Known for kebabs, shawarmas, and burgers, Yum Yum also does deep fried mars bars, which I noticed when I first went up the steps of the Close with their outdoor sign. Being that Edinburgh is one of the few areas that have spots that make these, I was happy to see Yum Yum did it. I'm basing my review off of my order experience. It was made quickly. Payment was fast. And the mars bars was decent. If I was drunk, I would probably be foodgasming more. But I will say, it was very good and pleased I was able to experience while I was in town.

The staff are very efficient at serving and I would not say you would wait more than 5 mins for your order to be taken. The food is so fresh, prices are pretty good.

It is hard to park outside during the day but at night it is no wonder that the place is always packed. One never has to wait long in the queue as the staff have an excellent system which has each customer dealt with speedily. The prices are reasonable and there is always a good selection. Unlike most other chip shops one never has to wait on anything. I would recommend caution very late at night as there is a high level of delinquents hanging around, as they generally do around the Drum Brae area. Ps. take a look at their specials as there is always something interesting.

I stopped here shortly before leaving Edinburgh on the train. This was my last meal in Edinburgh…read moreand very delicious. There is usually a line outside this simple restaurant but possibly due to the light rain, the line was fairly short when I went. I only waited for like 5 minutes. The menu is simple as the roasted hog/pig is the only thing on the menu. You can choose a few things to customize the sandwich or even order it in a box. I ordered the Oink size (medium) on wheat bread and chose sage and onion for my topping and then the Homemade Mustard Mayo for the sauce. They make it in front of you and it is fresh and very tasty. Unfortunately when I went they were out of cracklings. They wrap it in foil and hand it to you. Pretty simple and efficient. I love that the outside of the building is painted pink like a pig (coincidence? Probably not). This is a good place to try for a quick, cheap and yummy sandwich. They do this one thing very well. Please open more of these!

The sammiches come on a big, soft, delicious roll. And they're filled with a generous portion of pulled pork. You get to customize them a little bit by selecting your bread, the size of the sammich, the stuffing (sage and onion or the homemade haggis), and a variety of spreads (apple, homemade mustard mayo, homemade chili cheese, and homemade chili jam). My wife got the sage & onion, and I opted for a haggis filling. We both very much enjoyed our rolls. They were very filling, and the staff was very friendly and helpful with suggestions. The haggis was unique, but we are very familiar with pulled pork sammiches back home. We really enjoyed our meal and would definitely recommend Oink to any hungry travelers in Edinburgh.

I whooped when I saw dosa on the menu - love me some spicy pancake. The chickpea filling offered two choices, sweet or spicy. I opted for spicy - it was so tasty, but the initial spice had so much kick it gave me a sneezing fit - oops! The husband got a paneer masala which came with a generous amour of cubed cheese goodness in a rich and delicious sauce. Our pilau rice was delivered in a bag rather than a contain, which we thought was weird but it didn't detract. We also ordered a veggie pakora and thought "oh, we'll go for the large as we're sharing". Unwrapping a huge bag filled with crisp pakora bites we realised our folly - we were still snacking on the leftovers 2 days later! All in all, a solid curry that delivered on flavour and portion size. A little slow in getting to us (over an hour as I recall) but as we ordered through Just Eat we were given an update on the delivery time, so at least we knew.

I'm fairly use to McDonalds being like a war zone. Dirty tables, people falling over, all that jazz. I was pleasantly surprised when I needed to kill some time in the Drumbrae(ish) area and went in to get a coffee. The place was clean. This seemed to be completely down to one woman who was meticulously and continuously combing the entire place and making sure everywhere was spotless. There also seems to be some magic going on and it was really easy to ignore the loud, screaming children. I think they've done something fancy with the layout of the place. For the (rare) pleasant McDonalds experience this place deserves five stars. Additionally, there isn't much in the area in the way of cafes and it definitely fills a gap. Alas, it's still a McDonalds and my spontaneous chips (chips and coffee is totally a thing) have had the usual negative effects (6 weeks breakout free, then I had some McDonalds chips!) If you're passing and starving definitely head on in!

There's not really that much to separate the generic fast food takeaway places that you never seem to go to when you're sober, but if my heels will allow it I always tend to gravitate towards this one. For starters, you get student discount on absolutely everything, as well as student-only promos like a huge pizza slice for only £1.50... absolute winner. The food is always cooked well (in other words, I've never got ill from one of their burgers/kebabs!) which is generally more than can be said for a lot of places like this. But what I think really swings it for me was the freezing january night when a friend and I were queuing out the door in the snow, to find that the staff were going along the queue handing out free chips to warm you up while you waited. You can't get any better than that. The only drawback? It's not open late enough!
