Fantastic! Down from Aberdeen for a gig at the Usher Hall, picked somewhere nearby for dinner based on review score and can confirm that the reviews are accurate. Can't really recommend too many dishes as we basically had the specials board from top to bottom - and every dish was amazing. Small places and busy for a Wednesday so we were glad we went early and booked our table. We will definitely be back next time we are down.
Absolutely phenomenal experience, thank you so much Isobel and Begonia for the world class meal. I wish I had a bigger stomach! Everything was fantastic. I can't recommend higher, totally amazing meal. Thank you both for your excellent service and perfect meal! xo from Canada
Great little find. Great selection of food, very tasty, good service. Highly recommended, will be back when back in Edinburgh
Found this restaurant walking around one evening by accident. What a gem! Amazing mackerel in a bao bun, followed by Patatas bravas and lamb chops with parsnip puree and a roast parsnip on top. All dishes absolutely amazing. Best tapas I’ve ever had in the last 15 years, up there with a top Madrid restaurant. I’ll definitely be coming back. Totally recommended.
a hidden gem in the city!! warm, welcoming, vibe and the cozy decor draws you in. The food is outstanding, especially the Tarta La Llorona, pure heaven. From the friendly service to the thoughtful menu, makes this place feel special. Whether you’re stopping by for a casual bite or a full evening out, Indaba is the place to make wonderful memories
Absolutely gorgeous food, particularly the specials. Really good portion sizes (so much I ended up taking some home for later!) The staff are very friendly and it’s a great night out
Really exceptionally good food in a unique style. Each tapas dish was very different but all amazingly tasty. Great veggie options too
What a great find this has been for me even though it’s on my doorstep! It’s a bit hidden off the Main Street but apparently been there for 15 years ! Lovely smallish restaurant but nice feel about it Staff are very attentive and knowledgeable and explain the specials (Which are on a board the size of me ) the menu is excellent With a great choice of meat/fish/ vegetarian tapas style mostly Spanish but some South African style ! Different but lovely The food is the prize in here all cooked fresh and hot and brought out randomly which is great. Been here twice in two weeks now And I’ll definitely be back
