Treacle And Kitchen - Edinburgh

I was pleasantly surprised by the amazing Indian street food at this restaurant! I thought the Royal Mile usually catered to inauthentic tourist cuisine, but I was proven wrong by the authentic flavors and quality of the dishes here.

I was in need of some comforting, hearty food and this restaurant certainly delivered. The lamb saag was absolutely amazing! Excellent.

Treacle offers a diverse menu with unique dishes, a cool atmosphere, and outstanding service. The restaurant has a chic and eccentric interior design with spacious seating. We visited three times and were impressed each time.

My self,my partner and a friend were here on Friday last for a get together and drinks. The management of this establishment is questionable to say the least! How can any decent manager or management team allow a member of their own staff to be lone working in such an environment? Whilst we were there a very inebriated man was harassing and intimidating the young woman working behind the bar.She had made her feelings clear to the guy and he still wasn't getting the message. Another couple of customers attempted to ask him to leave so the woman behind the bar could do her job.They managed to get him out of the door but the guy ended up coming back and behaving exactly the same. My partner tried to intervene when he was becoming aggressive towards the woman working behind the bar but then the guy turned on my partner as well. I asked if she wanted me to try and get him out and she was caught between a rock and a hard place as her management team were useless to say the least! Why oh why would you leave a woman on her own behind the bar?I could see that the premises had CCTV but how is that going to protect anyone in reality? I have visited this premises before back in and back then it was lively,vibrant, fresh and clean. Tonight we didn't feel safe in here. The drunken customer harassing the woman behind the bar, making her feel unsafe and uncomfortable, and the lack of security or management present was very off putting. For this reason we will never return to this establishment for all the reasons stated above. I for one will be warning everyone I know not to spend their hard earned cash here or their quality time with friends and family ,as it is obvious that they will not be respected as much or protected as Treacles drunken aggressive regulars. An employer who doesn't prioritise the safety and well being of their employees and customers doesn't deserve to be an employer.

Happy to find a table here on a Sunday when elsewhere was packed. Pleasant laidback atmosphere and staff, fast service. Definitely coming back!
