Best KPortal Reviews
My friend and I came for a cup of coffee and the view after a busy hour at the car boot sale. We weren't expecting anything special, but the coffee was utterly delicious - one of the best I've had in 40 years of living in Edinburgh - the view was brilliant, and the service was charming. We will definitely be back. The food menu looked good, so we'll come for a meal next time.
Had a great meal here today. The authentic eastern Mediterranean cuisine was just what I was needing and the coffee was superb. The staff couldn’t have been more pleasant and helpful. Would definitely recommend to everyone.
Chicken burger was a joke - bun with chicken cutlet. No sauce, no vegetables inside. You could pour yourself ketchup and mayo inside. Fries with no salt. View on the sea is debatable. Do not go here, much better options nearby.
The sea view is the only good thing . However the business have blocked the full stretch of the promenade so you can't walk fully out and enjoy the sea breeze. This business served Greek coffee for near to £4 and the serving of coffee was miserly and heavily watered down. It was poorly made . They also gave me a cold cup when I dared to request that the cup be warmed . The owner sitting with his family ordered a hard working women out to seek further justification from myself . I felt it was interrogatory. When the waiter who looked like he does not like his job had already rectified the issue with no drama. I'm surprised at the poor quality of non indigenous establishment within the food court of Ocean Terminal
dark and dinky . The place has down at luck feel about it. Why did they not turn it into some tea rooms or something which has greater relevance to Scottish or British naval history port history or the docks of Leith ????? . Why the heck does Ben McPherson get huge sums of public money for doing what for Leith exactly ??? If you go to Portsmouth you can find cafes selling Pasties near the port side. A soul less vibe post globalisation vibe seems to permeate . The people who run this centre must be without local pride . The SNP are national scammers and really have no national pride . This is a place of national and historical significance and one for a great potential in terms of visitors to Leith. Yet it left to drift with high prices and a uninviting ambiance .
The food was awful! Moussaka a soggy, tasteless mess and very overpriced! Houmous bland. Pesto wrap was dripping in oil. Service cold and unfriendly. Server came to table to take payment before food had arrived. Can understand why now!
It's a really nice food down there but an owner doesn't give you option to pay by cash ???? and freedome of choice to pay that way !!!! So it's a big NO
I was about to give a tip to their stuff but I also disagree that tips should be taxed for employees when they work for minimum wage !!!
I do support cash payments!!!
No to virtual transfers and additional transfer fees from our businesses !!!
Thank you
Everything was great. The waiters were very friendly and polite. We went to see the royal yacht and we recommend this authentic cafe, just one floor down, to everyone.
AWFUL FOOD! Ordered a bacon and tomato panini; specifically asked for no lettuce due to not being able to eat it and this was reiterated twice by the woman who took my order and myself.
Order arrived as a dry panini, filled with boiling lettuce, tomato and dry fatty bacon; with cold, stale dry chips. I removed the lettuce and tomato, then had a few bites and struggled to swallow those! Thus resorted to eating the bacon in between some flatbread that my partner offered me. She ordered a vegan mezze; the hot food was just reheated and not cooked through properly. This is the worst meal I have ever had out and wouldn't even consider calling it a meal as the food was not made fresh and was inedible!
Alongside it being quite expensive for shop bought rewarmed food, it is £27 (1 panini, 1 mezze, can of coke and a double espresso) I will never see again. Would avoid at all costs and seriously consider heading to Starbucks, Frankie & Bennies or Zizzi's which are a few feet away.
