Bowls is a casual Asian inspired eatery at 13 Forrest Road in Edinburgh. With indoor and outdoor seating as well as collection and delivery, it provides a flexible stop for poke, Japanese comfort food, salads and drinks close to the Old Town.
Poke bowls combine rice or another base with vegetables, sauces and a choice of protein, allowing diners to create contrasting combinations. Korean kimchi and teriyaki flavours appear among the popular options, while vegetable rich bowls support lighter and meat free meals.
Japanese curry, udon and rice dishes make the selection broader than chilled poke alone. Teriyaki chicken don supplies a warm rice based main, and the thick, chewy texture of udon offers a different option for diners who prefer noodles.
Salad bowls, healthy sweets, fruit smoothies, vegan drinks, coffee and tea complete the menu. Vegetarian and vegan choices are available, but diners with allergies should confirm current sauces, toppings and shared preparation because soy, sesame, gluten and other allergens may occur.
Address: 13 Forrest Road, Edinburgh EH1 2QH, Scotland
