Only discovered it last year even though it's been there for years. Product and service are the only criteria (although location can be a benefit in certain situations) and on both counts, they win. I very rarely drink coffee in the house but their espresso is as good as you'll find anywhere and their chips - something I never eat in the house (not being a weegie) - are the best anywhere and in the middle of the day, so deliciously decadent. A couple on here won't be happy with the service providers being mostly not locally-born and bred but a good example today of why NE businesses in the service sector will employ a non-native instead of a local, quite rightly in my opinion. They actually care about doing their job and want to look after their customers. I had to suggest to the inexperienced migrant lassie to stop saying sorry before we'd even been served and her smile when we handed over a 25% tip at the end was one of relief and understanding. She was damn good at her job, just too anxious to get it right all the time when they were obviously exceedingly busy, as we could see and could appreciate, where the first "it's ok, we're not in any rush" failed to stem her needless apologies. You wouldn't get most Brits giving that much of a fuck on minimum wage. Imagine the mutants and the racists on here and what they got parented by? Pure shit, some of them. Had some life saving breakfasts in there after a few days of partying. I really recommend it to everyone. I used the Richmond Street Deli the other day. 2x sandwiches and 2x soups =£21. The katsu sandwich was incredible. Soups were great too. The mother was in a terrible mood and was giving her beautiful daughter a hard time for the duration I was in. Wasn't great to witness. But I was there for food and it was great. Link to comment

Studebaker-90 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Can’t speak highly enough of it in terms of the quality of the food. They are bastards for shutting when they feel like it and not advertising it though so maybe phone ahead. Link to comment

sheepcrooky Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Going for a ruby murray at The Shabaaz this Friday, not had a proper curry for about 6 months. Town will probably be dead though. Link to comment

King Street Loon Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Off out to Rev de Cuba for some food later. Been a while since I've sampled the delights on offer there. They are still doing discounted food, so all good. Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Will wash the food down with a few rums. Link to comment

Been a while since I've sampled the delights on offer there. They are still doing discounted food, so all good. Good to see that place is advertising a Christmas menu as well as promoting its premises for use in the build up to the festivities. (Never heard of it until doing some research just now.) Nice see a local business offering some glimmer of hope to its employees, the general public, and the local community of which its serves. Hopefully, some others start to take control of their own destinies, like Rev de Cuba, instead of being bullied and oppressed by our governments. Link to comment
sheepcrooky Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Well the Shabaaz was up to it’s brilliant standard of food on Friday. Excellent nosh. Went to a few pubs; Soul Bar, Ferryhill, Amarone, Foundry, Glentanar and McGinty’s. This signing in electronically was a pain in the ass though. It was still good to get out Link to comment
daytripping Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Davys chipper Bucksburn, Fish Supper. 7/10, nae up to Rickys place in Dyce but was pissed, couldn't drive. Link to comment
Poodler Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Agreed ^ Dyce is far and away the best in Aberdeen, it's been said many times on here. Will be swinging by Red Robin Records later on correction wynd, their homemade soup is always excellent, as is the banana bread. Worth a visit. Link to comment
