Centro Galego de Londres in Brent

Upon a friend's recommendation, I ventured into this restaurant, and what I discovered inside was truly extraordinary. Despite its unassuming exterior, the restaurant downstairs is a hidden treasure trove, serving up delectable and authentic Spanish fare. The tapas we sampled were nothing short of spectacular, with each dish offering generous portions and bursting with flavour. I'm already eagerly anticipating my next visit, during which I'll undoubtedly indulge in their renowned Paella. Furthermore, the staff members were exceptionally warm and hospitable, further enhancing our dining experience.

Amazingly friendly staff and excellent traditional Galician food! Would eat there every day!

The food was really tasty (the padrón peppers were delicious 🤤), their selection of drinks is very good and the service was incredibly welcoming and attentive. Also, while we were there, we had the opportunity to meet the president of the association. It was wonderful to learn more about the place from when it started until now. I will come back and definitely recommend it.

We booked through Fork with 50% discount all time the whole day. The manager rejected 50% discount by saying even she can see my booking (I showed her the email confirmation) but the booking doesn’t say it’s 50% discount. This is ridiculous! Not honest people!

Delicious well priced local tapas bar. Lovely food.

Really lovely tapas. Baby friendly ie children’s menu, high chair, baby friendly. Definitely recommend!

Wonderful place with some amazing tapas! Superb vegetarian options. The best Spanish food I’ve had! Thank you for a wonderful dinner experience

The foods were excellent! We really enjoy the seafood paellas, baby squids, calamaries, and bolognese pasta for three of us. The atmosphere is friendly, warm and cozy. We will come back another time.

Delicious food and lovely staff, Charlette 😊😊

Where do I start? Boss man was one of the most helpful people in Barcelona (defo wasn’t a crook). They had everything on the menu and the pasta was so good looked really professional! Calamari wasn’t over cooked and you couldn’t kill a pigeon with it if you threw it hard enough. They have the best medium rare chicken breast in all of el raval. Will definitely return to this really nice restaurant. (P.S. boss man you’re a crook)

Edit: was definitely a 5 star (for the food quality) a couple of years ago...then it closed for a while, and when it reopened the quality had dropped DRAMATICALLY.

Nothing to do with what it was before. There was only one English couple eating when we arrived. We started with a few pints of Estrella Galicia, well... Dry ham croquettes and the béchamel was more flour than anything else. Standard peppers that don't sting, so others don't... Greasy potato aioli with mayonnaise, garlic and parsley... Stiff octopus, overcooked, with undercooked potatoes... Cachopo, or rather cachopín... Accompanied by fries and salad from McDonald's. We didn't even want to try the desserts. Very bad experience. And it's a shame that one of London's best venues has been lost forever. The score reflects how it was before, not how it is now.

The best "pulpo a la gallega" I have ever tried. The owners were very friendly and we will go back

Una comida deliciosa, very nice food

Bueno de centro gallego Nada. Ni un gallego en el local..... El licor cafe de Extremadura.... Lavado de dinero(cobro con tarjeta a nombre de Kay BigMama). Dudas en que tengan licencia Mas bajo no se puede caer... Grupo de 20 personas las que reservamos una de los comedores que tienen, (nos piden £150 de reserva) hasta aqui todo bien. Pedimos 24 tapas y 1 cachopo ( enano y £25,y nada bueno ) Decidimos que no pediremos mas comida a lo cual baja la cocinera colombiana a increparnos que si estamos de broma que como puede ser que pidamos solo eso, pues senora si la comida deja muchisimo que deseear que espera usted..... Adjunto foto de Puntillita ( ES PUNTILLITA NORMAL) si se puede llamar asi... El Raxo solo grasa otra verguenza ( foto) Los chorizos al vino ( chorizo frito con un chorro de vino al final (el vino tiene que cocinarse) Dos de las croquetas salieron trozitos de plastico. Lo unico comestible las 4 gambas al ajillo £6.5/cerveza VERGUENZA OS TENDRIA QUE DAR ENGLISH Not a Galician in the premises..... The coffee liquor of Extremadura.... Money laundering (card payment in the name of Kay BigMama). Not sure if they have license to operate You can't fall lower... A group of 20 people reserved one of the dining rooms they have, (they ask us for £150 for a reservation) so far so good. We ordered 24 tapas and 1 cachopo (small and £25, and not good at all) We decide that we will not order more food, to which the Colombian chef or worker comes down to reproach us that if we are joking and bla bla, how can it be that we order only that, well, ma'am, the food leaves a lot to be desired, what are you waiting for... Attached photo of Puntillita(babby squids) (IT IS NORMAL PUNTILLITA) if you can call it that... The Raxo only fats another shame(pic attached) Chorizos al vino (fried chorizo ​​with a splash of wine at the end (the wine has to be cooked) Two of the croquettes came out with little pieces of plastic. The only edible thing is the 4 garlic prawns £6.5/beer SHAME I SHOULD GIVE YOU TOTALLY AVOID-SCAMMERS

Ambiente Iberoamericano... Para todos los gustos y muy buena comida

Llame ayer para hacer una reserva para 3 personas a las 2pm, hoy acudo a las 2 de la tarde del sábado cuando el horario pone que abre a las 12 y me lo encuentro cerrado. Habíamos venido adrede hasta aquí y nos hemos ido con una gran decepción. ¿Por que confirman una reserva si no iban a estar abiertos?

We had lots of food, really good. Cachopo was massive, I couldn't finish. Really good time there!

Just a gem of a tapas bar in the wilds of Kendal Green at the top of Scrubbs Lane - an unlikely setting. Food was excellent. Service suberb. £30/head including amble delicious tapas & 1/2 bottle wine each. Go. You won't regret it.

This place was such a disappointment. We all got our food at different times, the quality of food was terrible and the place was freezing. We have been going to the same restaurant for over twenty years and watched it go down hill. Additionally, we were charged for food we had not ordered. What a shame, we will not be back!

I recently visited Centro Gallego de Londres in Willesden Junction, and I must say, the experience was quite enjoyable. The restaurant has recently changed ownership, but it still offers a good selection of Galician dishes. The food, while generally good, came in slightly smaller portions than expected. The flavors were decent, and I appreciated their selection of Galician beers. I'm particularly looking forward to returning for their queimada night, as it sounds like a unique and exciting event. Overall, a positive experience, and I'll be back to try more dishes and enjoy the queimada night

One of the best places I ate during my trip! Excellent service and delicious food! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

The best Spanish restaurant I have being so far. The manager and the team is really friendly. The food is amazing 😍. They have a VIP room for your own party that i used for a birthday surprise for my friend. I will definitely be back.

Amazing Spanish food and lovely staff. I'm a loyal customer and i'll be because is with a huge difference the best Spanish restaurant in London and i was in many of them.

Great staff and usual good PE food. Good for kids too

Please update your number in Google map and your website

Fui a ver un partido del Real Madrid el partido se cortaba cada dos por tres y además en el menú tienen unos precios y después te cobran otros. También tardan la vida en entregar la comida y en cobrar aunque la comida es muy buena. La calidad no es mala pero sitio muy mejorable

The food was really good! The service was also really great, Roma was a really nice waitress. Really wanna come here again.

DON'T GO!! The truth is not to come back, they open at 2 and the chef showed up at 3.45, so we didn't eat until very late. It is very noticeable that it is not the same people as before because basically the cachopo was bad and the homemade "chicken" croquettes were the worst. We went based on the ratings that were there but later we found out that these owners are new, nor is the menu on the website the one that corresponds to the place, they maintain the ratings of the old restaurant but they are not the same. Galician none sure. Good luck for another time but come on, I do not recommend it because basically I will never return NO VAYAIS!! La verdad para no volver, abren a las 2 y el chef se presento a las 3.45, por tanto no comimos hasta muy tarde. Se nota mucho que no es la misma gente de antes porque basicamente el cachopo era malo y las croquetas caseras de ''pollo'' de lo peor. Fuimos por las valoraciones que habían pero luego nos enteramos de que estos propietarios son nuevos, ni la carta de la web es la que se corresponde con el local, mantienen las valoraciones del restaurante antiguo pero no son los mismos. Gallegos ninguno seguro. Suerte para otra ocasión pero vamos, no lo recomiendo porque basicamente nunca volvere.

Edited: this used to be the best and most authentic Spanish food in London. We used to come regularly, loved the food, drinks and staff. They closed from October last year and reopened a few weeks ago. We were excited and went, only to be really disappointed. We were the only guests on a Thursday evening. They had 2 waiters and a chef. The staff was not attentive at all and preferred standing outside at the back. We literally had to put our hand up each time tp order. The drinks were fine but the food very disappointing. They said it’s the same menu but they definitely took 40% off the menu. The portions got a lot smaller and the only thing that tasted good were the prawns. The bread used to be baked there and fresh. Now just very soft and no taste. The bocerones were half the portion and lacked flavour. The monkfish at around £20 was a small plate of some overcooked white fish pieces with some cooked potatoes. No flavour and the potatoes were the the best part (but still bad). I can continue but overall it’s just so disappointing how such a good place went so terrible with renovation, a new owner and new staff. Only nice thing is that it’s renovated and a bit cleaner but I’d take back the old look & rest. Bring back the old version as it was sooo much better!

Nada que ver con lo que era antes... Pedimos boquerones al vinagre, pan con tomate y raxo. Los boquerones secos, de lata, sin aceite y sin nada. El pan con tomate con el pan bueno pero sin tostar. El raxo tardo 40 mins y cuándo llegó nos pareció muy pequeño para los 8.25 gbp que cuesta. Eso con 4 cañas 40 libras en total. Una pena para un sitio que ya tenía el trabajo hecho de tener buena fama.

Lovely food very friendly staff.. enjoyed our evening in there

The most authentic Galician cuisine and experience in London.

Excellent service from Carlos and great food from the chefs!

Been close for a bit. Was really excited to go and eat some beautiful and tasty food. But totally disappointed. Gamba Al ajillo was terrible probably the most basic of the dishes. Services was amazing the gentlemen that helped was brilliant. But really food was a massive let down sorry. After trying the gamba I just dint want to risk it with the pulp Nice place for a beer and footie perhaps.

It's a Spanish centre but didn't have too much of the previous influence. Have had some lovely evening events before. Guess time will tell! Good luck🤞

Para todo los clientes el restaurantes ya está abierto al público

Amazing food and staff! I am a Spaniard and this is the most authentic Spanish restaurant I have tried in London. The pulpo is very tasty and the rice is affordable and generous in quantity. Will be back for sure!

Mi restaurante favorito,sigue cerrado?

Overpriced. The only Galician thing in the place was the queimadas, the pictures and the wine.

This place was amazing! The food was delicious and the quantity and price perfect! It's such a pity to find out that it is now temporarily closed!

Muy a gusto en cuánto a trato y calidad de las tapas. La sangría espectacular!!!

Great tapas at a reasonable price.

Un pulpo a la gallega riquísimo!! Me he llevado el último antes de que cerrasen, espero que vuelvan pronto!

What a place. Reminds me of being in Galicia. Food and service amazing

Top as always!! The talks for itself!!

Perhaps not the most poshly decorated place and not set in one of the most beautiful locations in London, but absolutely worth it if you want to try the closest flavours to Spanish/Galician food. Definitely recommended and 100% worth it.

Un angolo di vera Spagna Staff amazing

Recently refurbished and more capable staff employed the food is still excellent

Great food, but if you want nice dinning experience book downstairs. Upstairs is laúd and only one person attending it takes long to service all tables and bar.

Riquísimo!! Lugar acogedor te hace volver a los típicos restaurantes de España o al menos eso nos pareció.

Great food, great service, food served with a smile 👌

The food is very tasty,excellent service the bar area is bit tired and old. Our server a Spanish lady from Barcelona she just can't do more for us well done 👏 We definitely go back!!!

Fuimos varios amigos y teniamos reservado el menú del día .Al sentarnos a la mesa, la camarera parecía no saber que había menu del dia...La comida era de buena calidad pero muy escasa.Una croqueta por persona, según el menú que adjunto abajo, eran unas de jamón y otras de queso con espinacas, pues nos dieron 8 croquetas en total,siendo 8, a unos les tocó de jamón y a otros de queso, lo mismo con los calamares, o mejor dicho calamar, la paella del menú,apenas un plato pequeño por cabeza.He ido varias veces y solía estar lleno ,además por un precio aceptable, salias comido, cenado y sin ganas de desayunar.Sin embargo, está vez en junio 22, salias con hambre y fuimos al burgen King unas horas después. El restaurante estaba vacío, lo cual no me sorprende debido a lo que vi.Despues de comer,pedimos unas copas , bien servidas.Al pedir la cuenta, teniendo en cuenta que el menú incluía el servicio según la foto adjunta del menú y que íbamos a barra a por las copas,pues nos cobraron un 12.50% de servicio por la comida y copas.Obviamente es voluntario, pero que se lo queden , con no volver es suficiente. Con el dinero que solían recibir de la junta, podían dar 2 croquetas a cada uno.Poco más que decir, nos hubiera salido mejor coger un avión a Galicia

Good Galician food and great atmosphere

Great authentic Spanish restaurant specialising in Galician food and drink

Food was delicious, the staff were lovely and friendly, just love it

Para restaurante espanol en londres, es de los mejorcitos. buen precio, buena cantidad y buen sabor. De postres regular pero por lo demas bien.

Estrella Galicia y 1906 de barril y a buenos precios. Buena cocina y buen personal, estupendo lugar para comer o cenar solos o en compañía en el comedor de abajo o en el bar arriba. La comida muy buena, casera y con gusto. Muy bien!!!

My brother and I visited having been highly recommended. We arrived at about 19.45 on a public holiday. Not too many customers but still too many for the one waitress. Consequently... Service and despatch of food was erratic. Food was acceptable but not extraordinary. The place looked as though it could benefit from a freshen up as well.

Comida de buena calidad, bien en cantidad, precios ajustados para ser londres, trato amable y profesional, un lugar para repetir.

I am so pleased I found this interesting Spanish restaurant food was amazing booked a table for next Saturday if anybody wants to join me there welcome

Came to London to try some amazing spanish good. The place is very hidden in Kensal Green. Loved the place, remind me of Spain, staff were lovely and food was great!

Great Spanish food and atmosphere! fantastic service. would recommend!

Always a good food experience. Just for the steak is over cooked outside and taste like burned.

El restaurante es muy autentico desde que entras por la puerta. La comida muy buena, espectacular. Repito sin duda alguna. Lo recomiendo 100x100

De todos los restaurantes españoles en Londres, este es sin duda de los más top. La comida es increible (especialmente el pulpo) y el servicio es muy bueno. Ambiente 100% español, en el piso de arriba televisan el fútbol y abajo a veces hay música española en directo. Precios adecuados a la calidad de la comida en mi opinión. El único pero que le pongo es la ubicación, pues en esa zona no hay mucha cosa y no está muy bien conectada.

wonderful food and snacks, good music, good place for fun!

Excellent food friendly service

Great place, live music downstairs great food.

Un lugar que te hace sentir como en casa.. y una comida excelente.

Excellent octopus starter and fresh, home made like bread, good paella mixta and nice live music. We've also tried fried baby squid and I would advise you to not get it - dry and tasteless. Overall a good experience, but we do know other Spanish restaurants that are better. Worth a try, just not my favourite.

The best waitress Nuria Everything was amazing

Friendly staff, great music, and the food has improved to the point that it's becoming a regular place to go to!

I am Spanish and I live in London. I always go to Centro Gallego to eat my favourite Spanish dishes, and this place is perfect to make me feel like if I were in my country. I highly recommend the “croquetas de espinacas”, “pulpo” and “secreto ibérico” if you like meat. They are my fav choices always. The prices should be lower… in my opinion. The restaurant is not very nice (talking about the decoration) and the location is not quiet good as you have nothing to do around and there is not tube station near. Sometimes they offer live Spanish music and the atmosphere is really nice. The staff is very friendly and lovely.

Comida excelente, calidad súper alta. Recomendado absolutamente

Lovely..... a proper Spanish find... Well worth a visit! Downstairs is more salubrious, don't judge a book....etc... 😉

Simplesmente imperdível para quem deseja fugir da típica comida londrina. Pratos galegos e espanhóis, atendimento muito bom.

The place to go for authentic tapas and great service.

Sensacional lugar para comer o beber algo

Warm atmosphere, good food and service.

Excellent food ( no fault with the food )but overpriced - 180 pounds for 3 adults & 1 child- no starters and 1 bottle of House red- in my opinion its a bit too pricey for harrow road

A proper Spanish, furthemore Galician, place with a good few specialties you would expect. No LatAm leanings food wise.

Amazing atmosphere, friendly staff and authentic food - highly recommend

Loved the food and the ambiance on a Saturday night is amazing

I really cant fault the food and the atmosphere here which is great but what I can fault is the extremely rude waitress (long, brown curly hair and glasses) who treated us with disdain and ignorance. If you call someone over to order some more food or drinks, I hope you don't get this person. The sheer ignorance of someone who has clearly seen you but chooses to walk right past you and not even acknowledge a customer is completely unacceptable in the hospitality trade. I would really like to mark these guys higher if it wasn't for that.

One of the best Spanish restaurants in London. Truly authentic Spanish food. I visited with some friends on a Friday and I was told they had live music on the Saturday. The restaurant downstairs has a nice deco and vibe, the food was delicious and the staff very helpful and pleasant. I can't wait to go back on a Saturday!

The very best authentic restaurant. Never had a bad meal or experience in over 10 years.

Soy Valenciano. Mejor noche española ever in London. Best Spanish night in London. Food+Music+People. 100% recommend. Nuria and Cherry best waitress in the restaurant.

Amazing food and super friendly staff! We loved it! Definitely my favourite Spanish restaurant in London. Can't wait to come back!

Es el mejor gallego de Londres, sin duda!!!

I’m Italian and my partner is Spanish. A friend recommend us this restaurant and we just fell in love! The quality, the taste of the food are just perfect! It really reminds us of our loved Spain 🇪🇸 The staff is very friendly and the prices are really good! We don’t live close, but we always try to eat there at least once a month! Highly recommend!

A good place to order Spanish food and feel like a Spaniard. They have a lot of tapas and big plates on their menu. The food quality is fine, not really good, but good enough for London, and drinks are properly prepared. The service was good but a bit too friendly in some situations. Expect to pay around 50-60ppp as an average price. The location is a bit far away, but it is worthwhile to visit this restaurant at least once!

Con el restaurante casi lleno un caos en el servicio y muy lento. Precios de la comida aceptables pero con precios excesivos en los chupitos(£7), sangria(£20) y copas. Casi £300 por ir a comer con 4 amigos incluido £30 de servicio obligatorio. En general la comida muy buena pero sorpresa en la cuenta.

Authentic galizian food. Staff very nice.

It's ok. Food was much better 2 or 3 years ago. Too expensive for the quality you get.

Great food, friendly staff, and lovely ambience. How Galego and Spanish food should actually be like, not that hipster rubbish that’s been popping up all over portobello recently. Come to el centro Galego for some genuine and traditional food, you won’t regret it.

Genial ambiente Estupenda comida galega El teatro correcto , cordial y familiar Muy agusto

I discovered this restaurant few years ago and since then I never stopped visiting it. It's a very authentic Galician restaurant ! Food is incredibly tasty and good portions! Friendly atmosphere make me feel like home here! Highly recommended!
