Where to eat Turkish food in Edinburgh: The Best Restaurants and Bars

November 16, 2019 Madelene Haan

Find out what Turkish restaurants to try in Edinburgh. Edinburgh’s neighborhoods developed as the city did. Originally its heart lay in the alleys and cobbled streets of the Old Town, below the castle. Then, in the late-18th century, the residential focus shifted north to a huge planned Georgian New Town. That’s now become the city’s business center, while visitor attractions and nightlife have become fairly evenly shared between these two central districts. Around them, a ring of residential districts now house most of those living in central Edinburgh. Though less good for sightseeing, these neighborhoods are just as busy and typified by thriving restaurant scenes and large parks.

Pera - Turkish Mangal & Meze Bar

Authentic home made Turkish cuisine in the heart of Edinburgh. Charcoal BBQ grill for that true Turkish flavour and a large daily selection of fresh home made Meze!

Looked at TripAdvisor for ideas and found this restaurant and I’m so glad I did. This is a small, intimate restaurant with no fancy decor so might put people off but it shouldn’t. The food was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. I can’t recommend this place highly enough.

We visited during a stay in the area.Had booked in advance after consulting Trip Advisor for ideas for restaurants.We love Turkish/Greek food, so this place jumped out at us & I’m so glad it did. We have been to Meze Meze in Rose street before & love it, so thought we would try here. The food was amazing. We chose the mixed meze for 2 & our 13 year old son had a separate kids meal but tried some of ours too. Everything was so tasty, fresh & flavoursome & plentiful. We washed it down with Efes. Food & service was excellent, decor was stunning with all the Turkish lamps, loved it. We will definitely return next time we are back in the area. Highly recommend you visit. Thank you so much for visiting Kezban and we greatly appreciate your review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the food served here and that you found it all to be fresh and flavoursome. Thank you for your kind comments regarding our staff and for appreciating our unique decor. We hope you enjoyed your stay and we hope to see you again very soon!

We stopped by early on a Friday evening and enjoyed the 3 Mezes & Dessert for £15.95. Every item we ordered was freshly prepared and full flavored; we were quite impressed by just how good the food was. Service, in this small family run place, was equally good. The warm Shaksuka aubergine cubes sauteed in tomato, garlic and onion were our favorite.

Rodi Restaurant

Reviewed By Brian M

Booked a table for 10 on a Friday night during the festival. From the outside this restaurant looks ordinary, however, the experience was far from ordinary and did not disappoint. The service for such a large group was excellent. The menu has plenty of choice , bbq meat being the main attraction. As well as the food we ordered the chef provided us with small plates of humous and other delicacies which was a nice touch. Good value for money.We booked a table around 9.30 which was quite late but were never rushed or put under pressure despite being the last diners in the restaurant. Will definitely be back.

Visited here for a friend's birthday. Great food and service, the waiters were attentive and accommodating. My only slight issue was the price - considering the establishment is a little out of the city centre, it did seem a bit overpriced. However, I'd still visit again, but only for a special occasion.
