestled in a quiet corner of Marchmont, GY's location has never hindered its popularity. The service is beyond reproach, the food flavoursome and filling and, quite simply, it is quick. Customers can phone in their order and find their food ready and…
Hanam's
13a Brougham Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9JS
Not for nothing has Hanam's owner Jahmal Ahmed applied for new, bigger premises on Victoria Street. Pared down and pleasantly unassuming in design, Ahmed's current location on Tollcross already has a loyal following, due in no small part to its…
Hanedan
41 West Preston Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9PY
The fact that Hanedan's owner and chef, Gursel Bahar, has previously flexed his culinary muscles at the Four Seasons and with Sir Terence Conran at London's exquisite Quaglino's restaurant will come as little surprise to anyone who's sampled the…
India Gate
679–681 Pollokshaws Road,
Glasgow,
G41 2AB
Located between the Queen's Park railway station and a pair of wee Irish pubs on Pollokshaws Road, India Gate could be mistaken for a handy little takeaway from the outside, with its small shop front and counter against the window. However, once you're…
India Quay
181 Finnieston Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8HE
At the northern end of Finnieston Bridge, and a stone's throw from the SECC, India Quay matches its locale for ambition and innovation. The black and white interior is stylish and spacious, while its downstairs booths allow for a degree of intimacy. The…
Italian Connection
84 Bruntsfield Place,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4HG
This takeaway is a real cheap and cheerful delight in an area where such things are not often appreciated nor expected. With over 20 pizzas on the menu, as well as a wide range of pastas, burgers and side orders, deciding what to have can be difficult.
Italmania
180-184 Argyle Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 8HA
Taking one corner of Glasgow's busiest crossroad, with competition on all sides from multinational fast food joints, this funky little restaurant offers fresh ingredients in cool surroundings, making it a particularly welcoming spot. Above the entrance…
Jade Garden
303 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3HQ
Without being able to point it out on a map, many Glaswegians will be vaguely aware of Jade Garden, its bright pink sign having been part of the Sauchiehall Street fascia for what seems like forever. Those who haven't visited the restaurant behind could…
Kalpna
2/3 St Patrick's Square,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9EZ
It's been left to the Kalpna to fly the flag for meat-free eating in a surprisingly under-served capital for quarter of a century. To its credit it has done so constantly, while simultaneously being one of Edinburgh's top Indian restaurants. Kalpna's…
Kebab Mahal
7 Nicolson Square,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9BH
It's easy to see why Kebab Mahal has been such a success for almost 30 years, handily placed as it is for student land. It's basically a takeaway with seating for those who fancy eating in, and its relaxed feel perfectly suits a late-night clientele who…
Kebabish
323–325 Victoria Road,
Glasgow,
G42 7SA
While no longer a part of the Kebabish Original chain, this Govanhill eatery continues to lure customers with its flame-filled open kitchen, contemporary interior and tremendous value for money. Above all, it still delivers on its promise of 'the thrill…
Konaki
920 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7TF
Family is important at Konaki. The kitchen uses home-grown olive oil matured in Grandma's cellar, wild herbs gathered on island holidays and recipes handed down through generations. Front of house, children receive an indulgent welcome, the whole…
Loon Fung
2 Warriston Place, Canonmills,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5LE
Still going strong after 36 years, with a loyal following among locals, Loon Fung is undoubtedly doing something right. Specialising in Canton-style seafood, a two-person starter of chopped scallops with cashews and crisp vermicelli gives some…
Mr India's West End Balti and Dosa House
11–13 Hyndland Street,
Glasgow,
G11 5QE
Slightly hidden just off Dumbarton Road, Mr India's West End Balti and Dosa House has a 1970s curryhouse atmosphere. Its cheerful dining room is full of snug corners and potted plants, with dark wood and cream walls, while a red ceiling – complete with…
Moskito
200 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4HG
Bath Street has seen many a pub come and go but Moskito is now something of an old hand, having been trading steadily here since 2000. This seems largely due to its ability to appeal to a mixed crowd, offering a wide variety of beers, a comprehensive…
Nanakusa
441 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3LG
Before Nanakusa opened in November 2007, manager David Wan flew to the Far East to see exactly what made an authentic Japanese restaurant. Wan adored the teppanyaki, tempura and yakitori joints he stumbled upon, although nowhere could he find all the…
Neelim
1590 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G14 9DB
Most of the visitors to this well established Scotstoun restaurant live nearby. The venue has a no-frills approach to décor, but it is comfortable and welcoming, with subdued lighting. The modest interior belies an extensive menu, offering well-executed…
Negociants
45–47 Lothian Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1HB
Long established as a late-night eatery for nighthawk students and Edinburgh festival-goers (the Teviot and Udderbelly venues are just across the road), Negociants has recently been taken over by members of staff and was implementing various changes at…
OKO Express
78 Queen Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3DN
This sushi bar and Japanese grill redefines the post-pub/club fish supper when it reels in the beer-goggled during one of its late late opening nights. The bright red walls and semi-communal benches of a compact but surprisingly spacious dining area…
Papa Gill's
337 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 6AL
The Partick flagship of this modest Indian diner-café is something of a local institution, serving everything from filled rolls before noon to late-night curries, with a selection of burgers and other takeaway fare in between. Prices are reasonable. A…
Pierinos
11 Bernard Street, Leith,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6PW
Fish and chips down by the sea has always been a classic combination, though to be honest, Pierinos would fare just fine wherever it was located. The chips, so often a squidgy let-down, are crisp on the outside and soft and fluffy within. None of the…
Pizza Express
111 Holyrood Road,
Edinburgh,
EH8 8AS
As seems to be the case with much of metropolitan Britain, you don't have to venture too far in any part of Edinburgh before stumbling across one of the city's five Pizza Express restaurants. If you are looking for reliable, Italian food that won't…
Pizza Express
Waterview House, 38 The Shore,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6QU
As seems to be the case with much of metropolitan Britain, you don't have to venture too far in any part of Edinburgh before stumbling across one of the city's five Pizza Express restaurants. If you are looking for reliable, Italian food that won't…
Pizza Express
23 North Bridge,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1SB
As seems to be the case with much of metropolitan Britain, you don't have to venture too far in any part of Edinburgh before stumbling across one of the city's five Pizza Express restaurants. If you are looking for reliable, Italian food that won't…
Pizza Express
151 Queen Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3BJ
In 1965 Peter Boizot, an eccentric English entrepreneur, teamed up with a fiery Italian designer named Enzo Apicella to create a style-conscious restaurant in Soho. Pizza Express has since mushroomed into 300 restaurants across Great Britain. Both…

Pizza Express
32 Queensferry Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4QS
As seems to be the case with much of metropolitan Britain, you don't have to venture too far in any part of Edinburgh before stumbling across one of the city's five Pizza Express restaurants. If you are looking for reliable, Italian food that won't…
The Rainbow Arch
8–16 Morrison Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8BJ
Hopefully a planned refurbishment in 2008 will breathe new life into this well-established and popular restaurant. Owner Henry Tse also owns the downstairs Henry's Cellar Bar, with which the restaurant shares its rather basic toilets. The planned…
The Raj on the Shore
91 Henderson Street,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6ED
A huge welcoming smile on arrival is the first indication of the kind of cheerful experience that is eating at The Raj. With prices on Sunday to Thursday nights slashed to what they were at the famous curry house back in 1983, rather large smiles appear…
Rapido
77–79 Broughton Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3RJ
The usual chip shop favourites are neatly arrayed in sparkling stainless steel counters, but Rapido's vibrant blue and orange frontage promises – and delivers – more than your average chippy. The wide-ranging menu truly does offer something for…
Rawalpindi Tandoori
321 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3HW
Established some three decades ago, Rawalpindi describes its 'fine Indian cuisine' as 'probably the best in Glasgow'. The atmosphere inside the eatery, where swathes of pink material hang from the ceiling along with some rather wilted pot plants and a…
Silver Bowl
12 Albert Place, Leith Walk,
Edinburgh,
EH7 5HN
Silver Bowl has established itself as a creative takeaway that uses nothing but fresh ingredients. Although its menu has not changed in some time, it has little need to, as the choices are varied and fire in from all regions of China and Thailand.

Simply Thai
305 Leith Walk,
Edinburgh,
EH6 8SA
Leith is heavily populated with Chinese and, increasingly, Thai takeaways, but Simply Thai and its sister restaurant the Silver Bowl are among the best. There's no scrimping on the portions, which are generously meaty with good, fresh vegetables. The…
Smart City Café
Blackfriars Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1NE
With its pristine bar, outdoor courtyard and ample restaurant, Smart City Café adeptly caters for the travellers who make up the bulk of its clientele. The eating and drinking side of the operation is just one part of an upmarket backpackers' hostel…
Sonar Gao
191 Great Junction Street, Leith,
Edinburgh,
EH6 5LQ
Even at first glance, you can tell this Indian takeaway is a cut above the rest. Every item on the menu is meticulously described, and most customers are famished before they're half-way through. Sonar Gao prides itself on using fresh ingredients and…
Taste Good
67-71 Slateford Road,
Edinburgh,
EH11 1PR
Taste Good doesn't exactly fit the stereotype of a Chinese restaurant. At street level it is a busy takeaway catering for locals in the know, while in the basement there's a bright, airy dining space with modern décor and pleasant background music. The…
Thaisanuk
21 Argyle Place (or 112a Gorgie Road),
Edinburgh,
EH9 1JJ
This Marchmont restaurant, and its sister venture on Gorgie Road, mix up well known Thai dishes with aromatic Southeast Asian delicacies. Although their creamy, fragrant tom ka soup is difficult to overlook as a starter, Tibetan chicken wings, Japanese…
Topolino's
285 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3HQ
Topolino's is Italian for Walt Disney's most-famous little rodent, but there is nothing Micky Mouse about this restaurant. It is entered by a narrow staircase, which leads diners down to a stylish basement taverna. This is no dark, dank underworld…
Trattoria Siciliana
5a Union Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3LT
With a door that won't close, the lingering smell of cigar smoke, glaring lights and a disinterested waiter, Trattoria Siciliana doesn't make a great first impression. Frustratingly, remedies to the situation don't appear thick on the ground. Staff…
Xanadu
13–14 Dalziel Place, Meadowbank,
Edinburgh,
EH7 5TP
It is doubtful that Coleridge's stately pleasure-dome in Xanadu featured polystyrene ceiling tiles such as those found here. If, however, it had served Peking duck so succulent, with skin so sweet and crisp, then perhaps he would have forsaken the…
Zizzi
Building 5A, Edinburgh Quay, Fountainbridge,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9RU
Zizzi's three Edinburgh locations near cinemas and theatres hint at the transient nature of most of their diners. However, it would be wrong to write these stylish restaurants off as a quick stopping-off point for food before the latest blockbuster or…
