    Heatwave Chicken - chili Heatwave Doritos crumbs breading with heatwave crisps
    Tamia L.

    Sooo thé ambiance , décor and staff's personality put the visit at 4 stars for me! Specifically looking for our first restaurant upon arriving from US we want chicken and the reviews and pics drew us here! We both got the Heatwave Chicken with fries. Neither of us like the Doritos added in as a layer next to chicken and the chicken itself was crispy well cooked but there was no flavor or seasoning to it. I nexxed the sour cream and salsa .. just too much going on! Honestly it was the lettuce, tomato and sriracha mayo that made the sandwich. The Cheesy Chips bites was disappointing too. I dunno if it's norm here but the chips seemed hard and with processed cheese on top. Dude Ain't Russian was the bomb!! Coffee Rum and Kahlua is such a scrumptious combo and then all that chocolate! Don't forget to play Pass the Pigs! I don't recall our waitress name, perhaps Roe but I'd ask to be seated in her section every time! She was the star! Video captures what you should stop in for if nothing else! She had so much energy, charisma and all with great service! Live and keeps you in a good mood!

    Dip and Dunk Sliders
    Elizabeth B.

    The dip and dunk sliders are great! We came back a second time during our trip to have the sliders again. The chicken slider was particularly good. We didn't get any alcohol during either visit. The waitress seemed stressed, but she remembered us when we came in the second time a couple days later.

    Amazing eclectic experience. Awesome drinks - Boozy Cow cocktail was smashing. Sliders and boozy dog were delish. Staff friendly and caring.

    Meh. In a city filled with a ton of great restaurants, boozy cow was one that disappointed. We went at the recommendation of a friend, and both my wife and I are burger lovers. That being said, these burgers were some of the most underwhelming around. We should have known better when we walked in and were the only people sitting anywhere in the restaurant. The atmosphere is going for that grungy punk rock feel, but it results in a place that feels unclean (tables were sticky) and unapproachable. Do yourself a favor and go to another restaurant. Edinburgh has a ton of great options.

    Two five star reviews in Two days something has gone wrong surely, well no this review is just from last week and I hadn't got round to putting it on!! The boozy cow is your one stop burger shop ! I really can't say fairer than that, they will provide you with ; Food Drink Warmth Music And a bloody good time ! The food here is spectacular I have been a few times previously and I have never I repeat never been disappointed with the food ! This time Amanda H and I opted for the Dirty chicken and the special burger of the day which funnily enough as it was festival - was haggis ! Both excellently cooked and the picture of a good burger to eat ! The drinks , now here what I really like! They have a good extensive list of cocktails and also beers including vedett so all a good there but equally if not more importantly they have a really extensive range of non alcoholic drinks which is really really impressive The warmth speaks for itself from the service provided to the actual temperature ( the gents WC ) it certainly wakes you up! Live music from the bar played at a nice level not too quiet but loud enough for you to either loose at karaoke or chat to the rest of your table With all of the above facts considered now you can see what you WILL have a bloody good time

    Popped in for a quick bite before seeing the Foo Fighters after hearing decent things in the blogosphere. Got that typical dark, grungy vibe that is ever so popular at the moment with a sprawling lower level space. Lots of variety from the drink menu - good cocktail selection - but the ciders are leaning towards pricey at £4 for a can. Cocktails start from £5.50 and the milkshakes are really brilliant - thoroughly recommend their Oreo concoction. Basic selection as far as the menu goes; beef burgers, chicken burgers, hot dogs and a couple of veggie options. Chips are extra as is the norm in many burger places but not too pricey. Quality of food was pretty decent but nothing outstanding. Service was a bit of a let down, staff were pleasant enough but quite slow and difficult to flag down. Had to ask for parts of our order that were forgotten three times before they arrived which was frustrating however they did take it off our bill, nice gesture! Could be a nice place for an evening drink but not overwhelmed by food.

    With an attractive sign and fresh look I was tempted to try out this new bar/burger joint. Walking into the bar it looks amazing with fresh interiors and wall graffiti. However, after that point the experience started to change. After being seated, we looked at the selection of new beers and quirky food on offer. After 20 minutes waiting to order we should have left. Slow service and it felt more like a club than a bar with food section being left to the side. We ordered the burger and chilli cheese dog with sweet potato fries as sides. The food took over thirty minutes to be delivered. While the chilli cheese dog was pretty good, the burger was small and disappointing and more expensive. The beers while nice, were in cans and cost the same as a pint at other similar establishments. Overall, the place is not good value for your money and the service is bellow acceptable standard. I will not be returning.

    Doughnut & Nutella shake.
    Kenneth M.

    Aiming to be more 'street' than in its previous guise Boozy Cow offers fairly no nonsense hot dogs, shakes, burgers etc. like a number of other recently opened or rebranded places in Edinburgh. The doughnut and Nutella milkshake I had was as moreish as that combination would suggest (not a regular on the menu though I think) and the service was good and swift. What let the experience down for me was the slightly watery nature of the hot dog sausage - shading into that cinema food stand experience rather than something a bit more gourmet.

    Holy cow burger!!!!
    Holly C.

    Friendly, prompt service, wifi, burger that was exactly what we needed, hot sauce to die for, and good solid drinks that won't disappoint.

    Cheesesteak and skinny fries
    Peter H.

    Been here 2X. The first time was great, food came out fast and drink refills were on point. The second time was a bit different. I went alone and it still took over 30-35 min to get my food. I had to go up to the bar to get a refill for my adult beverage. The waitress saw me and ended up refilling it for me. She was just overwhelmed with her tables. The food was great both times and if u want a meal that will fill u up, it's worth it.

    Once I stepped through the door of what used to be the Amicus Apple; the Boozy Cow reminded me of a place I used to work in. Back in the late 80's I worked in a Student/Live music venue which had Spartan furniture, easy to clean floor, alternative grunge music and wall decorations and huge amount of our own handy work graffiti adorning the walls, doors and ceiling. THIS. What they are trying to achieve, I do not exactly know. They are missing some major attractions like .. uhuh.. draft beer? Bottled tonic water with a Hendriks Gin instead of from a spout - they ruined a perfectly nice gin. I got a 330ml can of Cornish Pilsner for £4.50 - Really? REALLY?! - Oh yes.. it came in a frozen glass. Whoop-Ti-Doo. No. Wrong. They may want to attempt to channel a bit of the Hard Rock Café culture, (they have the WiFi "table is ready" buzzers, but somehow they missed the point completely. Certainly the newly appointed staff is dressed fittingly sporting the Grunge / SKA dress code to a T. The bartender was suitably aloof and uninterested. I'd say if this was in Leith or Cowgate it would have made an okay, even a nice addition, but just around the corner of Princes Street it does not. I am sorry to see a place like this has opened in its current form and format. Luckily I have more to choose from in town and this will be avoided.

    Cherry coke float! Took me straight back to my childhood.
    Denise M.

    The food was good, let's start off there with the positive. I had a chipotle chicken burger and a cherry Coke float and I can't really fault them. The place itself, hmm, not a big fan of the chipboard walls and graffiti, and less of a fan of the metal floor, as everytime you moved your chair it made a racket! When we sat down we were told we were in for a "unique dining experience", we'd be eating of trays, no cutlery would be provided (unless we specifically asked) and napkins were in the form of an entire roll of kitchen roll. This is where I was less keen, I like cutlery, I was always going to ask for some. The metal trays, well, that was just a bit weird, sharing a tray of food with the person sitting opposite you. Not entirely sold on the idea, again, whats wrong with a plate?! Not sure what would have happened if one of us was veggie and didn't want our food on the same tray, wasn't an issue for us, but still. Overall, no, I don't think I'd go back, the burgers were nice, but it's not like Edinburgh has a shortage of burger places!

    My husband and I had an awesome time!

The theme inside was kinda surprising. It had a lot of movie and tv references, the most prominent being Star Wars. We also watched someone try their heat challenge. I'll just say I felt bad for the guy. We asked the waitress afterwards and she said not many pass. Most fail after 2-3 wings. Their normal heat selection goes from 1-8, but their heat challenge goes up to 11. For our food, I tried the Margarita wings, located in their "boozy" section. I really enjoyed these as they had a lot of flavor. I also got a side of mac and cheese, and chose chipuffalo sauce - a combo of chipotle and buffalo - it added a great flavor to the mac and cheese with just the right amoumt of heat. The other wings I tried were the Bit of French, which is garlic pepper flavored. It was actually really bland. I ended up dipping them into the remaining chipuffalo sauce. The restaurant is in a lot of stone, so you get almost no cell service. Just an FYI.

I think it is important for us to include in the review if the establishment is halal as we also have a lot of Muslim Yelpers and friends who would love to know that and we can help them in selecting restaurant. Zuhus has a menu very much like Nando's. Or shall I say 'exactly' like Nando's. It's basically mainly peri peri based chicken, burgers and wraps. I came here twice but only had the peri peri chicken. The guy who served me was very accommodating. I ordered half a chicken but with 2 quarter chicken legs and he gave it to me. The taste of he chicken was up to scratch and the meat itself was juicy and tender. The size of the chicken I believe is slightly bigger than what Nando's is serving, which is of course a value for money. They have won my points on all aspects on value, taste and portion. However, they have lost my point on creativity and originality. This place is an exact replica of Nando's. From the menu, sauce and the bottle for the sauce (tall rectangular bottle). Why can't they come up with something more original? I would still recommend people to come here and definitely be back again myself.

Personally, I would advise caution when venturing away from the chicken, as you are not assured of what you may actually get. Upon ordering a fish supper, I was provided with a thin morsel reminiscent with what I expect to find dished out during school dinners or to be found in the frozen section of Farmfoods. To rub salt into the wound, the chips were very thin and undercooked. Perhaps I am being unfair given the price range. Eshas offers a number of deals, presented on their front window, including at one point a 10 inch margarita pizza for £1.99! (although I believe this deal has since ceased). Overall, this place is perfect for the hungry student venturing back from a booze up seeking something with a high grease content, but if your seeking something with a bit more quality to constitute as an actual meal, it may be best to look elsewhere.

Esha's menu is incredibly diverse, offering dishes such as pizzas, burgers, curries and baked potatoes. I came to Esha's for dinner several months ago with a friend to buy a pizza and we had the ham and mushroom which was absolutely nothing to rave about. The mushrooms were really soft and appeared to have dissolved into the topping mixture, and the pizza base was quite soggy and burnt in places - not nice. My friend also ordered a portion of chips which were a far cry from the traditional Scottish chips we were expecting - these looked as though they had come from a frozen packet, and not a good one at that. The prices are very reasonable and a 15% student discount is available. You are able to order your meals online at Esha's website and they also offer a home delivery service which is convenient. The staff are friendly, and perhaps some of their other dishes are tastier than the pizza which I had.

Upon entering most Pizza Huts you will be greeted with something that resembles a post-war restaurant that was forgotten in a bunker mid-'80s. The food, while edible, is so greasy you could swim in it--this is not a meal you will sit back afterward with a satisfied smile. This is the sort of food that will have you doing a furtive walk of shame out the door after. I've known since entering the UK that American pizza chains are a horse of a different color. But Pizza Hut? Psht, no way even the UK could set PIZZA HUT to rights! Behold my surprise when hubs and I decided to take the plunge and have a quick pizza one night. We were greeted by a whole host of pleasant young lads and lasses, the place was brightly lit and clean as a whistle, and we in no short order had requested our veggie pizza and were reaping the fruits of labor from the salad bar (I forgot how much I love salad bars, yessss). We then got a chance to fiddle with the soda machine, which allows you to mix and match and even add spurts of flavor--another thing I forgot I enjoyed, where they're a dime a dozen back home. But dat pizza tho. IT WAS DELICIOUS. Perfect levels of crispy but soft crust with goat's cheese and vegetable toppings--needless to say we devoured every bite, no questions asked, and left happy customers. Extra bonus: the price! Psht, y'all know pizza hut be cheap as chips. So go forth my fellow Edinburghers. Go forth and eat delicious pizza and do not be ashamed, for it is good.
