    When I guzzled down a variety meal in here wearing a shirt and tie, the looks I got suggested that KFC is not a venue usually accustomed to formally dressed, business focused clientele. Indeed, while McDonalds does to some extent, have a tinge of universal eppeal, KFC seems happy being the lowest of the low. There's something tremendous about ravenously devouring the remains of these poor, water-injected souls, but the fact that afterwards you'll inevitably feel sick at the thought of a KFC for a good few weeks afterwards sums up the darker side of the food. It's greasy, terrible for you, and if the batter is even the slightest bit soggy, utterly disgusting. A bit of a batter based lottery then, and the chips are foul, but on a good day, a carnivorous delight.

    Currently closed for refurbishment, this KFC holds a special place in my heart. When my boyfriend and I first started dating, we would go out and get very drunk and spend the next day hungover in bed. Around 8 o'clock we would drag ourselves out of bed and go here for a bucket. We would take said bucket home and set up an ironing board as a table and eat off the ironing board while watching a movie. This bucket was meant for 4 people, yet we always managed to polish it off. Isn't that romantic? Did you know that there are three types of gravy at KFC? It depends what the manager chooses to sell. The first is runny, the second is medium and the third thick. This KFC does the best gravy in Edinburgh and I think goes with the third option. Mmm the third option. KFC isn't complete without it's heavenly gravy, in fact the gravy is what makes the food that tiny bit more bearable because it is actually kind of gross. One time I saw a pregnant girl smoking here. That sums up the clientele, but you already knew that.

    This KFC has recently been refurbished and as such is nice, new and shiny. I don't eat KFC's too often but now and again I get the overwhelming urge to devour a family sized bucket, to myself. There's nothing more satisfying than a meal from KFC with the chicken wings, chunky chips and a side order of beans too. If I'm not feeling particularly peckish I'll just go for one of their £1.99 boxes or some popcorn chicken which is amazing. In fact, I could go for some just now.

    KFC always offers a tasty meal with quick service no materr what time you fancy it. The prolem, however, is that it's a complete rip off. For example, their Zinger meals cost about £6 and all you got was a tiny burger, some greasy chicken things, some chips and a small drink. You could argue that ypour paying for quaity, but this is definitely not the case. I invariably feel like gash after one of their meals. Further, my hands seem to feel greasy for hours after handling their chicken. Nonetheless, it's still tasty food and their popcorn chicken is undeniably amazing. Their Bargain Buckets aren't necessarily a bargain, but they're definitely tasty and filling. In comparison to other fast food restaurants, KFC might have the best chicken on offer but it comes at a price.

The theme inside was kinda surprising. It had a lot of movie and tv references, the most prominent being Star Wars. We also watched someone try their heat challenge. I'll just say I felt bad for the guy. We asked the waitress afterwards and she said not many pass. Most fail after 2-3 wings. Their normal heat selection goes from 1-8, but their heat challenge goes up to 11. For our food, I tried the Margarita wings, located in their "boozy" section. I really enjoyed these as they had a lot of flavor. I also got a side of mac and cheese, and chose chipuffalo sauce - a combo of chipotle and buffalo - it added a great flavor to the mac and cheese with just the right amoumt of heat. The other wings I tried were the Bit of French, which is garlic pepper flavored. It was actually really bland. I ended up dipping them into the remaining chipuffalo sauce. The restaurant is in a lot of stone, so you get almost no cell service. Just an FYI.

    Zuhus is a halal establishment which serves mainly chicken dishes. A lot of yelp reviews usually…read morenever reveal if an establishment is halal or not. I think it is important for us to include in the review if the establishment is halal as we also have a lot of Muslim Yelpers and friends who would love to know that and we can help them in selecting restaurant. Zuhus has a menu very much like Nando's. Or shall I say 'exactly' like Nando's. It's basically mainly peri peri based chicken, burgers and wraps. I came here twice but only had the peri peri chicken. The guy who served me was very accommodating. I ordered half a chicken but with 2 quarter chicken legs and he gave it to me. The taste of he chicken was up to scratch and the meat itself was juicy and tender. The size of the chicken I believe is slightly bigger than what Nando's is serving, which is of course a value for money. They have won my points on all aspects on value, taste and portion. However, they have lost my point on creativity and originality. This place is an exact replica of Nando's. From the menu, sauce and the bottle for the sauce (tall rectangular bottle). Why can't they come up with something more original? I would still recommend people to come here and definitely be back again myself.

    This place seemed like a fairly new restaurant. Located conveniently on Southbridge near a popular…read morearea. The chicken was flavorful both the peri peri shredded chicken and the chicken wings. If wanted, they also provide extra sauce that you can serve yourself.

    While offering a wide range of fast food besides their speciality chicken, Eshas leaves a little…read morebit to be desired... Personally, I would advise caution when venturing away from the chicken, as you are not assured of what you may actually get. Upon ordering a fish supper, I was provided with a thin morsel reminiscent with what I expect to find dished out during school dinners or to be found in the frozen section of Farmfoods. To rub salt into the wound, the chips were very thin and undercooked. Perhaps I am being unfair given the price range. Eshas offers a number of deals, presented on their front window, including at one point a 10 inch margarita pizza for £1.99! (although I believe this deal has since ceased). Overall, this place is perfect for the hungry student venturing back from a booze up seeking something with a high grease content, but if your seeking something with a bit more quality to constitute as an actual meal, it may be best to look elsewhere.

    Esha's is not the best takeaway shop I have expereinced in Edinburgh, thats for sure…read more Esha's is situated in the centre of the busy and bustling Nicolson Street, just a short walk from the University and so it is a handy place for students to pop into to buy their dinner on their home from classes, however, Esha's is not the best takeaway shop on Nicolson street to go into. Esha's menu is incredibly diverse, offering dishes such as pizzas, burgers, curries and baked potatoes. I came to Esha's for dinner several months ago with a friend to buy a pizza and we had the ham and mushroom which was absolutely nothing to rave about. The mushrooms were really soft and appeared to have dissolved into the topping mixture, and the pizza base was quite soggy and burnt in places - not nice. My friend also ordered a portion of chips which were a far cry from the traditional Scottish chips we were expecting - these looked as though they had come from a frozen packet, and not a good one at that. The prices are very reasonable and a 15% student discount is available. You are able to order your meals online at Esha's website and they also offer a home delivery service which is convenient. The staff are friendly, and perhaps some of their other dishes are tastier than the pizza which I had.

    It's a PIZZA HUT! They make pizza here. It is delicious. It is (not actually) a hut…read more Coming from the deep south in the States, Pizza Hut brings up a strange mixture of feelings: mild embarrassment being the first and indigestion being the last. Upon entering most Pizza Huts you will be greeted with something that resembles a post-war restaurant that was forgotten in a bunker mid-'80s. The food, while edible, is so greasy you could swim in it--this is not a meal you will sit back afterward with a satisfied smile. This is the sort of food that will have you doing a furtive walk of shame out the door after. I've known since entering the UK that American pizza chains are a horse of a different color. But Pizza Hut? Psht, no way even the UK could set PIZZA HUT to rights! Behold my surprise when hubs and I decided to take the plunge and have a quick pizza one night. We were greeted by a whole host of pleasant young lads and lasses, the place was brightly lit and clean as a whistle, and we in no short order had requested our veggie pizza and were reaping the fruits of labor from the salad bar (I forgot how much I love salad bars, yessss). We then got a chance to fiddle with the soda machine, which allows you to mix and match and even add spurts of flavor--another thing I forgot I enjoyed, where they're a dime a dozen back home. But dat pizza tho. IT WAS DELICIOUS. Perfect levels of crispy but soft crust with goat's cheese and vegetable toppings--needless to say we devoured every bite, no questions asked, and left happy customers. Extra bonus: the price! Psht, y'all know pizza hut be cheap as chips. So go forth my fellow Edinburghers. Go forth and eat delicious pizza and do not be ashamed, for it is good.

    The Pizza Huts in the UK are still restaurants.. unlike the states. This place was packed as there…read morehad been a rugby match that night and we had to wait about 30 minutes for a table and service which wasn't bad. Now since the place is like a restaurant, the prices are also like a restaurant. You cant get away with two large pizza's for $25. Our total for two (medium? large? who knows, they are one size) pizzas was $60. They do give you a place for the salad table- I say table because it was not big enough to be considered a salad bar... but since Europeans don't believe in ranch, it was a moot point. Pizza itself was good, and these Americans were happy!
