Been before and had some delicious food but this time I came and had the eggs with chorizo and parma ham and it was SO salty. There is already a lot of salt in the ham, chorizo and alioli sauce that it comes with and there was so much added salt, I couldn't eat all of it. Service was good though, especially lady with very short blonde hair and tattoos

Food consitently yummy! :) Ok it is not cheap (always ends up around £60-65 per person if you drink) but no where is really less than that nowadays, so that's the only hmm...but the sangria is the best around!..not sweet and sickly at all but has a fun kick to it and great after a stressful day; the grilled chicken thighs with romesco sauce and bavette steak are always perfectly cooked so tasty and the pan con tomato is sooo good; you gotta get the basics right! Staff are always cheery and welcoming. Tables are a little small but we can survive, it's a small resturant and with local rents being what they are I get it.

I had a splendid evening with my lovely friend in La Farola. We booked through 'First table', so the venue was more affordable. The staff were friendly and quick to serve. The tapas options were excellent. We ordered the squid ink risotto, las patatas fritas, la tortilla de chorizo and pan con tomate. The ambience was warm and fun with spanish vibes. Only downside is that the restaurant does seem expensive if you don't book through 'First table'.

Spent an afternoon with a friend at this place, which has been on my list for a while. The service is friendly but non existent, we had to wait to have any order taken, wete never asked how everything was or if we needed anything else, we never had our wine poured once, we had to walk to the staff who were just sitting in the restaurant to get more drinks etc, very dreadful and unpleasant. Food was good, nothing that blew my mind, or out of the norm and also quite pricey. The restaurant itself is cute, although it is a tapas place and most of the tables are too small to fit more than 2 plates, not very thought through. The service experience however is enough for me, not to try this place again.

Lovely place for small sharing plates. Stopped by La Farola for a late dinner. Although the were very busy, we luckily managed to get a table without booking. The food was very good and they had a nice range of meat and fish dishes, as well as some very tasty desserts. Along with the selection of food, they had an excellent selection of drinks, including mezcal (one of my favourites). The stand-out thing for us were the excellent service. All the service staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made for a truly enjoyable experience. I certainly intend of returning for dinner another time.

Very enjoyable Spanish tapas experience in Islington. The food is very good and their pre-theatre offer is compelling at 3 tapas for £20. My wife and I enjoyed 3 tapas each and shared the 6. Everything we ordered was well made with our favorite dish being the Arroz Negro, although the other 5 dishes were good too. They have an a La Carte menu too which includes several dishes not on the pre theatre menu and may go back again to try it.

Cuatro para una comida temprana antes de un concierto y no nos decepcionó. Lo más destacado para mí fue una elección difícil, pero el pan con tomate fue tan bueno como lo he tenido durante mucho tiempo, una porción generosa también. Pimientos padrón perfectos, patatas fritas crujientes, excelente jamón y calamares bien presentados. Los pinchos de muslo de pollo casi se llevan el premio al igual que el Burrata especial con remolacha. Espléndido. El vino de la casa era muy aceptable. Esto vale la pena una noche en un ambiente agradable. Gracias.

The food was good, but it was overpriced. The service was fast, but almost too fast. As soon as we finished eating, they cleared our plates, brought the bill, and the card machine. When I told them we weren't finished, another waiter came to take our payment despite his colleague telling him we were not finished... We came to share a meal with friends, but we felt rushed, even though there was no one waiting for our table. We ordered 2-3 tapas each, drinks, and dessert. There was no need to rush us out! Overall, it wasn't a very 'suave' experience for a Spanish restaurant. I will not come back to this restaurant.

We were a group of more than 20 people and they gave us a long table, the space was really very narrow, also after we were already seated and organized the food was not bad, but the worst of all was the attention since when another group arrived of people began to move us to take away one of the tables we had, so we were even tighter, some of us at the ends of the table, and if they had asked our permission it would have been respectful but no! They simply told us to stop because they needed a table, very bad service, I don't recommend it at all!

If I could I wouldn't give it a single star. We didn't finish the food because of its poor quality. They sell squid and present you with fried squid, something that is completely different in Spanish cuisine; the Galician-style octopus comes with 5 pieces of octopus and the same number of fried potatoes, not cooked for £18; Black rice without any flavor and with fried squid on top of the rice. We also ordered broccoli, cod and croquettes. It leaves a lot to be desired and to say that in my 5 years in London I have not seen anything more embarrassing. Overprice compared to quality. I would avoid it at all costs.

The food is not great. It is pricey and portions are extremely small. The gambas dish is £14.50 and consists of 4 (!!!) overcooked tasteless gambas drowned in olive oil. The pulpo £18 is embarrassing for how little is. I think there were 10 pieces altogether between some patata brava and a chopped leg of the pulpo. Was it nice? No. Tortilla was salty. Bocarones were not baby squid just regular squid. I don’t think none of these were fresh food. Ambient: loud music that we asked to turn down but it did not happen. Yes the staff asked whether all was good and we just nodded because the problem was not with one dish, it was all of them. And for the quality and quantity it is expensive. In a previous review someone says it good value for money. I live and work in London and Barrafina is one of my favourites. The gambas there cost £18 and it is paradise. This one? I felt ripped off.

Stumbled across this quaint place searching for a quick bite for brunch whilst out and about running errands. Sat by the open window at the front in the glorious sunshine watching the world go by. The service was attentive and the food arrived very quickly. I chose the ‘Spanglish brunch’ which arrived looking amazing. Vibrant colours of the chorizo sausages and fresh fried eggs together with some good quality sourdough bread. It tasted just as good as it looked. Very impressive and of very high quality. Would definitely recommend.

The first thing we noticed was how loud the restaurant is. We asked 3 times for the music to be turned down but waiters ignored requests. The food came out in a piecemeal way... yes, I know its tapas style, but the broccoli came first, followed shortly by rice dish (which one of us couldn’t eat due to allergies), waited...the chops came a while after, by which time the broccoli had gone cold. The waiters forgot the chicken and the request to have the sauce on the side (due to allergy), and the bread finally came last. We'd ordered another dish but got bored of asking and waiting. The waiter said, you didn't remind me to get your dishes (??). The food itself was pretty decent but the slowness and forgetful service, meant dishes weren't as hot as they should be and the group came away not totally full. If you're not overly hungry and only ordering a couple of dishes, and don't mind loud music, then this place is worth a visit. If starving and hard of hearing, this place would be a struggle.

The service, food, and atmosphere are good, but man, this place is expensive. The Spanish restaurant Barrafina (1 star michelin and probably one of the best Spanish restaurants in London) is just 10-15% more expensive and food is much better and fresher (as one of the reviewers said, their potatoes look like they were reheat). I would come back for the food if it was cheaper, but at this price I can much better value for my money elsewhere.

Fine food, some of it tasted a bit warmed up rather than freshly prepared ( for example the patatas bravas tasted as though they'd been fried at least a couple hours ago), nothing was absolutely delicious -- though the mushroom croquettes were pretty tasty. Most of the food was quite samey and not notable, which doesn't seem fair for the prices. Cost nearly 100 quid for three people and no drinks. I know London's expensive but that just seems like a price that would warrant at least some fresher ingredients idk. The salad was pretty good as well, but the pan con tomate was quite soggy and the crackers served with the manchegan (tasty) cheese were for some reason encrusted with sugar. Not really my taste I guess. Anyways, it was alright, but I just think for the price it's not worth it at all.

The food was generally very good. Great meat dishes and lovely battered squid. The Spanish tortilla was ok but couldn't taste any potatoes, seemed much more eggy than tortillas I've had elsewhere. We were keen to order a jug of sangria but at £34 a jug we were not impressed! We have been elsewhere for much less. Yes, this place is in a nice neighbourhood but the price of some dishes and especially the drinks seemed to be a little extortionate. Nice cosy inside atmosphere although very loud on a Saturday evening so be prepared to raise your voice to hear anyone else across the table.

Fantastic stop on upper street with chic interior and tables outside. We had the lunch deal for £10 + £2.50 with a coffee or soft drink. I had the chicken thighs and my husband had chorizo. They came with potatoes, salad and rice, it was an excellent combination. The meat was tender and well seasoned. The rice was soft, fluffy and tasty. The potatoes were seasoned well and the salad complimented the meal. I even sought the Chef out to thank him as it was very well deserved. An excellent choice and when in London next we will visit again as upper street has so much to offer.

Warm welcome and friendly staff, quite an intimate little restaurant with a cosy vibe. Food wise I didn't think it was particularly special and found the menu to be quite limited compared to others I had visited. Meat balls were very average with little flavour, chicken croquettes were the same. We also ordered the prawns but they came out 40 mins after the rest of out food , by this time we had finished so sent them back. Wouldn't rush back and feel there are much better / authentic options in London when it comes to tapas.

Between the two of us we ordered four plates and two drinks and paid around £85. Great for family, friends or even date night. Would go again for a nice occasion.

⠀ A very delicious and quiet restaurant, with traditional Spanish tapas-type food. I feel like it's the perfect place for lunch/dinner on Sunday. The people are super friendly and I loved all the dishes I ordered. ⠀ Highlights: - Spectacular Iberian ham - Grilled chorizo -Sangria

Food was delicious! Spanish omelette was great. The vegan mushroom croquettes with dried black olives… best food I’ve had in a longtime. Lovely staff too.

Being Spanish, I must say they have one of the best tortillas de patatas I’ve ever tried!! 100% recommended

Cena. Ci fanno accomodare fuori. 3 minuti e spengono le luci. Chiediamo di essere spostati all’interno per poter “vedere”. Ordiniamo ad una cameriera che sicuramente avrebbe voluto essere da tutt’altra parte. Assente! Ci vengono portati i piatti e ci viene detto che, se volevamo altro, avremmo dovuto dirlo subito perché la cucina chiudeva. Chiaramente abbiamo mangiato in fretta quello che avevamo ordinato, abbiamo pagato e siamo usciti. Sinceramente molto poco professionale e poco accogliente .lo staff

Grind Cafe never disappoints. The vibe is relaxed, the food hits the spot, and the service is always on point. Ali from the floor staff was especially helpful and friendly—made the visit even better

Great coffee and service. Experience was let down by the quality of the food. My Lantana breakfast was cold! It appears to save time the kitchen cook the sausages, bacon, mushrooms and tomatoes in bulk and let them sit on the side in metal trays getting cold. I passed on my feedback to the management! But not sure if the chefs will change this practise! Wouldn’t go again

I booked a table here for my birthday and went in there to check if they could accommodate to our needs 3 weeks before coming. I then booked a table and paid a 20£ deposit (which they said would come off out bill), when we got there the staff was incredibly rude and when I informed the guy that I had booked a table, he was very snarky with us because there was people sat at our table already. Then when it came to ordering we asked where we could order, they said through the app when my mother said we had somebody with an allergy at our table so therefore would feel safer ordering with a person, the guy said it wasn’t his problem and he continuously was quite mean to my mother. She said to him that she was asking nicely and that his response were rude and quite frankly mean he said “I know so what”. Save to say we got our drinks and didn’t even stay for a meal, my twenty pound deposit was not take off the bill as we had to order through the app. So would not recommend this place what so ever. I work in hospitality and quite frankly I was absolutely appalled by the behaviour of the staff.
