I ordered a deliveroo from K.O. for the first time as I was looking for something spicy and flavourful and I was not disappointed! The range of vegetarian options was really vast and helpful - there was so much to choose from! The spiced garlic mushrooms were absolutely delicious, and I'm not even a fan of mushrooms!

Service was amazing. As soon as we walked in we were looked after really well. Waiter anticipated our needs and knew the food that they were serving. We ordered mains as starters as we wanted to try everything. We were happy with everything. The food was exceptional and it most definitely lives up to its name. A 15 minute walk from where we were staying Princes Street, but I was wearing heels so we ordered an Uber for £7 to get us there. A must for authentic South Asian food. Was definitely worth the visit and will definitely be coming here again.

Not often you experience this: 7 Star Customer Service and 7 Star Food. They made a minor error on one of the dishes which was not available, but they compensated for it swiftly and with a real dedication to Customer service. The food was the best I've ever had at a South Asian restaurant. Absolutely brilliant. The gentleman who served us takes Customer care and attention very seriously. You make Scotland proud. From a visitor from England!

Kebabish Edinburgh serve one of the best Indian food. Ambiance is good, friendly staff. They don’t have a bar but free to bring your own drink.
I love their mixed grill which is one of the best in Edinburgh. Fresh and tasty as always. They do Lamb shanks - lamb Nihari which is again one of their signature dish. Lamb shanks slow cooked for very long time, meat comes off the bone that easy.
We really enjoyed our evening, Place is family friendly and the staffs are caring. I highly recommend this place for your family events.

Absolutely brilliant! Very reasonably priced with very generous portions. The best Indian food I’ve eaten. Ever. Chicken was cooked perfectly. The dips were full of flavour. The rice was delicious. And the bed of onions were a perfect complement to the chicken. I also had too many bites of garlic naan. What a fantastic experience!

My boyfriend and I waited an hour for food, butter chicken and chicken tikka masala with naan. Once we received our plates, there was literally five small chicken chunks in each portion for 12 quid a piece. Extremely greasy and unappetizing. We left without touching it and the waiter chased us down outside. We explained our reason for leaving and he let us be. Instead, we had take out across the street where we immediately received better customer service and good food for half the price.

I live close by so was looking forward to trying this place out. Sadly it was very underwhelming, after getting seated and taking our order, it took 40 minutes for the starter to come which is too long by anyone's standards. I had the grilled prawn starter which was £7.95 and genuinely its three medium sized prawns butterflied with a shockingly bad iceberg lettuce side salad. Main was mediocre. The bill was £58 for two starters and two mains and two soft drinks.

I have only collected take away food from this restaurant so I can't comment on the serving experience. It's true that every few months I see new faces (assistant waitresses mainly), but the Indian/Pakistani guys seem regular to me. It's considered a busy place, very spacious and the customers' origins vary.
Now, about the take away food. I've tried all their Biryani dishes and they're mouth watering!! If you live close by, it's better to grab the food and go home to enjoy it, as the price difference is considerable!! For example lamb biryani and peshwari naan

Oh dear, had a really poor meal here. Will never be back. The service was beyond poor and it took an hour for the food to arrive. When it finally came it was just fine - nothing to write home about - and I was completely underwhelmed.
At one point we asked a waitress how much longer it would be for food. No joke, she shrugged her shoulders and said "I don't know" and that was it! She didn't apologise, check with the kitchen, ask us if we wanted another drink, anything. I burst out laughing at her behaviour and the guys on the table next to us started a chat about how long

Well priced with a decent range of dishes. Pretty swift service. The restaurant is a bit draughty though, as noted by earlier reviewers. Could also do with having the extractor fan in the gents fitted back into the plasterboard. A good place to go with a group of mates though so I'd be happy to make a return visit.

After passing by KO a gazillion times, finally had dinner at the place for a friend's farewell
Watching from the outside its brightly lit restaurant, we usually find it packed with people. We must have decided to drop in on an unusually quiet day.
Service is slow, which is disappointing.
We had naan and tandoori chicken... pretty decent.
As poor scholars, we thought the price was slightly out of a student's budget but overall, the portions was quite sizable.

After hearing quite a bit about this place we finally decided to check it out.
It turns out it's a great establishment, you can't find such an array of grilled foods under one roof in Edinburgh as this place!
The food is rather spicy but it compliments the meat nicely.
Also the prices are very reasonable.
I recommend it :)

Kebabish is the UK's biggest chain of Asian restaurants. Their dishes from the grill are first class. I didn't care much for the place, though, and the service was down right poor.
Overall, we said: "the food that I had at Kebabish was extremely good. The service and setting don't match it, at all. The frowner-in-chief should turn his attention away from glowering at his chefs and glower at his serving staff, instead. If that dead-eye stare has the same effect on them as is does on the kitchen staff, he'll address the place's real weaknesses, in no time."

I really like Kebabish Original. I go often simply because its across from my flat and the food is good, fairly priced and the service is also reasonable. I cant say that i have ever had a bad (or even average meal there). Its always really busy and lively and thats always a good sign. No corkage on the BYOB either !

I work just around the corner from this place now, and every day when I leave I can smell the A-Ma-Zing aromas that come from the back door.
My colleuges and I went here for a quick lunch last week and I can honestly say it was delicious. Almost perfect.
The lunchtime menu is limited, but for two courses at just under £7, it was just right. I had some lovely chicken pakora, very moist and crispy, delicious with some spicy pakora sauce and a little (and for me, always unnecessary) salad.
Main was a butter chicken curry, which I'm pretty sure had about two weeks worth of calories in there

What's this? Yet another review of something within spitting distance of your house Chris?! Quelle surprise!
Get over it. It's happening.
Sure enough, Kebabish is situated not two minutes from my house on Dalry Road, and if I wasn't spoiled enough already with the likes of Chop Chop and Sushiya a mere stone's throw away (amongst many other fine places), there's now another place to add to the list. That's right, Kebabish was surprisingly top notch.
We were met, seated and made our order with no fuss or bother and the food arrived pretty quickly too. Fun times!

Just been here tonight for the first time. I'd bought a voucher from Groupon and, after hearing mixed reviews about Groupon itself, this was my first time trying a voucher so i was a bit wary. I booked this afternoon and made sure I told them I had a voucher and where it was from. There was no hassle and my table was booked for 8pm.
When we showed up however it was clear that there had been some mistake and whoever had taken the booking either hadn't understood me or had forgotten to write it down. There was no hassle though and after a very short wait we were seated with apologies

It's funny how a place can get some things so right and others totally wrong. I once had a big argument with a friend about how a chicken kebab isn't actually that unhealthy - grilled chicken on a pitta bread, with salad. "Yeah but what about the garlic mayo and chilli sauce?" "Well yeah, but McDonald's don't put burger sauce on their calorie count, do they?" 1 - 0 Wallace.
Anyway, the kebabs in this place are excellent. Beautifully seasoned and genuinely tasty, and cooked on a charcoal grill. The salad is actually pretty good too, not just the usual chopped
