We got the combo deal which had a half grilled chicken and peri peri chips and a drink for £9.99. The chicken here is far superior to Nando's and it's better value for money.

I forget what everything was called but I particularly liked the hummus, the mixed grill, and the big lamb shank. I got the Iraqi style falafel wrap with halloumi and it was a great vegetarian option (also it's huge--feels like it's meant for 2 people). Aside from flavor, the service was great, everyone was nice. Ambiance was chill. The portion sizes are pretty large. Probably good for families.

We were staying around the corner at the AC Marriott and decided to try this restaurant since it…read morehad good ratings. I ordered the Lamb Shish which was good, not great. Visiting Scotland and Ireland for a few weeks, I had several good lamb dishes. This one wasn't as tender or flavorful as others I had had. Still good, but again, not the best I've had. I also tried a pot of the Arabic tea (using leaves). That was a new experience for me as a green and English Breakfast tea drinker. Was a bit too bitter for me. My wife had the Halloumi Tawook Special, which she liked a lot. My daughter had the Chicken Shawarma, which she liked, as well. Naan bread was really good. Servers were very friendly and attentive and our orders arrived quickly. Pricing was very reasonable.

Well this has to be the best curry cafe I've yet found in Edinburgh / Scotland…read more As with all such establishments, the decor is functional - you come here for the authenticity of the food. It's always a good sign when a curry cafe has Nihari on the menu, as not everywhere offers this slow cooked dish. I try to be a traditionalist wherever possible though so, having arrived late afternoon, I wasn't going to have what is considered to be a Breakfast / Morning curry. I'll head over next time for the 11:30 opening to try the Nihari - gives me another excuse :-) Today I went for a dish that has become a staple in Pakistani food culture, Haleem. Adapted hundreds of years ago from the original Harisah recipes which were first documented in the Middle East sometime between the year 900 and 1000, Haleem is now prepared and enjoyed in Pakistani family homes and restaurants all over the world. At just a fiver (currently) for Haleem and a hot, buttered Naan, this medium spiced dish is not only very tasty, but is also superb value. Today I had Beef Haleem. It was delicious. The dish is prepared with Beef, Wheat, Barley and Lentils (plus spices) and it is slow cooked to such an extent that the beef completely blends into the other ingredients so the dish becomes a thick sauce "curry". Tearing off a corner of Naan and dipping it in, it tasted fantastic. The Marhaba Kitchen is a proper curry cafe and the owner / chef could not have made me any more welcome. Next visit - Nihari time! :-)

As (bizarrely) they still didn't do carry-outs despite being opened for a while, I invited some friends down to sample the curries on offer. What a let down. The pakora arrived with a hefty waft of stale deep fry oil. Poppadoms were soft. Butter Chicken - the sauce had a texture like something you would spread on a sandwich. Lucknowi Murgh was bland. Chilli Garlic Chicken was horrific, no subtly - just bits of meat floating in a fiery liquid. Poor, poor, poor. This is not Indian/Punjabi cooking as it should be. To contrast, I'd been in the Edinburgh branch of Mother India Cafe the week before. There, as the very first mouthful of Chicken Karahi explodes on your tongue, you're reminded why Indian food is so fantastic. Rich, complex flavours - they know how to do it. The Masala Twist unfortunately, is just a sub-standard curry shop. Pity.

What…read moreI was presented with was a chapatti (not naan bread) with to of the sorriest most pitifully skinny excuses of seekh kebabs I have ever been presented with. The guy gave me 2 chunks of the chicken tikka (cut in half ) and not the full skewer like I had specifically asked for. To add insult to injury I was charged £6.50 for this. I left the place feeling ripped off with what was a very average but overpriced meal. I regretted the experience. The fact that it wasn't busy at 3pm on a Friday afternoon (the owner was leaning over the counter reading a newspaper) should've been a warning not to go there. His own loss tough, as I most definitely won't be back and I will be telling others not to visit this place either when they are in Pollockshields. I would recommend the Chicken Hut. Although you can't sit in there, the food quality is so much better and the prices are much more reasonable.

Over a decade ago Daniel Boulud's restaurant put the DB burger on his menu. It cost $32 and people gasped - "It's a brazen liberty to take with a burger!" But people bought it and bought in, eventually reaching its meaty conclusion with the gourmet-burger restaurant. Not that this sit-in grease spoon burger, kebab and pizza joint care. They're quite happy serving frozen burgers, chips and a can for a few quid* to students and fast food junkies like me. This "burger revolution" has passed them by, but no bad thing! There's a time and place for queuing around the block to savour that handmade steak patty that the chef's so evangelical about, but for other quick on the foot times this will do nicely - but only just. *£3.20 at time of writing.

Conveniently located across the street from Bamboo nightclub, I frequently end up in here after a…read morenight out. It can only be described as a war-zone at 3am, as hordes of drunks spill through the door in search of something that will sponge up the cheap Jäger bombs and vodka in their stomachs. Expect to see everything from crying girls, bodies passed out on tables, people snapchatting their drunk pal and the occasional Yaya/Kolo Toure chant. Kings do everything from pizzas to kebabs and the type of food which you would only order when you're ruined. Of course it tastes like the best thing in the world at the time, but Kings' cuisine has a nasty habit of reversing up your oesophagus either in the street outside, in the taxi home, or the morning after. Whether this is due to the quality of the food or the excessive amount of alcohol that preceded it, or both, I cannot say for definite. Kings is also home to the legendary "Munchie Box". The Munchie Box offers a selection of Kings delicacies including chips, donnar, pakora, and other undistinguishable items of food, all for a modest £8, you won't need to (or won't be able to) eat for days. In summary, this isn't exactly the type of place you would take your gran for lunch. But when it comes to dirty food at the end of a night out, Kings will sort you out.
