MaRobert's - Tanzanian/East African Cuisine — Restaurant in City of Edinburgh

MaRobert's Cafe is an oasis when you are seeking food and drink that's hearty, filling, and healthy along with delicious. Not many restaurants in Edinburgh serve great portions of veggies and protein, but at MaRobert's you can get food that fuels you and makes you feel amazing afterward, like rice, greens, vegetarian curry, chicken thigh, roasted plantains, and more. This delicious Tanzanian cafe can fuel you to enjoy sightseeing in the area or just to enjoy the rest of your day.

Their coffee, specifically the cappuccino, is exquisitely smooth, silky, and slightly nutty in a special and magic way. I'm not sure what beans they use, but they are unlike any other coffee I've had and very pleasantly tasty. Their portion size for the coffee is also very generous, and everything comes out piping hot and fresh.

Not to mention MaRobert's has free wifi, outlets for chargers, and NEVER puts your table on a timer, so it's super friendly for students, remote work, and all your other everyday needs. I truly felt like I could kick back and enjoy my entire day at this peaceful and bright cafe, drinking too much coffee and eating nutritious, flavorful food.

Every member of the staff is so naturally friendly that you feel you can gain genuine friendships as a regular as well as a positive experience. It is a very comfortable and social atmosphere, and the staff is so thoughtful that they will make you feel welcomed even into casual conversations. When I had to move away at the end of my school program, I was devastated because of how much I'll truly miss chatting with the staff members, sharing the best and funniest parts of our day, and enjoying the weather no matter the season. MaRobert's goes above and beyond in every way with customer service and really cares for you before you ever have to ask. A glass of water, napkins, opening the door to let the sun in, are all extra touches that the staff constantly provide without me ever asking, every time I was there. That seemed little at first, but when you're there you feel amazing and you end up wanting to come back for the day-brightening atmosphere along with the deliciousness!

To the staff, Skye, Maggie, Meeka, and everyone else I didn't get a chance to meet, thank you so much for welcoming me and making my year in Edinburgh more beautiful than I could have imagined! With love and...

We went here after I read that most of their menu was naturally gluten free & they had a good reputation for no cross-contamination. I was not disappointed! Despite arriving near closing time, we were welcomed in & at no point did we feel rushed to leave (I know the pain of customers "overstaying their welcome" from a staff pov so would never do it to anyone) The service was lovely, food was very tasty & such good value. Now one of my faves in Edinburgh & I'll be back...

Head on in! And give it a try! 😁✨ That's my recommendation to you... it's a hidden gem that I thought I'd be brave to try with brilliant results... I'd never previously had Tanzanian food or known much about it, but found the menu really affordable with the options to mix and match really accessible (I today had a lovely chickpea curry with roasted chicken which I really enjoyed!.) The service too was also really friendly and super quick making the visit really nice all...
