Coyaba, Edinburgh

This is simply the best place I have ever eaten, on any continent.

They didn't have a category for it, but it's Jamaican food.

The staff is so amazing. You can go in on a busy night and get the same service as on a dead slow one.

I went on my birthday and they easily accommodated my party of eight, even though the dining room is SMALL. We all had great food, eating until we exploded, and then sat and drank their rum punch until they closed. I'm surprised they didn't throw us out, but we did order a few bottles of champagne and wine, so I'm sure that helped. But no, instead, the cook and one of the owners came out and chatted with us (as we were the only ones left) and took their pictures with me and were very cool.

And since they are such cool people, they recognized me every time after that. I took my mom once when she came to visit and even though she hates all 'exotic' food, even she had a nice time.

It's a very relaxed, islandy vibe with great music and the friendliest staff ever.
