"We booked this restaurant through open table and was disappointed overall. The menu was not the same menu as shown through open table, it was extremely limited. However our party settled on the panko coated aubergine salad, the Cajun burger and the banyan currizza. The salad was enjoyable, the burgers Cajun coating was soggy and the currizza, which came with one of the curries of the day on top of a naan bread and melted mozzarella was cold. We notified one of two members of staff at front of house and this was dealt with straight away and very professionally. The rest of the party had finished eating by the time my dish was returned but it was kindly removed from the bill at the end. For this I would probably return, although it's more of a brunch time place, don't be swayed by the online menu."

"Tuesday afternoons can be misleading when trying to gauge the evening atmosphere, and it was quite quiet during our visit. The staff were excellent—attentive without being overly energetic. I wasn't quite sure what to expect from the food, but we were pleasantly surprised. We tried various dishes from the menu, and everything was great. It was clear that the food was freshly prepared, not microwaved. My burger seemed to be made from a homemade patty, and the fish and chips were a generous portion. The prices are fantastic too—£15 for two courses and £20 for three."

"What a fantastic Sunday roast. I went with my family as we all love a roast but this was so much more. Firstly, we were greeted with a wonderful welcome from the staff. We then ordered our choice of roast which was beef or chicken and since I couldn't make up my mind what to have we were offered to have both, which we did and it was cooked beautifully, in addition the vegetables were many which consisted of: cabbage, swede, spinach, carrots, cauliflower, roasted parsnips and roast potatoes with the best gravy and as a lovely surprise, crispy roasted parsnip shavings on top of a plump Yorkshire pudding absolutely divine, best roast we have had in years and would highly recommend."

"I had a wonderful experience dining here for the first time. The menu was outstanding. We started with mussels, frito misto, calamari, and beetroot hummus, which were all fantastic. The main courses were equally delicious: we enjoyed the "burger of burgers," whole plaice, barberry duck, and minted pea risotto. We paired our meal with plenty of wine and topped it off with a raspberry crème brûlée and tawny port. The total came to about £30 per person. The portion sizes were generous, and the service was friendly and attentive. I'm definitely planning to return and bring some friends along!"

"Had Sunday roast for 5 to celebrate birthday. Table was waiting and laid up. The waitress was aware of our arrival and was quick to take drink and food order. Food appeared for all within 5 mins of ordering. The meal was enjoyed by all. Thank you."

"Food quite good though spicier than expected. Service was terrible. The servers were very pleasant when you could get them but they sat behind the counter or disappeared when they were needed. They would have got a tip if they had been more attentive."

"This is a fantastic place for tapas and wine, with a wonderful atmosphere. The tapas prepared by the Spanish chef Marco are exceptional, and he truly enjoys entertaining guests with his strong Spanish accent while sharing his culinary creativity and passion for food. The wine selection is intriguing and offered at great prices, featuring options from small producers in France, Spain, and Italy. Additionally, it serves as a wine shop where you can taste the wines before making a purchase. Overall, it's a great restaurant and an excellent experience!"

"Our favourite variety of roast dinner is a classic, the chicken; lamb would be far lower on our list, it’s a tough meat to get right and often leads to disappointment. The Queens Arms was serving up lamb on our visit, gosh, this would certainly put our taste buds to the test… We were sat in a booth with a door. It was a lock-in at our table, our first ever taste of captive consumption – we loved it! The booth separated us off from the outside world, creating an intimate and cosy dining experience. Enter the roast, with four huge Yorkshire puddings and two mounds of roasties. A medley of root veg and cabbage arrived and we were all set. I know what your thinking, where’s the gravy EdinBlogger, show me the gravy! Well, confession time, I forgot to document it, excitement was at an all time high after our 6 day wait – we wanted to get stuck in as quickly as possible. We love the idea of sharing a roast like this, it’s like eating at home and encourages a conversation around the food (plus it’s a lot easier for me to sneak an extra helping from a sharing board than from EdinBloggette’s plate when the opportune moment arises). So did the lamb pass the taste test? Yes, yes it did! It was juicy, still a little pink and didn’t require 100 chews like some of the disappointing roasts in the past. The roasties had a lovely crunch which gave way to an incredibly fluffy interior, and th"

"eating was very good, but service slow. my man had the lamb aprons that arrived as 3 instead of 4 when the 4th finally came, he said they were very tasty, but the dish was still small for an adult and for the price! I would say that eating is good, tasty and fresh, but it is over price for what they receive and the equipment of the restaurant is quite dated. After I said all that, I would recommend and probably come back, maybe a statement of this review was accepted."

"First time eating here and the food was great. A good selection of tasty dishes that you wouldn't normally find on an Indian restaurant menu (although the usuals are there too), freshly cooked and good sized portions. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the food, recommending suitable dishes. My only criticism of the place is that it was quite noisy in there, so hearing the other end of the table was nigh on impossible but overall the atmosphere was good. I'll definitely be going back to try more dishes."

"I used to enjoy this restaurant as a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city and considered myself a regular customer, but unfortunately that is no longer the case. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a woman who was extremely rude and condescending simply because I was a mother with a stroller. It seemed that she was at a managerial level. She was very aggressive in her tone and complained about previous incidents with mother and baby groups and their strollers taking up too much space. This all happened before she even checked our reservation. It turned out that my friend had mistakenly booked for the following day, but she made me feel like I had come on the wrong day and tried to manipulate the situation. When I politely mentioned that I felt her tone was rude, especially since I didn't make the booking, she became even more patronizing and dismissive. It was a shame because the restaurant was almost empty with plenty of space available. I met up with my mom friends outside and we decided to go somewhere else where we were greeted with kindness and given our own space. It's unfortunate that this encounter was so unnecessary, but I wanted to warn other mothers that this woman was not supportive of mothers, so think twice before making a reservation. A mother with a stroller is already dealing with a lot, and even if there is limited space, kindness should still be shown."

"This is my happy place. It's easily my favourite lunch place in Edinburgh. Great if you're on a budget and great for bringing a friend or two as they cater for vegans vegetarians as well as meat-eaters. My go-to is the chicken masala wrap but I'm told the rest of their food is amazing as well. 10to10 is an integral part of my Fringe experience year on year"

"We booked Tangia last minute for a Saturday night meal for a group of friends. We were warmly welcomed and greeted by the Chef/Owner who talked us through the menu and made us feel very welcome. Service was prompt and the food and drink choices were good, the lamb shank was excellent and every dish was very pleasant. We would very happily return."

"The curry here is exceptional, but if you’re looking for a relaxing dining experience, this isn't the place. It was quite loud and chaotic during our visit. The server could have been more patient and attentive, which was disappointing. It’s a shame, because the food is truly fantastic!"

"In Exeter for the weekend and found this great place for a fabulous meal with a good atmosphere and service. Can recommend KuzuShish, the lamb was in large chunks but is so tender and lamb Iskender was brilliant, both dishes were spiced perfectly and we enjoyed it immensely. Also it was good to see local real ale being served! Only wish we lived nearer!"

"I recently visited The Joiner with a large group of colleagues to throw a farewell party for one of our team members. The service, food, drinks, and atmosphere were all excellent. We had a beer pong table set up, which led to some memorable and fun moments. However, I deducted one star because there was only one type of draft beer available and just a barrel of that beer. By the end of the night, we were left with only a few bottles, which was a bit disappointing for our beer pong games. Nonetheless, we will definitely be back, and I would recommend this pub. The prices are reasonable, and they show plenty of sports on their TVs while also playing great music!"

"This is the 2nd time I have visited The Duke and the experience this time was not as good. Unfortunately, the waiting staff seemed very disorganised and were not very attentive when taking the order. The cutlery, serviettes were not brought out all at once but they kept coming backwards and forwards. One of the party had the gnocchi and when the waiter asked if we wanted anything else, ie, sauces, etc, they requested some parmesan cheese. The waiter returned to say that we could have parmesan but there would be an extra charge of £1 ! I have never in all the times I have visited restaurants have been asked to pay extra for parmesan cheese. We then asked to speak to the manager, who came over and said she would have to speak to the chef as she was a temporary manager. I am not sure what that had to do with making a decision on whether or not we had to pay for the parmesan. I pointed out that a member of the party was having the fish chips but had requested at the time of ordering that they did not want the mushy peas or tartare sauce. We would certainly not have expected to receive a reduction in the price ! The temporary manager then said she did not want to argue about it so would bring a portion of parmesan for no extra cost. I was a bit annoyed as there should have not been any argument at all as surely a small grating of parmesan should be free anyway, or the price incorporated in the cost of the meal !"

"Great little pub in the centre of Watford which isn't just part of another chain franchise, so a rarity! They've recently don't up the beer garden which now has to be the best in town, good selection of beers and ciders, reasonable prices, nice staff, just a really great pub!"
