Doubt its the only one in scotland tbf, but i cant fathom gambling away an entire restaraunt so casually. The Ruby? That's certainly been the rumour for many years. As long as they don't change the dragon picture at the top of the stairs then I don't mind. It's been a land mark painting there since at least the late 70s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think thats the one yeah, down on the waterfront. Tbf thinking on it actually the name may well not have changed just the owners, theres one across from the central station that i might have been getting it mixed up with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawford Bridge Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Uncle's on George IV Bridge is the worst take away in central Edinburgh. Undercooked frozen chips, fish like cardboard and donner meat with those wee white hard bits in it. Also overpriced, avoid at all costs. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I got a white pudding supper twice in one night from pizza crolla once. I was mortal and just missed my train after supper #1 and with 90 minutes to kill I had a few pints in Dows and then decided I fancied another. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Pizza Crolla seems to be entirely predicated towards the alcoholically-disadvantaged heading towards Queen St. I've got a sneaky suspicion however that you might have been in more of a nick than you realised - white pudding isn't really a thing in Glasgow chippies, so there's a good chance you had two haggises 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that you’ve tried every takeaway in central Edinburgh. Accordingly your claim that this place is the worst must be viewed as the teenage schoolgirl-esque exaggeration of a drama queen and therefore disregarded. If however, you edit your post by , for instance , adding the words “that I’ve had” at the end of the first sentence then what’s left of your credibility may just about be salvaged and we can all move on from this whole sorry episode. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_14 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Pizza paradise in the middle of Edinburgh is a laugh. Only food place open past 3am as far as I know. Pissed up revellers sitting down for a meal at 5am is megalolz. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pizza Crolla on Buchanan Street was genuinely decent although they price gouged like f**k in previous years. The Hope Street branch was sold off I think to a different franchise owner who took it further down the Three in One route - which is a handy red flag for 'probably shite takeaway' anywhere. Who would have predicted in the 1970s that Glasgow Central would have more Japanese izakaya style joints (three within spitting distance on Bothwell/Hope Street alone) than chip shops though. A true cultural revolution. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic Joe Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Is there such a thing as a decent fish supper in Glasgow City centre? They don't even seem to have grasped the concept of frying to order. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do fry to order, problem is you need to order on a wednesday and pick it up 2 days later after its been stewing in the fry sauna (?) for 48 hours to soften it up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
