The wait is nearly over for ramen-lovers in the south of Edinburgh.
Wagamama have announced the opening date for the new restaurant at the Fort Kinnaird retail park.
We told last month how the Japanese restaurant was opening its latest branch at a newly-built unit.
A date of March 9 has been set for the grand opening. The chain also revealed there would be an outdoor seating area.
Let's hope there's no repeat of Storm Ciara on the day...
Regional marketing manager Kate Dell said: "We’re so excited to be bringing wagamama to Fort Kinnaird, making it our 9 restaurant in Scotland.
"We look forward to welcoming Wagamama fans and new guests alike with our nourishing Japanese inspired menu in March."
The new restaurant has 171 internal seats and a small outdoor seating area of 41 seats.
Well known for its katsu curry, Wagamama launched a vegan range last year.
General manager Martin McColl said: "We can’t wait to be finally opening our doors in Fort Kinnaird, all of our new team are really excited and we look forward to welcoming everybody in the local area into our new restaurant in March."
Liam Smith, centre director at Fort Kinnaird, said: "There’s been a huge amount of anticipation ahead of the new wagamama restaurant opening, so we’re very excited for the official opening in March.
"The Fort Kinnaird Wagamama is not only a stunning build, it is a fantastic addition to the extensive dining options we offer.
"I know it will be an instant hit with shoppers, whether they’re having a bite to eat before the cinema or refuelling after a shop."
