I whooped when I saw dosa on the menu - love me some spicy pancake. The chickpea filling offered two choices, sweet or spicy. I opted for spicy - it was so tasty, but the initial spice had so much kick it gave me a sneezing fit - oops! The husband got a paneer masala which came with a generous amour of cubed cheese goodness in a rich and delicious sauce. Our pilau rice was delivered in a bag rather than a contain, which we thought was weird but it didn't detract. We also ordered a veggie pakora and thought "oh, we'll go for the large as we're sharing". Unwrapping a huge bag filled with crisp pakora bites we realised our folly - we were still snacking on the leftovers 2 days later! All in all, a solid curry that delivered on flavour and portion size. A little slow in getting to us (over an hour as I recall) but as we ordered through Just Eat we were given an update on the delivery time, so at least we knew.

For my first experience of a kebab, I was suitably impressed. And I wasn't even drunk! This…read moretakeaway just looks like your average takeaway, and even has a fruit machine. That makes me chuckle. After never having a kebab we went here one Saturday night because it always smells so good when you walk past. We both had the special which was about £8 each. Quite expensive! But it turned out to be on of those silver dishes with pita bread filled with every type of meat imaginable. Chicken, lamb, beef and that weird stuff they shave. I'm not sure what meat that is? With lashings of sauce and salad, it was a huge meal. Neither of us finished it but it was pretty damn good. The meat was tasty and tender, not the chewy, tasteless crap I was expecting. The menu also offers pizzas and chips too, and it seems quite popular as there was a constant stream of people going in and out while we waited. I would think the true test of a kebab is if it is edible when sober. Therefore, this place passes with flying colours.

It is hard to park outside during the day but at night it is no wonder that the place is always packed. One never has to wait long in the queue as the staff have an excellent system which has each customer dealt with speedily. The prices are reasonable and there is always a good selection. Unlike most other chip shops one never has to wait on anything. I would recommend caution very late at night as there is a high level of delinquents hanging around, as they generally do around the Drum Brae area. Ps. take a look at their specials as there is always something interesting.

I'm fairly use to McDonalds being like a war zone. Dirty tables, people falling over, all that jazz. I was pleasantly surprised when I needed to kill some time in the Drumbrae(ish) area and went in to get a coffee. The place was clean. This seemed to be completely down to one woman who was meticulously and continuously combing the entire place and making sure everywhere was spotless. There also seems to be some magic going on and it was really easy to ignore the loud, screaming children. I think they've done something fancy with the layout of the place. For the (rare) pleasant McDonalds experience this place deserves five stars. Additionally, there isn't much in the area in the way of cafes and it definitely fills a gap. Alas, it's still a McDonalds and my spontaneous chips (chips and coffee is totally a thing) have had the usual negative effects (6 weeks breakout free, then I had some McDonalds chips!)

Or sympathetically handing a ball of breath to some poor child that's trying to figure out what the happy meal toy actually does?. The image of the restaurant.. If you'd call it that definitely has changed over the years.

We were all hanging pretty badly and needed some serious food to waken us up and make us right. Thankfully we came across this place which provides tasty breakfast rolls for only £2.

They took virtually no time to serve us and we all left satisfied, well fed and markedly better than we had ten minutes before. The service is quick, pleasant and served about ten people while we were in, testament to how popular this place is.

I would not recommend this pizza spot…read more We were looking for some quick takeout nearby. They were fast and we were able to get it delivered. Not a bad option, but I was just disappointed in a few things so I don't think we'll return. First, lots of burning on the crust. I'm happy with some char, but burnt pizza makes me feel like I'm not getting what I pay for. The toppings were minimal and haphazardly added, but that's a small note. The sauce is decent, but for a thin crust, it was incredibly flimsy. A bit soggy. Good, crisp pizza should hold its shape when you lift it up! I think the oven is maybe too hot? Or they aren't rotating the pizzas? Because it's burning on the edge but not fully cooked on the bottom. I'm also confused on the mozzarella stick dipping sauce. Marinara is what you would expect, but this is a garlic aoli... so basically just mayo. Garlic was not strong. It wasn't horrid, but not great, and it's a weird combo. THOUGH, I will add the mozzarella sticks were beautifully crispy and the breading was nice and thin. I really liked the mozzarella sticks themselves. Overall, I would unfortunately not recommend this location.
