Delicious meal and excellent service Four of us met for dinner and enjoyed a truly delicious meal. Pleasant ambiance and excellent service. A good choice of tapas dishes and desserts, a very good dining experience- the plum and thyme sorbet was the perfect way to finish a lovely meal.

Great Gluten Free Options Visited 29th May, 2023 as we were staying in Edinburgh for a long weekend and my wife is gluten intolerant and most of the menu (although not all) at Indaba is gluten free. We had a great experience and this is one of the best tapas restaurants we have eaten in. The food was amazing and we would definitely recommend. A good selection of specials and dessert options with excellent service, each item on the menu being fully explained to us and it was clearly pointed out if any contained gluten

AMAZING FOOD! Careful for Celiacs who need Gluten Free! Highly recommend! Truly wonderful and authentic Tapas. Excellent service and amazing food. I can see why this place is rated so high! Don't come early as there is no bar for waiting, so you will need to leave and come back, if you are early. They take very good care to highlight Gluten Free food and will ensure the items you order are GF if you are sure to let them know. Everything we ordered was amazing! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Great food and amazing staff Must be the most unique culinary experience I've had during my stay in Edinburgh. The food was delicious (I totally recommend the goat cheese with carrot jam and cane honey, the chicken-apricot skewers and the desserts) and the staff was very kind and likeable. If I ever come back to Edinburgh, I'll definitely dine again at Indaba.

Tapastastic!! I visited on a Saturday evening with my daughter while enjoying a weekend away in Edinburgh. Close to the theatre and cinemas if looking for a pre/post show meal.Excellent service from a small welcoming staff in a comfortable and authentic feeling small restaurant which looks very inauspicious from the outside.We both agreed the tapas were the best we have had anywhere, including Spain, and indeed some of the most delicious food we have been served in a restaurant.Can't comment on the meat selection as we shared all fish and veg options but would imagine they are delicious too and certainly looked good from what we saw of other diners. Both the main and specials menu have a great and balanced selection of dishes. Hard to choose a favourite as they were all equally delicious.Small, reasonably priced wine list...we chose a bottle of Albarinho which was especially good. Small selection of Spanish desserts and also a good ice cream and sorbet menu from a local producer. We shared the trio/tapas of delicious desserts (great option for those who find it difficult to choose) and a coffee to finish. Came in at £80 in total and worth every penny.Go here....you will not be disappointed! We will definitely go back next time we are in town.
