But check opening times: chef-proprietor Gursel Bahar is very much his own man and locals are slightly wary of unpredictable closures.
If you turn up on spec and it’s full, the charming Mr Bahar will suggest you retire to the nearby Cask and Barrel until a table is free, and he may well come and fetch you when it is.

Lamb and chicken cooked carefully over charcoal are the main draw in this compact Turkish restaurant on West Preston Street.
Diners can start their meal with a wide variety of hot or cold meze and finish with raki or Turkish apple tea.
Helpfully, the menu features useful Turkish phrases such as ‘May I borrow your bicycle pump’ and ‘I smoke a pack a day’.

Home-cooked Turkish fare in a cute, cosy restaurant with a homely feel and a solid reputation Long wooden tables are shoehorned together in this tiny, excellent Turkish restaurant in the southside, a few doors down from the Cask and Barrel pub.
In fact the name of the pub’s worth remembering, as the chef, Gursel Bahar, has been known to send customers up there to kill time with a pint while he turns a table, then comes up the road to fetch them.
Bahar and his Scottish wife moved up to Edinburgh from London a decade ago, and have been running Hanedan ever since.
It’s built up a solid reputation, particularly amongst the neighbours in the area who have become its most loyal regulars, and it tends to be full when it’s open - although when exactly the opening hours are can depend on Bahar (he’s been known to close unexpectedly, so a phone call in advance might be a good idea).
The cold and hot mezze are a good place to start, with Turkish cannellini beans and red onion (piyaz), hummus, spicy garlic sausage, melon and feta or hot squid and walnut salad sitting alongside the odd Scottish finger food, including Orkney herrings.

The chef here is truly a master of the culinary arts and is so welcoming and friendly to his customers - not something i've experienced before!
There is a good choice of dishes, all prepared in full view of the customers so that is reassuring too.
