Wahaca - Edinburgh

Shared the vegan menu for 2. Plenty of great food and a good price, great drink options too. Had to get the churros afterwards!

A lot of options for vegetarians, several of which are vegan or can be veganised. Had the whole food salad with roasted cauliflower. The hibiscus juice is very refreshing Updated from previous review on 2022-08-08

Vegan options clearly marked and plenty of them, including deserts. There’s also a Separate vegan menu. Very transparent about cross contamination too

Wahaka has a separate vegan menu. Everything we tried is super flavoursome and just bang on ! They even have free blant based dishes throughout January ! Cocktails and Mezcal is top tier and the service is very accommodating! 10/10 recommended

I appreciated the key that let you know if something was fried in shared oil so you could avoid cross contamination, and a full menu of vegan options. However, despite avoiding those dishes, notifying the staff of my allergy, and the manager taking my order as a result, I got to wake up hours later with a swollen tongue and hives. If allergies aren’t a concern for you and you have non-vegan loved ones, you may want to go here, but if you like spicy food like me as well as being vegan this is not the place- the vegan nachos were great, but the faux chicken taco was just okay and the black bean quesadilla was really plain- it tasted like literally just beans and violife. Overall, food was pricey for what it was and ‘meh’, and I obviously can’t recommend it after mr allergy flare, but I will say it’s obvious that any cross contamination was incredibly minor as this is a very mild reaction for me, so they did at least try.
