Many Edinburgh students are familiar with the two Palmyra kebab houses in the area, and Istanbul Kebabs seem to cater to the exact same crowd. Burgers, pizzas, and most importantly kebabs, are the main dishes on offer, as well as the sacred falafel wrap! What does confuse me is that half the menu has the name Palmyra right next to it.

Could Palmyra be so cutting edge in the market, other take outs want their food? I will be investigating this.
However, as far as taste is concerned, there's little to complain about, and whilst the place is far from glamorous, I was pleased with my doner kebab!
