📖

Full description

Nile Valley Cafe serves African-inspired wraps at low prices, and it has built one of the largest review followings of any budget spot in Edinburgh. Reviewers call the wraps among the most delicious they have eaten, mention queues that still move fast, and note it is well known to local students.

The Thuri Best wrap is named as a favourite. Open from 10:00 AM to 9:30 PM daily with no booking, it fits a quick 45-minute stop for solo diners or anyone wanting a filling, inexpensive meal between sights.

It is a local institution rather than a hidden secret.

Reviews

Wow!! I would like to say that this is a hidden gem but all the Edinburgh students know about it and love it...and for good reason. The wraps are delicious! Do yourself a favour and try it, you'll not regret it!
