Gurka was Edinburgh’s first (only?) Nepalese restaurant and we went there for a quick meal before the cinema (it is very close to the Dominion Cinema). We had Nepalese specials – Lamb, Chicken and Vegetables. Names of the dishes were unusual and hard to remember but they were nicely spiced. Basically, it was quite similar to other Indian/BanglaDeshi restaurants – the food was not dramatically different. However, it was perfectly acceptable food, good service and not expensive. About £10 each which included a beer with the meal.

Specialises in cheese, fruit and vegetables and Italian products. Everything is very high quality – we had asparagus today which was absolutely superb and Italian tomatoes with buffalo mozzarella. Quite expensive but top quality stuff.
Sadly, now closed

Lupe Pintos is a great deli in Tollcross. It started off as a Mexican deli but has now a variety of American, Mexican, Spanish and other food and drink. Lots of different kinds of chilis. The chorizos and the guacamole are quite simply the best I’ve ever had in the UK. Well worth a visit for ingredients that are hard to find elsewhere.
