Busy for a reason.Authentic, well prepared food at fair prices.Wine list is short but good choices.Booking on match days is essential.

Such a lovely place for dinner, we sat outside with blankets and it was very cosy. Service was outstanding, staff are so friendly and welcoming. Food was delicious with good size portions and best of all they are v dog friendly!

Food was average, the waiter was lovely but the manager was very rude, aggressive and intimidating. We didn’t want to pay the service charge which is actually optional as it states on the gov website, but he was having none of it and stormed over to us and asked us what the problem is with a frown on his face. He was so intimidating that one of my friends ended up just paying the £20 SC so he would let us leave.I won’t be returning unfortunately as that kind of attitude is not very nice.

Go in here every time we go to watch Chelsea. Great little place for beers, however, last time I was overcharged and I believe it was deliberate. Such a shame, but won’t trust them again.

A wonderful evening spent here. Food was excellent, location is great and the outdoor seating on a summer evening was fab. Staff friendly, good drinks choice.

Opted for the set lunch menu, which we had to request upon being left with the regular menu. For starters, the charcuterie board was nice but the pork skewers were dry and tasteless. The paellas (seafood and chicken) were pleasant and the portion size was really decent. Service was lovely, it was nice to sit outside with blankets offered.

Poor food, thats not Spanish. The waiter is rude, when you ask for tap water he refuses and brings you bottled? When you ask to remove the service charge because he is rude, arrogant, the food is cold, salty and not enjoyable, he refuses? Never go here. Overpriced for this food.

Almost 3 years on since my last Chelsea home game and I arrived early enough (c545pm) on Wed 30 Aug to secure an outside table at my favourite pre match restaurant, which is a short walk from Stamford Bridge stadium. Always a friendly welcome and I love the food and drink here. On this occasion, an Estrella beer while reviewing the menu and then 3 tapas dishes (grilled sardines, sauteed chicken breast and potato with a light garlic mayonnaise) with a large glass of the house red wine. All good portion sizes for tapas and all superb ! Point to note - it was cash only (this may be a match day arrangement).

I came here after delivering my 18yo niece to BIMM, opposite. Excellent food. I had tripe madrileña - if you're not sure about tripe, do give this paprika-rich, soup/stew a try, you'll love it. And padrón peppers and fried, sliced aubergine ("berenjenas"). All excellent. Service was reserved, there when you wanted it, not annoyingly in your face - perfectly judged. I hope I'll have an excuse to go again.

Superb service with wide variety of choices. It was my dad's first experience having Spanish cuisine and he enjoyed all dishes.

I always go to this restaurant when I visit London. The food is wonderful and very authentic. The staff is professional, attentive and kind. The best Spanish tapas in London!
