My family loved Baba's food so much that we ate here twice during our Edinburgh trip. Everything we…read morehad was delicious, so I feel like you can't go wrong here. The pita bread and hummus was something we ordered both times. The lamb shoulder is a must-order. And of course, the whole fish was a treat. Easily a five-star restaurant, and kid- friendly to boot. (There's even a separate kids menu!)

Food is Mediterranean and offers a variety of mezze, snacks, and options from the grill. Prices are very reasonable and quality of food is amazing. That's why every night this place seems to be packed, even on weeknights. They also have a separate bar that adjoins the restaurant. I tried the mumaharra and smoked salmon roe dips which come with accompanying pita. I also tried the lamb sausages and a slow cooked lamb, both were delicious. The dessert was just ok and I think I will skip dessert next time.

They basically only have pizza and wraps (no menu like the one in the pic) I was expecting a hole in the wall with yummy food. It was indeed a hole in the wall, but the food thoroughly disappointing. I ordered the kofta kebab wrap and hummus wrap both with no tomatoes. One came with tomatoes. Though the wrap was 10" x 3" the kofta hiding inside it was about 7"x1"-the veggie to meat ratio was ridiculous. I guess that's what makes it a small? I did enjoy the sauce-creamy with a little spice. My friend did make the point of why she thought it was highly rated. Nearby a university, open late, cheap, and quick...even considering all of that it's still a no for me.

So the craving at the time was schwarma, and Palmyra had some pretty decent reviews. So off I moseyed in the hopes of getting a delicious meal. Not even 12pm yet, I was the only customer in the shop, nabbing a window seat so I could people watch during my lunch. My server was so friendly and the service overall was great. I ordered a chicken schwarma with chips. I was kind of hoping for traditional Turkish bread, but my meal came on the thinner pita-style bread that didn't exactly hit the spot, but was delicious all the same. The schwarma was large for £5.50 and my fries could have easily served two, the serving was massive. Also served with garlic sauce and a sweet type of chilli sauce. Overall a flavourful and filling meal that I would certainly have again. For about £8 this meal could have served two and easily satisfied two grumbling bellies.

I ordered the qozy lamb - two pieces of lamb falling off the bone, heaps of rice, naan bread and an aubergine, tomato and potato side that was beyond yummy. A huge amount of food that I just about managed to polish off. Dessert was baklawa - couldn't fault it and it came with a scoop of ice cream. Delicious. I'd have given this place five stars if it weren't for our seating location right next to the waiters' station. We had to endure an evening's worth of cutlery clanging and banging right next to our ears and waitresses bumping into our seats as they whizzed between tables and the station. If it weren't for that, I'd have given this place a five star. Will definitely be back, just not sitting next to the waiters' station!

I can't believe this place doesn't have a constant que to get in I placed my order for a mixed grill. I'm always a sucker for mixed sat down with images of kebabs and shawarma dancing in my head. I was settled in and ready to wait. The owner asked if I had been before and how I found the place. We chatted for a bit then he went to the kitchen and popped out with what he called a snack. To me it looked the size of a starter. Hummus, baba ghanouj, and something called a rabbi salad I think. They were all very good the entire time I was there everyone was very friendly and chatty much different that I usually get when I order take away On to the mixed grill I almost forgot I was waiting for food. The portion was insane easily enough for 2-3 people. There was lamb and chicken in various forms some ribs and kebabs and wings. All amazing the rice and bread were cooked perfect. Sadly I have to admit due to the large portion I didn't try the salad I had to prioritise what I shoved in my face. Perhaps I'll give that a go later after a burn off some calories I didn't look at much else on the menu but I did hear someone order a falafel wrap and it was only 3 pounds

We popped in one lunch time and ordered a Chicken Shwarma Wrap and a Lamb Kofta Wrap, they are the best wraps we have ever tried.

It seems like this part of town is really seeing a boom in Middle Eastern and Persian foods, which I am a big fan of. I was only in Byblos for a few minutes as I picked up a delicious, traditional Lebanese style Chicken Chawarma wrap to go.The wrap was pretty darn good it has to be said, light with wonderfully spiced chicken, salad, potatoes, pickles and garlic sauce. As I waited I had a wee nosey at the food in the fridge and everything seemed delicious and fresh. The place itself looks really good, a big improvement on the former Deli Aziz, which seemed a bit busy and cluttered. Really looking forward to sitting in next time and getting a couple of things from the traditional looking menu.

What came was great, exactly what I wanted: a tomato soup and a tomato / bell pepper / cucumber salad. It was awesome. And of course the meat and some tahini sauce; we were given some thin pita bread as well. The lamb had good flavor although the flavor could've been stronger, and the soup was a tad oily.
