The service is awful, very slow & the waiter served other tables that came in after us! The food was OK but for the price not worth it!

Service wasn’t great, table wasn’t ready so we had to stand around for a while and I had to tell 3 different people my name and reservation so they could find it on the system, just felt very disorganised. The cocktail and food list is more extensive online. Once we ordered it took them less than 5 mins to bring the food out - so clearly isn’t prepared fresh, all our food came at the same time so a lot of it went cold. Food was okay nothing special just pretty average, honestly, the tomato bread was the best and part. The staff never asked us if we enjoyed our meal. The lighting is way too bright ruining the ambiance.

Don’t get the shrimp (gambas). They don’t wash them and they’re GRITTY! Otherwise the food is good.

Very expensive even by London standards. Food we had was only okay. Most disappointing was the chicken thighs which were overcooked. Thighs. Overcooked. That takes effort. :-(

First time I came to this restaurant (and definitely will not be the last time). The food was delicious and accommodating to my vegetarian diet (credit to the chef). I had vegan paella and the Aubergine. To match the amazing food was the staff, Maria and Zach went over and above in customer service, I look forward to coming back and working my way through the rest of their menu!

The authenticity, food quality, and atmosphere at La Gamba make it an excellent choice for those looking to escape the touristy options along the Southbank. However, what truly sets it apart is the attentive staff, who go above and beyond to ensure customers feel welcome and well taken care of. Highly recommended.

Its ok. But this is Southbank and I expected better. It was pleasant, clean, service was ok, atmosphere was ok, the food was pretty good though quite a limited tapas menu from my experience at other tapas restaurants. I would say from the choice in the area this is probably the more higher end, but just not high enough. As I said the food was pretty good so just dont expect an overall amazing experience. Is ok.

Been to this location roughly three times and it’s been great every single time. The Gambas of course steal the show but don’t miss out on their whole fish. The patatas are the only poor thing on the menu from my experience. Unfortunately not flavorful or crispy just very meh. The dessert is here is also great.

We were a large group who booked in for a pre-theatre dinner. My expectations on Southbank restaurants isn’t high but La Gamba has changed this, we were all pleasantly surprised and everyone remarked on how delicious the food was. We all opted for the set-course menu tapas - superb value with excellent portion sizes. We had most options between us, the steak, cod cheeks, prawns, aubergine, goats cheese salad. Everything excellent. Our large table was served speedily and everyone left with a smile on their face.

The food is diabolical. Honestly inedible. We ordered 6 dishes - only one that was slightly edible was the chick thighs. Worst patatas bravas ever had. Prawns; Disgusting and with the veins and dirty stuff all in. But overall just bad quality prawns too and bad seasoning. The jamon (ham) fritters were complete mush. All of it was awful and didn’t get eaten except the chicken thighs. Service was great otherwise and nice location but worst tapas we’ve ever had. Do not recommend.

Great tapas. Every thing we had was lovely with the Mussels and Chorizo along with the Goats Cheese Salad with Figs being particular good. Good service despite it being a very busy time. Lovely atmosphere and an excellent location on the South Bank. Perfect for an early dinner when attending an event at the Royal Festival Hall or The National Theatre. As it was busy at 6:30 pm on a Saturday, with people waiting, I would recommend booking.

Food is okay. Service non-existent. Our food arrived earlier than our drinks order. The food came all separately and randomly. The food is okay but not great. The tables are organised in a crowded manner. My friend who was a female and I split the bill and the waitress gave me dirty look and told me how as a man I should pay for the full bill. The cheek of it! It seems like the next generation doesn't believe in equality and independence of women. 😂 I will never return. I get better service in Nandos and at least a 20 year old doesn't lecture me about how to hold up patriarch stereotypes.

We came here for a celeberation meal and the food and service was absolutley immaculate! When telling the staff that my Dad was hard of hearing and therefore struggled to hear in the middle of the room they kindly moved us towards a wall and where very helpful and friendly the whole night. The food was amazing - I specifically reccomend the padron peppers, prawns and aubergine but everything was delicious and fully worth the price. I would just reccomend to try keep the door closed or partially ajar as it got a bit chilly, but apart from that the atmosphere was lovely. Great and unique decor. Would come again, thank you :)

We went to eat at this restaurant, some things were acceptable, then we ordered the secreto ibérico and it was a disaster, the plate was small at 27 pounds and full of oil!!! The creme brulee was not a cream, the consistency was watery and what's more, we felt sick at night! The place has a beautiful location and the restaurant is very nice but I would never go back there again! It has nothing to do with Spanish cuisine!

A sharing experience.. A day with family, or friends? Take your love one on a date? I saw everyone enjoying as me and my family. The service by @ZAK was on point. He checked for allergies right away and then double checked our order on the first round of food, as we arrived hungry and took advantage of many items on the menu. Please come with a large group if you want to explore.. a few bites of each plate is the "Tapas" theme of a place like this. Just 2 of you? It's still great food and any item is labeled with its size and you can enjoy one item as a typical meal if you pick a large. The food was super tasty and filled me up with all the good vibes. It's a talking atmosphere, so it's a bit loud with great conversation and a few short bursts of laughter. Take it all in here the place is beautiful with a large patio for outdoor dining. MAKE A RESERVATION FOR BEST SERVICE. 👌 I HOPE YOU ENJOY.. Sorry no photos on this post. We all demolished the plates and we're too deep in chat to take the phone out. RARE FAMILY EXPERIENCE!

Came here yesterday with a few friends for Wing Wednesday and I can honestly say they were the worst wings any of us had ever had. The meat is average quality, but they put SO MUCH breading on the wings, the amount of crunch is actually painful. That's before we get to the buffalo sauce. Apparently it's 'World Famous', but honestly, the only thing I can think it's famous for is the INSANELY high salt content! You know that tingling feeling you get when you eat something spicy? I thought my tongue was tingling for that reason, but no, it soon became apparent that it was from the amount of salt they put in this 'World Famous' Buffalo Sauce. Then there is the speed at which they serve them. They take forever to bring out the next plate of wings because they clearly know that the longer you're eating, the more full you will get, so the less wings you will eat. The only redeeming features of this trip were the atmosphere and the friendly staff. If not for these, it would be a solid 1* review. Just don't do the Buffalo Wings!
