    Dreadful, offensively bad! Soggy naan, tough chicken, soggy pakora! Just total crap!…read more It was a quiet Friday night and i decided a curry would be nice. I went on just eat and near the top was this place. So ordered I did. Was told it was be 45 minutes....ok, 90 minutes later the god arrived. And well it was crap, waste of money!

    It was payday, and we had a broken oven, so a takeaway curry was inevitable when you think about…read moreit. And now I've finally found my favourite Edinburgh joint to order one from - hurrah! 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.

    Ok, it's weird I'm going to review a McDonalds. Usually I don't. Usually, I get my Maccie Ds in…read moretimes of dire, dire need (stress, break ups, looong nights out). 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!

    This place is definitely not for the "Faint Hearted" It's…read moredown right depressing. The staff are well.. Less than cheery which I've always found it to be rather odd.. As McDonalds is surely aimed at Kids?.. No? It's all business now... You can see it in the staffs faces as they slowly "zombie walk" around wether it be sweeping the overly salted cold chips from the floor. Or sympathetically handing a ball of breath to some poor child that's trying to figure out what the happy meal toy actually does?. The image of the restaurant.. If you'd call it that definitely has changed over the years.

    Kimmy's is a good wee greasy spoon takeaway, selling everything from breakfast rolls to quick fix…read morelunches. It's fairly small, but that's ideal if you're just passing through. You can't fail to spot the colourful special offer stars spotted all over the window, and its homely, cosy exterior gives you an idea of what you're going to get - friendly, efficient service and something to heat you up. It's no frills comfort food at its best and refreshingly free of shockingly pretentious prices. Uptown they place a £2 tax on a bacon roll based on the surroundings. It's nice to visit somewhere that offers seriously affordable and perfectly decent food. Perfect for some stodgy warmth on a cold, dull day.

    Kimmy's is a great local cafe which offers cheap, delicious food along with friendly service. I…read morecame here with some friends about a month ago after a flat party in the area. We were all hanging pretty badly and needed some serious food to waken us up and make us right. Thankfully we came across this place which provides tasty breakfast rolls for only £2. I went for the bacon and egg which wasn't actually on the menu, yet they still charged the same price for it. They took virtually no time to serve us and we all left satisfied, well fed and markedly better than we had ten minutes before. The service is quick, pleasant and served about ten people while we were in, testament to how popular this place is.

    I would not recommend this pizza spot…read more We were looking for some quick takeout nearby. They were fast and we were able to get it delivered. Not a bad option, but I was just disappointed in a few things so I don't think we'll return. First, lots of burning on the crust. I'm happy with some char, but burnt pizza makes me feel like I'm not getting what I pay for. The toppings were minimal and haphazardly added, but that's a small note. The sauce is decent, but for a thin crust, it was incredibly flimsy. A bit soggy. Good, crisp pizza should hold its shape when you lift it up! I think the oven is maybe too hot? Or they aren't rotating the pizzas? Because it's burning on the edge but not fully cooked on the bottom. I'm also confused on the mozzarella stick dipping sauce. Marinara is what you would expect, but this is a garlic aoli... so basically just mayo. Garlic was not strong. It wasn't horrid, but not great, and it's a weird combo. THOUGH, I will add the mozzarella sticks were beautifully crispy and the breading was nice and thin. I really liked the mozzarella sticks themselves. Overall, I would unfortunately not recommend this location.
