The dishes Ive had have been excellent, and a good range of flavours and textures, even when choosing only from the vegetarian options. Meat / fish options have been very enjoyable too. Service average, but friendly.
Having grown up in South Africa, I was excited when invited to go along to this new South African/Portuguese hybrid restaurant. This place is hidden on a side street in Tollcross and unfortunately the dcor inside and out does nothing for it. If I was looking for somewhere to eat and walked passed this place, I certainly wouldn’t stop. It reminds me of a make-shift road side Shebeen in South Africa with garish colours, tired interior, bad paintings on the wall and chalk boards covered in terrible scribbles of the drinks and dessert menus. (but maybe that’s intentional – well I’d like to think so anyway!).Now don’t let that put you off though. In a strange way, for all its bad points on dcor, it makes up for it in food and customer service. The food is tapas with the Portuguese element taking the centre stage but some great South African dishes like the Dried Wors and Sosaties. They recommend you have 5-6 dishes between 2 people. There were 3 of us and we ordered7 dishes plus dessert. Although the serving are small there was ample food to fill three rumbling bellies.The big bonus is that at least 90% of their menu is gluten free which meant that my friend could easily and happily choose just about anything on the menu without having to dissect it and ask a million questions – they even had GF Cheesecake. We had: DRIED BOEREWORS from John Brash of Murrayfield 3.95 GF. ALBONDIGAS DE LA CASA – home made beef & pork meatballs with pine nuts in stock 5.50 GF. CALAMARES A LA PLANCHA – grilled calamari 5.95 GF. PATATAS BRAVAS- sauteed new potatoes smothered in Indabas spicy tomato sauce3.75 GF. TORRE CADA DE TOMATE, MOZZARELLA Y BERENJENA – fallen tower of Mozzarella, beef tomato, aubergine and basil oil 6.25 GF. TORTILLA ESPANOLA CON PISTO – Spanish potato and onion omelette with vegetable stew 4.75 GF. SPECIAL – JAMON WITH MANCHENGO CHEESE. CHEESECAKE AND ALMONDCAKE. COFFEE BON BONS. As with all tapas restaurants, I don’t find them value for money but I knew that. The food is good. The service is great. Well done Indaba! tartanspoon.co.uk
Delicious. I recommend the veggie options, simple dishes deliciously executed, dessert was very decadent while the tapas were healthy. I have never had actual haggis but the veggie version was yummy!. Great choice of beers. Nice decor and very welcoming owner.
