Suggestions for eating out in Edinburgh

[neil-c]

Looking for. A suggestion for eating in the centre of Edinburgh. It's a group of 10 guys with healthy appetites so no haute cuisine and decent value would be useful. Perhaps Indian, Chinese, Mexican with a decent atmosphere on a midweek night

Khushi's. http://www.khushis.com/edinburgh/

[neil-c]

Khushis is a good shout, ate there a few years back when they were in the street out of the Grassmarket. (Come to think about it I take it they never re-opened there after the fire?) Unfortunately they are bit too far out of centre for us on this occassion. Ideally I'm looking for somewhere Old Town / Grassmarket

Gurkha Cafe in Cockburn Street is an excellent Nepalese restaurant.
Mother India Cafe in Infirmary Street for consistently good tapas-style Indian.
Tanjore in Clerk Street for really good, and different, South Indian food (but you need to BYOB as they've no licence to sell alcohol).

Thanks, some good shouts there. Especially like the look of Gurkha Cafe and in the perfect location for us. Thanks again.

Bells Diner in stockbridge?

Jimmy chungs on waverly bridge.

Or seriously Chop Chop on Morrison street near haymarket.

TexMex on Thistle Street sounds like it might be what you're after. Tiny restaurant, big portions of all sorts of fried cheesey (aka Mexican) stuff. Had an epic meal there a previous Christmas.

Give them a call to check they still exist as when I googled them it came up with a couple of reviews last July with a mysterious closure, but there's reviews again later in the year.

Mussel and steak bar in grassmarket. What more do guys need to eat?

That is very annoying. I saw those reports but figured it was a different place!

They do/did the best nachos in town too!

[neil-c]

That Mexican sounded good too. Pity.

Been to mussel and steak place and it was pretty good, will keep it in mind.

Gurkha cafe still favourite I think, though never been to Jimmy Chungs, any good?

[sherman]

Jimmy chungs is your standard chinese buffet. It will feed you all but it wont be a gastronomic feast.

Khushis is terrible. Worst resturant i've been to. Been three times, twice last year and food was bland and service was f*cuking disgusting. ClayOven in Morningside is a good Indian and ChopChop is also recommended.

Chop Chop is excellent NE Chinese food - very unusual. I also like Fishers and The Outsider.

I ate there on Wednesday. A fantastic venue with great views. The food was okay, the wine cheaper than I expected. The bill for 12 of us that I picked up was robust enough though

My favorite place to eat (that I have found) in Edinburgh is The Dogs http://www.thedogsonline.co.uk/

Great service (when you understand to respect the mad guy running it), an informal atmosphere, but seriously good home cooking.
