Excellent food and service
Reviewed on
We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch at Ka Poa. The food was exceptional together with first class service. The margaritas were very good too. Totally recommend Ka Poa restaurant in Edinburgh.

Fabulous afternoon
Reviewed on
What can I say - we spent an excellent afternoon with friends at Ka Pao. The food was delicious and was served with good breaks between dishes being delivered. A nice touch was that rice was brought out twice rather than one big bowl and left to cool.
Service was attentive and friendly and the cocktails divine.
Would definitely recommend .
