Heard about Nigerian Fanta so had to try it, it's very good. Lives up to the social media hype.
I had the rice and goat meat. The food was good, homely. For anyone who wonders if it'll be too spicy it's not too hot and the spice flavour is more smokey than anything.
I think what drags the place down a little is the decor and atmosphere. The chairs and tables give off a high end vibe but cutlery is pub style on the table - the anagram plates have an American grill style about them and the printed laminated menus feel very informal.
None of this is bad but I feel like the tone is holding this place back from reaching its full potential. Even so the food was great, the staff were friendly and I wish them the best going forward!
We just wanted dinner, but we got the whole Naija experience! Trust me!!
We had so much fun, we came back the next day, and ordered enough for the trip back!
Delicious food, Great music, Lots of laughter, warm and personalised service❤️!
The overall ambience was just the perfect icing to an amazing holiday in Edinburgh!
Kome's smile and friendliness was refreshing, and on meeting John, I can tell Uwagboe's kitchen is headed for greatness!
Where do I start🤣? We tried half the menu!!!
I think the greatest attribute was that it didn't matter what we ate, the seasoning was on point!
The levels of spice took me back to Friday night Lagos joints vibes....yum-yum😋
The before and after pictures tell it all👍🏽🤝🏽
When it was time to unbox my orders back home, I wanted to cry! My Asun!!!😭😭😭
I called them & they apologized and refunded the shortfall😋
In all, it's definitely on my list of favorite places to eat!!!
Very neat, customer service is top-notch. It is very easy to find. The meal tastes very fresh and perfect for Nigerian dishes. The ambience is overwhelming. I returned for dinner after an amazing lunch. I highly recommend this place for anyone planning on tasting local Nigerian dishes..
I had always wanted to eat out at an African restaurant in Edinburgh and I was glad I did at Uwagboe’s kitchen. The food, customer service, ambiance, music and environment was and is very welcoming.
Highly recommend for families, social & official events.
The experience is memorable and worth it
Great job
Food was delicious, the place was such a mood, and the food arrived quickly. I came here before when this was only a small shop, but it has had an amazing upgrade! Also great desserts!
The food was nose blinding and it tasted beyond what word could express. I had to come for the famous seafood okra and pounded yam. I wasn’t disappointed!!!
I must say that the food was excellent and to perfection with top notch service from Kome. The serene atmosphere with jazz music playing in a mild Friday afternoon ensured my family and I had the perfect outing and meal. It was worth every quid.
I visited Uwagboe's kitchen and Grill on my birthday. Although, I never told them that it was my birthday. It is the best African restaurants in Edingburgh. The ambiance is terrific. The food is tasty and filling. Staff members are well behaved, polite and professional. I will recommend this beautiful restaurant to friends and family. Please do not hesitate to visit this restaurant when you are in Edingburgh you will not regret it.
Great place!! The food was absolutely brilliant and all the staff were friendly and welcoming. We did not know what to order and asked the staff for recommendations. We were given an amazing selection of rices and meat plus amazing palm wine . I’m definitely going back!
Thoroughly enjoyed the food here which was so full of flavour. The staff were also very friendly and happily gave us lots of advice on the menu as it was mostly new to us. Highly recommend the Egusi soup with beef. The goat that came with the Jollof rice was also fantastic. I will need to return!
Very welcoming reception. Experienced Nigerian food in heart of Scotland, Edinburgh
The best Dodo and Gizzard, Jollof and beef I have ever tasted!! Easy to get to, great drinks and great service. Would definitely come here again and again!!
Had a great time here... Met with Kome who made sure we had a feel of home. The space is a bit small though but the service and tasty food made up for it.
Having flown all the way from Ghana to Edinburgh for holidays and craving African homemade food, locating this heavenly restaurant was simply a breathe of fresh air.
The ambiance! The service! The FOOD!!! I was blown away 💃🏾 I ordered and ate so much and I don't regret it! A definite must try for EVERYONE!!!
Kudos to the entire team (kitchen, waiters, etc) that makes it an experience ❤️
Beautiful food and friendly service. Tasty beers too. Felt very authentic the flavours were delicious
Unbelievably good food, was invited to the restaurant by a friend and was treated to a fantastic evening. The staff were welcoming and the service throughout the meal was second to none.
The food was divine, I ordered the plant-based egusi with poundo, a side of plantain and a starter of moi moi. It was all brilliant, and as a first introduction to Nigerian food has me sold. Learning to eat with my hands was an experience, and something I really enjoyed doing. The meal arrived in good time and didn't last long once I had started.
This restaurant has managed to place very highly in my recommendations of places to eat in Edinburgh and I'll endeavour to bring as many people here as I can. If you're in the city and fancy trying delicious food in a brilliant atmosphere, you'd have to look hard to find somewhere better than Uwagboe's.
My first time in Edinburgh. I was so hungry and needed to eat an African delicacy. A friend took me there and I had one of the best meal ever, white rice and Ofada. Staff was amazing and welcoming. The environment is clean and got some beautiful aesthetics. Definitely would recommend.
The best African restaurant in Scotland. I had the coconut rice and fried rice with turkey and plantain and it was sick! I definitely recommend and I’ll be coming back myself 🤤😋
Absolutely loved our meal here! Was so tasty and the owner was so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend the fried yams with sauce and jollof rice with goat meat. Definitely check this place out, you won't be disappointed.
