Taste Good
67-71 Slateford Road, EH11 1PR, Edinburgh
from RossDouglas (25%) on May 3rd, 2008 (2 months ago)
As a regular customer since the Taste Good first opened its doors I would highly reccomend it to anyone wishing to sample Chinese food at its best.
The underground dining area can be a bit off putting at first but once your food arrives you will forget all about this.
Dishes worth trying include Aromatic Crispy Duck with Pancakes (Pricey at £12.20 but more than worth it) Shredded Beef with Chilli (Spicy but not too hot that you can't taste anything else) and Chicken with Yellow Bean sauce.

Khushi's
9 Victoria Street, EH1 2HE, Edinburgh
from sboyd (36%) on May 2nd, 2008 (2 months ago)
I've been to Khushi's a few times now and it is always great. Their veggie selection is not bad for a non-veggie restaurant and their carrot and orange juice is gorgeous (though I've yet to convince anyone else to try it too...). And I'd heartily recommend the tandoori mushrooms - totally yum.
I agree that the place can be really quite noisy, that's what has cost it half a star! But when it is quiet, it's lovely. I noticed that some of the other reviews stated that the staff were impersonal or that they rushed you, I have to say that I have never had those experiences.
The staff are very quick at delivering the food and clearing up, but they also have a fantastic sense of humour and are always ready for a giggle. However, they don't hang around, they are always speeding off to help someone else, so that may make them appear rushed.
On our last visit, they were quick to bring the bill, but left us to chat for another half an hour at least - we were the ones to move, they didn't make us feel as if we had to.
And they have never lurked when I've been in, except to clean up a very, very messy table that we'd covered in poppadom and naan crumbs - oops ;)
All this and at a quite reasonable price too - Khushi indeed :)

Fishers in the City
58 Thistle Street, EH2 1EN, Edinburgh
from Mike and Lynne (19%) on April 25th, 2008 (2 months ago)
Could not fault this restaurant. Service is attentive but not overbearing reflecting the relaxed atmosphere. Food is excellent, fish soup was simply stunning, main courses - fish pie and Stonebass were again faultless. Pudding was a chocolate crepe filled with mascarpone and morello cherries, again perfect not oversweet and aided by some fresh tangy raspberries. Very good wine lst with house wines starting at £13.95. Bill came to £73, excellent value for money. Highly recommend.

from NealeG (18%) on April 23rd, 2008 (3 months ago)
Amazing how this place has been revived. Really stylish and comfortable with a wide ranging food & drinks menu. Lots of choices well prepared and presented. Great eats and good value, I'll certainly be back.

Maison Bleue
36-38 Victoria Street, EH1 2JW, Edinburgh
from ddcook (63%) on April 18th, 2008 (3 months ago)
I went to Maison Bleue for a dinner with work knowing it had an ok reputation, but came away having had one of the best meals I have ever had in Edinburgh. The scallop starter was good, tasty, nothing to bowl me over but thoroughly enjoyable. The jewel in the crown came with the "chef's special" which was a cous cous and meat fest, presented on 3 plates, one with cous cous and vegetables, one with some dip in spicy sauce and one which was a platter of meat, "north African style"- sausage, chicken and a big chunk of lamb. For once in my life I would say there was nothing I could fault about this dish, the taste was fantastic and portion size floored me, maybe the first time I could ever say that! I can't remember now the cost but I still came away with change for a twenty on my maincourse, which for what I got was fantastic.
Everyone in the group loved their meals, and many long time Edinburgh residents said it was one of best they had had in the city. Definitely one to go back to.

The Hill Station
99 Comiston Road, EH10 6AG, Edinburgh
from Noni (19%) on April 4th, 2008 (3 months ago)
Supreme!
Never find anything so good, especially their Lamb Dhansak. I was lived around the corner as well so it was bad for my diet but I still cannot resist weekly treat. Well done!

Hung Lam Chinese Take Away
96 South Clerk St, EH8 9PT, Edinburgh
from irishphat (78%) on April 3rd, 2008 (3 months ago)
I'm on my way here now as it's my standard take away in the area. I generally find it to be cheap and cheerfull with excellent grub. So far I've had the Szezuan, Sweet and Sour (both regular and Hong Kong Style), beef and mushroom, lemon chicken and my all time favourite and tonight's likely fare - Singapore noodles.
All very tasty and personally I think they taste like Chinese take-away ought to taste. Usual sized portions and usually dead easy to eat and finish off. Good sized spring rolls as well. I've also had the spicy chicken wings which are top notch.
Delivery is usually prompt - used to be by a guy who used to be in the Royal Engineers who has some great stories about being in the south east asian area in the 60s while on tour (ask him about Gurkhas). Highly entertaining.
Good grub, reliable and affordable.

Tex Mex II
64 Thistle Street, EH2 1EN, Edinburgh
from jason (19%) on April 3rd, 2008 (3 months ago)
This is a great wee restaurant in a cute little back street. The decor is not luxurious, but the food makes up for this and the portions are a good size, which is important to me. They have a great selection, including enough dishes for veggies and the staff are always friendly. try it! J.

Thai Orchid
5a Johnston Terrace, EH1 2PW, Edinburgh
from Alicat (28%) on April 2nd, 2008 (3 months ago)
In terms of good food, fantastic service and value for money this restaurant is superb! As with most thai restaurants the menu is lengthy but not so much that you don't know where to start, the staff are very attentive but not in your face, finally the food tastes amazing and is very authentic.
In terms of cost, a meal for 2 with starters and mains and a bottle of good wine costs between £50-£60. Not bad at all!

Kampong Ah Lee Layasian Delight
28 Clerk Street, EH8 9HX, Edinburgh
from bill (19%) on March 31st, 2008 (3 months ago)
Very small but busy restaurant. The decor is basic - wooden tables and chairs. The food is excellent, portions are large and value for money. There is a large menu choice, so it will take some time to decide what you want. A good mixture of Chinese and traditional Malaysian fare is available. Meat is often served on the bone - so the flavours are wonderful - but be careful when you chew! Make sure you order some Roti Cenai for starters which is served with a delicious curry dipping sauce. This place is popular with students so you might need to book to make sure you get a table. Well worth a visit.
