What a wonderful night at the empires bistro! The cooking what very good (especially the desert 🤩) and the service very kind and lovely.
Thank you so much!
At a bit of a loss as to where to have dinner and my girlfriend suggested Turkish, seen as we've never had it before...So glad she did.
The staff, I'm assuming the tall guy was the boss, were very attentive.
Before I'd even had 2 sips of my Turkish beer (which was nice and light) our food was here?!
This is a really special place, I often choose to come here on my birthday or when there is something big to celebrate! It's a small middle eastern/Turkish restaurant with a cosy and intimate atmosphere. They have a huge menu with all the dishes served tapas style, and designed to share. Absolutely
Cozy place with very tasty Turkish food. Big portions of dishes and friendly staff.
Loved this place. Stopped here during the festival. Amazing, great food, top notch perfect coffee (seriously great job). Loved the classic decor, nice atmosphere, very relaxed.
Be aware there is limited seating here, in sure at dinner time this place must be jumping.
What a great spot! You feel like you're in a different country because of the atmosphere. Well decorated and nice music. Food wise this place is a 10 out of 10, we ordered a 5 meze platter each and that was more than enough to feel like we had one of the greatest meals ever.
We got a dish of five different selections and enjoyed them all. The food was very good and we'd happily dine here again - provided they fix the following issues we experienced during our visit:
There was a very strong smell of some sort of cleaner in the opening of the restaurant when we arrived b
Amazing new and really good for groups. All your favourite Turkish dishes in an authentically decorated cosy restaurant. If you've more than 4 people and you can go all you can eat. BYOB but the corkage can be steep! No cards, take cash.
Such a gorgeous little treasure on St Mary’s Street. Amidst all the bars are a few tourist traps, this is an absolute gem with a great atmosphere, amazing service and delicious food. It’s also BYO wine and beers (£3 corkage for win & 50p for beer). Will definitely go back and would highly recommend.
Nice cozy little place with really good vegan options. A hidden gem just off the tourist route. Makes a refreshing change to the usual options. Cash only when I went. Would definitely go back if I am ever in the area again.
Great food and service, fair pricing. Enjoyable mezze with mint tea. The decor and menu reminded us of lots of happy trips to Morocco and got us talking and reminiscing. Nice soundtrack in the background.
ADD IT to your list especially if looking for something that isn't a chain restaurant serving p
The food was really nice. Ordered several mezzes for 2 people sharing, a deal they have, and it was quite filling. The atmosphere is nice and cosy. Not too busy which I normally prefer. Very good customer service.
We popped in early evening for the veggie meze, and a beer. Concise menu but fine for a quick, not too filling meal. Finished with baklava. Place itself is casual and fairly low key but the decor, with its cushions and twinkly lamps, makes it quite cosy. Good soundtrack while we were there too.
A lovely little restaurant that does absolutely delicious food. I've been here several times and always have a mezze selection. The only problem is deciding which options to have because they're all yummy. Their party menu is great for a large group and their BYO policy means you can have a great ni
Lovely food, very tasty and generous portions. Staff are very accomodating and the owner being around luckily, he offered us a sweet treat. The place is a temple of relaxation and a beauty to the eye. 5/5
Went the other day, stumbled upon it when looking for somewhere that had lots of veggie and vegan options while we were visiting edinburgh. There was a great Greek singer and guitarist, and the waitress was very attentive and friendly, and the whole place had a lovely and cozy atmosphere. Definitely
