L'Alba D'Oro
5–7 Henderson Row,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5DH
A chippy that offers prawns with garlic and ginger – and a 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…
Anima
11 Henderson Row,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5DH
Just off the foot of Dundas Street, next door to Edinburgh's most famous chip shop – the award winning L'Alba D'Oro – is Anima. Owned by the same people, Anima fills the bellies of its New Town neighbours and office workers with 'Italian soul food'…
Appetite Direct
42 Howe Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6TH
Most of Appetite Direct’s business is outside catering, from small private dinners to weddings and gallery openings. So it follows that their shop is no run-of-the mill deli. It’s a wonder what they produce from the small kitchen every day: several…
L'Aquila Bianca
17 Raeburn Place, Stockbridge,
Edinburgh,
EH4 1HU
L'Aquila Bianca is the grand old dame of Edinburgh chippies, with a shelf full of awards and numerous press clippings adorning its pristine walls. This Stockbridge favourite attracts punters from across the city as a result of the quality of both its…

204 Canongate,
Edinburgh,
EH8 8DQ
We operate as a coffee shop/cafe serving our own menu of items, mostly in the Japanese home cooking style of food. In addition we are developing our own made sushi which initially is makizushi including our own fusion dish, Haggis Makizushi.
The Baked Potato Shop
56 Cockburn Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1PB
The Baked Potato Shop has gained legendary status for keeping the crowds on the Royal Mile well-fed during the month of August. But it isn’t just during the summer that they’re busy. Crisp-skinned and fluffy inside, the potatoes are served in small…
Beirut
24 Nicolson Square,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9BX
Welcome to Edinburgh’s first Lebanese restaurant, which has a sleek modern interior, scenic views adorning the walls and the cream of Beirut’s music scene on the plasma screen. Sourcing Lebanese ingredients from suppliers in London, all dishes are…
Bombay Bicycle Club
6–6a Brougham Place,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9HW
This Tollcross stalwart of 18 years has been refurbished with sultry red walls, ceiling spotlights, air conditioning, white tablecloths and fresh flowers imported from Holland, but the menu could also do with a revamp. King prawn puris and prawn…
Bombay Feast
32 Hillhouse Road, Blackhall,
Edinburgh,
EH4 2AG
Bombay Feast provides a wide-ranging menu of Indian standards that those familiar with the cuisine would expect to see, as well as some more unusual options for those who wish to experiment. Choices such as lamb sarisha (in a mustard sauce), chicken…
Bonoful
13–17 Brighton Place,
Edinburgh,
EH15 1LH
Situated in Portobello, Bonoful has successfully built a reputation among regulars, and as word spreads is attracting custom from further afield. With a pristine modern minimalist interior, the menu specialises in Bangladeshi food but also includes…
Celadon
49–51 Causewayside,
Edinburgh,
EH9 1QF
Celadon’s façade may well be unassuming to the point of anonymity, but to walk on by is to miss a treat. Inside is a gloriously unfussy and welcoming restaurant that manages to combine simplicity and style without ever making a big deal of it. Sit on a…
Central Takeaway and Pizzeria
15/16 Teviot Place, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2QZ
This centrally located (hence the name) old-style Scottish chip shop does the simple things very well. While many chippers take the chips for granted, the crispness and texture of fried potato on offer here marks it out from the average takeaway. Being…
Chang Thai
29 Cockburn Street, 1 Craig's Close,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1BN
Chang Thai is the sort of place you stumble across by happy chance. Quite literally, if you aren’t careful – it’s hidden in a wynd down a sharp flight of stone steps between Cockburn and Market Streets. It’s worth the risk of a sprained ankle though…
Chop Chop
248 Morrison Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8DT
Be sure to phone up in advance of heading to Chop Chop, not least because the well-lit, no-frills canteen is busy at the quietest of times. The newer Commercial Street incarnation, with its classical Chinese prints and more clinical décor, generates a…
Cinnamon
249 Portobello High Street,
Edinburgh,
EH15 2AW
Located in an unassuming shop front at the quiet end of Portobello High Street, Cinnamon is dominated by the spotless stainless-steel open kitchen where fresh ingredients are prepared to order as you watch and wait. As well as the usual selection of…
The Clay Oven
86 Morningside Road,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4BY
A steady stream of business flocks to this neighbourhood restaurant, and passing trade is not the secret. Loyal Morningside residents provide the mainstay for success in an establishment where pristine white linen tablecloths and handsomely uniformed…
The Deep Sea Takeaway
2 Antigua Street, Leith Walk, Leith,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3NH
The Deep Sea, which has been around since 1920, has minimal décor and no seating, and wastes no time with frills or gimmicks. Its location amongst some of the busiest clubs and pubs in Edinburgh still ensures a healthy trade. The dough is made fresh on…
Dragon Way
10d/10e Bath Street, Portobello,
Edinburgh,
EH15 1HZ
Dragon Way knows how to make a first impression. Crammed with ornate artefacts imported from China, the larger Southside restaurant includes a huge water feature and gold decorations galore, its sumptuous surroundings bordering on 'ghetto chic'. It's a…
Dragon Way
74–78 South Clerk Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9PT
Dragon Way is certainly not your run-of-the-mill Chinese restaurant. Yes, the friendly staff serve up generous portions of shredded duck rolls and sesame prawn toast, spicy Lar Chee beef and slightly-less-spicy Cheung Bau chicken. And yes, you can get…
Dusit
49a Thistle Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1DY
A perfect tempura prawn sums up the expertise on display here: a prawn of unparalleled creaminess, the panko breadcrumbs brittle and crisp in contrast. It’s the benchmark of almost a decade of lauded cooking that fills seats on a wet Monday evening as…
Eastern Cuisine
2-6 Dalry Road, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH11 2BG
The basic-looking premises here are at odds with the quality of the food produced. There is a pleasing and distinct lack of additives in the food, and even the spring rolls, which have a satisfying crunch to them, are made in-house. The beef dishes are…
Eastern Spices
6 Howard Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5JP
Based in Canonmills and something of a local institution, Eastern Spices is secure in its good name with local curry-heads. This security can result in a little complacency on occasion, but when it’s good, Spices is very, very good. A starter of chana…
Eatalia's
1 Brunswick Place, Leith Walk,
Edinburgh,
EH7 5HP
Owned by Ida Scarano nee Crolla, of the Leith Walk dining dynasty who run Vittoria’s next door and La Favorita down the road, it almost goes without saying that Eatalia’s is a dependable local takeaway joint. The menu was refreshed in March 2011 and…
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…
The Far Pavilions
10–12 Craigleith Road, Comely Bank,
Edinburgh,
EH4 2DP
There is something reassuring about a long-established restaurant located in the middle of a leafy suburb. Primarily dependent on locals for trade, such places can't afford not to have their main customer base on side. Craigleith's comfortable Far…
La Favorita
325–331 Leith Walk,
Edinburgh,
EH6 8SA
The hectic craft of kneading and folding pizza dough is the first thing you see on entering this busy Leith Walk eatery. Walk past the front counter, through the lively, three-pronged dining area, and you'll notice most diners are working their way…
La Favorita (Takeaway)
325–331 Leith Walk,
Edinburgh,
EH6 8SA
Not for nothing does owner Tony Crolla boast that La Favorita offers 'the best pizza in Edinburgh'. His tasty, log-fired pizzas have become his calling card, arriving at your door with as much flavour and zing as you'd expect from its restaurant…
La Fontana
1 Howard Street, Canonmills, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5JP
The arrival of La Fontana in mid-2006 continues the Mediterranean tradition for this prominent, but ever-changing Canonmills site. The neon 'Ristorante Italiano' sets the tone for a faux-brick bar and rousing Italian pop music. There are more than two…
Gandhi's
50 East Fountainbridge,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9BH
The lack of an alcohol licence in this intimate restaurant just off Lothian Road means the focus is on the quality of the cooking and the pleasant, laid-back ambience. Take a look over the extensive menu while sipping a smooth, tasty mango lassi or one…
Gili Gulu
57 Clerk Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9JQ
A comprehensive website and direct online ordering, as well as weekday lunchtime opening, marks Gili Gulu as a sharp, well-run operation. Lying in a prime position for students, the interior is clean and bright and the service prompt. An extensive menu…
Giovanni's
94 Northfield Broadway,
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…
Golden Pond
1 Seaforth Terrace, Queesnferry Road,
Edinburgh,
EH4 2BS
Sitting in the dip of Blackhall's Queensferry Road, Golden Pond has gained a favourable reputation over the past 20 years with the locals in Edinburgh's West End. With a few surprises on the typically glossy takeaway and home delivery menu, you'll find…
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…
Haq's Restaurant & Takeaway
4 Albert Place,
Edinburgh,
EH7 5HN
Formerly known as Rice & Spice, Haq's Restaurant and Takeaway provides quality Indian food at reasonable prices. Newspapers, light green lamps and silver tables provide a comfortable setting for customers sitting in or for those ordering takeaway.
Henderson's Vegetarian Restaurant
94 Hanover Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1DR
Established in 1962, Henderson’s will celebrate its 50th anniversary next year. No mean feat for a restaurant that started life as an outlet for dishes made with produce from Janet Henderson’s kitchen garden at the family's East Lothian farm. From…
Ignite
272–274 Morrison Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8DT
Don’t be misled by the incendiary name of this Haymarket restaurant: Ignite can lay claim to being one of the most relaxed Indian restaurants in the capital. There’s no background music, the décor is smart though muted and simple, and the waiters weave…
India Today
176 Morningside Road,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4PU
Now owned and run by its former chef and his wife, India Today gives you the chance to take a culinary tour of India with a single phone call. Choosing typical dishes from each region of the country, the menu is bewilderingly large, but, thankfully…
The Indian Cavalry Club
22 Coates Crescent,
Edinburgh,
EH3 7AF
Edinburgh’s West End is admittedly spoilt for choice for superior Indian eateries. Nevertheless, the mannered Georgian façade of the Indian Cavalry Club conceals a restaurant that is truly a breed apart. A genteel mood pervades the stately, low-lit…
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.
Itihaas
17–19 Eskbank Road, Dalkeith,
Edinburgh,
EH22 1HD
A corner position in Dalkeith’s town centre gives Itihaas lots of daylight from windows on two sides, enhancing the appeal of this pristine, owner-run establishment. Sepia-toned pictures add atmosphere, but ethnic style is soft-pedalled in favour of…
Jasmine Chinese Restaurant
32–34 Grindlay Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9AP
Just across the road from the Lyceum Theatre and open late every evening, Jasmine is ideal for theatregoers. The service, like the place itself, is quiet and on the polite side of friendly, but when the kitchen door opens there’s a reassuring level of…
Jimmy's Good Food
179 Bruntsfield Place,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4DG
Funnily enough, the name says it all with this wee Bruntsfield takeaway. You'd have thought that anywhere audacious enough to call itself Good Food would offer anything but, but thankfully they're telling the truth on this one. The classic-format…
Jolly Ristorante & Pizzeria
9 Elm Row, Leith Walk,
Edinburgh,
EH7 4AA
A bright red sign pronouncing the restaurant's whereabouts cheerfully stands out amid Elm Row's other established businesses, beckoning in passers-by from the bustle of the town centre. The interior is dark and slightly worn by contrast, but incoming…
Kam Po
34 West Preston Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9PY
A relative newcomer to the Edinburgh restaurant scene, Kam Po has set its standards pretty high. With beautifully fresh fare and service so attentive it borders on embarrassing, it's only a matter of time before news of this family-run Southside gem…
Karen Wong's Chinese Restaurant
107–109 St Leonard's Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9QY
St Leonard’s Street on a damp weekday evening can be a dreary experience, but there’s a bright yellow beacon that is Karen Wong’s Chinese Restaurant. Inside, you’ll find the place comforting rather than adventurous, in terms of both food and…
Kebab Mahal
7 Nicolson Square,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9BH
Ideally situated for starving students, the long-established Kebab Mahal plays to its strengths as a restaurant-takeaway serving good value, no-frills food in bountiful quantities. Although technically they take reservations, the process tends to be…
Khartoum Café
6 Gillespie Place,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4HS
With a friendly welcome from owner Abubakar Gaili it is difficult not to feel cheery within Khartoum's bright yellow walls. This may be why it is so hard to bag a seat at lunchtime, although the fact there are only five of them may also play a part.
The Khukuri Nepalese Restaurant
8 West Maitland Street,
Edinburgh,
EH12 5DS
It would be easy to walk past The Khukuri on a daily basis and not notice it's there. Which is a shame, because this Nepalese restaurant has much to offer. From outside, there's no sign of the seating within, but once you enter, a warm welcome is…
Khushi’s Diner
32b West Nicolson Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9DD
For the last couple of years this has been the locus of the veteran Khushi’s brand, long-time staple of the Edinburgh curry scene. The Newington incarnation is designed with good cheer in mind, with a mix of red banquettes and cosy tables interspersed…
Kwok Brasserie
44 Ratcliffe Terrace, Causewayside,
Edinburgh,
EH9 1ST
The ever-cheery Peter Kwok appears to have a loyal following and he offers them what they want, with a menu covering all the dependable classics from Singapore noodles to sesame prawn toasts. The additional daily specials menu injects some welcome…
Lancers Brasserie
5 Hamilton Place,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5BA
Stationed above the banks of the Water of Leith, Lancers Brasserie is a popular standby with Stockbridgers looking for a decent, if unchallenging, curry. The adequate mains choice is boosted by a more than usually extensive wine list chosen with a…
Loon Fung
2 Warriston Place, Canonmills,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5LE
Loon Fung has been dishing up Cantonese dishes to the residents of Canonmills for almost forty years and regulars still count for the majority of the business. And it is clearly the food as opposed to the functional décor that is the lure. Classics…
Los Cardos
281 Leith Walk,
Edinburgh,
EH6 8PD
The newest muchacho on Edinburgh’s Mexican block may appear to offer the standard range of fajitas, burritos and tacos but, thanks to a pick ’n’ mix formula, every wrap is made to measure. With a decent range of styles, fillings and toppings available…
The Maharajahs
1-2 Liberton Dam,
Edinburgh,
EH16 6AJ
Located in a residential area in the Southside, Maharajahs is both a restaurant and takeaway/delivery offering a wide variety of Bangladeshi and Indian dishes. An informative website presents the restaurant’s range of vegetarian and seafood starters…
Marcella's Italian Bakery
20A Brougham Place, Tollcross,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9JU
Marcella's Italian Bakery is cheeky little retro café/takeaway that serves some of the best, and cheapest, pasta in town. The interior is cluttered and confusing, but the food on offer makes up for the rather eclectic surroundings. The lasagne is one…
The Mosque Kitchen
31 - 33 Nicolson Square,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9BX
As one of Edinburgh's most distinctive eating spots, the outdoor curry café beside Edinburgh's Central Mosque off Potterow had a bit of a cult following. Over the summer of 2011, however, the original operation will wind down, with a more conventional…
Mr Hot Potato
12 Wolseley Place, Jock's Lodge,
Edinburgh,
EH8 7AD
Situated on the main road carrying commuters out of the city to the east, Mr Hot Potato offers nutritious fast food that's also incredibly good value. For a mere handful of change, you can have a hefty, hot baked potato with any two fillings, and the…
Mya
Unit 9, Commercial Quay, 92 Commercial Street,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6LX
Muted beige walls and sleek wooden chairs offer no hint of the colourful cultural influences at work in Mya's kitchen. The dual Thai and north Indian menu seems to have been borne of the idea that groups of potential diners struggle to agree on what to…
Naked
35 Palmerston Place,
Edinburgh,
EH12 5AU
Note: in January 2011 Naked deliveries were suspended while the operation moved to new kitchen premises.
With a simple ethos of using the best local and seasonal ingredients to create great-tasting dishes, Naked Takeaway is building a fanbase in the…
Namaste Kathmandu
17–19 Forrest Road,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2QH
This Nepalese/Indian mashup is a cheerful place, festooned in swags of red fabric and sundry subcontinental artefacts, with an air of contented bustle. Starters include kukhuri ko sekwa (chunks of chicken dry-fried in mild herbs) and traditional…
New Edinburgh Rendezvous
10a Queensferry Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4PG
The New Edinburgh Rendezvous probably has the most misleading moniker in Edinburgh. There is absolutely nothing new about this grand old timer, which first opened its doors back in 1956. The faded entrance sadly looks like it has not been refurbished…
The New Masala Pot
25 Parsons Green Terrace,
Edinburgh,
EH8 7AF
Hidden behind a bus stop next to an electricity sub-station, The New Masala Pot’s exterior can be a little off-putting on first visit, and the slightly jaded, two-tone curry-coloured interior doesn’t help. Making the leap to eat from here can be quite…
New Town Deli
42 Broughton Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3SA
Broughton Street housed the first Globe Deli back in 1993, with outlets on Henderson Row and Bernard Street (Leith) now completing a trinity across north Edinburgh. Clearly embedded in each community, the Globe stands for good food with no fuss.
The Newington Traditional Fish Bar
23 South Clerk St,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9JD
Describing itself as a specialist fish bar, the recently established Newington Traditional Fish Bar is about as close as any chippy gets to offering fine dining, ignoring kebabs, pizzas (unless they’re deep fried, admittedly) and other staple shelf…
9 Cellars Thali
1–3 York Place,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3EB
For a true taste of India seek out 9 Cellars Thali. Inside it’s basic and functional with red walls and bright pictures, but there are lots of nooks and crannies for romantics or a large dining area perfect for parties. The menu is slim but, while…
Oink
34 Victoria Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2JW
With nothing less than a full roast pig gracing the window, it’s no wonder that Oink manager Eilidh Marshall’s favourite thing about the job is observing the reactions from passers-by. Everything from massive double-takes to looks of horror and peals…
Oishii
176 Rose Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4AB
Pretty little black-lacquered Oishii is far from Rose Street’s tourist traps. The menu ticks all the usual Japanese boxes with noodles, teriyaki and tempura all present, correct and competently executed, but here the sushi is the real star. Sushi…
The Original Mosque Kitchen and Café
Edinburgh Central Mosque, 50 Potterrow,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9BT
Without delving too deeply into some slightly murky internecine politics, we can report that once again there's curry being served in the courtyard beside Edinburgh's Central Mosque. Previous occupants 'Mosque Kitchen' established a new restaurant…
Palmyra Pizza
22 Nicolson Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9DH
Situated on Nicolson Street, Palmyra is in a prime spot to corner the student market and, with a 10% discount for scholars, it has succeeded. The pizzas are slightly doughy and greasy, but toppings are generous. The Lebanese-owned outfit really comes…
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…
The Ping On
26-32 Deanhaugh Street, Stockbridge,
Edinburgh,
EH4 1LY
A handy location, late opening hours and moody atmosphere have allowed Ping On to build up a loyal legion of Stockbridge regulars. At first glance its reputation appears deserved, with its cosy low lighting and tastefully kitsch décor. But although the…
The Prince Balti House
11/12 Seafield Road East, Portobello,
Edinburgh,
EH15 1EB
It may not be the most enticing spot for a restaurant, being wedged between a busy roundabout and a bus depot at the end of Seafield industrial estate, but the enthusiastic, cheery welcome from staff at this Portobello curry house more than compensates…
The Rainbow Arch
8–16 Morrison Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8BJ
A long established Chinese restaurant just off Lothian Road, the Rainbow Arch has arguably moved into the shadow of its basement offshoot, Henry’s Cellar Bar, one of the city’s best regular jazz spots. As with a number of traditional Chinese…
The Raj Restaurant on the Shore
87–91a Henderson Street Leith,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6ED
Worthy of a visit not least for the fine view overlooking the Water of Leith, the Raj on the Shore is also notable for a fine selection of diverse meals, each of which is cherry-picked from current Indian and Bangladeshi trends by owner and self-styled…
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…
Red Fort
10 Drummond Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9TU
This modern-style, 50-seater restaurant shows an engaging determination to tick every box you could possibly desire. Open seven days, service kicks off at noon with a buffet lunch (free for under threes, £3.50 for under tens, £6 for students, or £6.85…
Ricebox
28 Easter Road,
Edinburgh,
EH7 5RG
The Easter Road and Leith Walk area of town is home to a growing number of top-quality takeaways and one of the first of these, Ricebox, is still going strong. It has a huge menu providing a variety of standard and unusual dishes alongside pak choi and…
Rivage
126–130 Easter Road,
Edinburgh,
EH7 5RJ
Away from the city centre on busy Easter Road, Rivage is worth seeking out. Light and airy inside, the tandoori kitchen is open plan so all can see owner and head chef Ryad Meeajane cooking the food from scratch. The menu is relatively short, only two…
Ruan Siam
48 Howe Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6TH
Tucked away down a short but steep stone staircase in the New Town, first impressions of Ruan Siam are akin to finding a hidden, imaginatively decorated grotto. Rather an overly romantic impression, perhaps, but the feeling is reinforced by the warm…
Shanaz
45 Raeburn Place,
Edinburgh,
EH4 1HX
When you don’t want to go out, but really fancy a curry, Shanaz could be your answer. Delivering within 3 miles of its Stockbridge base, Shanaz offers a fairly standard Indian/Bangladeshi menu, albeit with a few exclusives. Of these, Kingfisher chicken…
Shapla
87 Easter Road,
Edinburgh,
EH7 5PW
The ever-reliable Shapla is still going strong after 18 years of knocking out top-notch Bangladeshi cuisine and regional Indian specialities. Chef Abdul Kabir serves up a selection of traditional and twisted dishes from his homeland alongside…
Silver Bowl
311 Leith Walk,
Edinburgh,
EH6 8SA
With three branches in the area, Silver Bowl has cornered the Leith market for modern Chinese and Thai take-out. Thai is available from the Albert Place branch, while Chinese can be picked up or delivered from all three. Booking can be made easily…
Sonar Gao
191 Great Junction Street,
Edinburgh,
EH6 5LQ
A classic Bangladeshi menu, friendly staff, spotlessly clean premises and – perhaps – the free poppadum and chutney with every order keep the phone ringing at Sonar Gao. There’s nothing out of the ordinary about the menu, but a consistently high…
Songkran
24a Stafford Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 7BD
Down in a West End basement, Songkran is in its tenth year of serving local professionals and those patrons who look hard enough to find it. The small venue maintains a very personal operation through staff that make that extra effort and does a brisk…
Spirit of Thai
44 Grindlay Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9AP
Spirit of Thai is a very professional outfit. It’s obvious from the moment you step into the tastefully dressed room – all muted tan shades and carefully positioned woodcarvings – and are greeted by the immaculately turned out staff, that this is more…
Suruchi
14a Nicolson Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9DH
Bang opposite the Festival Theatre, Suruchi (sister to Suruchi Too, in Leith) is a familiar and well-loved resident of Nicholson Street. Opened in 1986, it hasn’t changed much since. The staircase to its first-floor home is looking tired and the decor…
Suruchi Too
121 Constitution Street,
Edinburgh,
EH6 7AE
Not quite in buzzing Leith and some way beyond the Foot of the Walk, Suruchi Too sits discretely behind a grand facade on Constitution Street. Inside this roomy restaurant, the bright and cheery cream and red décor, replete with Indian knick knacks and…
