Cafe Andaluz Stockbridge — Restaurant in City of Edinburgh

I had a meal delivered, and was mostly happy with my meal. There was plenty of choice for vegetarians, which is great. Portions were on the small side, though the wonderful padron peppers - great texture, not scorched, not salty - were generous. The potato gratin was the best I've ever had, and the Spanish omelette had a wonderful texture - dense but not dry or heavy - but no seasoning at all. The mushrooms - very small portion -were tasty. The Andaluz salad was delicious: lots of delicious textures and a tasty dressing. I wasn't a fan of the garlic bread, which was okay but had no real garlic flavour. The aubergine - my favourite veg - was a major disappointment. It comprised three thin slices from the thin end of the aubergine, with no dressing whatsoever, despite its description as having a yogurt and pomegranate dressing. This is ridiculous, since they are charging as much for three tiny slices of aubergine as they are for the much more expensive meat and fish tapas. I often find restaurant food much too salty and/or greasy: the Andaluz dishes I ordered were neither. I'd order from them again, but sad about...

I recently visited this restaurant and was initially impressed by its warm and inviting vibe. The decor is thoughtfully done, creating a cozy and enjoyable atmosphere. The service was excellent, with attentive staff making sure we were well taken care of throughout the meal. As for the food, most of the dishes were flavorful and satisfying.

However, I was disappointed with the prawn dishes. The texture and taste of the prawns seemed unnatural, reminiscent of seafood treated with chemicals like sodium bisulfite, sodium tripolyphosphate, phosphate and borax. These additives can alter the natural texture and flavor of prawns, and they raise significant health concerns for me. This issue left me feeling uneasy and ultimately detracted from an otherwise pleasant dining experience.

We were here to celebrate family reunion, and the prawn quality made me feel regretful about the experience. While the restaurant excels in ambiance, service, and other dishes, I sincerely hope they take steps to address the quality of their seafood to provide a more trustworthy and safer dining experience for...

I was so disappointed in Cafe Andeluz tonight, as a customer of the restaurant for some years, I have noticed a significant decline in the quality and quantity of food.

I attended the restaurant alongside my friend where we ordered 6 tapas dishes which in the past was more than enough! However, the dishes we ordered were extremely poor not just in quality but quantity.

When ordering a dish at the ten pound mark you expect a certain level of quality. The chicken thighs were unseasoned, bland, small and not only that there were two of them. Prawns were dwarfed by the dish they were served within and again just not up to standard. Black pudding was the saving grace in the meal and was enjoyable, however nothing special. I’m not even going to waste my time critiquing the other dishes.

In conclusion the atmosphere is always vibrant and enjoyable, staff are always relatively helpful and friendly. However to spend this kind of money and leave a restaurant disappointed and still hungry is frustrating and frankly extremely disappointing, don’t waste your time or money go...
