  “Very disappointing unfortunately . My partner had been a few months ago and raved about it so we decided to go together . The sriracha mushrooms I will never understand. Boiled soggy mushrooms you couldnt taste . Strange texture in a pool of overpowering sricha. The steak with butter had absolute no flavour . Not seasoned and I could swear the butter was more like flora margarine again not seasoned . The sliders ( pork and njudu) very basic , dry and little meat to roll ratio more like a bad party snack . The chicken tenders were tasty but again basic and could be crispier . The sauce that came with it was unbelievably bland . The only dish that was good was the Asparagus. My partner did mention before it was unreal so im not sure whats happened but it was genuinely one of the worst if not the worst weve had . The staff were great . There was a few things that weren't available. We were in a hurry to catch a train and the waiter was great and did mention there had been a good few complaints and took 50% off the bill without any kind of hassle . It would be hard to return as it was really a waste of money with alot of good restaurants in dundee .”

  “First time in Dundee ever and Black Mamba offered two great dining experiences in two opposite atmospheric situations. Da welcome is great, so friendly and genuine. Da food menu proved so generously varied and appetising. ...Hey, we are talking tapas here! Da cocktail menu is equally exciting! Everything is delicious. 🙌🏻🎉😍 Just book your table imperatively on graduation days / to avoid disappointment. (!) It is a "must". Overall, two fabulous experiences to be repeated on a future visit!”

  “I had a fantastic experience at Black Mamba last night! Food was delicious, featuring a great variety of dishes to choose from. What really stood out though was the phenomenal service. Staff checked on us regularly for drink refills and to ensure that everything was perfect. My only critique is that it’s a bit of a shame the system doesn’t allow you to leave tips for the wonderful stuff via card payments. Bring cash!”

  “My partner and I decided to try Black Mamba after seeing how popular it is, but the experience was frustrating from start to finish. We booked in advance and were told we’d have a window seat, which we were happy about. However, when we arrived, we were placed right next to the door at a cramped high table that was clearly meant for drinks—not for having a proper meal, and barely suitable even for one person. Every time someone entered or left, we had to shuffle around to avoid being hit by the door. It was uncomfortable and poorly thought out. After this kept happening, we asked to change tables but were told nothing was available and were asked to come back in an hour—with no guarantee of a better table. We returned nearly an hour later and were finally seated properly, only for things to go downhill again. When we looked at the menu, we were told that more than half of it wasn’t available. This left very limited options, especially for vegetarian or protein-based dishes, and most of the popular items were unavailable. It made the menu feel pointless and not at all appetising. The food itself was just as disappointing. The pork nduja slider was cold and completely tasteless. The salt and pepper calamari felt like cheap, store-bought food. The Thai coconut prawn dish had a decent broth, but the prawns were undercooked. The bread with cheese and pomegranate was probably the only thing that was acceptable. The drinks didn’t redeem the experience either. We specifically asked for something spicy, and were given what was meant to be a spicy margarita—which was weak, unbalanced, and not even close to a proper margarita. The “Black Jam” cocktail was okay, but nothing memorable. Overall, this place is seriously overrated. Poor seating, limited menu availability, underwhelming food, and disappointing drinks. Definitely not worth the hype, and we left feeling very unsatisfied.”

  “My friend and I dined in at this lovely place today, the serving staff was amazing, very warm & friendly, he recommended the Korean Fried Oyster Mushrooms with a side of the bread that came with a Sriracha spread, it was simply to die for! The Thai Coconut Prawn was delicious too! Will surely come again! Beautiful atmosphere, service and gorgeous food!”

  “Delicious and exciting food and cocktails! The oyster mushrooms were my favourite. Excellent friendly service too, and a lovely buzz in the restaurant. Would have got more pics but we couldn't wait to start eating!”

  “We visited earlier today after a recommendation from a friend and my goodness it did not disappoint. We were there lunch and had 6 tapas dishes between us and they were all amazing. The staff were super friendly, the atmosphere was lovely, music was a wee bit eclectic but wasn’t annoying. The food was all fresh and delicious. The menu had something for everyone. As we were seated we were given fresh water, without having to ask, which we thought was a really nice touch. We will definitely be back and hopefully for cocktails as they looked amazing!”

  “A very nice place to eat and enjoy your beer. It's not exactly what we (my partner and I) had in mind when we heard about a tapas restaurant (e.g., Spanish tapas) but it didn't matter. The food was delicious and I would say very good value for money. The decor was also nice and I would suggest it either for lunch/dinner or even just drinks. I cannot recommend only one food because everything was tasty and each one of the dishes had its personal character. We will definitely go back again! PS. Sorry for the missing food in the pictures but we couldn't wait to try. 😅”

  “Delicious tapas and excellent service. We were quickly seated and served with drinks, then made our food order. For two, we had six dishes which was enough to fill us, without going overboard. The tapas arrived within about 10 minutes (although it was early in the evening) which was great. Food was all delicious. Korean fried chicken and code fritters were both beautiful. I had a minor criticism of the pork belly being quite tough and dry but minor mistake given how brilliant everything else was. The fries were also fantastic although the citrus mayo is not something you could have a massive amount of. Price was far cheaper than I expected. We were around £65 for 6 dishes, two cocktails and two pints which I felt was great. Can’t wait to come back and try some more dishes.”
