Every dish was full of flavour, freshly prepared, and felt like proper traditional tapas rather than the usual generic versions you often get. The atmosphere also added to the experience and made it feel much more authentic overall. The customer service was excellent throughout — friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without being over the top. The staff were happy to help with recommendations and made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. Easily one of the best tapas places I’ve been to and I’ll definitely be back.

African foods usually consist of red meat cooked on the braai (berewors, kebabs, steaks, paps,) potatoes and/or rice and vegetables. desserts are rusks, milktart and koeksister.

(But maybe that's good intentionally, I'd like to think anyway! . Don't let you get away from here. on a strange way, for all his bad points on...read more

I recommend the veggie options, simple dishes executed delicious, dessert was very decadent while the tapas were healthy. I had never really haggis, but the Veggie version was delicious! great selection of beer. beautiful decor and very welcoming owners.

I thought the same would be true for Indaba as it's on a side-street in Tollcross, but there were a couple of other tables happily tucking in. I ordered two glasses of Chenin Blanc (although we didn't need it) and we got on with ordering our tapas.

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.
