    Amazing grilled dishes here!! Please don’t miss out the lamb chops and chicken wings😍The chief is a genus ! The local tradition ones like fish&chips are nice but better try his hometown Turkey food, an super impressive taste, also a taste of cultural experience 👍👍👍

    The best fish and chips we have had in the UK, very good value, better than you would expect on a tourist street. Comes in a nice to go box. Meat cooked over charcoal was also nice, the food is cooked in front of you, not in the back.

    Warm friendly place to get great food and coffee. Small and quaint with friendly helpful staff offering other great looking food and decent prices. I had a pastrie which is a must of you like Danish for breakfast (or anytime). Would definitely visit again to explore further food and drink.

    Newly opened place. Went to get take out today and had one of the best experiences. I had a fish sandwich i can surely say it’s better than the ones I’ve had before. Also the staff are amazing, they were very friendly. One last great thing was the pricing you get your moneys worth. I am truly impressed and would sure be going back.

    Just had dinner here after finding myself without dinner plans one night of my vacation to Edinburgh and I was craving some kebab. It ended up being good news for me! This place is excellent! The food is fresh and flavorful, and cooked on a real grill (and tastes to match!). Everything is seasoned perfectly, plus the chef/owner is so very friendly. There’s a small counter to eat in, which I did but I imagine they mostly do takeaway. I even saw you can order online! My only regret is that my trip isn’t longer because I wish I could come back five more times. So good!

    Excellent! We stopped in for a late evening take-away. The proprietors were so lovely, and the food was on point. Their menu is extensive and very reasonably priced. The dining area is minimal, however—bar seating only—so keep that in mind. Completely unpretentious and delicious. You won't regret coming here. 👍👍

    Walked passed and they had a good looking menu with lots of choice. They also sell deep fried Mars bars... so if you haven't tried one yet, and you are in Edinburgh, then you know where to go! 👍😂

    Delicious, fresh food for fantastic prices and kind hospitality. My chicken shush kabob plate, which I covered in garlic sauce, was such a plentiful serving I could not finish it all!

    Extremely delicious,highly recommend. We ordered 2 chicken wraps,large fries,nutella and strawberry waffle with some icing sugar and a toast. Everything was great,the chips was amazing,the place itself is small but made very cozy. The taste indeed is different. Everything is made on a charcoal barbecue which is making it very unique. Will be my new favorite place to visit every day.

  • 1/5 mrjackpoos 1 year ago on Google
    Spent £38.00 on 2 mixed kebab and 2 x chips I am amazed at how small the portions of meat are and how they get away with it! Avoid at all costs if you want to keep your bank balance and feel you’ve eaten something. Very very poor is all I can say. Chap was nice enough but got a long long way to go. Extortionate pricing!
