📖

Full description

Alby's is a budget-friendly sandwich shop in Leith with a short menu and a loyal following. Reviewers highlight unusual flavour combinations and generous portions, noting that one sandwich can stretch to two meals.

The chicken thigh and pork sandwiches get specific praise, the latter arriving with fresh vegetables, sauce, cheese and a spicy sriracha kick. It is a quick, casual stop of around 30 minutes with no booking system, better suited to a hearty lunch or early dinner than a long sit-down meal.

Opening days are limited, with Monday closed, so check before you go.

Reviews

Been here twice now, unique flavour combos for the sandwiches and they are always delicious. On the pricier side for essentially a sandwich, but they are huge and could easily do two meals so it equals out. Staff are really friendly.
