La Casita in Lambeth

Very nice, the service is very good too

I have been visiting La Casita for a number of years & have never been disappointed ; tonight (11/04) was the exception. The starters of cheese fries & chilli jam, calamari & garlic prawns were a mixed level of tastiness - the best were the prawns (lots of garlic butter which was great), the worst were the calamari (these were inedible & returned). The waiter did apologise & removed this item from the bill. We did order some pão caseiro bread (traditional Portuguese bread) after the starters were served - this was definitely NOT pão caseiro - very disappointing. The mains consisted of mixed fish skewer (espetada), baked salted cod (bacalhau ) & sirloin steak - all 3 were below par. The steak was NOT sirloin, it was a largish flat piece of beef with a fair amount of “flobby” fat smothered with peppercorn sauce. Half of the steak was edible & the fries & side salad were good. The bacalhau was overcooked, way too firm not soft & silky & dry to taste ; the accompanying vegetables were good. The worse was the espetada ; the tuna was hard & grey in colour, the calamari was the same as the starter, difficult to cut & “rubbery”, the prawns were near on impossible to peel as they were stuck to the shell, the salmon was hard & dry. Along with the vegetables, the whole skewer was burnt / extremely charred. Around 75% of the food was left on our plates. The waiter did ask if everything was ok when clearing our table, we did respond giving an overall opinion that everything was overcooked. Not too much conversation between us, he acknowledged & left. The bill didn’t reflect any other discount apart from the calamari starter. Maybe an “off” night for the Chef but @ our detriment & £££ ; not good. No one goes out to have a bad / unsatisfactory meal but this was probably one of the worst meals we’ve had in a long time. NB the photo’s can & are deceiving - the food looks good but tasted the complete opposite.

Visited for lunch with some friends on 11/4/25. Lunch offer is such a great deal and includes a drink of your choice including wine or beer. Service was warm, attentive and efficient. Our waiter was very charming. Dishes are simple and basic (in a good way) and of excellent quality and nicely prepared & served. Portion size is generous. The consensus was that everything ordered was absolutely delicious. Will definitely be back soon and delighted to recommend. Muito obrigado La Casita!

We had the steak skewer and the monkfish and prawn stew. Both were incredible, couldn’t fault it. The service is great too. A lovely local restaurant we will continue going back to.

The food was super delicious, the service was very good, I recommend it 100%

Amazing place. Friendly stuff that made us feel like home. Food fresh and delicious. Definitely will be back

Excellent and friendly service, food super tasty, you can’t go wrong when dinning here

Very nice place to eat and relax

I was in the area and I popped in. Really glad I did. I had a steak sandwich which was delicious. Service was excellent. The place has a lovely relaxed vibe - people enjoying slow coffees etc. I saw some guys ordering cooked breakfasts that also looked really good. Price was very reasonable. If I lived in the area I would come here regularly.

Sandra was lovely, really nice place and food. Good portions as well. Will definitely be back!

Bloody brilliant food and hosts , ive been coming since I was in my 20’s , I’m In my 40’s , and I’m STILL LOYAL

Excellent food, staff and service that never disappoints and that is why we have been clients for many years. Sandra and team make you feel welcome with their kindness and professional approach.

Great , quiet place to enjoy the companies of your loved ones while having a lovely food

Very welcoming restaurant. The staff are very polite and make you feel welcome. The food is delicious, with good portions. I recommend it.

A cozy place, with very friendly staff and good looking and very tasty food, I recommend the mango mousse!

Great restaurant, the food was spectacular today. Had ordered online previously but loved the atmosphere of the place. Being Portuguese it reminded me of home

Food was delicious, proper authentic Portuguese food. Portions are very generous. Loved it! Would highly recommend!

Food it is amazing, I am not big fan of paella but from la casita is perfect, plus the home made chilli sauce ! Service is so friendly and welcoming! Totally recommend it !

OMG! I just moved to Streatham (almost across the street from La Casita). My best friend and his partner came from 🇺🇸 to visit me for my birthday and we wanted to try something in the area. WOW… We came less than 1 hour before their closing time but we were not rushed at all (even though I tried to insist not to keep them there for long as we were the last table left). Sandra, the owner … OBRIGADO! Seriously! Very friendly, professional, excellent host and I just have no words to explain how good the food and drinks were!! My friend is a cocktail addict (in a good way) and he just loved all of them! I had 3 different cocktails and they were PERFECT! Drinks, food, service… 5 stars minimum ! Leo was our waiter and nothing was too much for him, always there when needed. Very professional, always with a smile… beautiful! Thank you Leo! Seriously. I will be back!!

Excellent food excellent service brilliant as usual top service

Absolutely beautiful experience. The food, manager and staff where Absolutely lovely. I'll definitely be back.

Authentic food and quick service!

We have been experiencing La Casita for over 5 years and we love it every single time. The service it’s amazing and the food it’s to die for. We love this place ❤️

Pedí chuletas de cordero medio cocinadas. Llegaron finamente cortados, quemados y duros con patatas fritas congeladas. El postre era mejor. Pastel de manzana y helado.

We were served by a lady who was really friendly and engaging and helpful! The thing I wanted was not on the menu, and this lady went and found ingredients and made it anyway! The food was great and the staff were very friendly. My friend had a full English veggie breakfast and was VERY happy (the sausages were great!).

I celebrated my 5th wedding anniversary and chose Lá Casita to celebrate. It couldn't have been better. Sara and João made our night special. They were so sweet. We'll definitely be back!! 😊

Sure, here's a shorter version: Authentic Portuguese flavor This restaurant is a perfect corner to enjoy Portuguese cuisine. The prego no plato, full of flavor and perfectly prepared. You can't leave without trying the apple pie, which is a true delight. The atmosphere is cozy, and the service is impeccable. Ideal for those looking for authenticity and quality in each dish. Highly recommended!
