robbo1874 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 As title. My gf fancies this. Looks good to me but thought I'd get some opinions from here. Experiences and or alternatives as can't say I've tried many. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auld Reekin' Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Hanam's is good: friendly owner & staff, good, interesting, and tasty food, and all the alcohol-free wine you could ever want. (Luckily, it's also b.y.o.b.!) They do both Kurdish and Iranian style dishes - both are good - and the bread there is fantastic. Hanedan in West Preston St. is also good - again a friendly wee place. Haven't been to either for a while, mind you, but when I was eating-out more regularly Hanam's was a favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the replies. You won't be disappointed. I've been itching to go back for ages. If I remember right we had four of the mezi dishes and a lamb iskender shared between two of us and it was plenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel Camazzola Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Pomegranate on Leith Walk is excellent and may even be run by the same family as Hanam's. It's Middle Eastern 'street food' and BYOB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helzibob Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Hanams is fantastic. They also charge no corkage for BYOB. I go a few times a year and I've never been disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BM1874 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Go for Nawroz. Pomegranate and hanams owned by same folk. Might come across as friendly but a complete scumbag. From personal experience im stating this as well (and have on here previously) Would not give the man a penny Dont get me wrong food is great, owner far from.. Nawroz on the other hand is fantastic and brilliant service and owners. Would highly recommend dining there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Sifter Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Hanam's is good. I met a rather interesting waitress there once called Noem?. Italian? Black hair, tattoos? I only ask as its an unusual name! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ribble Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Yeni meze looks good but sadly when I booked online, it showed up twice in their system so they cancelled one which resulted in me getting a cancellation email so we went elsewhere, during dinner at Beruit I got a phone call from Yeni Meze and the girl shouted and screamed down the phone about how busy they were and how I'd taken up a their f****** table! Actually glad as Beruit is fantastic, only reason for booking yeni meze was my g/f wanted to try somewhere different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmiyaRomanova Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I can vouch that new (opened a few months ago) Turkish/Kurdish kid on the block Verdo in Newington is pretty damn fine. Nawroz also good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo1874 Posted November 27, 2015 Author Share Posted November 27, 2015 It was nice enough. Thought some dishes lacked seasoning or a wee bit of zing!! Was still good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
