About The Stenhouse Takeaway
The Stenhouse Takeaway is a fish and chips takeaway in Edinburgh, at 12 Stenhouse Cross, and its menu runs well beyond the fryer into other hot food. The list includes a fish supper, and the kebabs come with chilli sauce on offer. Anyone wanting something sweet can order deep fried chocolate. The kitchen works from a wide list that treats fish and chips as one part of a larger takeaway menu. Service is walk-in, so customers simply turn up and order.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers who praise the takeaway point first to the kebabs, which a regular calls always fresh and hot, with a chilli sauce described as the best they have had, and to kids meals in good portions. One delivery is described as arriving on time and pipping hot, and another reviewer says the food has never been bad and they always feel welcome. Complaints, though, are frequent. The pizza draws the sharpest criticism: greasy and almost deep fried, a stale thin crust, and cheese one reviewer says was cheddar despite a website claim of mozzarella. Wraps are called disgusting, the gravy on chips is described as flavourless, and one reviewer calls a large fish supper expensive. One reviewer reports a partner falling ill with food poisoning after a fish supper. Several describe deliveries arriving very late with cold, stale food, and one says the order never came, with repeated calls going unanswered before it was cancelled.

“Genuinely the worst pizza I have ever eaten. This takeaway advertises on the website “all our pizzas are made with 100% mozzarella”although as you can see, the cheese is cheap, flavourless cheddar cheese (paper towel is from mopping up grease on ONE of the slices) of this £12 pizza. Not to mention the stale, thin crust it’s served on. We also ordered the chips and gravy, the chips were edible and the gravy was brown sloppy flavourless water that contained DRIED HERBS 😂 great place to come if you’re on a diet and you intend to not finish it all, but if you are wanting a decent dinner I wouldn’t recommend.”

“Ordered a delivery they took delivery after 75 mins I called to see what was happening no answer called another 7 times were at 1hr 49 mins now still no answer, I’ve written this a bit later as they never turned up cancelled my order and didn’t even have the decency to pick the phone up to say so absolute cowardly behavior and not professional at all if they can’t be professional on a phone makes you wonder”
