One item that's not listed on their menu, although it really ought to be, is the deep-fried Mars bar. According to MyFitnessPal, this tiny snack will tax your body a whopping 600 calories! Worth only £2.50 a piece, it probably deserves a medal for such a stellar calorie-to-price ratio.

The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere, delicious food, and prompt, friendly service. Battered haddock: Easily the best fish & chips I've ever eaten, beating out places I've tried in both London and Australia. The batter was super crispy and non-greasy, the fish was thick and meaty, and the chips were cut to perfection. Mushy peas: not quite steamed peas, but not quite pea soup either. I liked them, though they felt a bit heavy for May and seem better suited for winter. Haggis: If you're sensitive to gamey flavors, run away from it. It was rich and deeply gamey, coated in a light batter. It came with homemade beetroot ketchup, apparently a UK staple, which complemented it nicely. Pickled onions: The only letdown of the meal. You just get two small, un-sliced onions that barely tasted pickled. All in all, definitely worth a visit if in Edinburgh.

It was super busy and full, but we were seated at a table in the corner rather quickly, and since we already knew what we wanted (vegan fish and chips for me, a veggie burger for my son), we ordered, and the food came relatively quickly. My son liked his burger, but the fish and chips? A total disappointment. The "fish" was clearly a premade option from the store, and it was so dense and hard that I could barely finish it. The chips were fine but no flavor so I needed to add salt. The plus was the vegan tartar, which tasted quite good. And of course, I added vinegar. But I was bummed that the ketchup and mayo was in little Heinz packets instead of bottles. This is so unnecessarily wasteful and also kind of a pain to constantly be opening and squeezing them. Our service was friendly and quick, so that's great, but everything else was pretty meh, and to be honest, I don't think I'd come back here.

They will then ensure you are left out of pocket with the door slammed in your face. They confuse SALT with SAUCE, they give you the wrong orders, the food is very mediocre, greasy, just like the staff's customer service. I had to go to there to try and rectify THEIR mistake, and was badly abused by the so called manager, to such an extent that I have had to inform the police of this. Now I am £9 out of pocket, hungry, and angry that they can treat anyone like that. Avoid like the plague, unless you like being abused and becoming a victim of THEFT after they take your money and run!!!

I ordered one of their value meals one evening as a home delivery and whn it arrived, only half an hour later, the food was delicious! It was still hot and everything was as I wanted it. The menu for ordering for delivery is bright and easy to understand. I have visited the chip shop on occasions also. It is clean and large. Thee are seats for waiting, if you've ordered a pizza etc. All fresh food is kept covered and most of the chip shop food is cooked fresh. The staff are extremely friendly and chat with you. The prices are fantastic and the menu is full of variety, and if something isn't on the menu, they will still make it for you! I definately believe that Merdos is the best chip shop in Edinburgh and the best I have tasted so far! They also have meal deals for large orders and all children get a bottle of juice with their meal.

They sell all the usual chip shop favourites like fried fish, smoked sausage, haggis, fried pizzas and of course chips. There is also an extensive pizza menu, featuring exciting toppings like gorgonzola and parma ham (believe me, this is exotic for a Scottish chippy!), all of which are freshly made to order on deliciously thin and crispy bases. If you fancy something a little healthier there are baked potatoes, again with lots of fillings to choose from. The counter has a tasty selection of traybakes and I often pop in on my way home from work for a piece of the rocky road, it is gorgeous!

To be fair, it was really busy, but the queue to even place the order seemed to take an age. When I finally did order it then took another five minutes to get it out the shop! This was my only main criticism, however, as their menu is huge with plenty to choose from in the way of traditional suppers, pizzas with just about any topping and plenty of cooked sauces to accompany them. The fish supper cost £4 which was quite reaosnable, considering the fish was good quality, although the chips weren't the best. Rapido serves pretty decent food, just make sure you bring a good, long book with you for the queue.
