Yum Yum probably makes my favorite shawarma. But it's also the priciest of the late night kebab places I venture to and also kind of out of the way (for me at least) so I rarely ever go here. The staff are friendly and the ingredients taste fresh. Can't go wrong with Yum Yum, especially after a night of drinking. read more

SOLID Doner kebab with a lot of vegetables and yummy sauce. This place is hidden around a corner but was such a nice find. We got the chicken and lamb kebab as well as a classic Doner kebab. Both were nice but the mixed meat was better. The sauces were really good too and I wish they had feta, but.... I think it's what I'm used to. Really great and fast snack and so happy we stopped here. read more

I wanted a deep fried mars bar, and I bought myself a deep fried mars bar at this spot near to the top of Fleischmann's Close. 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. read more

I and my wife tried the chicken shawarma and chicken gyro. Oh my! The quantity was a lot! You can customize it with the sauces you want and they have quite a few sauce and veggie filling options. We loved the flavor of the chicken. It was cooked really well and very well seasoned. read more

Yum Yum - Chicken shawarma - Fast Food Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

Yum Yum is actually yummy, especially for late night food. I was craving some greasy pizza to fill me up after all the drinking and stumbled upon this spot. Although I was a bit intoxicated, the gentlemen taking our orders and helping us decide what to order were incredibly friendly and sweet. I appreciate them dealing with drunk people coming in here. Anyways, I ordered the Lamb Shawarma in a Wrap (£6.50) and also split a 9'' Spicy Chicken and Chilis Pizza (£6) with a friend. Let me tell you, the lamb wrap alone was already more than enough for one. To add, this shawarma wrap was so delicious as well! I loved the tender pieces of lamb mixed with the sauces, onions, red cabbage, tomatoes, and lettuce for a well balanced meal. The veggies added a nice crunch with the tender meat all wrapped perfectly together. Let's not forget to mention the pizza either, which was thick, cheesy, and topped with plenty of chicken and chilis. You can see the crispy cheese top from the oven grill, which was nicely done. Whether you're drunk or sober, you'll definitely find a yummy and hearty fast food meal here. read more

Very friendly service at this little hole in the wall. My tastebuds were ready for a traditional "gyro," but the bread was a bit stale which kinda ruined things. read more

Great food and service. We were a super grateful for their late night meal availability as it seems most every place in the area closes their kitchen by 9pm. Chicken shawarma and chips was very good read more

Quick, fast and not bad. We had the donner which turned out to be an overstuffed pita bread concoction, a bit messy and definitely not easy to eat unless you have multiple untensils :) read more

Got into edinburgh late. This was the only place I could find still open. Great pizza!

Big wraps. Falafel and shawarma were good, could have used a few less onions. Portion was huge.

Yum Yum!! This place holds a special spot in my oft drunken heart. After a long night out (as most nights are in Scotland...if you're doing things right that is), I would routinely found myself in need of a falafel/Donner (as one does), but had no idea where to start my quest for greasy nirvana. Now if you don't know, not all chip shops are created equally; they all lure you in with the heavenly aroma only triple fried meat and potato can make, but few live up to the hype. You could try one of the small ones on Rose Street, or stand in line with tourists on the Mile, but you'll end up with basically the same level of food; it will absolutely get the job done (trust me!) but won't leave you super happy. If you're looking for something that is better than average, Yum Yum is the answer. I personally like the one on George 4th Bridge, but the other one (which I've only been to in a fog, couldn't tell you the address) was also quite good. The guys running the place got to know us over the week we were there (good thing?...not sure lol), and were very friendly every time we showed up. Walking in, you won't find a lot of space to sit, which was A-OK with us, as we were on our way home every time we stopped by*. The place next door (painted red, can't remember the name), is huge and also smells heavenly...but the guys are rude, the food is meh, and the extra seating allows youths to sit/loiter for extended periods of time (thanks, but no thanks). Speaking of food, Yum Yum is spot on. I recommend the Donner and chips, but the pizza is good, as are the pies and fish. Seriously, you can't get hurt at Yum Yum** If you find yourself out past last call in this amazing city, and need some Donner to soak up some of the party you just drank down, look to Yum Yum for the hook up. _______________________________________________ *Just a side note; chip shops like this should only be visited in the wee hours of the morning, if this is your main stop for lunch you're doing Edinburgh wrong. **This is a lie, if you eat here too often you will most definitely die of a heart attack...but hey we only live once right? read more

Yum Yum - Come here for chips - Fast Food Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

I happened upon this place during the Fringe. I was hungry after my show, I needed falafel inside my face, and I was in the area. It was late in the evening, so Yum Yum seemed like as good an option as any place. The prices are decent, and the ingredients looked fresh, so Let's Go! As a vegetarian, I was not tempted by... any of the other options than Falafel, but that's okay. I don't think I would have been when I was a meat-eater either. See, I have a problem with any fast food place that can sell such immense heaps of meat for a few quid. I think of the animals that meat came from and while I don't care what BIT of the animal is used, etc, I doubt very much that this is free range organic to put it that way. But that's to be expected from these sorts of places and it's not something I'm marking Yum Yum on. The falafel was tasty. Not the tastiest I've had, but tasty. The sauces were nice, and the wrap was absolutely full of veggies. I love eating something like that and feel like I'm actually putting a good mix of nutrients into my body. It's a quick, reasonably healthy fix of energy and it's tasty! Can you really ask for more? Okay, you want more? Well, how about sitting inside and enjoying yourself while tourists haul their suitcases up the stairs in the rain, moaning and complaining? All the while not realising that they could have just gone up Cockburn street instead. I don't think I'll ever tire of it myself! read more

AUTHENTIC TURKISH! Owner was attentive to our needs - asked us our specific spice level preference. Chicken shawarma flavorful and authentic. Sauces perfectly complimented the food! A HIDDEN GEM. Must see. read more

This place has moved to George IV Bridge, unless it's a second outlet as well as the Cockburn Street one. But what you need to know about Yum Yum is that they do the best falafel wrap in Edinburgh. I realise that that's a bit like saying that someone is the best blues guitarist in Kazakhstan, but to those of us who love a good falafel wrap, Yum Yum is the place to go, because of the level of service you'll get. Most people seem to go there late at night in search of lamb-filled pitas to soak up booze, but I went there on a weekday lunchtime, starving after getting up early with a baby, and I asked for a falafel wrap. What followed amounted almost to an interrogation into my personal preferences for garnish, but I ended up with the single most delicious (and generously-packed) falafel pitta (I think he misheard me about the whole 'wrap' thing) that I have ever held in my hands. The falafel were crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle, the pickled cabbage was sharp, spicy and crunchy, the hummus was earthy and garlicky, the other salads were various, the sauces were perfectly judged and the whole thing was a justification, if you needed one, for never eating meat again. I am not a vegetarian, but on contemplating food as good as this, I'm tempted. read more

A good solid 4 stars for carryout falafel wraps after a long day of sightseeing. Just like the name says, yum.

I ate here on a trip back in 2011. It may have switched names, owners, who knows. But it looks about the same. The shawarma I had there holds a distinct memory of being one of the tastiest, if not tastiest food I've ever eaten. I've had plenty of varieties of shawarma... this, and by a good degree, holds itself as the best I'll probably ever taste. It was so, so, so delicious. I almost weep thinking about it. read more

As soon as you walk into Yum Yums, it becomes apparent that these guys are running one of the only fresh but fast food joints around. Sure, pizzas, kebabs, burgers probably don't typically fit under the 'healthy' category, but at least Yum Yum makes them from fresh ingredients - you just need to take a look at the cold display cabinet to know that this lettuce hasn't been sitting there since last bank holiday. Everything looks clean and the staff are friendly and helpful. And because it's cooked fresh, you get to make it how you like it, with as many or as little condiments, sauces, fillings that you like. Plus, the prices for what you're getting are well below your local chippie - basically, you really get the feeling they wouldn't try and pass off a deep fried rat as a mars bar melt....nice of them. read more

this place is amazing! Was on a quick 3 day trip in the city and my boyfriend and I went back every single night for late night food. I highly recommend the falafel wrap! read more
