Cubana in Lambeth

Thank you for an amazing lunch. Francisco thank you for all your hospotality . All the staff lovely. Great afternoon xxx

Went for a casual dinner. Stayed longer than planned because of how relaxed and enjoyable the whole experience was . The good was great , but krishy made the night . Friendly, attentive and just had this amazing energy that made everything feel smooth and easy . A real gem

Too sweet mojito clearly lacked alcohol. At the outdoor bar we couldn't have everything, really a shame. We didn't eat there so I don't know how to evaluate the food.

Really unkind security staff. I have been going to La cubana for so many years, is one of my favourites places in London, and I alwas had the best experiences there, their food, service and atmosphere were always top, but yesterday my experience was totally different. The security guy at the door treated us very bad and unfair, with really bad manners. I'm happy for you guys to check the cameras to see that I was trying to talk to him really kind and polite, as I do love the place, but the responses from him weren't the same.

Really really poor service here, took them 20 mins to ask what drinks we’d like and then once we’d ordered, staff took another 40 mins to deliver those drinks. Wasn’t even that busy. They did kindly provide the drinks we’d ordered for free after complaining, but damage had already been done. Wouldn’t waste your time here.

Excellent food and a good atmosphere, thanks to chef Asael for the food

We had the happy hour jugs; great value for money. Tom was our server and he was very attentive and friendly. We’ll definitely be coming back

The decor looks great. Food is very average. No spice but plenty of options for carnivore/vegetarian/vegan eaters. 2 for 1 cocktails. Did not taste very strong. Very busy and popular place though so maybe I was the fussy one.

Very good service, Mr Elton mota very patiently to give us suggestion and information about the food,make us feel the Cuba

Very good atmosphere and excellent food thanks to chef Asael for the perfectly cooked steak.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere!

Fresh , vibrant dishes , krishy's made sure everything ran smoothly with a smile !

The food hit the spot and krishy’s service was flawless -friendly , fast and full of the charm

We came for the food,but krishy warm and genuine service made the evening unforgettable

Sangria and cuba libra was good and service of your staff KRISHI was nice and she was very friendly with us.

Incredible atmosphere, amazing plates and Krishy's service truly elevated the night.

Great place to go! Food was delicious (hats off to the chef, Juanmi!), staff were so accomodating and the vibe was great!

Very kind and attentive service by Krishy. We loved her recommendation. Thank you

Thank you Krishy for your quick service

Very good place for cocktails 2 for 1, out server Krishy was very kind

Had a great time in cubana, everything was perfect, Krishy was so friendly and polite. Food was very delicious

Best service by krishy very well received and good food

The first time I tried Cuban food, they advised me what to order, and I loved everything. Very good treatment.

If you get a good mojito, it's fantastic, if you get a bad one, please do say something, they pride themselves in this one drink alone, it must be amazing all the time. Had a few bits to share, tortilla and plantain. Very nice.

Food was so delicious even though it was busy on Saturday Sebastian was so quick with his service. Amazing experience

3 adults 2 small children. Busy, lively, always try to accommodate. Very tasty finger food. Good selection of lagers snd cocktails.

Our evening at Cubana Waterloo was fantastic, with excellent food and drinks, and Krishy provided standout service.”

Cubana serves best 2 for 1 cocktails , krishy recommendation was on point . I will be back soon to try food

Food was delicious 😋 very nice mocktail, service by krishy was very quick

Food is ok but not authentic Cuban, I am Cuban/American, I would know. The pictures of Fidel Castro and Che Guevara everywhere are disgusting and hurtful. They have them everywhere and praising them and the revolution. Cubans are starving because of these men so not nice to see. If I ever visit London again this is not a place I will give my money to. Also, prices are high for Cuban food. Let me answer the owner that is from London and not Cuba. Miami Cuban food is more authentic than anywhere else in the world even Cuba. 70% of Miami is Cubans. You don’t have any pictures of Celia Cruz which is a Cuban legend, why? You have pictures of Che and Castro saying happy anniversary to the revolution. You’re a socialist/communist which is fine but DO NOT for a moment think you represent Cubans, our culture, or our food. Your restaurant is a disgrace and I will make sure to post it all over my social media so no one from Miami will go there.

Tom was amazing, although we were just passing through, his service was very quick and efficient, he made our stay 100x better, when you go ensure you ask for Tom!!!!

Excellent food with rich flavours, Krishy’s recommendations were on point.

Food was very delicious, krishy was very quick. Large options for cocktails

Excellent food I loved the very friendly chefs Henry and Asael I recommend it 100% I would return for sure

Tom was great and so was the barbacoa

Excellent food and service. Thank you Bia for your attention 😍

Food was amazing and very good value for money. Staff could be a bit more attentive

Came here on a whim, went for the 241 cocktails. Awesome drinks and good service. Obscure location but will come back to try the food as it smelled awesome and will update ratings. So far good place.

Fabulous Cuban restaurant with delicious food! Thomas was very helpful with suggestions for food and drinks. We had the tricolour platter, chicken and chorizo skewers. Lots of dishes to share, everything freshly prepared, delicious! Great atmosphere and fabulous service Thankyou Thomas

Incredible food, lovely service. Especially love their home made sauce. Great warmth from the chilli! Thank you

Lovely food with great service from Thomas would definitely recommend

Have been here twice, always amazing food and staff. Tom provided great service as always.

Thank you krishy for your best service and recommendations.

Great atmosphere, staff was very welcoming and the food was just perfect. Loved it.

We really enjoyed Cubana’s dishes! Sangria was very tasty and Max was very friendly and funny!

Amazing customer service provided by Max. Nice food and sangria.

Great food, and the service was 10/10 thanks to our waiter Max :)

Great food, great experience. Max was very friendly and helpful, made the overall experience very good. Will be back

I am Cuban and I’m visiting UK 🇬🇧. Also I really enjoy the food . It is incredible. Krishy was super sweet. Good service. I loved it

Rude staff. Didn't say hello just walked off to show us a table. Same on way out, completely ignored. It's not hard to say hello or goodbye.

Alejandro, the best service in London, I loved the place and atmosphere

We had an amazing time, one of the best mojitos I have had, amazing food..our first time trying Cuban and it was delicious, won't be our last..and the service from Tom was amazing, what a darling he is! 10 out of 10 from us, rank you so much!

Cubana is so good for their delicious food and amazing happy hour drinks, I enjoyed the delicious food here. I’m coming back again very soon. Gonna be my favorite place. Krishy served us very well. Thank you

Steak medium rare was so delicious which was recommended by very friendly staff of Cubana Krishy. Very good experience

Unique place to 'travel' without leaving London. Good food, quick service, nice ambience :)

Food is delicious ,steak was absolutely amazing and tasty.Thank you cubana

Wicked food , great staff and the best strawberry Daiquairi,s ever.

Great place in the evening but don’t criticise the bar maids cocktail making skills by saying no bueno as they get upset and get security to have a word . Definitely won’t be back here anytime soon.

Lovely meals , very busy , sangria 😋.

The food was delicious, we were sitting outside in the terrace and the ambient was great , heated live fire and covered terrace.

Food incredible as always. Juanmi is an amazing chef and the environment is simply incredible.

A truly great dining experience. Querky, interesting and very delicious. The food is amazing. Great cocktails ( we had a Habana) and beer. Really interesting decor with lots of historical pictures. Great music. Nice friendly staff and very attentive. Oh and did I mention the food? Wow, beautifully balanced spices with tasty dips and sauces. We had a sharing platter and Prawns with rice and plantain. Sooo nice. Highly recommended by a retired chef. Enjoy.

Food was very sweet, arguably ordered the wrong options

Excellent food, but some people may not find the staff "friendly" because they originally speak Spanish. Yes, I'm from the Caribbean. Picture Lester Corzo. Cuban. Having lived in Curaçao and Venezuela as a child, food from that region is not heavily seasoned. If you want that, you have to eat Jamaican food in London!

This place is one of the best if not the best latin bars in London. The music is authentic and the DJs know how to get the crowd going. Five star entertainment.

Thank you krishy for your service, we had a good time here. Food was delicious

Lovely atmosphere. Prices higher than in Cuba but great experience!

TERRIBLE! Not only was the food not good and definitely not authentic (I was born in Cuba) but the restaurant itself is literally abysmal. You walk in and there is art on the walls of the very dictatorship that made so many Cubans flee or DIE. if you have any morality at all, skip this restaurant. You won’t even be missing much considering the food was less than average. UPDATE!!! In reply to the owners ridiculous comment: I am not from Miami. But, Cuba is highly represented in Miami because a lot of Cubans live there. Not sure why this owner has an issue with that. Maybe they were never able to live in Miami. But the thing that their comment did was just further prove how they support the Cuban regime. There are NOT pictures from all eras of Cuba. There is not a single picture of Celia Cruz which is extremely customary at a Cuban restaurant because she is an extremely important person to Cuban culture. Instead, you have Fidel Castro propaganda plastered on the wall with calls for the revolution. It’s one thing to say you have different parts of history on the walls but there is a mural of Castro…there is no explaining that other than you support the atrocities he committed due to your ignorance. And my next point, the food was NOT authentic. The only authentic Cuban food that exists are from Cubans and I’m starting to doubt this owner is even Cuban. If they are, I would like to say you have betrayed your island and this isn’t political. The Cuban government kills. Your restaurant celebrates that. Absolutely disgusting and shameful.

Went here for an end of night cocktails. Drink seemed very watered down. Service was very poor. Took 10 mins to pay the bill even though they were not that busy.

Didnt have the food but the drinks were good. Went in for happy hour and had a good time.

Food was great and service was great - thanks Max!!

Nice place, friendly staff and excellent dinner.

Tourist trap. Attract by the proposal: "happy hours coktails", we went to the cubana to have a drink. 1 beer + 2 mohito of low quality, full of mint and ice glass. About 17 pounds for that and a maney change lower than expected.....

Delicious food. Max was very nice and friendly. We'll be back

That was my second time at Cubana and I wasn't disappointed :) The food was amazing, service very nice, I'm sure I'll be back.

An amazing underrated gem for authentic Cuban food! Our server Alejandro was amazing and helpful with our selection of food and juices, making everything fresh to perfection. Don’t miss this place you will be transported straight to the island. 10/10 🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺

Delicious food with amazing flavours, staff was very kind and polite. Krishy was my server, 2 for 1 drinks for outstanding 👍 Will come back to try some more food. Thank you.

Been a couple of times Good food Good service Good outdoor seating

We tried chicken wings and they served happy hour drinks on Sunday until Sunday and we tried Long Island ice tea and senorita picante we really enjoyed our date night we were served by by kind Krishy she was very polite.

I really like this place! Great atmosphere and most importantly delicious and fresh food.

All dishes was big and very tasty. Recommend!

Had a great experience at this Cuban restaurant! The Cuban sandwich was delicious, with perfect flavors, and the chicken wings were crispy and juicy. The mixed tapas plate was a great variety of tasty bites. The service was quick, and the staff were friendly. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Cuban food!

The food does not seem Cuban because of the amount of spice it contains, Cuban food does not contain spice except in exceptions and to the taste of the consumer. Nobody is Cuban here, 👈🏻 something that I find strange to understand in a Cuban Restaurant, where the waiters do not speak Spanish either hahaha. Anyway, we arrived and it was just us, it seemed like it was closed, we asked anyway and they told us they were open. The black beans were a little acidic, I think they had been reheated for several days anyway...I don't recommend it! Not GOOD Cuban food. It is an attempt to cook and sell Cuban food.

The food is very good, excellent service and customer service, the drinks are on point. And I want to give special merits to those in the kitchen ❣️the mere master chef 😎Alberto and Jefferson 💪 10/10

Food was amazing and great service by Krishi

Un lugar maravilloso con deliciosa comida. Nuestro camarero, Tom, fue muy atento con nosotros y amablemente explicó partes del menú que preguntamos. La comida era fresca y realmente fantástico. ¡Volveremos!

Fantastic place, with really good choices of food and mazing cocktails, a must in London!

It's a drinking place, don't come to eat. Food was pretty stale and tasteless. For drinking there's great deals and the drinks we had weren't too bad.

Tom was a great server and we had a lovely meal.

Comida deliciosa y buen ambiente x happy hour era genial y Tom estaba comprobando en nosotros para asegurarse de que estábamos bien! Gracias por una hermosa noche x

We had a great cheerful dinner before the theatre. Tom, our server, was helpful and got us in and out quickly before the show.

Great little bar but jeez service at the bar upstairs was shockingly slow. Didn't have food so unable to say how this was.

The food is just ok, the service was slow, and the margaritas were too sour.

The male waiter with the ponytail was rude to us and made it seem as though we were trying not to pay but in reality he had gotten the maths wrong. He did not apologise and he made us feel very small. Upsetting as we are regular Cubana goers and we love this place.

Great food for good prices nice outside space with heat lamps very cosy

Rude waiters with re-heated food. Not worth it.

Delicious food chicken wings were outstanding, krishy was very good and friendly

Absolutely loved my experience at Cubana in Waterloo! The food was incredible—authentic Cuban flavors that transport you straight to Havana! From the tender lechón asado to the crispy tostones, every dish was bursting with flavor. The atmosphere was lively and fun, but what really made our visit stand out was the brilliant service from our waiter, Mo. He was super attentive, friendly, and made fantastic recommendations. It’s rare to find such top-notch service paired with amazing food. Highly recommend this gem—can't wait to return! 🌟✨ TNT PhotoPersonality - YOUTUBE CHANNEL
