How might one describe the sentiment of this review?
The two employees working the counter at the Mediterranean Gate hated us. And for that, we apologize. After a 4-hour car ride to Edinburgh, over an hour driving around the city (thanks to construction) to find our hotel and another hour walking exploring and searching for a place to eat, we settled on take-out from Mediterranean Gate to bring back to the hotel. So, needless to say, we were all (4 adults & a toddler) hungry & a bit cranky. We didn't mean to be so chaotic and take forever to order, but they had 5 different menus around the store and none of us could figure out what sounded best. In the end, my sister & I ordered a falafel wrap with baba ganoush, which apparently they were out of. Hmph. (Fine for me, as I was going to get it without anyway.) They gave my sister aubergine (eggplant) on hers - and guacamole. An interesting condiment in a Mediterranean place! The chips (aka fries) were frozen - I saw the guy take them out of a bag and put them in the frier) - and needed more ketchup. While HUMUNGOUS, the wraps themselves were not flavorful enough - even with hummous, tahini & hot sauce! We ended up all adding hummous that we had in the hotel to our wraps. A huge thank you to the man sitting at the table - he helped us move our stroller out of the way and even helped us order! We have no idea if he worked there or was friends with the employees, but he was a huge help. And a huge sorry to the guy who walked in and tried to place an order in the middle of our chaos. You just had bad timing, dude. Mediterranean Gate - you told us not to come back (were you joking?). Don't worry - we won't.
