Plus, most of our menu is gluten-free, ensuring that many dietary restrictions can be accommodated. If you have food allergies or specific dietary needs, please let us know—we're here to make your experience enjoyable. Among our best specialties, you'll find dishes like Aceitunas de la Casa, featuring a tantalizing mix of marinated olives, pickled anchovy fillets, and chorizo paired with free-range egg and potato. Don't miss out on our Calamares a la Plancha, perfectly grilled with extra virgin olive oil, and our Mejillones al Vapor, light and fresh steamed mussels served with a choice of white wine or cream sauce. For a classic comfort food, try our Patatas Bravas, sautéed potatoes drizzled with our signature spicy sauce or served alongside garlic mayo. Planning a get-together? We’ve got you covered! For groups and parties, please note that on Fridays and Saturdays, we accommodate tables of 9 at specific times to ensure a smooth dining experience. To secure a booking for larger groups during August, a deposit of £10 per person is required.

Great Spanish and South-African tapas. The Salpicón de Pulpo, Secreto Ibérico (Pork shoulder) and the deserts (all homemade) were superb. There 's a really nice rustic, 'neighbourhood ' feel to the place and it was busy which created a nice atmosphere. All in all, a great experience and one I 'd recommend to anyone looking for Spanish tapas in Edinburgh, or Scotland for that matter. Gracias y hasta pronto!

What an amazing meal at Indaba, truly delicious selection. Owner and staff very personable, explaining South African/Spanish dishes thoroughly. Ambience good with customers suggesting plates to others. Relaxing eatery. Owner advised 5 tapas plates for 2 people and was spot on. Each plate was a delight culminating in an extra plate sticky toffee pudding ice cream, wow whee! Back for more in September. Price per person: £30–40 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Gambas Al Ajillo, Patatas Bravas, Ibérico Pork Shoulder, Chicken Skewers, Goat’S Cheese
