Really great food. Went on a Sunday and there was a flamenco performer who was amazing - the waiter was so charming and funny. Everything was great, not a single complaint. £30 each for two jugs of sangria and tonnes of food !

We were wandering around Islington London and happened upon this tapas restaurant. Excellent food and service. The tapas were tasteful and the wine pairings the server recommended were right on spot. Will eat here again on my next trip to London.

Stumbled into this place after a night out at off west end theatre with a friend and couldn't be happier we did - really excellent tapas with a very wide menu. The atmosphere and personnel are lovely (a personal shout out to Alberto, who I think is the owner or general manager and really made us feel at home) and they really make you feel like you've been tele transported to Spain. 100% recommend.

Booked this tapas restaurant for a family night away in London. A little more out of the centre where we normally book but what a great find. The service was spot on and very friendly. The food was varied and tasty although the platters could have done with a little more on the plate. Saying that we would return.

I felt like I was back in Spain- the tapas were delicious, hot and fresh, good quality ingredients. I especially enjoyed the croquetas and the gambas al pil pil. Service was wonderful as well, the head waiter was so friendly and welcoming
