Empires
24 St Mary's Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1SU
There’s a dark, exotic, Aladdin’s Cave feel to Empires – a one-off kind of place that has walls covered with Middle Eastern fabrics and tiles, multi-coloured globe lamps dangling from the ceiling, and an upstairs seating area full of scatter cushions…
Hanam's
3 Johnston Terrace, Edinburgh, EH1 2PW
Hanam’s is rightly revered for its Kurdish cooking. The restaurant is spread over two floors of a characterful period building, including a terrace that’s – unsurprisingly – in demand on summer days and a separate dining room that's ideal for private…
Beirut
24 Nicolson Square, Edinburgh, EH8 9BX
In the mini Middle Eastern pocket growing around Edinburgh's Mosque, which began with Kebab Mahal and Jordan Valley and continues with the newly added Mosque Kitchen and Nawroz, Beirut adds Lebanese food to the mix. Owner Ahmed Saadi opened in 2010, and…
Frankfurter Eck
62 Elm Row, Edinburgh, EH7 4AQ
German food can suffer from people's unfair preconceptions. Seek out Edinburgh’s first German restaurant, Frankfurter Eck to have these prejudices overturned. Behind a blink-and-you’ll miss it frontage on an unlikely block is a basic interior with…
Papoli
244a Morrison Street, Edinburgh, EH3 8DT
Papoli really is a little gem. Outside, the Haymarket traffic rumbles by, while inside its dinky dining room is a retreat of warm orange and yellow pendant lighting hanging low. Prints of Provence (perhaps?) and Greece hint at the culinary offering but…
Nur
22 Bridge Street, Glasgow, G5 9HR
Run by a Scots-Egyptian couple, Nur is an oasis of warmth, friendliness and good food. A cosy mezzanine is furnished with low tables, divans and plenty of cushions, while the downstairs dining space is dotted with shisha pipes, papyrus and pottery. As…
Hanedan
41 West Preston Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9PY
Ebullient head chef and owner Gursel Bahar orchestrates operations in busy, bustling Hanedan, whirling between tending meat on the grill and whipping away meze plates from delighted diners. Bahar has been turning out Turkish favourites to a loyal…
Nile Valley
6 Chapel Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9AY
Nile Valley has remained almost completely unchanged for years. The posters wallpapering the stairs down to the dingy basement dining area rotate, advertising new club nights and student drama productions. It’s a Sudanese restaurant, with popular Middle…
The Bay Tree Café
403 Great Western Road, Glasgow, G4 9HY
Around since 1960, the Bay Tree Café has a relaxed air to it, the walls and shelves decorated with various Arabian/Mediterranean knick-knacks. If the décor evokes one region though, then the menu is far broader ranging. The breakfast menu is available…
The Calabash Restaurant
57 Union Street, Glasgow, G1 3RB
What The Calabash Restaurant lacks in interior décor, it makes up for in brilliantly imaginative cooking. Located down a steep flight of stairs at an unremarkable Union Street address, the menu is packed with colourful dishes from all over Africa…
Nawroz
26–30 Potterow, Edinburgh, EH8 9BT
Nawroz is the new kid on the exotic block of mainly Middle Eastern eateries surrounding Edinburgh Central Mosque. Run by four close friends who pride themselves on offering authentic Kurdish and Middle Eastern cuisine, it is still finding its feet, but…
Spoilt for Choice
19 Marionville Road, Edinburgh, EH7 5TY
Billing itself as Edinburgh's new home of 'soul food' this Afro-Caribbean take away in Meadowbank has big plans: lunchtime opening starts in May 2012 and they are scouting sites for a dedicated restaurant. These are bold moves for a tiny site with just…
Word of Mouth
3a Albert Street, Edinburgh, EH7 5HL
It’s only five years old, but already Word of Mouth is one of Edinburgh’s definitive neighbourhood cafés, a recommended stop not just for the food but for the range of activities they manage to cram into the small dining space. An open mic poetry and…
Bigos
277 Leith Walk, Edinburgh, EH6 8PD
There is a home-spun image created by the rough hewn wooden word 'Bigos' nailed on to the front of this tiny restaurant. And despite the dangerous looking agricultural implements and animal skins hanging on the walls, Bigos does without doubt have a…
The Khyber
221 St Andrew's Road, Glasgow, G41 1PD
Though the lightly spiced, smooth, buttery dhal is delicious, there’s no denying you come to the Khyber to eat meat. Welcome, then, is the special kebab starter with the chance to sample each of the meats on offer. Marinated lamb mince sheek kebab is…
Athena Greek Taverna
1116 Argyle Street, Glasgow, G3 8TD
This restaurant is a cosy and welcoming place, with years of preparing Greek fare behind it – one of the owner’s grandfathers ran the original Athena Greek Taverna in the city’s Southide, and culinary skill has obviously been passed on. The hummus makes…
Enjoy
393–395 Great Western Road, Glasgow, G4 9HY
The décor of Great Western Road’s Enjoy is fairly unassuming. The airy wooden-floored room is filled up with chunky leather sofas and bucket armchairs, which surround low-slung coffee tables. The walls are plain but for occasional minimalist framed…
Thai Teak
Muirhead of Pitcullo Farm, Dairsie, by Cupar, Fife, KY15 4SF
One of Fife’s more unusual farm diversification enterprises, Thai Teak comprises a converted farm building full of chunky, carved wood furniture and other artefacts imported from Thailand, with a separate, raised wooden cabin housing a daytime café. The…
Brazilian Sensation
117–119 Buccleuch Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9NG
Open since 1998, this Brazilian restaurant in the Southside has been helping the people of Edinburgh delude themselves – despite any cold temperatures or grey skies – that they are in fact somewhere tropical, where the sun shines and the dancing never…
Russian Passion
5 Canonmills, Edinburgh, EH3 5HA
It’s rare to find a restaurant in Scotland that opens up unexplored gastronomic worlds and where pretty much everything on the menu is a new experience. Russian Passion in Canonmills, a café and restaurant run by Maria Belyaeva and her chef Luba, is one…
