"We went on a Saturday night but had pre booked. It was busy but not overly. It took 5 minutes to be acknowledged, a further 5 to be seated, 20 minutes for our order to be taken and roughly 45-50 minutes for us to receive (some) of our order. Given we had a 2 year old with us was a bit frustrating as by the time the food came, there was no interest in eating. We were looking for where the food was cooked and more than disappointed with it being microwaves in the centre of the restaurant. Staff in “kitchen” were on their phones and unbothered about getting orders out. We didn’t even receive some of our order, which hadn’t even been taken off the bill. The food was cold, staff didn’t care for our custom and food “cooked” in a microwave-oven. Not worth the £6-£10 for each dish"

"an improbable evening of the week led us to dinner in la lluna. it had come at the right time when a day was a bit of an attempt that helps to wonder with special tight friends. la lluna has the brightly illuminated clobular sign that will make you smile immediately. entering the restaurant is actually quite large. palms, many padded seating, high tables and chairs, window seats, a large bar area make this restaurant welcome. light, airy, clean and spacious with a red and white thema makes the restaurant area. a huge, striking painting that seems to be the sign image for la lluna covers the entire back wall."

"Ordered olives to start with, £4 for only 7 olives which were not very nice, came out of a very large jar. Mentioned to waiting staff who said they were Spanish olives. Wouldn’t order them again. My friend and I had the Canarian chicken skewers which were very nice but the accompanying potatoes were soft and soggy. Waiting staff were friendly and accommodating. One male member of staff who was either behind the bar or just walking around the restaurant area was wearing scruffy jeans with a large rip in the back and white trainers that were absolutely filthy. Not sure what position he held but he looked totally unprofessional. When we received the bill there was a 12.5% service charge added which we felt we should have been told about on asking for the bill. We did ask for this to be removed and we left a cash tip."

"Horrendous customer service. I booked at table and they gave me a tiny table that one person would struggle to sit at never mind two. Tried to ram us in between two other tables were the people would have been nearly on top of each other. We complained and asked for another table they said yes but you will have to leave by and my table was booked for So we had to eat and drink and be out in Owner was ignorant and extremely unhelpful said they are fully booked so canât help yet place was not even half full. Wonât be back. Place has become more about profit than quality and customer service."

"We were disappointed by the location, I hadn't realised that it was positioned in a shopping centre! So really it was more suited to shoppers and travellers as it was quite near the train station. We arrived early so expected to wait, but the waiter kept giving us different times for when the table would be ready and that was annoying. Also, they wouldn't serve us a drink whilst we waited. The food was good and generally the staff were lovely and helpful. However, I wouldn't go there again."

"What a shame a good location and an excellent menu BUT. Several items from the menu were 'not available ' despite it being prime time on a Saturday evening. The same applied to the wine list. The food itself was very good when it was eventually received: several members of the staff seemed overwhelmed and poorly trained."

"these are dotted around london and I was always thrilled by the facility. it looks like a deli with all the hanging jamon, then there is the tapas bar and also a casual sitting restaurant vibe. behind the bar, you will see the display of various Spanish meats and be ready to be cut, plated and served.With a friend in the city and a group of us want to entertain him, nothing completely fits like a tapas sharing experience. equipped with my taste card we drove to holborn for our reserved table. the Holborn site is large, open and airy. high ceiling, large windows above the front and beautifully spaced tables/sele. we sat in a corner that was good, as I knew, that we would probably get a little rainy. if you haven't seen a friend for a long time, of course, the wee, the remembrances are reappearing and the sweat burst. Having ordered a white and red wine from a Spanish wine list that ranged from aragon to toro, we studied the tapas menu for our choices. we went for every food group, with classy like pimento pardon and kartoffel bravas, to some lush gambas pil pil (king prawns in olive oil with garlic and chili). grilled chestnut mushrooms with Spanish blue cheese and garbanzo con chorizo (chorizo, kichererbsen, Piquillo pepper with pimento). a selection of Spanish cheeses and estofado de cerdo (a basque stew of slowly boiled pork, with carrots and carrots). it was a good cross-section of the food that was very tasty. it was enough for us four. I would be interested in a future visit, as there is nothing like Spanish meat. / mas q menos is a really relaxing place, ideal for getting friends. the service was nice, our waiter spoke about Spanish, recommended some dishes and led us through the wine list. we will definitely visit again and with off-food with tastecard, it makes the experience even sweeter."

"This is a great place with friendly staff and delicious food. We chose it because we love Spanish cuisine and it definitely lived up to our expectations, we really enjoyed the food. The special offer that starts at 11 where all tapas can be eaten for a low price is highly recommended. The restaurant is easy to find and has a nice location. The only issue we encountered was on Sunday when we planned to visit, we were able to reserve a table starting at 10:45 but the restaurant didn't open until 11, which was a bit confusing. It's a good idea to make a reservation, especially on weekends."

"We absolutely adore Taperia! This hidden gem in Thornton Heath always greets us with a warm welcome and provides excellent service. The food is phenomenal - authentic, generous, and simply delicious. During our latest visit, we tried the paella for the first time and found it to be a great value for the price. We even had leftovers to enjoy the next day. The variety of tapas available is impressive, catering to everyone's tastes. While the lamb chops are a standout, our personal favorites are the dates wrapped in bacon and the croquettes. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner, a family outing, or a nice mid-week meal, Taperia is the perfect choice. We can't wait to come back soon, as it truly is a fantastic dining experience."

"we love wallpaperria! it is a jewel in thornton heath. each time we visited, we had such a friendly welcome and the service is excellent. eating is amazing. it is authentic, generous and simply delicious. we had the paella for the first time this visit and it is such a good value for money. we ended up with a Doggy bag to enjoy it the next day. the tapas selection is huge and there is something for everyone there. The lammings are amazing, but our favorites are the termine in speck and the croquettas. I would recommend wallpaperria if they wish a romantic dinner, a family visit or just a nice place to dinner with the week. it's just brilliant and we'll be back soon."

"We booked a table for on a Saturday evening for three people, When we arrived the restaurant was pretty empty bar two tables upstairs. We were seated and left with menus for The very young waitress came and took our orders. Our drinks...were a pint, a orange squash and one cocktail. We waited for these and received nothing, our first bits of food arrived before our drinks. When the food arrived we had no cutlery and no plates so we asked for these, the attitude on the server was as though we had asked for his life. How dare we enter a restaurant and want cutlery and plates to eat off. We also asked for our drinks( remember that really difficult order we placed, beer , squash and a cocktail) Eventually our drinks turned up but still no plates or cutlery so the dishes that had arrived where slowly going cold on our table whilst we stared at them wishing we could eat them. When a different waiter passed by we asked him for plates and cutlery and within seconds he brought them along with our other dishes. The first dishes were cold by this time so we asked for them to be reheated. Again we were faced with attitude and rudeness by the server (Andrew i think he was called) How dare we ask for our food to be hot or at least warm enough to eat. Andrew offered to reheat the dishes and return, he never did. We ate the few dishes we were left with which were hot enough and then left, as we went downstairs to pay we were faced with a bill featuring several of the dishes we hadn't received and being charged full price for the ones we had and had had to return due to being cold. Andrew had told us we could have the bill half price due to the shocking service and attitude he showed and yet the bill did not reflect this. We eventually came to an agreement on the bill and left. ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING SERVICE. There was a table of who waited about just for drinks and then decided to leave, a couple behind us who hadn't even had a drinks order taken after an hour and a poor couple who were just about to sit when we left. We warned them not to bother, Unless they fancied a very long night. We will not be back and i warn anyone who does visit, take a book and maybe even your PJs and a change of clothes, your in for a long wait."

"The staff at this restaurant are charming and welcoming, the food was delicious and served in generous portions (we had to take some home), and the sangria was amazing. This hidden gem in the heart of Camberwell also has a great atmosphere with a mix of 80s tunes and Latin music. I highly recommend this place, I went for my nan's birthday and will definitely be returning."
"We booked a table on a Sunday evening for 3 people. The first waitress who served us was quite abrupt and didn’t like us asking if we could move tables. (Even though the restaurant was empty) The one she had put is on was extremely dark as the lights above were out. The restaurant is already dimly lit and this meant we would have been struggling to see anything at all. After this, they had pretty much run out of everything on the menu, which became pretty comical by the end. They even had no fruit for the sangria! However the other waiter, was so funny and entertaining (even under stressful circumstances) it was hard not to have a great evening! The food (that was available) was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed it. A great night, we would go back, but I would find it hard to recommend on my experience"

"I had never been here before and also never eaten tapas, so I was really unsure what to expect. It was a lovely evening. The staff were amazing, ready to answer my questions and very attentive. The food was brilliant. Full of flavour and good portion sizes, everything was cooked to order. I would definitely recommend the paella. As a treat or a special occasion I would definitely go there again."

"I decided to take advantage of the free tapas offer on Wednesdays and made a reservation for two at this restaurant. Unfortunately, the tapas were not very tasty and it seemed like the chef didn't put much effort into them. The same two tapas were served over and over again and the staff couldn't provide much information about the selection. I ended up ordering food because I was not satisfied with the free tapas. The paid food was average, but there was a mix-up with my order. Overall, I was not pleased with my experience and I don't think I will be returning to this restaurant."

"Wonderful restaurant. Hidden gem behind Clapham North tube..its really big inside. I received a really warm greeting from the owner Luigi who is a real character. This is a great venue for any parties, social clubs, people celebrating their birthdays. The space is really flexible and they have large bar too with great cocktails. The food is really excellent. This is my 3rd visit and each time I've tried different plates. This time I had the halloumi starter which was tasty with fresh tomato and garlic. They halloumi is rolled in almonds which is a great touch. Very light, not greasy at all. For my main I had the Shrimp with coconut and rice. This is a fantastic tasty dish using fresh shell on giant prawns- so delicious! They've got a good choice of wines too and side dishes. I had no room for dessert. This place deserves to be packed every night as it's a family run, quality establishment and not one of these tired chain bar/pub places. Highly recommend."

"The team at Tapelia provided absolutely fantastic service. It was a special occasion as it was my birthday, anniversary, and my son's birthday. I requested something special and they went above and beyond to make it memorable. They decorated a tasteful area for a party of 7 with a beautiful birthday banner. The service was excellent and we were pleasantly surprised with a free chocolate cake and a shot of something nice. Overall, it was an amazing experience and I highly recommend this restaurant."
