Rodi Turkish Mediterranean Restaurant

I was unimpressed they didn’t take credit cards given that they had a sign on the door saying they did. Food and service were fine though.

Tasty Turkish food, cooked to order, so you may have a little wait. However, it is worth it. Friendly service, fresh food, what more do you need?

A small restaurant that is big on flavour. The owner is lovely and when you see local Turkish families eating there, you know you're in for a treat and they did not disappoint. The restaurant is a stone's throw from the Edinburgh International conference centre (EICC). If you are going to an event there then Rodi Restaurant is a must.

The service was good and the food was excellent with a good range of starters and main courses. It wasn't very busy when we were there, despite the Fringe being in full swing, which was a pity - the restaurant deserves to be busier.

The owner was very friendly and recommend dishes off the menu for us. Even though the restaurant was busy our drinks came quickly followed shortly by the starters. This is not a fast food restaurant is somewhere where the food is cooked fresh and sometime that takes more than 5 mins (and appeared to upset some customers). The food was great and worth the wait - fantastic evening.

Excellent food and service, a minute of two's walk from the EICC. Most of the other customers were Turkish, so authentic too. Would definitely eat there again.

Great authentic Turkish food in a nice dinig area with a very friendly manager. I tried a sample of all the meats and I think the spiced lamb was the best.

Excellent , tasty, good value food and friendly relaxed service. This was my second visit and will certainly be back. Big menu of authentic Turkish dishes.

We had the meal for two the starters were fantastic the main meal was also fantastic the meat melted in your mouth the wine went down a treat staff were friendly will definitely be heading back a must if in Edinburgh

This place was truly awesome! Great authentic Turkish food at a reasonable price. Service was outstanding. It is a MUST if you are in Edinburgh.

Very good atmosphere, friendly staff and very delicious and authentic food. Real Turkish beer, nice Turkish coffee, which you can drinks with baklava. The restaurant offers a choice of wines.

A great choice for an early Satturday lunch. Good range of meat, fish and vegetarian dishes. Only ordered main courses but was given fresh pitta bread and homemade dips to start. We enjoyed our visit - only our second date!

Food was good but service was overly fast, very keen to get us food and get us out to get next table in. No offer of more drinks. Main courses served before starters were cleared. Wasn’t a lovely welcoming experience that would truly take you back to turkey.

Reat food, very friendly staff, highly recommended. We had a fabulous evening last Friday. The special platter was absolutely delightful. Will definitely return next time we're in Edinburgh.

Great decor, service, and food! We loved the meal to share and my boyfriend and I cannot wait to go back again. Perfect date night!

The food was delicious and the meat beautifully cooked but we had the banquet and it felt a bit over priced - the starter just consisted of 4 dips.

Lovely little place. Great Food. Will go again. Had the hot and cold mixed platter. Hummus dips were lovely. Bread nice and fresh. All meat cooked perfect.

Service was amazing, staff couldn't have been more welcoming. The food was just great, so tasty and well presented. I was surprised by how reasonably priced the menu was given how central the restaurant it, I would have expected to pay more.

Friendly service, great and tasty food. Relaxed and efficient service. Had a great tasty chicken dish cooked in a clay pot. Also several tasty Mezes

Nice food, small portions for the price charged. Would not return again. Gallery pictures look better than what is on the site. Disappointed with experience.

A very very enjoyable meal. The food was extremely tasty with meat clearly of good quality. Service was very good, friendly and very sincere. Will definitely re-visit when I'm back in Edinburgh.

Lovely welcome! Food was really good. Loved the yoghurt and honey dessert! Not too busy for a Saturday evening and was really close to our hotel. Thank you.

Fantastic restaurant! The food and service were outstanding. We had halloumi and liver to start, then a mixed grill and tavuk sis for main courses. Everything was cooked perfectly and quality of the meat excellent. Staff couldn’t have been more welcoming. This was our first visit and we will definitely be back!

Beautiful food, great service. The menu looked amazing and it didn’t disappoint. Delicious grilled meat. Will definitely be back to try other dishes. Thank you!

Excellent Turkish-mediterranean food. Rapid and friendly service. Situated in the proximity of Edinburgh's city centre. Strongly recommend the charcoal grilled lamb ribs and the falafel.

The positive reviews about the food are correct. We chose to be there on the Thursday night prior to Christmas so there were noisy groups so not the best time to think about ambiance. The staff were concerned greatly for tables with smaller numbers and apologised for the noise but it was not their fault and I was pleased that they cared. Service was still smooth and quick, food was still good and I have no doubt that my return visit will be a lot less noisy. Please don't let the above comments put anyone off visiting. This is more than just a meze - type restaurant and the food was tasty, delicious and I thought, good value for money!

Visited here for first time recently. It was excellent from the minute we stepped in until we left. We were greeted by Ali and he was excellent. Extremely welcoming and friendly. The food was very good. So tasty. We will definitely return next time we are in Edinburgh. Slightly off beaten but only a few minutes from Usher Hall.

a great Turkish restauraunt. Food was great. really enjoyable. good house wine.

good food and service at great price - wine not too expensive - recommend the grilled fish it was spectacular - Ali is a good laugh as well.

Very good service despite being very busy (good sign in a restaurant). Food was excellent and we all enjoyed it. Have been several times and not been disappointed.

Smiling and speedy service. Lots of menu choices. Comfortable seats. Food tasty and hot. Salads served with our meals were delicious. We would highly recommend.

Really enjoyed the aubergine starter and others had humus and calamari. The halloumi was good too. Our mains were good - lamb and mixed meat. The only criticism is perhaps that many of the dishes are over tomatoed and the tomato sauce drowns out the taste of the meat. Would recommend though.

Excellent freshly cooked food in a lovely atmosphere. We had the Ridi Banquet and would highly recommend it Ask Ali to advise on portions if you are unsure

Friendly people excellent servive. The food is out of this world. Freshly marinated meat cooked from chilled nothing frozen as you will tell in the taste (apart from the chips :-) ) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Good food, authentic vibe and happy staff. Need more? Oh, looks like you do. It's in a handy location close to Lothian road, haymarket and the end of the canal. Go!

We came for lunch and ordered the Rodi Special BBQ. Service was paced just right, and we left two hours later. Food was Superb, just make sure you are properly hungry.

Very overpriced - 14.95 for 8 bits of overcooked tough BBQ lamb and some rice. Rip off. Poor service and overdone food. Would not recommend.

food was okay. not much of a choice. didnt seem like traditional turkish food tho. atmosphere was okay. very small restraunt would not eat here if it was busy

Amazing tasty food. So fresh and full of flavour. Lovely staff and service was on point. Anyone looking for authentic Turkish then this is the place!

Fantastic array of food on offer we sampled a air few on saturday afternoon all delicious, authentic looking surroundings appropriate background music befitting the restaurant, and also a view of chef on the charcoal cooking area. Great and attentive service which my husband and I headed after watching the rugby

Fantastic meal in a lively restaurant with great staff, what more could you want? Made to feel really welcome and we will be back again.

Having already booked online and confirmed the reservation by telephone we were surprised to get to the restaurant and not have a table waiting for us. We had to stand by the door of the small restaurant for ten minutes waiting for a party to leave before we were seated. Our starters took fifty minutes to come out, followed by the mains which took a further half an hour. Three out of four of us were served, while we were still waiting for the final main to be plated up. The final dish was served with no sides with the waiter informing us "we've had a busy night so we've run out of rice. Will chips be okay for you?" Why weren't we told this before we ordered? Or before the dishes were even served? This also explained by the side of rice on three of our dishes was so small. Very poor service by what can only be described as a one man show. Very disappointing as the food we did manage to eat seemed okay. Our final bill wasn't even reduced despite us not receiving what we had ordered. Really quite surprised that this restaurant is rated so highly online.

Food very good but service was not up to scratch. The one waiter who was working was very good but he had to cover all the tables and it was just too much, however we will go back again.

Chicken and lamb were okay. The lamb skewer was slightly overlooked. Poor quality hummus. Service was a bit slow. Don't order calamari as it is frozen and it could pass for an onion ring! When I ordered more bread, suspiciously there were pieces of chicken stuff underneath making it appear that this bread was taken off another persons plate. Not very authentic food and not good value for money at all.

Food was delicious and freshly made. Would definitely recommend. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere and the staff was very pleasant. The portions are adequate. Would definitely eat there again.

Fantastic experience and something a little different and off the beaten tourist track. Delicious Turkish food made with passion and served with a smile. Prices reasonable. Cant fault the place.

Superb service from all the staff and fabulous food will definitely be visiting again soon. Situated on a corner it's quite possible to pass without a second glance but it's advisable to book in advance just in case it's busy as it's well worth it cost is average not cheap but not expensive.

Attentive staff. Very welcoming. Good choice on menu with further special menu. Food was tasty. Bought extra dishes of vegetables as I'm eating low carb diet. Very accomodating. Thank you

Totally excellent food and attentive staff - recommend this whole heartedly - great food great price- recommend the mixed grill and the grilled fish- and Efes as well

This is not fine dining but having said that the food was excellent and great value for money. The staff were very friendly and service efficient. We were going to an event later at the Usher Hall and I would recommend Rodi to anyone wanting to have quick tasty meal before going on there.
