What Tara Young doesn't like about Indaba Tapas:
South Africans or the rainbow nation have a large and diverse food culture. there are 9 official bantu languages plus English and African. eating is a melting pot of Dutch, French, Indian and Malaysian influences. in South Africa there are three different cooks. the first is afrikaans cooking, which is very influenced by the Dutch settlers who were joined by the French huguenots.

Lovely restaurant. Food is excellent and not too expensive. Service also great.

Experience diverse and delicious South African and Portuguese cuisine at a hidden gem off the beaten path in Edinburgh. The colorful decor may not impress, but the tapas dishes and desserts certainly will. Enjoy a lovely meal with excellent service, highlighted by unique dishes like South African sausage and piquillo peppers. The gluten-free menu options are a bonus for those with dietary restrictions. With top-notch recommendations from friendly staff and mouthwatering dishes like goat cheese with carrot jam and cane honey, Indaba guarantees a memorable dining experience in Scotland's capital.
