Eat & Drink Southside

Kebab Mahal

Studenty Southside is a warren of cheap eating. Even the local mosque opened the doors to its kitchen – serving cheap curries under canvas before opening the budget Mosque Kitchen restaurant nearby. On the opposite side of the square, Kebab Mahal is another great option in the same vein.

The drinking scene isn't quite so good, though The Peartree pub stands out for its excellent beer garden. There's a similarly lively vibe in the large courtyard at Summerhall.
