does anybody know of any restaurants open christmas day near the marriott hotel on glasgow rd.thanks

There are practically no restaurants near that hotel, it is on the main road out to the airport and not near any shops/pubs/ restaurants. The nearest area would be Corstorphine where you might find a Chinese open?
The Toby Carvery at St Johns Road, Corstorphine will be open Xmas Day.

Not "near", but,

Might be still available if you can drive there and are prepared to pay the cost of expecting service on Christmas Day.
Beyond the airport and located on an old main route into Edinburgh and, yes, we have stayed and eaten there.
A useful business stopover for Edinburgh.
Very friendly staff.
Following the Mitchells and Butlers choice of 2 in Edinburgh environs, as above at Corstorphine, possibly also,
I'd consider heading into town, where there will be a MUCH better choice. I realise this is probably not what you want to hear.
