Visited here with a friend on 15 Oct when I was visiting Edinburgh. Busy when we got there. Absolutley lovely inside. Even though it was busy were served promptly with our food. The food was spot on and plenty of it. Service was also spot on. Can't fault the place. Will definitely go again when I'm next up in Edinburgh

The food was very good and the prices were reasonable. We shared the meatballs, cheesy garlic bread, calamari, chicken with yogurt and the croquettes. We enjoyed them all but the meatballs and croquettes were our favorites. The only reason I’m rating it with 4 stars is because the waitress wasn’t friendly at all and she made us feel like we were unwelcome.

I saw this restaurant on the way back from the National Museum of Scotland and decided to book a table for dinner. They offer a lunch, pre theatre and Sunday menu which is 3 tapas and dessert for £19.95. The food was amazing, easily the best tapas I have ever tasted. Location, ambiance and service were first rate too. Will definitely be coming back.

We are very fond of tapas and this place looked the part with excellent Andalucian decor. We were quickly shown to our table (no reservation) and our lunch order taken promptly. The food arrived all at once and was not hot. We were served a bean salad we had not ordered and eventually received our full order. The chicken paella was not fresh and did not smell nice. It must have been left over from the previous night. Other dishes were acceptable but distinctly average.

Following the last 18 months, there were times when I thought we'd never be able to go "out out" ever again.So to go here yesterday and feel like the "thing" had never happened was amazing.Great food, great service, wine to die for. Atmosphere as close as you can get to the real deal in Spain.Love love love it.PS! The tortilla is beautiful.

First night in Edinburgh and fancied some tapas , wasn't disappointed. Good selection, busy restaurant, quick service. Wine was pricey at over £20 a bottle. Albondigas was a bit bland, but very good black pudding. Service charge added to bill, would rather have given it to staff directly. Good choice

We booked a meal for last Saturday evening at 8pm. So we were seated very quickly and food was served very quickly. Waiter was pleasant. However, we'd been to this restaurant about 7 years ago and it was amazing. This time it was very disappointing. Food was only lukewarm. Calamari was so salty we couldn't eat it. Our favourite dish is the Goats Cheese with Orange Marmalade. But this time it hadn't even been baked. We were seated upstairs. But it was so loud we couldn't hear each other speak. It seemed much quieter downstairs. Definitely nothing like the experience we had 7 years ago. We went to the Aberdeen restaurant 3 months ago and that was so much better. I don't think we'll go back to the Edinburgh one but will definitely be back to the Aberdeen one.

Sólo probamos 3 tapas, las croquetas de jamón muy buenas, la berenjena gratinada muy rica también y las patatas bravas venían mojadas y pochas... El personal muy adecuado y atento. El precio...una barbaridad de caro!!!!!!!!! Si alguno de los platos de la carta no hacen honor a España ni a Andalucía sencillamente es porque los dueños son italianos.... Lo peor de todo el precio.

Arrived at 7pm, took our order at 7.20ish, food was tasty but only tepid when it arrived, enjoyed the food but needs to be a lot hotter, have a tapas bar where we live and food always hot.Maybe it was an off night as it was busy, mentioned it was not hot enough heat wise to one of the waiting staff who said oh sorry about that and off he went.Don't get me wrong food seasoned nicely, but who wants to eat tepid food

In all honesty, we came to Cafe Andaluz by default in that our usual favourite Edinburgh Tapas restaurant was fully booked and we had been impressed by Cafe Andaluz in Glasgow, so it was logical to want to experience the Andaluz experience in Edinburgh.Located in George Street in the heart of Edinburgh, the entrance gives few clues to the size of the premises behind. Decorated in an attractive traditional Spanish style, the property has dining on two floors and, at least on our visit, was very busy. There is seating outside for those sunny Scottish days! We ordered a wide selection of Tapas for 4, tortilla espanola, patatas bravas, gambas, pinchitos morunos, large paella mariscos, butifarra negra and bread.Each dish was tasty and was an adequate tapas portion. The paella gave a wonderful aroma and was more than sufficient in size.Service was very good with no issues. Cost was in the region of £100.Overall, very good but, for us, not as good as our usual restaurant for flavours and flair. Well worth a try if you enjoy Spanish food though.

I was really impressed by Cafe Andaluz. We visited early evening on a Thursday and ordered from the pre theatre menu. The dishes on that menu are slightly smaller but the 6 between us plus 1 extra bread was more than enough alongside a nice bottle of red. The staff were nice and pleasant. Will visit again and would highly recommend.

We visited on our recent trip to Edinburgh, we booked a few weeks in advance as we love Tapas and always like to go to a good tapas restaurant when on holidayWe arrived and were seated quickly, the restaurant is big and very busyService was very good and quick although it kind of felt like they just wanted you in and out as quickly as possible.We ordered drinks which arrived quickly and the amaretto sour was excellent one of the best we have had in a whileWe ordered various small dishes to share. The food arrived quickly but sadly did not live up to our expectations. I think most of it was frozen and re heated and was not fresh or cooked to order. The calamari was chewy and rubbery and definitely not fresh. The paella was so bland and completely lacked any seasoning at all.The gambas pil pil was not fresh and lacked flavor. The croquettes and garlic bread were nice but not amazing. Not worth the money and not authentic spanish tapas. I would not recommend if you are looking for proper authentic freshly cooked tapas

Food quality was sub-par for the price. Will not be coming back.Cons:> The Plato combinado Espanol was small and didn’t include the Spanish tortilla as per the menu. It seems like it was replaced by 4 small slices of cured meats. Not worth £14.80 and the replacement should have been mentioned when ordering. > We got 6 thin asparagus tips for £6.40 (£1 per asparagus).l> We got 4 overcooked “king prawns” - 2 average size and 2 small in quite a sweet tomato sauce which tasted as though it contained no chilli at all (despite being the ‘Gambas picante’) for £8.20 (£2 per overcooked prawn)> We got 6 calamari rings for £6.20 (£1 per ring)> The mussel sauce was thin, watery and lacked depth.> Potatas Bravas came with very little sauce> Food came out very quick - clearly not fresh/made to orderPros.> The chorizo in red wine sauce potion size and taste was good> The mussel portion size was good.On the plus side, when we mentioned the issues the manager did offer to rectify the problems (and did refund some items from our bill) - which meant we did leave feeling better about the situation. However, overall, for nearly a £100 bill for 2 people (with a bottle of wine), Cafe Andaluz should do better

The service was provided with a smize (smiley eyes with masks lol) and our waiter was very attentive. All the food was delicious and hot and the creme brulee was to die for. We tried a couple of cocktails too, my first strawberry daiquiri was perfect unfortunately the 2nd was way too strong that I left it, others might of not had a problem with that. The one negative I have is that they don't have a restaurant near me, more trips to Scotland it will have to be.

You will need a booking to get a seat as this is a very popular venue. If I were scoring only on food, this would be a ‘5’ rating. Unfortunately, the waitress let us down. Our final dish was delivered to another table which meant we had a long wait. I get that mistakes happen but when we tried to discuss it with her, she became argumentative, said it was not her fault and disputed the time we had waited. Other than this unfortunate incident, this place is fabulous. You really feel like you are in Spain once seated. Exciting Spanish decor, buzzy atmosphere and simply delicious food. We shared 5 x tapas and one desert and that was enough food for the two of us. This is the second time I have been here over an 18 month period and despite the covid time we live in, this place is consistently serving delicious food. Well done. Recommended.

Never would of thought of having such a authentic Spanish cuisine experience in Edinburgh but we did. The tapas were great but the main event was the Paella. We had the seafood mixed. It was amazing. Good wine selection as well or you can have a pitcher of Sangria to pair with the dishes. Unexpectedly great and awesome service as well. I had made my reservations for the next day by mistake but the maître d' was nice enough to cancel it and give us a table that was ready straight ahead. Would recommend.

I love a good tapas place but this fell a bit short on the food. Great atmosphere and service but the food wasn't the best. It was OK, it just didn't seem as fresh as it should be, certainly wasn't prepared to order. Everything came out at once (not used to that in a tapas place!) and really quickly, which seems like a good thing but I'd rather wait a bit longer for freshly prepared food. The pollo marinado for example was dry and just looked like it had been sitting out for a while. The cheese on the asparagus had gone a bit congealed too (sorry that sounds gross, can't think of a better way to describe it!).

Booked in for dinner (5 of us) and we ordered a good selection of food. Everything was good, but very little was stunning. It's difficult coping with so many covers but the quality of the food wasn't great - I'm sure the ingredients were top quality but just lacked a bit.My calamari was under-cooked so was a bit soggy...but great taste. The chorizo in red wine was simply that - my daughter cooks this dish a thousand times better. There were a few highlights - the chicken with honey & mustard was superb; the tortilla was incredibly light & fluffy.I had high hopes as my wife had eaten her a few years ago and had really enjoyed it so just found the whole visit disappointing.Would we go again - probablyWould we recommend to friends - possibly

Very average and IMO pricey for what you get. Ordered the ‘king scallops’ they were the size of a 5p, got about 5 of them (thick to be fair but tiny) with crispy ham and creamy leek sauce.. £10.50! The croquettes were really dry and not cheesy, genuinely thought they were frozen and the slow cooked lamb again was tiny little pieces of lamb, not nice big chunks. Everything also arrived at the same time, all 7 dishes we ordered, and so not everything was warm.. just not very good at all!

Had really bad service nearby and left to go elsewhere. Came and the lovely staff at Cafe Andalusz were happy to accommodate us. The food was fantastic. Atmosphere is always great in here. Wonderful value on the pre theatre menu. Such a lovely buzz about the place! The service was amazing. Prompt/polite and couldn't do enough for you. The management are doing a great job here leading a team of enthusiastic and friendly staff. Nothing was a problem and we were made to feel very welcome. Thanks to all the team we had a lovely night.

We visited cafe Andaluz last night, the service was very good, really friendly and welcoming but sadly the food was disappointing. We ordered the calamari that was really rubbery & the gambas pil pil which the prawns were extremely dry and over cooked. The rest of the food was ok but lacking seasoning. Sadly not the best tapas I have had, was very average.

Very tasty food, great service & atmosphere.We’d booked the tapas deal though, which didn’t appear available when we were there which was a pity and fault of the online booking system.Would highly recommend if you’re looking for tasty tapas - great to share or try something different.Well located in Edinburgh.

Had a brilliant lunch here today with a work colleague. The service was great: relaxed but attentive, fast, and friendly. We arrived at 12.15pm and had our pick of tables with a castle view to choose from, which was much appreciated! The tables in the main part of the restaurant were very spread out and everything felt safe. We wished we could have stayed for dessert and coffee as there was lots to tempt even on the smaller lunch menu. Highly recommended for a fun lunch in central Edinburgh.

Firstly I rang to say I was going to be late and this was acceptable thankfully. On booking a reservation I informed them I was intolerant to foods and they knew this and had the menu ready for me with the list on. This helped me order my food and there be no hidden ingredients which made the experience even more so delightful and knowing it wasn’t going to upset me afterwards. I just wish more restaurants did this.The food was lovely. The service was too. Would highly recommend.

We visited this restaurant on Wednesday. The food was absolutely amazing and such a good selection available. The calamari however was abit too chewy but all the other dishes were excellent. The staff however were all really quiet and not overly friendly. They didn’t check if we enjoyed our food or didn’t make much conversation. The service was prompt and efficient however. Overall, the food was great but service could be improved to make customers feel more welcome.

Staff were great, food was amazing! Love the tapas selection meaning you can try a load of different things including some with a Scottish twist to them. Cocktails were also great!

After reading all the great reviews about this restaurant we signed up straight away to book a table. When we arrived at the restaurant there was minimal customer service and this continued throughout the visit. We ordered 7 dishes and they arrived at the table straight away - not freshly cooked, meat was dry and sauces had a dried layer on top. Couple of dishes were lovely however. After the waitress took away all the left over food there was no ‘was everything ok for you?’ Never one to complain but this place didn’t even give the option to give critical feedback. We’ve eaten in some great places in Edinburgh. Expected more from this place based on the reviews. Disappointing.

Service, atmosphere and drinks were very nice but the food was very average. Could do with a bit more seasoning and could have came a bit warmer as some of the items were luke warm.

Superb tapas menu with loads of choice but the quantity of choice did not mean a lack of quality. The excellent food was backed up by friendly & efficient staff. The sangria was a great choice of refreshment too

Walked in at the end of May with no reservation and were lucky enough to get a table. We were seated in the outside tent area which has been set up temporarily on George Street Road. Seating area was comfy and covered on the windy day we were there. All staff were very friendly and looked happy to be back at work. Good set course lunch menu which we shared between the two of us. All food was very hot considering there is a bit of a walk from the kitchen out onto the street then to where you are seated. It all had lots of flavours and no complaints from either of us.
