Hanedan

Excellent little restaurant tucked away on the South Side but with lots to offer. The food, largely cooked on a char grill, is simple but beautifully done. Everything I've tried here - the sardines, mixed grill, moussaka and fabulous baklava - comes highly recommended. It's rustic, intimate, fun and great value for money....everything a neighbourhood eatery should be. Little wonder it's always brimming with a cheery and contended clientele. Casual Edinburgh eating at its very best.

Really don't agree (again!) with The List's view that Handean needs to lose a table or 2; or indeed with the concept of having to include a minus point about every restaurant - what a negative approach; the previousl List reviewer of this restauarnat made a misinformed criticism in the "negative" about use of dried herbs by the chef when in fact dried mint and oregano are an integral and a valid part of Turkish/Green cuisine.
In fact, the interior of this restaurant is a beautiful use of space - in my opinion one of the most attractive reatuarants in Edinburgh - and you never feel at all hemmed in even when it is busy.
And the food is just superb!

We've eaten in Hanedan a number of times in the past few years, and it is consistently superb. The atmosphere is plesantly intimate and the staff are very friendly, even coming to get you from the pub opposite when there is a table free. The starters are good, particularly the halloumi, but the real stars are the kebabs, perfectly cooked front of house on an open barbeque. My favourite Edinburgh restaurant.
