"We arrived to Chotto Matte London in a group of six. We was seated at a table suited for six but it did feel small and cramped. We all had £75 per head and was looking forward to our visit. We scanned a barcode for the menu but it wasn’t very user friendly at all. Here are the dishes I ordered and tried Spicy Chicken Karaage nice flavour, good kick and presented well. The coating was nice. Arroz Chaufa I didn’t go past the second try. We had this ordered 3 times around the table, not one person eat it. Felt grainy and didn’t go together Chuleta de Cordero Ahumada the lamb itself was cooked beautifully. I couldn’t get over the toppings of nuts etc, it was very strong. Perfectly cooked meat, but the rest was not up to my personal taste. Pollo Picante now if there is one thing this restaurant cooks wells, it’s the chicken. The chicken is delicious and this for me was the best dish of the evening. Put a smile on my face and topped everything I tried. Yuca Frita this was cassava wedges and was the first thing I tried and it was a lovely start. Tastes nice, soft on the inside and a lovely crust. Chocolate ice cream tasted like it came out of a tub and didn’t bother me. A nice refreshing end. The atmosphere had a certain ambiance. The food is cooked insight and is brought out when it’s made. You order what you’d like and it arrives sporadically. One of the guys around the table has to wait until we had our 3rd or 4th dish for him to get his. The waiters seemed confused as to what dish was delivered. We had a halal eating member on our table but they twice got told “wait, I have your dish so not sure what you’ve been given” as similar looking dishes were mixed up. I won’t say how it ended. The staff were friendly and nice, always helpful too. All in all, I see the quirky side, the idea for service and the design of the menu but it wasn’t for me, and the rest of the team felt the same way. Nice to have experienced this restaurant but I can’t see myself coming again."

"the restaurant was nice and the food was good. but there was a waitress that was not very pleasant with us. I think her name was maria claudia. we arrived at the restaurant 45 minutes before our booking and asked if we could sit earlier. there was a warmer who told us to go in and choose a table, but I wanted to check with the waitress first. I asked maria claudia, and she said, without checking anything and rudely, that they have kept and cannot put us before our reserved time. although the restaurant was completely empty up to two tables. that has not disturbed us, as we knew that our booking was still 45 minutes away, and it could actually make reservations before us. We sat but exactly opposite the restaurant and could see the whole restaurant and tables. we waited 45 minutes, and during this time only one or two tables were used and the rest was all empty. but we went to our reserved time. after visiting the menu we had few asking for the waitress, so we called maria claudia. she seemed to answer as if she really didn't want to answer our questions, she always looked away and rolled the eyes here. we asked them about an article in the menu, if it can be exchanged for something else, they answered no I don't think that 's what's on the menu, so I asked them not think, or are they safe? she said I don't think we can do it. So I asked her politely to check with the cook, she agreed, but never came back to inform us. we were then served by two other waitresses who were both very professional and nice."
