I absolutely love hummus, falafel and general levantine cuisine. I've tried it in many places around the world, and this spot is definitely in my top 5.
The service was lovely, with the person at the counter helping me fully through my decision, as I ordered the large mezze box.
Their baba ganoush is one of the most flavoursome I've had (reminds me of my mum's cooking!). I strongly recommend it, along with the vine leaf rolls (sarmale as we call them in Romania), and the batata harra (spiced roasted potatoes). The hummus is a bit tangy for my taste, but works really well when mixed in with the baba ganoush and eaten along the lentil bake or the spinach pasty.
My only recommendation would be adding something with a spicy kick to it!
Very tasty and fresh food. My first try and just love it!
Easily the best falafel I’ve ever had and I’ve tried them near and far on this place we call Earth. Made in authentic Lebanese style by an incredibly kind human being that makes you immediately feel warm and welcome. Honestly, a chunk of falafel hit the floor and I wasn’t having it! Had to pick it up (5 second rule doesn’t even apply because the place is so clean)
We also enjoyed lovely coffee and Baklava which was as a treat as you’d imagine with those window views.
One of the best meals we’ve had during our month in the UK! The space may appear small from the outside, but you will receive a warm welcome from the owners that prepare this wonderful and flavourful food!
Simple, we go every week for the amazing, fresh food and the fun chat. A brilliant place. Highly recommend it if/when you're in Morningside.
Amazing place! Everything was delicious! So many great vegan options and generous portion sizes, all for a really reasonable price. The owner is lovely, really friendly guy who is clearly very passionate about his food. We were really pleased to see the compostable takeaway packaging too. Will definitely come back if we're ever in Edinburgh again!
The place is amazing, the food is authentic and homemade and the handsome young owner is a pleasure to talk to. Support your local business! I will come here at least once a week from now, to the day I die.
Beautiful food, fresh, lovingly prepared and cooked. The owner has brought his own family recipes from Lebanon to Scotland and his family must be proud. Edinburgh has been treated to great Middle Eastern food. It was my first time today with my girlfriend eating there - in the words of Arnie: "I'll be back!"
It was a lovely small authentic breakfast/lunch Lebanese with a Scottish twist cafe😍 We had two falafel wraps one with baba ganush and the other hummus sauce, fatoush salad, vine leaves, tea and baklava ❤ They deserve more than 5* as they were very welcoming and served great food! Will defo be back.
P.s. the food pics was too late 😂most was already digesting inside.
This is a great little place to get food. My boyfriend recently discovered falafels whilst on holiday and has become a bit obsessed. He has been on a mission to find falafels as good as the ones we had on holiday, and this place wins hands down. The best place to get falafels in Edinburgh. I had the falafel salad and it was the best salad I’ve had in my life.
The people working there were very friendly. They clearly put a lot of love into the food they make.
They only have a couple of tables and most people I saw there were getting food to take away.
A fabulous place. I’ll be a regular there from now on.
