Lucky Star

Lucky Star is a Chinese takeaway on Balgreen Road in Saughton, serving the residential streets between Gorgie and Corstorphine on a road that sees less competition than the busier Gorgie Road strip to the north. The menu follows a standard British-Chinese format: sweet and sour, duck dishes, curry and rice combinations — the staples that have kept neighbourhood chippers like this in business for decades. Reviews are divided: some regulars praise the freshly cooked food and generous portions, while others have noted that consistency can vary and quality has dipped at times. The kitchen is closed on Mondays and runs Tuesday to Sunday from late afternoon. Collection and delivery are both available, with Deliveroo delivery reaching across west Edinburgh and into Corstorphine and Longstone. The shop also takes direct phone orders.
