Mayflower - Edinburgh, City of

Got a delivery and it was cold and congealed. Food had strange taste. Phoned to ask for a refund and was shouted at, and spoken over by the woman on the phone. Was called a liar when I told her the delivery time and even though it cost me £30 she said she could only refund £20 as it cost her money to cook the food and she had to pay her driver! What an insult! So I'm paying her electricity bill and her drivers wages even though I've returned all the food. What a joke!

We tried the Mayflower as our local Chinese takeaway closed for 6 weeks during covid19. We were quite excited as hadn’t had our takeaway fix for a few weeks and we were all disappointed. Nothing was nice. I couldn’t eat mine. We shared starters, the spare ribs were so fatty and the sauce was watery, the chicken wings were seemingly ok, the prawn toast was soft saturated in vegetable oil as were the vegetable spring rolls. I had chicken chow mein and it was awful. The thick noodles were slimy. I couldn’t eat the chicken as didn’t like the colour it was and threw mines in the bin as I couldn’t eat it. My partner had the chicken curry which was so bland you’d never know it was a curry and had no curry flavour or much flavour at all to be honest. A friend had beef with Chinese mushrooms, his beef was super chewy. You know it’s bad when you need to put frozen pizza on because everyone’s food from the takeaway was not edible. I would not recommend unless you like the taste of vegetable oil and everything to be dripping in grease. Would never go here again.

Mayflower my auntie has been getting delivery for over 20 years now food is fantastic and driver are fantastic too they know their customers and always up for a little banter at the door

The service at this restaurant is excellent - they take my order quickly and already know my usual dishes. Although I have tried other menu items, I prefer sticking to my two favorites. I always trust that the food will be piping hot and delicious at this local spot. I highly recommend Mayflower for their quick delivery and polite drivers.

I decided to try this takeout restaurant since it is nearby, and I am so glad I did! The food is delicious, portions are generous, and prices are reasonable. I would definitely recommend it.
