Hanam’s was walking distance from our hotel and was the hangout spot for the two nights we were there. The place is amazing. We went down a flight of stairs and ended up on a terrace three floors up towards the back. The ambiance is really nice. The service is prompt and friendly. We had the cheese borek in the shape of spring rolls which came with a dip - so good! The cappuccino is pretty good too. Shisha was amazing here. Nice place to check out when it’s not too cold. Smoking is only allowed on the terrace but they gave us blankets so it wasn’t too bad.
Simply delicious!!! food....
...and they were sweet enough to fit us in at very short notice.
Our meal tonight at Hanams was superb. Full of flavour and served by friendly and helpful staff. We finished with coffee and dessert but we were so so full! Fantastic...so glad we made it, and would definately reccomend!
This is very nice place to taste different Arabian cuisine food at decent price , they also serve shisha , service was very good .the food tasted really good. go for it if you need shisha and awesome Arabian food.
Place to have great Arabic food and great place for good Shisha. Close to the castle and near to some shopping place. Have to visit if u love good Arabic food and Shihas.
This place is amazing for its food and sheesha. The berry rice is a must have, it's got the perfect Irani taste to it and is just amazing. The staff is warm and sweet. The portions are huge and just a great burst of flavour. The lamb kebabs, grilled sea bass, saffron ice cream and baklava are a must have. You can not miss this place if you are a food lover.
Can't wait to go back here! The food is lovely and the variety of food they have makes it tough to make a decision, the presentation is ace and the decor is just so lovely! It's small but cosy and your well looked after!
Love love love! One of my absolute favs here in Edinburgh! The portions are incredible and the naan is beautiful and light. Yum! Service is great and very accommodating. Also, BYOB...
Well the food is just sooooo delicious and the naans were so big but not heavy.They are really soft and fluffy.we ordered that 2 course meal and man that was enough for us.You get one starter and one main which is served with naans or rice.The starters we ordered were hummus and the other one was some potato starter.And they were really good.For the main course we had shawarma wrap and Ghost kebab-the ghost kebab came with two big naans and chilli sauce.Whoa it was a satisfying meal and really really delicious.wouldn't think twice to visit again.
Hanam's is easily one of my favourite restaurants in the city. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, and the food is affordable and consistently excellent. The veggie kebab is my go-to meal: a big portion of marinated vegetables, garlic and chili sauces, and clay oven naan - for only £9.95.
They have outdoor seating on Victoria Terrace, and a nice selection of shisha flavours available for £10.
(The restaurant is BYOB but only beer/cider is allowed)
just oooooo ooooo ooo! lovely!! I loved the service here, the great friendliness, the great idea, the atmosphere, the amazing little touches this restaurant gives! It's quite personalised and really warm. The food .. wow.. mmm.. even the salad is mouth watering!! The desserts, the coffee, the kebabs.. all are great portion sizes and so so so fresh and yum. And though we ended up nearly having a lunch costing £100 it was worth every penny. The kebabs.. Wow wow. Was just so delicious. The coffee though is an ackquired taste.. I'm now going there at least once a month.. Tooo many dishes and sweets to try. Service here is so sweet and dead friendly.. Chilling out here is a must!
Absolutely brilliant Kurdish food. Must trys include the lamb kebab, the chicken kebab and the slow cooked lamb in gravy. The service person was all smiles and efficient. Highly recommend the place for a flavour packed meal.
The food was delicious, very fresh, well cooked, they had the most delicious dessert I've ever tried in my life!. This place has a relaxed, casual vibes, very clean and spacious. Our waiter was very nice and explained to us the menu, very cheerful as well😊👌
Food was delicious, the staff including the owner were very friendly and welcoming. Had a mix grill platter and chicken shawarma. We loved the terrace over Victoria Street
Notice they changed their name to Daika, so when you’re following the map, look for Daika instead.
Great Kurdish restaurant, very fresh and flavorful food. You’re greeted with fresh flat bread that is fantastic. The fattoush salad was excellent as well.. The Huumus with lamb, baba gannoush and kebabs were wonderful, the cardamon ice cream and coffee were a delight
The mixed grill was delicious. All the lamb cubes, lamb and chicken kebab were pleasantly flavourful. Both the kebabs were tender. The lamb cubes could have been more tender, but was still acceptable.
The prawn grill was either over cooked or prawns used were not fresh. The scales of the prawn were stuck to the prawn flesh, and it was also tough, almost like rubber.
The naan was nice on the edges, where it was thicker and puffier, but the middle of the naan was overly dried and hard, much like a biscuit, than a bread.
The hummus was a tad sour, possibly too much lemon juice, but overall, still a good smooth hummus.
Grilled meat is like the one that our fathers make in our garden. Can't describe how delicious it is. So fresh and so tasty. Unfortunately I don’t have more photos as we we’re extremely hungry and at the end we fell into a post-dinner food coma 😀
Thank you Chef 👨🍳
Delicious Middle Eastern cuisine right by the castle. My partner and I shared the lamb shawarma wrap and ordered a hummus appetizer. We both agree it was the best hummus we’ve ever had! The atmosphere was also nice and we had a lovely view by the window. The staff was also attentive :)
This place holds a good experience.
Upon arrival my friend I were warmly welcomed, and then taken to a seating place of our choice inside the restaurant. Arabian music in the background, and the seating space is quite nice actually. They even have seating spaces outside if that’s what you fancy. The food arrived pretty quick, and it was all fresh. Everything I ordered I was happy with, I can not falter their food. Honestly, the place is great!
Omg Kurdish vibes, defo check this place out, loved all the foods starters to salad to mains yummmmmmm , the slow cooked lamb was so tender. Loved this food, the best and free Shesha in the end was just perfect alhamdulillah 👌 🙌
A must visit.
Really delicious food. Hummus and lamb chops in particular.
The staff were very friendly.
A place was assigned for us to perform our prayers.
Thanks Daika 🤲🏼
We loved stopping here for a break while we waited for our castle tour. Delicious food, super fresh and homemade. The vibe is lovely and the atmosphere bright and warm. Staff were delightful and attentive.
I was celebrating my daughter's 18th birthday, we wanted to try something new. What an experience, we were well greeted and had great interaction with the staff and management. Our food was insane, flavour explosion and substantial portions. I would highly recommend trying Hanam's we will absolutely be back. Thank you for a wonderful evening.
Good Kurdish/Arab food. I little pricey but tasty. Highly recommend the Muhammara as a starter. Only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 was that a 10% optional service charge was included in my bill without asking me first. Please do not do this. Hike your rates if you must but don't put customers in awkward situations with waiters.
Nice greeting, lovely food and atmosphere. Reasonably priced too.
The food was delicious, varied, and aromatic. Loved the staff we spoke to. Great location and have a pretty decent selection of beers and wines - the staples. I highly recommend the mixed grill for main and Baba ganoush for starter
The service and atmosphere have gone downhill at this place after the rebranding from Hanams. We sat for thirty minutes in an almost restaurant and weren't so much offered water or the chance to order drinks while we waited.
The food is still excellent so I suspect the kitchen staff is unchanged.
