This is a good place to go if you want lunch - they do filling sandwiches at a good rate.

However, I went here for dinner a couple of months ago and I found it to be quite expensive and the food wasn't very good. It could do with a good lick of paint also.

I expected dinner to be quite cheap considering it was in the heart of student territory but I struggled to find a decent main course for under £12 - which I think is over-priced considering the location and the kind of place that it is.

The only good point is that it is bring your own.

Nile Valley is good for a tasty sandwich at lunch-time but I would not recommend going here for dinner.

This is one of my favourite places to eat in Edinburgh. I recommend the wraps for lunch - African breads filled with falafel, fava beans or baba ganoush chilli sauce, yoghurt salad etc.

For dinner, I would recommend the kibdeh (liver) for starters and the mixed grill for main course - though there are lots of tasty curry-style dishes too. Also make sure you order some side dishes. There are plenty of real dishes for vegetarians also so it's a good choice for a mixed party.
