Saboteur - Edinburgh

The food was good, but really bad service. Not a single person smiled or was friendly the whole time. We booked a table for 6.30 and the confirmation email said to vacate the table at 7.50. At 7.00 they told us we would need to vacate by 7.15, our food hadn't even arrived yet! I pointed out that the email said something different and that only gave 45 minutes since arriving. She said she's check and then came back and said, Nope, sorry. 7.15. I showed her the email and she said she'd get the manager, who never arrived. We had 2 rounds of the exact same drinks, and the second time the beers were half the size for the same price?! They also kept asking for our order every 2 minutes when we had only just sat down. The whole time we just felt like an inconvenience!

I can recommend the Kee Mao! Yum. Oh, I need to say more to get to 100 characters. It was delicious and I never shared any of it :

We thoroughly enjoyed our recent to Saboteur, everything was delicious. We got a duck curry, sticky rice, roti and chicken dumplings. Everything came quick, hot and most importantly tasted amazing. Great balance of sweet, sour and spicy. Full dinner for £12 each, we couldn’t complain!

Delicious pho soup stew, good price draught beer, nice if pricy gyozas. So much nicer than bland food nearby in pubs... Poor tourist fish and chip stuff... Much quieter than its adjacent sister restaurant.

I was a big fan of Ting Thai Caravan, so I had high expectations when I visited Saboteur. Unfortunately, the Tom Yum soup lacked flavor and the Pho was bland. I felt overcharged for extra prawns, and the broth seemed to be just hot water with sriracha and soy sauce. The stir-fried noodle dish was too salty and lacked authentic flavors. As an Asian, I was very disappointed with my experience at Saboteur.
