"So much went wrong but it was quite funny. Both staff members were new for a start but nice with it even apologised for their incompetence. While ordering my food, they realised their card machine wasn't working so I had to pack up my belongings to go to the ATM. Second try at ordering my food and they couldn't answer any of my questions except for one. I reminded them there was a discount theatre goers and received blank looks. I pointed out it was written on the blackboard outside so one of them went to check. Meantime the other tried to work out the till without a great deal of success but they got there eventually. Unfortunately when my food arrived, it was slightly wrong but easily corrected. It tasted OK and was acceptable but not sure about the quality of the ingredients."

Great atmosphere and full of life. Curry was lovely. Toilets downstairs. Staff superb . Easy to get to near the grass market which is so full of people and fun

The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was pleasant. I enjoyed a Laphroaig whisky and a glass of rosé wine. It was a fantastic place to relax and have a conversation.

This restaurant serves some of the best butter chicken I've ever had. Their vegetarian options are also exceptional, especially the okra. Everyone in my group also loved the papadums. View menu

The atmosphere at this restaurant is fantastic. The owner went as far as to open up the kitchen to make pizza for hungry customers. This was our second visit because the staff and management are so friendly and accommodating.

Nice enough wee bar but the food leaves a lot to be desired. The steak Sandwich with mustard, onions and chips for 12 quid was shocking. Undercooked dry steak strips with a dollop of mustard sitting on an deep fried onion ring (all store bought, likey Aldi) wrapped in two pieces of half toasted tiger bread (Aldi again) and garnished with what looked like paprika powder. Have a drink but eat elsewhere.

The worst place for customer service . Went to the place for pre theatre food. The waiter cleaning table next us knocked the lit table candle on the floor next us splashing me and my wife clothe with hot wax. No aplology no regret. When we wanted to complain the manger said “she was too busy with customers to deal with complaints”. What a terrible place. Give it a miss and have your food somewhere more customer friendly View menu

When staying in a guest house locally I passed this place a few nights on way home. Then decided to pop in and check it out...so delighted. The staff here are just gorgeous. Hally particular made us feel so welcome, suggesting things to see while visiting this beautiful city. She was warm, friendly, fun, and in my eyes gave the pub its atmosphere. Once we found the place, we were back again the following night! Nice little pub, with a good function room downstairs too.

Had booked tickets for the theatre nearby and whilst wandering up and down the street looking for somewhere to get a quick bite to eat before our show started we stumbled across this bar. The girl behind the bar seemed to be working on her own but greeted everyone who came in and served everyone fairly quickly. We managed to get a seat in the corner but it filled up pretty quickly after we arrived but the bar maid dealt with it superbly. We ordered 2 meals and 2 sides, they came in less than 10 minutes and they were superb! Can highly recommend the nachos and fajitas!! We come to Edinburgh quite frequently and will definitely be back here.
