BABA in Edinburgh

Amazing food and lovely atmosphere and decor! I asked for a quiet table for my partners birthday and we received a beautiful table in the corner of a seperate room which was amazing.Unfortunately the service from our waiter was not good and I didn't receive a small birthday candle on my partners dessert. I had kindly asked if it was at all possible and was told it was not a problem.Other than the miserable service received and the birthday request accepted and not followed through, it was a very nice meal and experience.

Amazing, I'll say it again amazing! The food here is absolutely beautiful. Service is quick and the small plates allow you to try a lot of what they have on offer. It's not what I thought I'd be having when coming to Edinburgh. I can recommend this to anyone and if you are in Edinburgh you must try.

Really lovely restaurant, we were very impressed. Despite some previous reviews, we found that service was generally very friendly, although slow to to take our drinks order. Highlights were the cauliflower fritters, chicken leg grill and the olive oil sponge, although all the food was delicious & packed with flavour. We were advised that a snack/mezze, grill and side per person would be sensible and found this to be good advice. Definitely not cheap though.

A masterful culinary experience! The atmosphere is decadent - we were there on a night they took over rooms from the neighboring hotel (which we were told they do when busy on the weekends). But the real show stopper was the food. So flavorful, amazing texture combinations. Highly recommend especially for vegetarians. The grilled artichoke and falafel plate was unrivaled.

Delicious lamb shwarma on hummus, cauliflower fritters, and sweet potato! Also got the lamb shoulder on the couscous which was fantastic.We also got the aubergine but wasn’t really a fan of it.

Absolutely AMAZING experience! The service was so friendly and helpful. I think it was Carlos I had who made nice recommendations and was really attentive. 😊 The food was SUBLIME! Everything is so fresh, well seasoned and the menu is thoughtful and a wonderful presentation of Levantine cuisine. The rose and lemon cocktail was very well balanced. The hummus dip with pine nuts was the best I've had and the pitta was topped up throughout. 😆The cauliflower fritters are not to be underestimated- they were just as hearty as a meat side dish and nice and crunchy. 🤤 The chicken and chargrilled corn was a deliciously rich plate that was wonderfully spiced and succulently cooked. I was taking notes for my own home cooking. 😅 Really beautiful decor, clean toilets and great atmosphere. Definitely going to visit this place the next time I'm in Edinburgh! 😍

Word can't express experiance which we had.Amazing food, very nice atmosphere, prime location in affordable prices. Waiter very polite and well trained - I've asked for advice in whisky and everything was delivered to my expectations.Very good kids menu with posh twist. Our boy had cheeseburger with chips and even this looked and tasted like 3 stars 🌟We went for mezes and lamb shoulder is something which I'll never forget. When yiu taste dish time will stop. If you're a foodie definitely should go for it.Again thank you BABA this memories which definitely will stay with me for a long time.

Amazing staff and wonderful food. be sure to make a reservation because they stay full. Try as much as you can and don’t worry if you are traveling solo they have a great communal dining table where I had excellent conversation and enjoyed my meal. Most items are meant to be shared.

One of my favourite places in Edinburgh. I’ve been coming to this place on and off for years and it never disappoints. Great atmosphere, food is incredible and prices are pretty reasonable for the quality you get. Service is also impeccable. I’d easily recommend it for anyone visiting Edinburgh!

Great experience at a very reasonable price. Hummus and muhammara were some of the best we've ever had! Falafels and lentils were great as well. We also had the blackened potato and the cauliflower, but we were not as excited with those, as with the rest. The number of dishes we've ordered were actually too many for us (3 per person), so you may want to keep it to a lower level. Atmosphere was amazing and staff were friendliest ever. Definitely recommend to visit.
