Awesome, quaint little spot with friendly local staff. Seemed like a family affair, which made it even better! — when I was there, a former employee was dining in with some friends and catching up with the current staff. This is a good sign for a good business to me!
Was served my first real Scottish haggis, which was delicious with the mash — and enjoyed Mum’s Gin as well.
Definitely recommend a drop for some comfort foods!

We love this restaurant and we went back twice during our 4 days stay there. Really feel like home cook comfort food, love the haggis and pie.

Our visit to Edinburgh today, we dropped into Mums Cafe...to try the haggis. It was delicious. Food was well made, very homely. Our host, Neesha was just wonderful, thank you to everyone who worked hard to provide us with a great lunch and the impeccable service was appreciated

Great food, cosy and warm. Place was packed, even on a Monday night. Fair warnings, servings are huge, but at least the staff took it very good naturedly that a few of us couldn't finish! Also a great soft entry to haggis, nicely stacked up with the neeps and tatties.

Both times I ordered here, the serving was quick, friendly and the food tasty. Just Like home, suficient portion even for a day long hunger. Great Sheppard's pie. I like the nice cosy atmosphere and the whole experience feels good.

My daughters and I visited for lunch whilst being in Edinburgh for the university open day, and I'm so glad we stumbled across this little gem.
An incredibly warm welcome with friendly, cheerful staff and as for the food...well, it really was great comfort food.
The Steak & Ale stew was beautiful, generously sized portions and cooked to perfection. The dumplings were huge, and I was spoiled for choice with the various mash options.
I really do wish that my home town had a Mum's too...I guess I'll just have to hope my daughter is successful with her application so we can pay a regular visit!

LOVED IT!! while the food is typical English Fare, the vibe makes it so FUN! Nico (according to him - a bad actor :) ) and Juon ( his lawyer) are clearly enjoying their work and hence the special VIBE. Ordered the Sausage and Mash with Brown Gravy while wifey ordered the pie.....ENJOYED IT! If you are near the Edinburgh Medical School vicinity MUST VISIT!!!

Honestly brilliant. In a 4 day trip to Edinburgh we went twice the food and service was so great. Great home cooked style food served with a smile and joke. Mistakenly left a hat there and they had safely set it aside remembering us. This is a must visit for me.

The lady working here is fantastic. Lovely personality.
Went for the famous pancake stack and combined both bacon and banana option, and man.. that was goood.
Sanitation wasn’t that nice, but also not the worst.
All in all a great place, and I definitely recommend my choice for breakfast.

Great little place to enjoy Scottish food! My first time having haggis and I loved it! 🤩 I also had their home-made pork sausages and mash with leek and bacon 😋 I even took the left-over home and eat it the next morning as breakfast with tortilla chips 🌮
During the lunch peak, the service could get pretty hectic but it is worth the wait imo. Lastly, I just like the little touches they do for this restaurant such as postcard, ketchup bottles, and musics ❤️
