Rodi Turkish Mediterranean Restaurant (West End)

• The layout of tables is a little strange
• Pieces of spiced sucuk sausage was simply presented
• The main course was a notch or two better
• The chicken and lamb pieces were served in tomato sauce
• The first of these was burnt shallots in an intense dressing
• I strongly suspect was pomegranate based
• The other accompaniments were all strong dishes
• Things were rounded out with outstandingly good homemade baclava and Turkish tea
• M confident they will become a firm favourite with Edinburgh diners
• In Haringey Street there are lots of Turkish restaurants
• So I cannot stress enough that Rodi Turkish Mediterranean Restaurant (West End) is just rubbish
• We went there with a group of friends and from the total price of 200£
• They just feed you mostly with chicken which is not a Turkish typical meat after all
• ) and visit Haringey which is a paradise for Turkish cuisine and you would pay for the meal we ordered just 150£
• Not even mention GREED with no serving normal black tea
• More and more Turkish restaurants are opening in Edinburgh
• I thought it was about time I gave it a go
• We stumbled upon Rodi when we were going to the EICC for a Fringe show and I'm very glad we did
• The staff are very friendly and the food is very well cooked
• The meats each had their own flavour but the lamb chops were deliciously salty and the chilli and garlic sauces were great with the rice
• The restaurant is a bit small yet comfortable
• Gave you a feeling that you are eating at a Turkish restaurant in Turkey itself
• Hands down this is the most delicious Turkish food i ever tasted in my life
• The tenderness of the meat and freshness of the salad combine with special sauce make you grateful that you are alive to taste the food
• T tasty enough and a lot of it is just grilled to dry
• The service is a whole other matter though
