Zen Kitchen

Zen Kitchen on Dundas Street occupies a distinctive niche in Edinburgh's New Town takeaway market: a pan-Asian menu that spans Chinese, Thai, Japanese and Korean dishes on the same order sheet, with each item annotated to show its country of origin, chilli heat and nut content. That kind of transparency is unusual for a takeaway, and it makes the menu genuinely useful for households with mixed preferences or dietary requirements. TripAdvisor reviewers score it 4.0 from 27 reviews — reliable rather than spectacular — with consistent praise for good flavours and portion sizes, and occasional criticism of sauce-heavy dishes. Dundas Street runs through the quieter residential east side of the New Town, a fifteen-minute walk from Princes Street, and Zen Kitchen serves the galleries, flats and offices along this stretch.
