"Malvarosa is a relatively new challenger to the Portobello High Street. It brings tapas much closer to my house, and for that I thank Malvarosa. And indeed, I thank and praise it highly, for not only does it bring tapas closer, but it brings gooood tapas closer. The service last night was excellent, great banter with the guy front of house (Vegetarian? What kind of monster are you? I think in Spain, I might be burned as a witch (I jest, I jest . You are made to feel welcome, and not rushed, even when the restaurant were heaving, we were one of the first to arrive and one of the last to leave, supping on tasty sangria and enjoying a good catchup. To the food the menu is quite small, but not in a bad way just don't go in expecting a book of tapas. Malvarosa keeps it succinct but there is still a good amount of choice across meat, fish and vegetable spectrums. Patata bravas good, smoky paprika flavour with a good kick, although could do with a bit more of a hit of the sauce on the potatoes. A warm ensalada of broad beans, artichoke and spinach was delicious (also available with meat, the Spanish vegetarian option, hur hur hur . I'm still enjoying the thought of chickpeas, spinach and sultanas a tagine y style tapas which I couldn't get enough of. I could go on I'll admit, I forgot to ask my dinner date how the meat dishes were so I can't comment on those. I was too busy enjoying mine to think of anything else. For dessert, we tucked into chocolate cake (super rich, bit too heavy for me, with a stomach already groaning from our mains and flan (I got the last one hurrah! flan had a bit of an odd texture, so a little less enjoyable than I had hoped for. Overall, Malvarosa is a lovely place to spend an evening catching up with good friends. No rush, no stress, just good food and good times."

"We recently needed last-minute catering for a group of 20, and Butternut went above and beyond! The food was absolutely delicious, with fresh ingredients and beautiful presentation. Every dish felt crafted with care, and the flavors were spot-on. The team was so accommodating and made the whole process stress-free. Highly recommend Butternut for any catering needs or just a cozy spot to grab a bite. Thank you Food: 5"

"now I was quite disappointed first employee were excellent. but unfortunately the lunch was not l ordered gluten free carbonara traditional (no cream there was an additional fee for gluten free, but I get that they need to cook separately. it also takes a...less to cook so when it arrived in the next few minutes l was surprised more it was penne pasta not spaghetti said it was because it was gluten-free strange than l buy gluten-free spaghetti all the time. and when my friend ordered a small part of her meal and I ordered a full part of my part was like a child. when I was asked if I enjoyed the meal, I said it was very salty, even with a mask his smile disappeared with everyone I was sorry about it. for a small bowl it was so that there was any effort of apology or any rabatt l would consider going back, but sad there was neither . so will not return"

"I had a fantastic meal here last month. I ordered the mushroom dish while my husband had the fish plate. Both dishes were excellently prepared, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I also ordered a cocktail, which was expertly made. Although the restaurant was fully booked, it didn't affect the service at all. The staff were polite and friendly, and we didn't have to wait long for our drinks or our food. I would definitely recommend making a reservation on the weekend."

"Gurkhas is a fantastic establishment! The food is authentic with staff making great recommendations on options. The service is friendly and attentive with staff knowing when to interrupt and when to let you enjoy your meal. The restaurant has good pacing between starters, entrees and mains. The food itself is incredible all the way from sauces with papadums through to mains, with amazing Nepalese tea to finish. Treat yourself to a great meal at Gurkhas!"
