BABA

BABA brings Eastern Mediterranean dining to Edinburgh.

The venue is split between the cocktail bar and the restaurant, where a bespoke charcoal grill acts as the centrepiece of the open kitchen. Here they cook a variety of Scottish lamb, beef and seafood dishes Levantine-style.

The menu is a mixture of traditional mezze – such as hummus with zhug, baba ganoush and muhammara, along with those with a twist, such as their kibbeh pastry featuring haggis instead of lamb. The bar serves up a variety of tasty cocktails, incorporating a variety of spice, pickles, pomegranate, rose, and za’atar.
