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…
Amber Chinese Restaurant
130-132 Byres Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8TD
The idea of a classy Chinese restaurant conjures up images of dimly-lit interiors with plush flock wallpaper and maybe an aquarium. The Amber retains the classiness and tries to refresh the traditional style with dark wood and drapery adorning the…
Anima
11 Henderson Row,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5DH
Anima isn't your average Friday night disco chippy where you shout over the pumping beat to order your salt'n'sauce. In fact, there's nothing average about this designer Italian takeaway at all. Situated in the heart of the New Town, Anima is a…

Ashoka Ashton Lane
19 Ashton Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 8SJ

Ashoka West End
1284 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8AB
Established over 25 years ago, Ashoka West End claims to sit on the corner of the longest street and the shortest road in Glasgow. It is undoubtedly something of a local landmark. Split over two levels, there is a bar and 25 seats at ground level and…
The Baked Potato Shop
56 Cockburn Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1PB
Tucked in at the top of Cockburn Street just off the madness of the Royal Mile, this tiny shop is something of an Edinburgh institution. This isn't just any baked potato shop: this is the baked potato shop, taking the humble spud and giving it a series…
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…
Beanscene
16 Cresswell Lane, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8AA
It may be part of a chain, but Scottish café enterprise Beanscene stands out by selectively adopting hallmarks such as consistency and friendly service and rewriting them in its own style. The deep leather couches, scattered tables and down-lighting…
Beanscene
110 Battlefield Road, Battlefield, Southside,
Glasgow,
G42 9JT
It may be part of a chain, but Scottish café enterprise Beanscene stands out by selectively adopting hallmarks such as consistency and friendly service and rewriting them in its own style. The deep leather couches, scattered tables and down-lighting…

Beanscene
1-3 Helena Place, Busby Road, Clarkston, Southside,
Glasgow,

Bombay Bicycle Club
6–6a Brougham Place,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9HW
As this guide went to press, the well-known Bombay Bicycle Club near Tollcross was undergoing a major refurbishment. There are plans to unveil the new look in April or May 2008. For updates contact the restaurant directly or check The List's Eating…
Bombay Feast
32 Hillhouse Road, Blackhall,
Edinburgh,
The open plan kitchen at the front of this Indian takeaway is good for two reasons. Firstly, if they are confident enough to be preparing your food in front of you then the basic ingredients are likely to be of decent quality. Secondly, watching the…
Bon Appétit
1150 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8TE
It may appear inconspicuous from the slightly run-of-the-mill exterior, but the food within Bon Appétit is something of note. In the open-plan kitchen, unfazed chefs stir curries bubbling in pans, turn meat sizzling on the char-grill and move steaming…
Bonoful
13–17 Brighton Place,
Edinburgh,
EH15 1LH
If first impressions are anything to go by, Bonoful – meaning 'flower forest' in Bengali – certainly lives up to its name. Its bright, inviting frontage is an oasis in the grey, just-off Portobello High Street location, and, inside, the clean…
Brooklyn Café
21 Minard Road,
Glasgow,
G41 2HR
The Brooklyn Café first opened in 1931 and its award-winning ice-cream has made it something of a Southside institution. Ask a member of staff and watch them become positively dewy-eyed about their main attraction. Ice-cream sundaes at Brooklyn are a…
Café Hula
321 Hope Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3PT
Café Hula has a bohemian air about it – wooden wall sconces hold flickering votive candles, and trailing pot plants hang at angles around huge, uneven-edged wooden tables, all watched over by an imposing statue of a skeletal, bible-clutching preacher.
Café JJ
180 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 6XE
Behind its sage-green exterior, Café JJ's good-natured and efficient staff are usually busy serving students, hospital workers, teachers and Partick ladies generous portions of full-flavoured, wholesome food. A starter of home-made Scotch broth has a…
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…

Glasgow,
G12 9QN
Among the red sandstone tenements of Clarence Drive sits a clutch of shops, complete with a butcher, a baker and Casa Blanca. Here, Hyndland locals can choose from a menu that caters for most desires. The options traverse the globe, and include pizzas…
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…
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…
Cherry & Heather Fine Food
7 North Gower Street,
Glasgow,
G51 1PW
Starting with a menu that kicks off with a home-made vegetarian sushi box (£1.95), it's immediately apparent that Cherry & Heather is not your typical takeaway. This exemplary bolt-hole in Cessnock (just off Paisley Road West, next to Bellahouston post…
Chiang Mai
15 Dalry Road, Haymarket,
Edinburgh,
EH11 2BQ
With the hectic activity of Haymarket just outside the window, Chiang Mai has long been a welcome haven of South East Asian calm for locals, commuters and rugby fans alike. Watched over by portraits of the Thai royal family, the lofty restaurant is…
Chop Chop
248 Morrison Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8DT
'Authentic' may be an over-used claim on many menus, but at Chop Chop it's entirely appropriate. Don't be fooled by the garish red and yellow façade: it might look like any other takeaway, but Chop Chop is the real deal. Genuinely charming and…
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…
Coia's Café
473 Duke Street,
Glasgow,
G31 1NG
Coia's has been dishing out Italian favourites, chip shop classics and, of course, its famous home-made ice-cream since it first opened its doors in 1928. Following a 2006 facelift and expansion – which included adding a well-stocked delicatessen…
Crêpe à Croissant
1 Ashley Street,

Dayraa Grill House
105 Albert Drive, Pollokshields, Southside,
Glasgow,
G41 2SU
Having changed hands since our last visit, the Dayraa Grill House has seemingly slipped in standards, perhaps concentrating instead on the takeaway market here in Pollokshields. The ground floor space still offers a warm and aroma-filled open kitchen…
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…

Dino's
35–41 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3AT
Glasgow institutions for four decades now, Dino's restaurants have perhaps two of the best locations in the city centre, with the Sauchiehall Street branch barely a stone's throw from the Royal Concert Hall and the outlet on Hope Street situated…

Edinburgh,
EH15 1HZ

Dragon Way
20 Warrender Park Road,
Edinburgh,
EH9 1JG
Although related to the Dragon Way restaurants in Clerk Street (undergoing a massive refurb in spring 2008) and Portobello, and offering a takeaway and delivery service drawn from a similar menu, this incarnation of the franchise is a smaller concern.
Dusit
49a Thistle Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1DY
Hearty Scottish produce and exotic Thai flavours may not make for the most obvious culinary marriage, but it's one that Dusit's skilled chefs consistently pull off with aplomb. All the usual favourites, such as intensely hot and sour tom yum soup…
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
2 Canonmills Bridge,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5LF
Eastern Spices has been a popular and reliable pit stop for lovers of Indian takeaway since it opened 11 years ago. The friendly staff manning the smartly appointed outlet will pass the time of day with regulars or warmly welcome a new face. The menu is…

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…
Eusebi Deli
793 Shettleston Road,
Glasgow,
G32 7NN
Formerly called Garlic, Eusebi Deli continues the tradition of a classic Italian delicatessen, updated with the contemporary cooking associated with today's modern fine food outlets. There is the stock in trade of various imported salami, hams and…
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 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…
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…
Fratelli Sarti
121 Bath Street/133 Wellington Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2SZ/G2 2X
That all of Glasgow's Sarti restaurants enjoy a healthy custom seven days a week is telling. A good shot at authenticity – as far as both Italian cuisine and ambience are concerned – seems to be the key. The Wellington Street flagship has a…
Gandhi's
50 East Fountainbridge,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9BH
Tucked away behind Lothian Road, Gandhi's might be small, but there's no shortage of ambition in this hidden gem. Though the dining space is long and narrow, the clean, modern décor, stylish pale wood furniture and tasteful lighting create an ambience…
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…
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…
Grand Fish & Chips
17 John Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1HP
Grand Fish & Chips, hitting its first anniversary in summer 2008, should put a halt to the proverbial revolving door of ventures to occupy these Italian Centre premises in recent memory. With this operation – featuring posh fish teas with a choice of…
The Greek Golden Kebab
34 Sinclair Drive,
Glasgow,
G42 9QE
Those unfamiliar with this Southside favourite might think the Greek Golden Kebab is a loving pastiche of a bygone age. Trellises between the six compact booths display fake vines and souvenirs, while tourist board photos of the owners' Cypriot homeland…
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…

Heart Buchanan
380 Byres Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8AR
It could be the location in the heart of the West End or the heart and soul that goes into the food produced in Fiona Buchanan's bustling deli-café that gave rise to the name for this gastronomic emporium. The interior has a rustic authenticity, with…
Henderson's Salad Table
94 Hanover Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1DR

Home Wok
101 Byres Road,
Glasgow,

Ignite
272–274 Morrison Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8DT
Ignite's West End location and surfeit of business diners might explain why its prices sit nearer the top end of the scale for Indian restaurants. But this place offers professional service and hearty food in slick, modern surroundings. The main problem…
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…

Inspiration Oriental Cuisine
9–10 Commercial Street,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6JA

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
136 Fenwick Road, Giffnock, Southside,
Glasgow,
G46 6XW
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…
Jasmine Chinese Restaurant
32 Grindlay Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9AP
The elegant interior and subdued orchestral music suggest that this is one of Edinburgh's more refined Chinese restaurants. But while this holds true for the food, on closer listening the seemingly classical music turns out to be an orchestral version…
Joanna's Cuisine
42 Dalmeny Street, Leith,
Edinburgh,
EH6 8RG
Although a little off the beaten track, near the bottom of Leith Walk, Joanna's is well worth the trek. The unassuming frontage belies the quality fare inside, which is all based on owner Joanna Wong's proud advocacy of healthy eating. The simple but…
Juiceling
3 Gordon Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3PL
Eager to keep queues moving, the funky Juiceling girls lean across the counter as customers shout orders above rasping blenders. The shop in the heart of Glasgow is dominated by bright menu boards, offering smoothies and juices in many freshly squeezed…
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
Slightly off the beaten track, this cute and kitsch wee place is dominated by its eponymous hostess. Whether she is dancing to the 80s power ballad soundtrack (don't worry, the music isn't that loud), or posing for photographs with one of the birthday…
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…
Kember & Jones
134 Byres Road,

Khanz
9 Baxter's Place,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3AF
Where once the greasy spoon institution Bronx sat looking down Leith Walk from the London Road roundabout is, after an interim period as Kebabish Original, now Khanz, an Indian restaurant with the catchline 'the thrill of the grill'. It has maintained…
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…
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…
Koh-i-Noor
12 Gibson Street,
Glasgow,
G12 8NX
The Koh-i-Noor claims to be the first takeaway in Glasgow to serve the now ubiquitous dish of chips and cheese, today seen all over the city in the hands of many a drunk student. But don't let that put you off. The chicken pakora is made with no…
Kwok Brasserie
44 Ratcliffe Terrace, Causewayside,
Edinburgh,
EH9 1ST
From the burgundy-coloured walls to the wine bottle candleholders, Kwok certainly looks the part of a neighbourhood brasserie. More excitingly though, it maintains the fine brasserie tradition of a daily changing menu – in this instance running…
Lai Thai
23 Brougham Place,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9JU
This recently refurbished restaurant has a tranquil feel, with saffron walls, candle-lit tables and Buddhist bric-a-brac creating a warm, contemplative atmosphere. Some tables have been removed, giving diners more elbow room and more space to kick back…
Lancers Brasserie
5 Hamilton Place,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5BA
Before you've even entered the building, Lancers has you salivating. A wafting aroma somehow manages to snake along Hamilton Place, enticing you in. The attentive staff do an equally good job of making you feel welcome. They also project a confidence…
Lanna Thai
32 Bridge Street, Musselburgh,
Edinburgh,
EH21 6AG
This family-run restaurant near the Brunton Theatre in Musselburgh has a committed local clientele that keeps its diminutive dining area busy all year round. Despite the somewhat dated décor, there's an upbeat atmosphere and the staff are friendly and…
Lily's
103 Ingram Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1DX
On first impressions, Lily's may seem somewhat stark – white tiled floor, pale walls and giant windows – but a warm welcome awaits guests at this busy Merchant City café/diner. The menu covers a selection of sandwiches, toasties and burgers, but what…
Little Italy
205 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8TN
This bustling café/takeaway has been busy serving up pizza slices for more than a decade and shows no sign of slowing down. Good coffee, simple food and a buzzing atmosphere make it a reasonably authentic piece of Italy on West End hot-spot Byres Road.
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…
Magda
6 Brougham Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9UH
Sparsely decorated and modestly furnished, Magda relies on a large poster of a map of Africa on one wall and the evocative sketch of a dhow inside the menus to set the scene. It could be a place for the adventurous eater to take a less adventurous…
Mamma's American Pizza Company (Takeaway)
139 Bruntsfield Place,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4EB
Since 1985, Mamma's has been making delicious, satisfying pizzas but has sometimes been let down by a lack of consistency. It offers a wide range of toppings which you can mix and match to your own taste, from the usual lines of pepperoni, olives and…
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 of…
Mise en Place
122–124 Nithsdale Road,
Glasgow,
G41 5RB
By day a very good deli and café, by night (four times a week, that is) a delightful bistro, Mise en Place is one reason why Southsiders don't need to rely on the transport infrastructure to maintain a good quality of life. Clean white lines and…
Miss Cranston's Tearoom
33 Gordon Street,
Glasgow,
G1 4PF
Perhaps it is unfair to judge Miss Cranston's Tearoom on a wet midweek afternoon, when the manager has been on leave and the café feels rather like an empty hotel dining room. This is an old-style Glasgow caff, whose largely unchanging formula has led…
Mr India's West End Balti and Dosa House
11–13 Hyndland Street,
Glasgow,
G11 5QE
