Due to the preponderance of takeaways in Edinburgh, some chip-shops have started to distinguish themselves from the herd in particular ways. Some are chippers-with-discos, some are chippers-with-wine bars, but none have distinguished themselves so much as Rick Shaw's, being a chipper-with-everything. For those nights where you want Chinese, your partner wants pizza, your friend wants a curry and his girlfriend wants Thai, what you all want is the multicultural gastronomic extravaganza that is Rick Shaw's. No more stacks of take-away menus piling up in a drawer - with Rick Shaw's, you can all have whatever you want with just one menu. Combining the best of the world's cuisine, this pick-up or take-away joint serves up restaurant-quality food delivered as quickly as it's cooked (although as it's cooked from scratch, it might take slightly longer than other delivery places - the delivery time can anything from twenty minutes to an hour and a half). It's a little more expensive than its single-nation counterparts (a large pizza delivered is about £10, individual curries are around £7/£8 and a Pad Thai is about £6), but the difference in the food makes it more than worth it. read more
