I am looking for a recommendation for a restaurant for this hogmanay.

Im not looking for somewhere Witchery expensive but Im not looking for Weatherspoons cheap either. Reasonably close to the centre of town would be good as well so we can get to a decent spot for the fireworks. We are open to pretty much any cuisine apart from a shellfish.

Suggest away
Cheers
Malcolm

Howies on Victoria Street is a regular of mine when we're in town - not had a bad meal there, and whilst it's never a huge menu there's normally a decent selection for most tastes.

+1 on T4T

And yep, still a Howies on Waterloo place - you get a pretty decent view of the fireworks from Regent Road too, if you cba to climb up Calton Hill with a full belly.

I've been to Howies at Waterloo Place on NYE before, reduced menu but excellent as usual.

If Kushis is still serving the same Naan Bread as they did in the past, watch out, they're huge.
It's a long time since I ate there, but I used to be a regular customer some years ago. I had some friends up from London visiting, and we went to Kushis. Used to the tiny dinner plate sized Naans that they got "darn sarf" they ordered two each, despite our warnings. In the event, they could barely manage one.
I would suggest catching a wee look at other customers to see if this is still the case. For reference, I would say that these monsters used to be about 18 inches to 2 feet long (or 45cm to 60cm for you young 'uns).
