Merdos Takeaway

Be warned, When they make a mistake on a phone order it’s your fault and not theirs. They will not rectify, replace, or refund.
They will verbally abuse you, even in front of other people. They will then ensure you are left out of pocket with the door slammed in your face. They confuse SALT with SAUCE, they give you the wrong orders, the food is very mediocre, greasy, just like the staff’s customer service.
I had to go to there to try and rectify THEIR mistake, and was badly abused by the so called manager, to such an extent that I have had to inform the police of this. Now I am £9 out of pocket, hungry, and angry that they can treat anyone like that.
Avoid like the plague, unless you like being abused and becoming a victim of THEFT after they take your money and run!!!

I’ve enjoyed the king rib, chicken nuggets and of course chips from this place and they were delicious and served by friendly accomodating staff who understand orders perfectly well!

One of the worst chippys in Edinburgh
I can’t remember when they have gotten an order correct it’s a joke that’s not midly amusing.
Wrong burger toppings
No cheese and no Mayo etc
But was gving lots of each…
wrong pizza toppings, missing bags of chips,
Giving you chips that you did not ask for only for them to charge you extra at the door
And tonight they have which agian I have missing items.
And that’s after I ask them to repeat the order.
Once the driver took a 20 quid tip for her self.
Few seconds I realised I had been shortchanged I shouted back to her.
(she was 5 meters away)
She just ignored me and ran back to her car.
I called merdos up telling them what had happend. The owner had apolagised and said he would drop the money off when he was shutting.
(no money was ever dropped off)
Also the 2 ltr bottle of coke which apperntly you get free?
Was not a 2ltr it was a 750ml bottle
Food is very greasy
I could not even eat what I did get tonight
the staff can’t understand basic English and are incompitent to be working in the uk.
Kebabs are never made for you.
The good auld days of when you orderd a kebab and it was all ready for you to bite in
Now it’s more like a game of asembling your own kebabs pure lazyness
They don’t even stock wine to giveaway it’s a scam.
When the driver comes to the door no wine is produced.
Don’t take my word for it though. Try a delevery for your self. you have been warned though

Food always very greasy. Staff talk in their native language in front of customers (persian I think?) which they should know is very rude! prices go up quite frequently. How fresh the food is depends on what time you arrive. I’ve long suspected this place of reheating food. I’ve seen them lowering fried foods into oil thats not even heated properly. It’s little wonder you get a mouth full of grease. Food very bland and salty, haven’t tried their kebabs, although have heard they’re okay. Wouldn’t recommend to my worst enemy!

When you have children it is sometimes easy to fall under the take away routine. In my time I have tried several chip shops and take aways but recently I discovered Merdo’s.
I ordered one of their value meals one evening as a home delivery and whn it arrived, only half an hour later, the food was delicious! It was still hot and everything was as I wanted it.
The menu for ordering for delivery is bright and easy to understand.
I have visited the chip shop on occasions also. It is clean and large. Thee are seats for waiting, if you’ve ordered a pizza etc. All fresh food is kept covered and most of the chip shop food is cooked fresh.
The staff are extremely friendly and chat with you. The prices are fantastic and the menu is full of variety, and if something isn’t on the menu, they will still make it for you!
I definately believe that Merdos is the best chip shop in Edinburgh and the best I have tasted so far! They also have meal deals for large orders and all children get a bottle of juice with their meal.
