Good food, excellent service and lovely environment. This was our second visit here after being brought here for lunch earlier in the year; we really enjoyed the first time and we were not disappointed on the second. There is nothing on the menu that I...wouldn’t want to try……so I will just have to return more times to try the rest. The food is so tasty, the staff are very accommodating – one of our party was late but there were no complaints from the staff whilst we waited for them, drinking our own wine; the staff even brought us an ice bucket and didn’t charge corkage. The ambience is lovely and, being quite small, means you can enjoy conversations while you eat the excellent fare, without having to shout across the table. We will be back!More

Would probably not stumble across this restaurant as in a basement in a mostly residential area. Was easy enough to find though when looking for some Iranian food. Downside was unlicensed but "feel free to nip round the corner for some wine"....round the corner was...a USave corner shop a brisk ten minute walk away. We shared a small mazeh platter which would have been sufficient for four folk. I opted for the Tapsi (a favourite vegetarian dish, mexed vegetables of aubergine, mixed pepper, onion, slice potatoes, salery cooked in a special tomato sauce served with saffron rice) and wasn't disappointed....tasty, moreish and filling. Staff were polite and managed to fit us in for 90 minutes before they needed the table back....would say 90 minutes is needed to do justice to two courses.More

We come here regularly. We have been introducing friends and family to Toranj for a while now and every single one of them loves it. The food is exceptional, the staff are lovely. I would recommend anyone who likes Persian food to come and try...Toranj while in Edinburgh.More

What a fantastic place. The food and ambience is excellent. We were a party of 8 ladies and because of our numbers the owner offered to open early for us on a Friday afternoon We arrived to a very friendly welcome and water for the...table was promptly served. One of our party has celiac so she'd phoned before we booked to make sure they could deal with her dietary needs - they confirmed that they could and the only thing she wouldn't be able to eat was the nan. Only 1 ordered a starter and she enjoyed it. For mains we had various dishes across the menu and everyone really enjoyed their meal. I specifically don't eat green salad stuff so asked if I could just get some tomato and onion with my kebab - this was done without any problem. I actually think they would do anything to ensure that their customers were happy. A few of our party had dessert and again everyone enjoyed it I'd thoroughly recommend this restaurant. With the BYOB policy it is a very reasonably priced meal out, in lovely surroundings with great staff. I'll definitely be backMore

Return visit, just as good as the last time. The food is excellent but what makes this place stand out is the service. Nothing is too much trouble. We brought our own wine and an ice bucket was immediately produced. Staff were patient and informative...while we deliberated over food choice and our meals were plentiful and delicious. Just wish we lived closer to be able to visit more often.More

Friendly staff, amazing food. Good for meat eaters and vegetarians. Treat yourselves. Worth the short walk from the city centre and very near the Playhouse.

Just came in with my girlfriend looking for baklava! The host managed to squeeze us in even though the kitchen was about to close. Everyone was very friendly and prompt. We will definitely be back soon for a full meal! Thanks again Toranj Team!

Absolutely delicious. We had the hummus to start and the mixed kebab to share - it was so good. Really quick and friendly service and we were able to bring our own bottle of wine. Definitely would come again if we came back to Edinburgh!

Fantastic little Middle Eastern restaurant just off the city centre. Great food - there were four of us and we had the stews, kebabs and sea bass. All delicious! Service was very good given the the place was busy on a Monday night and Antonio...was very helpful and friendly. It’s a byob which helps keep the cost down although, to be fair, it isn’t an especially expensive restaurant anyway. Word of warning…when we were there they had to turn away people so, if you want to try authentic Middle Eastern food, I’d recommend booking in advance.More

Excellent food in a tucked away, charming little restaurant (descend the stairs when you see the sign). My family had the koubideh, the ghormesabzi, and the grilled chicken chengeh, along with the hummus and the salade Shirazi. We loved it all, we just wished they...would have kept the delicious bread coming. In the US we’re often used to the bread being inclusive, and like chips in a Tex Mex restaurant, it seems to keep coming at no extra charge. That said, the prices were very reasonable and I would highly recommend this place.More

As frequent visitors to Edinburgh, we always love middle Eastern cuisine especially if it is a BYO. We found this place on Google on the long drive to Scotland. We made the long walk across town and were greeted by the lovely and friendly Antonio...who is an excellent front of house presence. We had the grilled lamb chops and the chicken / lamb kebab. The food was absolutely amazing and delicious. The portion sizes were brilliant and we couldn't finish all the food. Altogether a wonderful experience and a quality restaurant. Thank you.More
