Edinburgh's Mediterranean and Middle Eastern restaurants cover an unusually broad table. The city's range moves from a polished Levantine grill on George Street to a small Cretan taverna in Leith, neighbourhood Greek sharing rooms, a Turkish stone-oven bakery and charcoal restaurants where bread, dips and carefully cooked meat do most of the talking. Across those kitchens, vegetables, grains and pulses gain depth from olive oil, citrus and spice.
Choosing between them starts with the occasion. BABA handles a lively date or central celebration, while Spitaki and Kafeneion To Steki reward an unhurried table of shared plates. Ola Kala, Flatbread and Kuzina suit a quicker meal. Meze Meze and Kezban work for groups with mixed preferences, and Pera places the charcoal grill at the centre. Fava offers one of the broadest Greek menus near Haymarket, although its current feedback is more variable.
Menus change at different speeds. Kafeneion describes its online menu as a sample shaped by daily specials, BABA adjusts seasonal dishes, and smaller kitchens can sell through individual items. Treat named dishes as examples of each restaurant's current style rather than promises of a particular plate. Compare current flavours, atmosphere, dietary range and pace, and confirm allergy requirements directly when booking.
BABA
BABA is an ambitious all-round dining room. The George Street restaurant filters Levantine flavours through a contemporary Edinburgh kitchen, matching grilled pita and dips with Scottish produce, carefully spiced vegetables and a serious charcoal section. Its low-lit, colourful room and cocktail bar create more energy than a traditional taverna. The menu is built for sharing, but it feels composed rather than sprawling: a table can move from small snacks to mezze and finish with one or two larger dishes from the grill.
The current menu sets out its character through hummus with burnt harissa butter and raisins, BABA ganoush with pomegranate and mint, muhammara with walnuts, labneh with asparagus, and grilled mussels in chraime. Haggis merguez brings the restaurant's Scottish-Levantine idea into one bite, while larger fish, meat and vegetable dishes complete the meal. Recent diners still praise the layers of spice and strong vegetarian choice, although some report uneven pacing, unavailable fish and value concerns. Tell the server if the table must finish by a fixed time.

Spitaki Greek Taverna
Spitaki is a neighbourhood Greek taverna where the pleasure comes from covering the table and letting dishes arrive in their own rhythm. The East Claremont Street room is informal and warm, with a menu compact enough to keep the kitchen focused. Current detailed feedback shows remarkable agreement about freshness, consistency and generous hospitality across several years. It is a strong choice for friends who want to share, a birthday without formality or diners interested in Greek wine as much as familiar dips and grilled meat.
Start with warm pita, tzatziki or feta dip, then add Greek salad, cheese saganaki and a seafood plate before choosing souvlaki, lamb or another grill. Charred octopus and prawn saganaki recur in current food-specific praise, while specials can provide the most seasonal order. Meat cooked individually may arrive later than the cold mezze, so treat the sequence as part of the format and avoid ordering every dish at once if timing matters. Spitaki suits an unhurried evening: ask the team to balance vegetables, seafood and meat rather than building a table made entirely of rich fried plates.

Kafeneion To Steki
Kafeneion To Steki is the focused Cretan option. It distinguishes its cooking from a generic pan-Greek menu, leaning on olive oil, vegetables, pulses, herbs, seafood and sharing plates that follow the kitchen rather than a formal course structure. The compact Coburg Street room has the intimacy of a local café-taverna, and a thoughtful Greek wine list reinforces the regional identity. Personal service and vividly seasoned food define the experience, with the changing choice a strength for curious diners and a limitation for anyone seeking a specific classic.
The present sample includes handmade bread, spicy feta dip, crushed yellow split peas with capers, marinated anchovies, beetroot with cheeses and walnuts, and feta wrapped in filo with sesame and honey. Slow-cooked octopus is finished on the grill, while lamb chops, cured pork and changing Sunday platters move the meal towards the fire. Because the menu changes regularly and dishes arrive when ready, ask what combination is working best that day. Kafeneion is ideal for a small group willing to share widely, explore Cretan wine and accept that the most interesting order may not match last week's list.

Ola Kala Greek Grill & Deli
Ola Kala is a casual specialist for Greek grill food near Haymarket. Its Morrison Street room combines a deli-counter energy with enough seating for a relaxed lunch or straightforward dinner, and the long-running restaurant has built a loyal following. The menu is broad, but its identity is clearest in meat shaved or lifted from the grill, wrapped in pita or served as a plate with salad, potatoes and sauce. Service is brisker and the setting less ceremonial than a full taverna meal.
Pork or chicken gyros, souvlaki, mixed grill and halloumi provide the main decisions. A wrap makes sense for one hungry diner, while a platter lets two people compare meat, bread, tzatziki and vegetables. Greek salad and a vegetable side keep a grill-heavy order lively; baklava or another syrup pastry is a natural finish. Current feedback strongly supports flavour and friendly service, though the compact room and takeaway traffic can make peak periods busy. Choose Ola Kala for a generous lunch, an informal pre-event meal or the point where quick service and recognisable Greek cooking matter equally.
Address: 202 Morrison Street, Edinburgh EH3 8EA, United Kingdom

Traditional Greek Spirit
Unique, flavoursome, pure drinks that have been around for thousands of years. Tsipouro, a liquor produced only in Greece, is similar to Italian grappa. Ouzo the most famous Greek liquor, tastes like anise. After distilling, anise and other flavorings like fennel, clove, or cinnamon, are added. Ouzo is flavorful but very strong. Retsina is a wine unique to Greece. It is white wine with added pine resin flavour!:) It is an odd combination for those not used to it, but it is truly unique and flavourful.
Flatbread Turkish Bakery House
Flatbread Turkish Bakery House centres its appeal on dough rather than a conventional dinner-room format. The Haymarket bakery uses a stone oven for pide, lahmacun, börek and other pastries, aiming for crisp edges, a soft interior and the aroma of freshly baked bread. It opens the category towards breakfast and daytime eating: simit, menemen, eggs with sucuk and Turkish tea can be as relevant as an evening flatbread. Current diners repeatedly identify the bread itself as the reason to return.
Pide is the centrepiece, with toppings that can move from cheese and vegetables to spiced meat; lahmacun offers a thinner round base with minced beef, herbs and vegetables. Börek and boyoz suit a smaller breakfast, while a larger table can share different breads and compare textures straight from the oven. Finish with pistachio baklava and kaymak when available, or keep the visit simple with Turkish coffee. Flatbread works for breakfast, a family brunch, lunch before a train or anyone who cares more about baking than polished service. Eat oven dishes promptly, while the contrast between crisp surface and tender crumb is strongest.

Meze Meze Edinburgh
Meze Meze offers the broadest cross-regional sharing menu in the city centre. Its Rose Street kitchen brings together Turkish, Greek and wider Middle Eastern dishes, making it useful when a group wants hummus and grilled meat but also substantial vegetarian choice, seafood or a slow-cooked special. The small, warm room often feels busy, and current diners frequently recommend booking. It lacks the narrow regional identity of Kafeneion, yet compensates with range and a format that makes mixed preferences easy to manage.
Hummus, baba ganoush, tzatziki and börek establish the mezze side, while falafel, sucuk, goat's cheese and grilled vegetables add contrasting textures. Lamb shank or another daily special can anchor the table, but portion sizes vary and some current guests question value when too many larger plates are ordered. Begin with four or five dishes for a group, pause, then add only what the table needs. Meze Meze suits a central lunch, a mixed vegetarian and meat-eating party, or diners who want a generous introduction to several traditions without committing to one narrow style.

Kezban Mediterranean Restaurant
Kezban is a full-service Leith restaurant that works best when the table combines mezze with the charcoal grill. The Commercial Street room is comfortable enough for a family dinner or celebration, while the menu remains rooted in familiar eastern Mediterranean building blocks: warm bread, smoky aubergine, yoghurt, herbs, grilled vegetables and marinated meat. Recent diners repeatedly praise generous portions and personal service, with the homemade bread often singled out before they even reach the grill.
A cold mezze selection creates contrast before lamb kebab, chicken, mixed grill or a fish dish from the current menu. Spread the order across dips, salad and one hot vegetable plate so that smoke and richness do not dominate every bite. Künefe or baklava provides a sweet finish, particularly with tea. Kezban suits a group willing to pass plates, a leisurely dinner after time on the Shore, or diners who want substantial charcoal cooking in a welcoming room. Ask for guidance on quantity: the sharing plates can turn a cautious starter order into a full meal.
Address: 9–10 Commercial Street, Leith, Edinburgh EH6 6JA, United Kingdom

Pera Turkish Mangal & Meze Bar
Pera is the smaller, more intimate Turkish mangal choice. Its Elm Row kitchen prepares hot and cold mezze alongside meat cooked over charcoal, and the official menu makes clear that food is cooked fresh rather than timed like fast service. The result is best for an evening without a tight deadline. Current diners praise the smoke, tenderness and care in the cooking, particularly on mixed platters, while a smaller group describes brusque hospitality. The room's BYOB format is useful for diners who prefer to choose their own bottle.
Fresh bubble bread and dips should begin the meal. Pistachio köfte brings nuttiness to the grill, while lamb şiş, chicken, ribs and a mixed mangal platter show the charcoal most clearly. Vegetable options such as lentil köfte, stuffed aubergine or gözleme prevent the meal becoming a procession of meat; künefe finishes with crisp pastry and melted cheese. Pera suits a couple or small group who want Turkish food cooked to order and do not mind a measured pace. Tell the team if time is limited, and confirm current BYOB conditions when reserving because operating details can change.

Fava Restaurant – Greek Kitchen
Fava is the broad Greek restaurant for diners who want more than street food. The Morrison Street menu spans small plates, seafood, slow-cooked meat, salads, grills and meat-free dishes, and the relaxed room sits conveniently near Haymarket. Ingredients imported from Greece meet fresh produce from local suppliers, giving the kitchen the range to handle a family table with different priorities. Current feedback is positive overall but uneven: strong food and service reports sit beside complaints about small main portions, abrupt handling and one serious recent quality allegation.
Build the best meal from the mezze: fava dip, fried courgette, dolmadakia, prawn saganaki and grilled octopus offer far more contrast than identical mains. Larger choices can include lamb kleftiko, moussaka, seafood kritharaki, sea bream and mixed grill, while orange cake or baklava completes the Greek sequence. Ask about the portion format before deciding whether a dish is for one or for sharing, and raise any concern promptly. Fava suits a group seeking choice and a central Greek dinner, particularly when the table orders across vegetables, seafood and meat rather than depending on one large plate.

Kuzina Greek Street Food
Kuzina is a newer Dalry restaurant at 84 Dalry Road that turns Greek street food into a friendly sit-down meal. Early diners have responded enthusiastically to its gyros, grills and generous portions, while dips, seafood and vegetarian platters provide enough breadth for a mixed table. The atmosphere is bright and casual, making Kuzina particularly useful before an event or for a group that wants substantial food without a formal evening.
A gyro wrap is the direct option, while chicken skewers, grilled prawns or a mixed grill turn the visit into a longer meal. The green platter combines falafel, fried courgette, halloumi, salad, aubergine dip, hummus and pita, giving vegetarians a complete order rather than a collection of side dishes. Current diners also praise spicy feta, tzatziki and generous portions. Kuzina suits friends, families and hungry travellers around Haymarket. Its upbeat room, focused grill menu and generous portions make it a promising newer casual choice for the area.

Final Thoughts
The strongest restaurant depends on the kind of Mediterranean meal you want. BABA leads for a creative central dinner, while Spitaki and Kafeneion To Steki offer the most convincing taverna experiences. Ola Kala and Kuzina handle casual Greek grills, Flatbread makes the oven and bakery the reason to visit, and Meze Meze is the easiest broad menu for a mixed group. Kezban and Pera are the charcoal choices, while Fava provides the widest Greek range near Haymarket with more variable current feedback.
Share enough dishes to create contrast, but add them in stages so bread, fried food and grilled meat do not overwhelm fresher plates. Ask what has been cooked or baked that day, confirm how larger dishes are portioned, and tell the restaurant about allergies before ordering. Small rooms and kitchens working over live fire need time, particularly at weekends. With the pace and format matched to the occasion, an Edinburgh meal can move from warm bread and vivid dips through seafood, vegetables and charcoal smoke to coffee and syrup-soaked pastry.
