Absolutely amazing place.
Wonderful food, tasty as you expect it to be. Really well served portions.
Really friendly staff, cool atmosphere, nice cold beer to go along your meat.
Definitely will be back to bulk up,lol.
Ps* There's also a great espresso, not that dirty water that you find mostly everywhere from machines badly configured.
First meal in Edinburgh~ I was starving so I’m very happy to have this big dinner. It was great~ The two starters are delicious~and I like the fish dish a lot~ Only thing is the pita and two main dishes are a bit too salty. Except this I like them very much! And the manager is very kind and nice!
Love the grilled mushroom and veggies starter. The pita chicken & hand cut chips were delicious, but it was a tad salty so would be great if they can be less generous with salting the food.
Went to a 60th birthday party here. It was great - really friendly service and the food was authentic and excellent with very generous portions. Really hospitable hosts. Have been for a meal here before which was also great. It is quite small so it made circulation a bit tricky with 26 guests - but we knew that when it was booked. Excellent afternoon - thanks to the staff who were then going on to do a busy evening service once we left!!
Never really had authentic Greek food before so I couldn't compare it to anything else but the food is lovely! We got a starter that came with some pita bread and we had to order an additional pita bread because it was amazing! I order the calamari tou psilou and it was really light and refreshing. I forgot the other name of the dish, but the other dish was very filling because of the pita and chips! The sauce that came with it was really tasty too. Must try👌
WOW! Took me back to my grandmas cooking. Delicious, fresh and truly authentic Greek food. A must try in Edinburgh!
Some of the best Greek food I’ve had in a long time. Fresh ingredients, fluffy warm pita, and an outrageously good moussaka.
Cash only, and would recommend calling to make a reservation
Never in my life have I eaten at a Greek restaurant when travelling. That was the first time. And it was awesome. Great food, like home. Great service also. Great people. Tried the plate called Vouno. Which means mountain and it was indeed a mountain of food: fries, pita and meat. The grilled aubergine with feta was super, the fava from Santorini was like my mother's and bougiourdi was like we do it in Northern Greece. Overall a great experience. If in Edinburgh visit and you will have a proper Greek lunch or dinner.
The pita pita (the grilled chicken) is perhaps the best chicken breast dish I’ve ever had in restaurants: the chicken is slightly charred and chewy on the outside, but tender inside. Well-seasoned—marinated? The pita bread is also grilled to perfection, with a tinge of salt and spice.
The squid is very fresh and tasty, a rarity in all case. The only issue I have with the whole meal is that the fava coming with the squid is very salty—so much so that three glasses of water can barely help me cope with it.
A quaint little Greek restaurant tucked in a little side street along the top of Lothian Road. Service was friendly, and food delivered fast.
Great authentic menu, the hand cut chips are to die for, and the use of high quality olive oil is apparent in the food. One of the better Greek spots in Edinburgh, and has outdoor dining for those days when Edinburgh is blissfully warm and sunny.
First time trying Taxidi in Edinburgh and I have to say I wasn’t let down on any front.. The usual friendly Greek hospitality from the outset which made the evening really enjoyable. The owner who is from the northern part of Greece (Thessaloniki) explained his menu is based on this region. He recommended some starters and then the specials which were a Tomahawk port steak and some lamb chops. They were absolutely delicious, so tender and juicy (to die for).
I thoroughly recommend to give this a try if you like Greek food.. one word or warning though is to book in advance as it’s not a huge place so better not to be disappointed by just turning up on the off chance of a table.
Thank you to the team at Taxidi 👍🏼👍🏼
Amazing food and great service. The meat is tender and flavoursome. The bread soaked with meat juice and yogurt is the best. Definitely one of the best Greek restaurants I’ve ever been
The food is amazing, and there's a lot of choice on the menu. Wine list excellent. Really nice cozy and intimate atmosphere. The staff were super helpful and nice. Cash only is only drawback.
Utterly perfect food. The portion sizes are perfect and from a cypriot person this is so close to my home food love this place and recommend it to everyone
Really good quality foods, especially the meet platter. It says it is meant to feed 2 people but honestly it feeds 3 boys. The staff is extremely kind and it really gives a homey Greek vibe. And also, desserts are simply fantastic!
I don't usually give 5 stars but this was hands down some of the best Greek food I've had in the UK
We jsut went in for a lunch and it was probably the best meal of the trip 👌 would highly recommend!
The food is exceptional. Everything I have tried was awesome and had the quality of hearty homemade food. Limited options for vegans, but you can find something like beans, chips, fava.
The beef stew with the smoked aubergine poure is out of this world. The beans on the other plate where literally melting in the mouth. The hand-cut chips a wonderful surprise!
The place has the vibe of a good Greek tavern. Busy, noisy, cozy, super friendly and all that comes with being Greek. Not the kind of quite/romantic restaurant. More like a community get-together where everyone is talking to each other. So if you like this vibe and good hearty food, you will love this place!
OMG what a great experience. Party of ten with a set menu. The staff went above and beyond. The food was absolutely outstanding. Shout out for the chef. Shout out for the waiting staff. Shout out for Taxidi. Thank you all so much for a great evening. I for one would book again in a heartbeat and I believe my friends will too.
