Indaba Deli

The 2019/20 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).

A spin-off from Tollcross's quietly admired Indaba restaurant, this former corner shop near Summerhall adds another appealing dimension to the cultural swirl of Newington. While droewors can seem a bit incongruous alongside boquerones and bocadillo on the menu, they rub along admirably thanks to the mix-n-match tapas format and the owner's keen eye for decent quality food from whatever source. Good for a toast and cortado breakfast, daily puchero (stew) or a jambon sandwich to munch on a Meadows bench, there are also a few shop shelves with Spanish fish, jams, biscuits as well as home-from-home Saffer favourites including biltong.
