LuciaAugust 1, 2014This place is amazing! Go for midweek lunch, the set menu is £12.95 and amazing value, (share everything) - great food and full portions, great service - will definitely be going there again, a lot!- Peter WMay 14, 2014Some of the most innovative and delicious tapas in North London. Friendly, knowledgable staff and a buzzing atmosphere. Definitely my local favourite!
Matthew FordMay 14, 2017After trying most tapas places in London by now, this place is the best. All seafood is good, the artichoke was excellent
Gilly ThorneJuly 26, 2018Beautiful intimate buzzing place. Octopus dish, fennel dish, pork belly dish, watermelon dish - recommend all! All plates highly thought about with tastes, textures and presentation!
- Good quality of the ingredients. Montaditos, chipirones, mamchego... Everything was so tasty. Very good service too.
- Gilly ThorneJuly 26, 2018Cocktails yummy and well thought out - and clearly so is wine list as the house white wine (only £20) was good!
James SaltAugust 26, 2013Really enjoyable tapas restaurant. Modern, fresh and tasty food. A great atmosphere; would recommend for couples but not large parties.
Nadia SemenchukOctober 9, 2016Breakfasts are very good here. But after 3 pm they serve only tapas. I had two tapas, paid 20£ and was hungry in the end - the portions are just very small for that price
Federica De DominicisAugust 8, 2014Delicious foods and drinks and lovely staff! They have a great value menu at lunch!! Try the prawns, heavenly!
Chris KrumNovember 2, 2018Cozy atmosphere to spend the night drinking sangria and tasting delicious tapas!
Yasmin YazdaniMarch 25, 2014Great vibe and food. The service was a bit too fast though. The beef fillet is excellent.- Matthew FordFebruary 22, 2015The deep fried baby squid was amazing, desert a bit of a let down but overall a good meal
- Eamonn CareyFebruary 28, 2015Excellent breakfasts here. Baked avocado, bacon and eggs are a particular treat.
Yiota PapOctober 6, 2016cute little tapas place. very friendly service. the food was tasty but portions were a bit small
Natalia ZNovember 6, 2013Great food, great Granada waiters and good cook. Recommended for Spanish food.
This isn't just tapas - it's Thai/Italian fusion : think risotto and cannelloni.
Kiara MarchJuly 1, 2015Food is ok, but overpriced. Portions are small. Staff is careless, we had to wait a lot of time for everything as they were talking to each other at the bar.
Jerome CourtialJune 19, 2013Nice place. Food is good not great and service can be really hit and miss.
Benjamin SchneiderJuly 7, 2013Food here was not great. All very salty and not very tasty. Good manchego, but that was about it. There are better tapas on Upper Street.
Philippe LegrainAugust 20, 2016Why the good reviews? Food tasteless, service poor. If you want good tapas nearby, go to Morito in Exmouth Market
Valentina Dal MasJuly 31, 2016Slow slow service. Tables not really clean. Food ha too much oil. Decent. But would not come back.
Can AksoyMay 7, 2018Kokteyl, tapas ve daha niceleri mükemmel demek az kalır. Çalışanlar cana yakın, sıcak.. Fiyatlarsa oldukça uygun!

Joan Cardona - 6.0
"I always go mid-week and it's a pretty pleasant experience. The seats are comfy and the screen and sound quality is excellent. A little overpriced but then so is everywhere in London."
