Hey guys just a little heads up, warning, what ever you wanna call it, especially for women. So Saturday night me and my boyfriend were coming back from Glasgow, got off the train at Haymarket and headed up Morrison street to get good at No.1 Kebab at about 12:30/1am. When we got there, there was a man already in the shop that was giving his number to the two men working in the kebab shop and saying he'd come back and pay for his food tomorrow (seemed a little weird but kinda shrugged it off). We ordered a cheese pizza and chips. And waited about five minutes before overhearing one of the guys working saying to the other guy working about a meat feast pizza, chose to ignore this because another person was coming and going from the shop and presumed it was their order. We were called up to get our food which was in fact a meat pizza. We explained that that wasn't what we had ordered and we wanted a cheese pizza and then man tried to barter with us to get us to just pay for this pizza, which wasn't what we ordered. We refused and he explained he'd have to make a new pizza. Another ten minutes later he notices that my boyfriend is holding his bank card as means of payment and says that the card machine isn't working. We explain we have no cash on us. (Surely you must explain to someone before they order that it's cash only, and in a pandemic too!!!) My boyfriend goes away to the cash machine across the road and just up from the kebab shop but comes back to explain that cash machine is out of service. The two men working are starting to get frustrated and try to explain where another cash machine might be but as a local I knew where he was explaining there wasn't a cash machine. He told us we could come back with the money tomorrow, or bank transfer and at that point I just felt extremely uncomfortable and explained to my boyfriend that i think we should just leave it. The men started trying to offer us the food for free, which we declined and started to walk away as one of the men is shouting at us and starting to follow us up the street. Thankfully for us he left us alone. When we got home my boyfriend told me that the reason he didn't go looking for a second cash point was because he would have been out of view of the kebab shop and felt that these men may be dangerous and although we can't say or prove anything, for my safety he didn't want to leave me alone where he couldn't see what was happening. I want to know if anyone else has had a similar experience with this kebab shop or anything negative. Mostly just a word of warning to the community about some absolutely awful service and I would hate to think that I didn't warn people and something worse happened to...

Read moreWatch out for being double charged.
I was walking my friend home when he saw this place. I had heard bad things and advised him against it. He ignored me and went in. I was proven right!
The place was quiet, there were 3 people in front of us and there was 2 things on the menu. Donner or "chicken".
My pal asked for a donner kebab and then waited patiently. A rush of young women came in and all focus was lost on order tracking. We watched as order after order was given out without my friends coming up. After 10 minutes he sheepishly asked about his order. The man tried to charge us a second time. When we refused to pay a second time after insisting that payment was already made, èthey dismissed us and went back to gawking at the girls. It took us a banking app to prove that we had paid already before even one of them would take us seriously and the kebab was produced. Barely an apology from the man who had to admit the mistake after we had shown the withdrawal in the banking ap.
The bad things i had heard was, it's a rip off merchant. They will double charge you or add extra charges for made up items. I was proven right in this case.
They prey on drunk people to turn an extra profit and have no shame in doing so. I have never recommended this kebab house, and...
