"Probably the quirkiest place in the capital for breakfast. Small, compact but very comfortable. Everything cooked fresh to order by the same guy who waits on the tables. In fact he does everything. Gid only knows how he has the time to do it all. We ate on a Sunday morning so it was pretty full inside but we didnt mind the wait. I opted for the full Scottish breakfast which was great value. 10 items for under a tenner. My wife opted for porridge with honey and a custom breakfast which allows you to choose 4 breakfast items from the menu, served with toast. The black coffee was served in a mug which was a nice touch. Can't beat a mug of coffee on a Sunday morning. Total bill for 2 breakfasts and 4 coffees came in at under £30. As a footnote, we enjoyed it so much, we went back the next morning."

"My son and his gf have been raving about this place for ages, they are regulars but even after the covid closures their favourite orders were remembered. Having lunch here with them felt like they were taking me round to a mate's place, we were all made to feel so welcome. Then the food arrived and oh my, simple food expertly prepared, delicious and satisfying. The Sudanese tea was delightful too. I can see why they come here so often. We were saying that we will have to try their private dining room option soon. 3 courses for £25, with no corkage for BYOB sounds like the ideal place to have a get together. Certainly a bargain but I have heard that the curries here are to die for which makes it even better value. Delicious, healthy, filling , super friendly and cheap, what's not to love."

"Tiny and intimate basement restaurant in Stockbridge with a warm welcome and genuine authentic Italian food which is an order of magnitude above even good Italian eateries. The young couple who own and run it (husband front-of-house, wife cooking) do a fantastic flavour-packed 5- or 7-course tasting menu, with the a la carte option on Thursday and Sunday. We shared a charcuterie platter to start (all sourced from a mountain village in the Marche, with crusty focaccia and peppery olive oil; followed by sweet (and v tender) octopus for my wife and and perfectly cooked, savoury wild mallard breast with pistachios and cavolo nero for me. Brilliantly done, deep deep flavours. As a pudding the goat cheese Seada with figs and honey was absolutely superb: a crispy deep-fried “raviolo” filled with salty goat cheese and balanced by the honey. To kill for. Not joking. Good selection of less-known Italian wines, including several from the Marche region. Not ridiculously expensive, cosy and great vfm. Lovely folk too; food made with love and hospitality."

"Food was lovely. Had a white chocolate and lavender hot chocolate which was so so good. Service was really quick. We only had the table half 11-half 12, we did assumed we would have the table toll 1pm. They were rushing a bit to take our orders as there was another table due at half 12 so felt a little rushed. Drinks and food came really quickly and the waitress kindly shuffled some things around so we had our table till 12:45 which was better. But the next table came in at 12:43 and we were told to leave. It was quite expensive came to nearly £45 for 2 breakfasts and 2 hot drinks. But it is in the centre of Edinburgh and you get a good amount of food in the breakfast. So I'd say it is worth the money!"
