“ If anyone looking for authentic halal Scottish food, this is the place. I’ve ordered traditional Haggis and they were really amazing. Also the best part is the view, directly overlooking Edinburgh castle. On top of that, the food is really affordable and budget friendly too. The service was great too, with staff members accommodating to our needs. Overall, must recommend place if you’re near Edinburgh castle area. ”
“ Came here because of haggis. Ordered the haggis plate. Never tasted other haggis before so no comparison, but I really like it. Tasty. The gravy sauce is also tasty. But the most important one is halal. Just missing the green vegs. Maybe I should have ordered haggis breakfast plate to have more variety & colour on the plate. Friendly people. Can't beat the location & the view to the castle. Will visit again if I'm going to Edinburgh. ”
“ Salam to the restaurant owners and crew members. My wife and I shared a set of Scottish breakfast and we enjoyed the meal. Window view of the castle is a bonus. Portion is generous (thats why we had to just share). Lemon & ginger drink is so refreshing. They gave us complimentary bottled water. Recommended ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you! ”
