First time ive been to a deli and it definitely didnt disappoint. I had a tuna panini it was the best ive had in a long time. I had a cup of tea. The tea was perfect. If you dont want to eat in there are parks in this area. Overall it was a delight to eat here.

Got my first wrap today. Was nicely warmed up in the oven. Packed with a decent portion of delicious falafel, cheese and yummy sauce. Good service too.

Great service and food. Had a katsu curry wrap which came with a delicious side pot of katsu / satay style sauce. Coffee was great too.

Such a hidden gem, the gentleman behind the counter always serves and is a polite delight. I only ever order the wraps because they are hands down the tastiest lunch you could ever get, once I have tried them all I will move onto the sandwiches. Breakfast rolls are also equally delicious, I think the bread being used is the secret. Small cafe, not pretentious at all, you know what you’re getting, my new favourite lunch spot

Highly recommend Danieli’s! The staff are so nice and the food is very fresh! We chose to make our own toasted paninis and they were loaded with toppings. Best priced meal we have seen in Edinburgh for less than 6 pounds a person.

This was just the most perfect little deli to stop for lunch. My wife and I are visiting from Canada and stopped here after a long walk. They had the most amazing sandwiches and wraps for really affordable prices. The owners were incredibly kind. It was hard not to be charmed by the place! We both ate lunch for less than 16£. I had the Lime Chicken erap. Fantastic! Definitely recommend if you're in the area.

I stumbled upon this delightful deli in Edinburgh, and the experience was worth every twist and turn. Initially bustling with a big order, I ventured out to explore other options but found myself irresistibly drawn back. Though they initially lacked the panini I craved, my patience paid off. Upon my return, I was treated to one of the best breakfasts ever! The panini, freshly baked and incredibly tasty, exceeded my expectations. The croissant was equally outstanding. Despite its small size, this hidden gem is worth the effort of waiting. The charm of the place, combined with the delicious offerings, makes it a must-visit for breakfast enthusiasts. Highly recommended!
