A Culinary Oasis on Nicolson Street The KFC on Nicolson Street in Edinburgh is a paragon of fast-food excellence. The establishment's aesthetic is undeniably pleasing, with a modern and inviting ambiance that belies its status as a quick-service eatery. The interior is meticulously maintained, exuding a sense of cleanliness and order that is both refreshing and reassuring. However, it is the culinary offerings and service that truly elevate this KFC above its peers. The speed with which orders are prepared is truly commendable, demonstrating a level of efficiency that is often lacking in similar establishments. The signature fried chicken is, as always, a delight, with a crispy exterior that gives way to succulent, flavorful meat. The accompanying sides, whether they be fries, coleslaw, or gravy, complement the main course admirably. In conclusion, the KFC on Nicolson Street is a testament to the fact that even within the realm of fast food, exceptional quality and service can be achieved. It is a culinary oasis that is sure to satisfy the cravings of both locals and...

I recently visited KFC, and it was a fantastic experience! The restaurant was clean, vibrant, and had a welcoming vibe. The staff were friendly and efficient, getting my order out quickly despite a busy crowd. I went for the classic Original Recipe Chicken bucket with sides of mashed potatoes, coleslaw, and biscuits—everything was spot-on. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and packed with that signature KFC flavor. The sides were fresh, and the biscuits were warm and fluffy, just how I like them. I also tried their new spicy sauce, which added a perfect kick! The service was top-notch, with the cashier even checking in to make sure everything was good. Prices were reasonable for the generous portions, and the whole meal felt like a great value. I’ll definitely be back for more finger-lickin’ goodness! Highly recommend this KFC location for a quick,...

The best KFC in Edinburgh. Is it a 5 star restaurant, no! The five stars review will be helpful to people who know all about KFC and are looking for the one with the nicest food and friendliest staff.

For people who don't know KFC then this is a fried chicken place, get your fill of chicken pieces like legs, breast, wings and sides like chips, beans, gravy or corn on the cob. It's not fine dining by any means.

Why I think it is the best KFC is largely due to the fact they food is usually hot (meadowbank sometimes gives you a cold burger), the chips are usually crisp, the gravy is the nice tasting one (meadowbank's is thin and not nice), the chicken is cooked in the correct manner (Prince's mall seem to rush it) the staff are friendly and it's the classic KFC ordering process (the KFC on Jeffery St is a funny Argos style "order number to...

Scotland Visit 🇬🇧🍗 Me and my friends were on a holiday in Scotland and decided to treat ourselves with KFC. We ordered one bucket chicken and 3x hot wings. ✅ The hot wings were really good – crispy, well-seasoned, and full of flavour. ✅ The fries were also fresh and tasty. ❌ But unfortunately, the bucket chicken was extremely salty – so much that we couldn’t enjoy it properly. We were really disappointed as we were looking forward to it during our trip. Hope this is just a one-off issue and the team can check on the seasoning levels going forward. We love KFC, but this experience wasn’t up to the usual standard. 📍Nicolson Street

As always service was dire. I wouldn't mind having some of whatever the guy who was trying to help was smoking, not sure he knew which dimension his hands were in. 3 attempts to get a full cup of Pepsi without ice. Not one of our 4 orders were correct. However we got a free-be, found at the bottom of a drink, the nozzle from a drink dispenser (as pictured). At least this time they were not putting orders as ready to collect, when they weren't, like last time.

we brought 20 chicken wings for take away. They just give us all chicken wings in a paper bag with a small box. All chicken wings are in paper bag and oil from wings soak the paper bag . The bag was broken in 5 mins after we leave the restaurant . Some wings dropped on ground.When we went back to kfc and told them about this, they even didn't say sorry or feel apologize. The service is really bad !!!!!!!!!!! Don't go to this restaurant any more!!!
