Since its arrival on the thriving Edinburgh culinary
scene, Baba has been causing a stir. The
restaurant’s cuisine is inspired by the flavours of
the Levant and provides snacks, mezze, desserts,
cocktails and mains from its grill. The exotic
dishes are perfect for sharing, or order a large
portion to yourself. Open from midday daily, relax
in the opulently designed interior, which combines
the artistry of the east, with contemporary urban
style. Enjoy spicy, colourful creations that’ll
tantalise your taste buds. An express menu
providing a snack, pitta, dip and main is provided
for weekday lunches, or peruse the main menu
to explore the full range - try labneh balls, iberico
pork neck, chuck eye steak, black trout and much
more. Baba’s unique cocktail list is well worth
checking out too, with ingenious options such as
the Jumping Goat, Sofi Fizz and Barberry Sour.

great-value food, here on Rose Street. The

Greek colours of blue and white, with attractive
artwork on the walls and rustic wooden seating.
