Indaba Cafe | Bar in Edinburgh, City of

Amazing cafe with genuine Spanish cuisine. We had two sandwiches, a slice of tortilla, drinks, coffee and dessert and everything tasted great. It was full of other Spanish people, so you can tell it's the real deal. The owner was lovely and it had such a homey atmosphere. Such good value as well. Can't wait to visit their sister restaurant in Tollcross.

Had a delicious snack with some friends recently and the food was fabulous, fresh and really wonderfully paired with recommendations from the cafe owner who was a delight. We felt very lucky to come across this gem of a cafe. Lovely coffee too.

Got the Catalan I think, jamon was average and olive oil has this unpleasant edge. Ingredients are not of high quality, and the crusty bread was quite decent on its own but it's too thick and hard for a sandwich. 4 thin slices of jamon also was hardly enough, the ratio of the dense bread to the filling was just too much. Maybe if half of it was served as a open faced sandwich it might be better(although more difficult to eat possibly)

Highly recommended ! Amazing food, atmosphere and very friendly staff:). It is one of the best tapas in Edinburgh.

I was looking for something healthy, with a glass of wine which was surprisingly hard to find. Look no further! Cute and unpretentious with great food and wonderful ladies running the place 🤍

Nice staff, delicious authentic tapas

A friendly place with a very nice atmosphere and delicious food. We went there early evening before going to see flamenco at the festival. Tapas was perfect. Would thoroughly recommend

Amazing place! It's been couple of time I'm going there and WOW... Each time the food is delicious and matching with perfect wine, advised by the sommelier and experts there. Above all, the owner is super nice and made like we feel comfortable ! I will come back and I recommend! See ya!!!

I came for coffee, which was all right. However, before I ordered it, I asked about plant-based milks or the possibility of adding vanilla syrup. The seller said that "they serve people here who actually like coffee." Then added that “in their country they drink coffee with at most condensed milk, but if I have an intolerance to dairy products I’ll probably not gonna use this option”. Not very nice atmosphere there.

I got the soup of the day, which was a hearty white bean veggie stew. It was very delicious and the atmosphere was nice. Lots of interesting Spanish imports to browse while you wait. Next time I would sit in to enjoy the ambience and try the coffee, which looked very good.

This is a lovely place to go and have a good breakfast, lunch, snack... The waitress is kind and the food is very tasty! There are also some Spanish products that you can purchase and take home. I would definitely recommend it if you want a taste from Spain!

This is a cosy place with good food and wonderful service, the owner is very nice. Highly recommended. They also have a variety of Spanish products on sale.

Good Spanish cafe with plenty of unique and interesting food options - you can sense real care, which staff puts in everyday menus etc. Salads are gigantic and the best!

So cosy, delicious and different. Charming owner and menu very reasonable.

Delightful Spanish food and nice people. Give a try you won't be sad 💫 And a special thanks for Irina who served us 😊

El mejor café bar español de Edimburgo

Un buen desayuno español en pleno Edimburgo! 10/10!

Lovely wee café with an excellent selection and great prices. Dog friendly too!

Nice little cafe. Great coffee, especially the Americano. Really delicious food. Especially the egg tortilla. Plus the owner/operator is very very friendly. Dog friendly establishment as well. Definitely worth a visit.

Fabulous place - friendly, relaxed, great tapas and wine.

Deliciosa comida española a precios muy razonables. Probamos la tortilla española, chorizo al vino, gambas con esparragos y cerdo a la parrilla todo de excelente sabor. Tiene buena selección de vinos. El trato de Rosanna es espectacular. Volveríamos felices.

De los mejores sitios para comer en la ciudad, un saludo a la propietaria por el trato espectacular.

Made to feel very welcome, great standard of food. Sharing board (pictured) was exceptional with authentic Spanish produce. Sister venue to restaurant at Tollcross which will have to try next.

Siempre acogedor, trato inmejorable y todo está buenísimo

Excellent place , with a very nice lady that runs it. Food and drink incredibly good value for money a , as well as being very nice

Unpretentious Spanish café bar.

Un raconet de casa en Edimburg. Bon menjar, amabilitat i productes espanyols de qualitat. Atenció al cuixot que tenen, que està de vici!

Really friendly owner and atmosphere! The food is simple, genuine and delicious.

Cracking little Spanish cafe. Great strong coffee and Tortilla to die for!!

Lovely small cafe, authentic and tasty Spanish food and coffee. Well worth a visit or coffee on the go.

I don’t usually post reviews but I thought this place was quite special. Went on a Saturday night and it was entirely empty except for my parents and I. We were slightly apprehensive at first, but I persevered because of the good reviews. The two ladies were friendly and attentive, the tapas was delish, and the wine was lovely. The pista (fish noodles) was delicious. My parents left happy (and this is no mean feat).

Auténtica cocina española, buenos productos. Podría estar en cualquier lugar de España, pero está aquí en Edimburgo!! Lo lleva Rosana, con muy buena mano 👍

I just had a breakfast before I found here. Nice coffee and staff Love the decorations I’ll come back for tapas definitely!

Great coffee and authentic food. Lovely.

A great little cafe bar, but has plenty of additional space at the back. Fantastic food and very good prices too. I try to visit as often as I can because the staff are so friendly and it's such a nice relaxed atmosphere and the food is always amazing!

Great Spanish Summer drinks. Amazing Spanish food. Sooooo good!!!

Only tried the tortilla so far and was amazing, will definitely be back!

I highly recommend anyone to come here, excellent food, excellent service and a lovely little place to relax and have a seat. Good prices too.

Somewhere different, takes you to an interesting cuisine, savoury delicious pastry pies than you

Charming little place with authentic and competently prepared products

Some nice goodies in there but need more foreign stuff :)

Perfect place for a nice cup of coffee and they also offer a range of products from Spain

Rustic little cafe at the corner. Sells incredible cheese, deli and wines. Great for a quick coffee and cake too!

Try the Serrano sandwich, it’s amazing!

Just walked by and found this place. Really friendly and pleasant. Will be returning in the near future.

I tried contacting the Deli on the website, doesn't work. The business hours on google, and on the Indaba Website AND sellotaped onto the Deli door ARE ALL DIFFERENT.... My partner had to make special arrangements around work just so we could go there only to find out none of the business hours match. And I can't contact Deli via email on their website either....

They stock specialist food and drink from Spanish speaking countries. Friendly staff.

Excellent place, great food, superb service and friendly atmosphere.

Always consistently good food and great wine.

Nada más llegar a Edimburgo comimos en este local y que descubrimiento.Tapas españolas de gran calidad,la tortilla de patatas,el queso,las verduras,el embutido ibérico....todo expectacular.Tambien venden productos españoles de calidad. Esta al lado de los Medows.Rosana la dueña muy agradable y te hace sentir como en casa.Mis hijas tenían que pasar a saludar cada vez que pasábamos cerca.Nos encantó todo.Muy recomendable.

Si quieres comer auténticas tapas españolas tienes que venir. La tortilla de patata es de las mejores que he probado en mi vida. Es un lugar acogedor en el que te tratan como en casa. Repetiré seguro. If you want to eat authentic "Spanish tapas" you have to come. The "tortilla de patata" is one of the best I have ever tasted in my life. It's a cozy place where they treat you like you're at home. I'll repeat for sure.

Gran calidad y variedad, de productos españoles para tomar o llevar. Atención personalizada. En un ambiente muy acogedor. Gracias por la experiencia Rosana

A gem of a place, delicious food and sparkly service

Genial lugar para no echar de menos la gastronomía española en Edimburgo

Great authentic Spanish deli, very reasonable prices. The stuffed squid was a revelation!

Delicious Spanish food. Brilliant for a coffee, some tapas or a night our with friends. Very friendly atmosphere and nice staff.

My favourite lunch in the area. Do yourself a favour get tortilla on a baguette with some alioli. The off-license offers something different for taking across to the Meadows in the sun

Fantastic wee place. Brilliant wines, beers, coffee and food. Excellent service.

Really cozy place. The food is really nice and they have a big selection of Spanish beers (really cheap btw). The meal with the sandwich and the soup is amazing just for £5.

Excellent small selection of tapas, very tasty. Friendly staff and selection of Spanish & African foods. Definitely try the almond cake - I had to take a piece home with me too

Indaba Deli is a lovely and cozy place where you will find spanish products you can buy and also you can enjoy the lovely tapas such as Tortilla and empanadillas which are so tasty accompanied with good wine, while sitting in.When having homesick, I feel welcome every time! Rosana is very friendly and knowledgeable about spanish food and wine and will advise you well when needed ! As a spaniard, I highly recommend this gem in the Meadows!

Great shop! They have Spanish and South African tapas and also a large variety of products in their shop, with really friendly staff. Definitely recommended!

Si quieres encontrar productos Españoles de calidad debes visitar este establecimiento.... Rosana, la dueña, te atenderá personalmente haciéndote sentir como en casa! :) :)

The best place for Spanish food in all Edinburgh!

Inviting friendly wee place that offers lovely tasty snax at reasonable prices ...

What a great little place. Stopped in by to have a fantastic coffee and the best almond cake (you must have a piece!).Was eyeing up the tapas,jambon and the wines. Took a way a piece of tortilla. Will be back for the meats/cheese and tapas!

Proper coffee. Best I've found so far in Edinburgh and reasonably priced!

Estupendo lugar para comer y comprar productos españoles y sudafricanos. Excellent!

Comida mediterránea muy buena pero un poco cara

Nice place n staff close to The Meadows
