Sweet heat has grown steadily in popularity across Edinburgh, but not everyone wants the intense versions that appear on some menus. Yayas Grillhouse responded to this with its Hot Honey Collection, offering an approachable level of warmth with no overpowering spice. The Chicken Tikka Kebab becomes slightly sweeter, slightly warmer and retains all of its original flavour. The lamb version benefits in a similar way, gaining a touch of contrast without losing its slow-cooked character.

For many locals, this kind of flavour profile hits a comfortable middle ground. It’s a change from the usual garlic-and-chilli combination but still feels familiar enough to enjoy regularly. That balance is likely why the Hot Honey dishes have quickly become talking points among regulars.
