Karen's Unicorn - Edinburgh, City of

Called here on the off chance whilst on a family visit to Edinburgh. Although they were unable to accommodate us straight away, they suggested we return in 45 mins. True to their word a table was available and it was most definitely worth the wait! Food was delicious, service was polite and efficient. Having eaten in a lot of average restaurants that really could and should do better, this place is a welcome affirmation that some places really can be very good at what they do. Eat here if you can. PS Don’t go for a drink at the pub across the road if you find yourself waiting for a table. £24 for two glasses of red wine that were nothing special (you can buy it for £5 a bottle in Tesco and €3 a bottle in Italy) is daylight robbery.

Just horrible Vegetable Chow Mein very greasy noodles and practically no veg. Probably the worst I’ve ever had.

Been here a few times over the years as the food is always really good. This time was for a family birthday so a special occasion. Have to say, the restaurant really could do with a bit of smartening up I don’t think it’s changed in 10 years as it would make all the difference, chairs are very saggy too. The food, though, is still great. Love the crispy duck, and pork dumplings as starters. Shredded chicken and beef mains really good too as there’s a lot more actual meat than you get in many places. Service was a little confused when we were there suspect some staff were new. Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.

AVOID!!!! A male staff member got very aggressive with me when pointed out his mistake with the order.

Amazing food and Polly delivered incredible service and advice (lots of veggie options! . I will go back … maybe even tomorrow.
