The man behind the counter... legend. The food... sublime. Is it because we are a tad gassed potentially. Would we come here sobre, probably not but does that mean it is a lesser establishment? No!

10/10

Best kebab shop in Edinburgh! I think the bad reviews are only by the tourists from London. This is the best you can get in Edi

Not great at all.
Kebab is very expensive for a small portion. They do a small or large at £9 or £10. But the large is really just a standard size and the small is tiny. There is also about 10 chips on both, definitely not a portion size but the trick is they say ‘free chips with kebab’ even though a kebab should come with chips.
No drink included either.
The interior is dirty and grotty, with the kitchen area looking dismal. There were no kebabs on the grill, so I asked what they had the guy then said they had doner kebabs but kept them in the oven not on the roasting spit. That was odd and made me think they weren’t fresh or they had precut the meat and it was sitting warm.
The doner kebab meat itself was okay but have had better. The bread was ok and salad ok. But overall disappointing and too expensive for what it is. The inside is also cold as door is left wide open, I asked to close it and they said no as they get too hot cooking but from what i could see there was little cooking going on.
Turkish establishments are often far cleaner, friendlier and much better food.
Could not really recommend unfortunately.
Also is cash only FYI.

Most expensive kebab I have ever got, absolutely the worst one: everything was fresh enough but the meat was very strange, rubbery and not roasted.

Some friends had falafel for lunch and enjoyed it so much we went back later in the evening. Truly the best falafel wrap any of us have enjoyed anywhere.

Very bad experience. Owner was rude the food was really bad and smelly. Ordered mix Shish kebab and it was supposed to be grilled but he fried on the pan. The taste was horrible. Regret going there, avoid at any cost it’s not Turkish food

The best takeaway in Edinburgh! Been going here for 21 years. The owner is lovely, so friendly, and the food is always amazing. Every night out ends up here - I will literally leave a club early to ensure I get here before close!
