I have never actually been there in person so can give no details on what the restaurant is actually like inside, but the food tastes great, and that's the most important thing. Me and a vegetarian friend found that there were plenty of options on their menu to be tempted by and I eventually opted for chicken chow mein and found that the dish was great and had lots of flavour to it. What's more is that it came with lots of vegetables, which made me feel justified in eating it all. The delivery time was quite long, taking about 40 minutes but the price was reasonable and would definitely order again from here.

Mr So Chinese Takeaway is in my opinion the best in Edinburgh. I am a very fussy eater and hard to…read moreplease when it comes to food. The food is lovely, with an excellent variety on the menu there is something for everyone. Obviously they take orders by phone but you can also go into the shop and order and wait. Ordering in the shop dosn't mean you will wait any longer. The shop is fresh and clean looking inside (which i think is very important). The staff are very polite and when i take my children in with me they give them a lolly pop while we wait free of charge and chat away to them. They also give out calenders free at New Year. I highly recommend them to all. MMMMM Yummy

If you're wandering around Easter Road and are in need of a quick bite to eat, then the Filling…read morePlace is as good as any other. The Filling place certainly can ruffle up a good sandwich, especially a ham and cheese salad baguette! And what made it even better was that the cheese was extra special, as it is sourced from the famous cheesemongers of Edinburgh, Iain Mellis. This little cafe however, doesn't just do sandwiches. They do baked potatoes, soups, Paninis and salads. All the produce looked fresh and the shop smelt full of fantastic flavours. I also believe you can purchase cheeses and hams from the cafe's deli counter. And the prices aren't too bad either, actually on the cheaper side of the coin. When I was in the cafe it wasn't that busy, and that in a way was quite nice, munching a small lunch time snack while people watching from the window seats. That will do me nicely.

The Filling Place is a decidedly non-glamourous sandwich shop, though I must confess I've not tried…read moreone of their pieces. Instead I come for the Bain's of Stenhouse pies. Some say these are the best pies in Edinburgh, and I'd have to agree. They're a step above your average Scotch pie, and filled with delicious meat and gravy. The bridies are pretty damn good too. Mmmm! It costs more to have it hot and sit in (damn that pasty tax!), but I live so close that I just take it home and heat it up in my oven instead. Before devouring them in seconds and dribbling gravy all down my chin. I have had a hot roll from here before, it was alright. It's just a shame that it's not open on a Sunday, the day of the week when I most crave a roll and sausage. NOTHING is open on a Sunday on Easter Road that meets my roll requirements, sad face. Why won't someone think of my stomach?!

Recent trip back to my home-town had us ending up in this cool place. (Last time I was in Leith,…read morethis place was called "Slammers" and - needless to say, its reputation reflected its tasteful name. I did not go there - ever!) SO I was pleasantly surprised to find Slammers transformed into this great Scottish Bar & Grill. Great service and outstanding food. I had the pork - cooked to perfection with tasty flavorful sides including wild mushroom mash! yum!. Bf had the herb & steak pie - delish (says him) with chips. Wine by the glass was excellent - as was the espresso AND the price. HIGHLY recommended - next time you are in Edinburgh/Leith.

I needed a chip shop visit to add to my tally of tasks accomplished while in Edinburgh, so I placed…read morean online order with Ephesus -- convenient for me since I had taken up residence in a nearby hotel. The ordering process was simple, and I received a text notification that my food was ready a bit earlier than expected. My chips and curry sauce were amazing. I was especially impressed at the amount of chips I received for the price. The doner kebab was a bit of a let down though. I spent a few years in Germany in the 1990s and became hooked on a proper doner there. Ephesus just couldn't match the quality of those doners. The lack of a proper dressing and the dryness of the meat were big contributors to my assessment. I was also disappointed that no disposable flatware was included with my takeaway order.

This is a specialty cafe. They serve pulled pork sandwiches…read moreYou get to choose the size and sauce and that's about all. That said, the pork was excellent. I prefer my pulled pork the North American way which includes coleslaw, but when in Edinburgh do as the people of Edinburgh do. Also note the special deal of you include a beer. This is a fine place for a lunch. Service is friendly and helpful. The ambiance is what you should expect for a pork lunch sandwich place. There are five tables including one for four or more people.

Never thought that I would appreciate roasted hog this much this far north but I would go out on a limb to give it high recognition. The meat is seasoned well, the skin crispy, and if you're a late riser, you can have it for breakfast with delicious hagus and coffee. It goes without saying, public transportation is easiest way to get here besides walking. Post script: You can order extra skin pieces (0.55 £ per piece) with your sandwich so you don't need a whole box if you're on a figure watch.

I will never get enough they have so many toppings and I will always stop to get a potato with my daughter after school. The staff are so nice and it's a lovely family business. I am not going to lie because this is an honest review, it's not the nicest shop ITS CLEAN don't get me wrong and the vibes are great but it just looks old that's all. You should still go here everything is amazing apart from how the shop looks. They have good prices so many drink options the food is delicious and the most important thing they Handled my allergy (coeliac) so well I always feel safe. If you don't go here you missing out.

After wandering the streets with my cocktail partner and turning up empty handed, I pulled out my iPhone, fired up the Yelp app and discovered... Mr Hot Potato was ten minutes away! I'll be honest, each footstep to the take-away felt like a mile but when we finally arrived, we were greeted with a friendly smile and two baked potatoes that looked as big as the moon. From what I remember, they tasted pretty damn good too.
