"The Waiting Room offers Scottish, American, Big and Vegetarian breakfast options. The lunch menu is heavy on the burgers and clubs (nothing wrong with that), but they also have a few “traditional” lunch options like fish, mix grills and soup. Whatever your fancy, The Waiting Room Bar looks to have a little something for all and the prices are very reasonable."

Tasty Treats on a Tight Budget: Edinburgh's Best Value Restaurants
"The Mosque Kitchen has a simple philosophy, "curry in a hurry". In practice this means a limited menu with delicious but simple meat based and vegetable based curries with only a few side dishes at rock bottom prices. The restaurant has the feel of a university canteen - In part because of the simple dining hall with bright orange walls, paper plates and plastic forks, but also because this wonderful eatery is generally packed with students."
