    Hadn't been in years, even started going there in late 90's! Food was lovely and, as a local hospitality group, you know it's not mass produced food etc. Our server was lovely, happy with the optional 13% service charge for him. Will definitely be back on my map.

    The mocktails were incredible and still can’t believe they were alcohol free as they tasted amazing
    Indigo YardResponded on October 5, 2026
    Thank you so much for the lovely review. We are thrilled that our mocktails impressed you and that they tasted so vibrant despite being alcohol free. We put a lot of care into our drink recipes, so it is wonderful to hear they hit the mark. Thanks, Indigo Yard

    Enjoyable lunch with former colleague but our chicken dishes from the set menu took over 40 minutes ro arrive- chicken with salad! Our server did apologise but it would be fair to say that Indido Yard was not particularly busy.
    Indigo YardResponded on September 20, 2026
    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re pleased you chose to spend your lunch with us, but we’re sorry that your meal took longer than expected. This isn’t the experience we aim to provide, particularly when the restaurant is quieter. We appreciate your patience and are grateful for your understanding, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide a smoother experience next time.

    Always a good staple when I’m in Edinburgh- lovely vibe, nice staff and service , decent wine list and a good set meal Combo to choose from with 2 or 3 courses. Personally I liked the haggis balls previously to the more potato content croquet on the menu this time for a more flavourful witty starter Definitely a good place for a meal to enjoy
    Indigo YardResponded on September 20, 2026
    Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We’re delighted to be a regular favourite when you’re in Edinburgh, and we really appreciate your kind words. We hope to see you again soon!

    Service was really poor due to a large party delaying smaller groups orders. Cannot fault the waiting staff who were extremely apologetic about the long delays and certainly reflected this in the final invoice. The slow cooked squid & chorizo starter should carry a warning on the menu that it is extremely hot flavour as two guests found it too hot to handle.
    Indigo YardResponded on September 12, 2026
    Hi Thomas, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry that your visit didn’t go as smoothly as it should have, particularly with the wait for your food. We’re glad our team kept you informed and did their best to make amends. We also appreciate your feedback on the squid & chorizo starter. We’ll certainly review how we describe the dish so guests have a clearer idea of the flavour profile before ordering. Thank you again for your understanding and for highlighting both the positives and areas we can improve. We hope to have the opportunity to give you a much better experience next time.

    Very comfortable table for a large group..Good choice of food, and thankfully not too noisy, which made conversation possible, and enjoyable!! Excellent service and food was very good. Wines were quite reasonably priced. All in all, a very pleasant experience! Mxx
