Original Mosque Kitchen

Home-cooked Pakistani food (l,d; $)

Though there're plenty of quick and cheap options in Edinburgh's studenty Southside, none quite rivals the Mosque kitchen if you're short on time or money or both.

The entrance is a bit hidden down an alley off West Nicolson Street.

Seating is outdoors and under plastic roofing, but the food is superb enough to bring people from all walks of life here in droves.

For around £5 you get a plate of curry, veg, lamb and rice or nan doled out on disposable plates in the kitchen at the back of Edinburgh's central mosque.

If skewered kebabs are on, don't miss these delicious morsels.

This place is so good, it's spawned an interloper on a Nicholson Square, calling itself the Mosque Kitchen (hence this one renaming itself the "Original"). The copy is a fairly average restaurant; nothing special.
