Lamama in Sheffield

Absolutely 5* I can't believe we've not been here. 15 years old this year. Such good food. Tapas to die for. Flavours and combinations of amazing ingredients that surprised and delighted us. I love limes! The best pork belly ribs I've ever had. Due in large part to chef's stunning homemade barbecue sauce. Ask him how he made it! Be sure to have their green beans (perotos verdes). Soooo good. Waiter & chef available to guide whilst exuding passion and warmth for their food and guests.

Had a lovely dinner here with a friend. Everything was pretty much perfect - pleasant decor, very friendly and unpretentious service, and excellent food. We had cocktails, beer, and four tapas we shared and that was plenty for us. Would have loved to try dessert but were both full. Excellent option for a stylish but relaxed night out.

Truly excellent food and service 👌 Tapas with a South American twist!

Me and my pookie came here last week. The food and service was fantastic. The chorizo in mint sauce was to die for 👌

La Mama is the most beautiful restaurant with stunning food and lovely staff, will always recommend!!! :)

First visit and had a great experience. Service was superb from everyone and the food amazing. Will be back again soon.

My friend recommended La Mama and so we decided to try it out; I have to say it was fantastic. In our group of 3, one was vegan and I'm gluten free. There was plenty of choice and the service was great; all the dishes tasted amazing and the atmosphere was lovely. Pricing was very reasonable and I'm not going to lie...best green beans I've had in my life! Will definitely go back and kicking myself we haven't come sooner (been living in the area for almost 2 years) The bill for 3 people; plenty of food; one Cocktail each and dessert was £115 including tip; very good value.

Had a really lovely evening. Food and atmosphere were great. It is tight seating at times, there was only 2 of us and we did feel a bit in the way, having to budge in for people to get past. The food was really tasty though 😋

Amelie was such a wonderful waitress, it was our first time and she made our experience extra special. The food was delicious; Amelie recommended the pumpkin bread which was fab and everything else we ate was delectable. Thank you for a wonderful time, we will be returning! ❤️

Great place and delicious food, so special! Can't wait to go back!

Lovely little tapas restaurant. 5 of us went and had 11 dishes, which were all delicious (especially the ribs and meatballs), and it was easily enough to fill us all up. Would definitely recommend.

The most amazing place. The staff and food are simply amazing. Thanks for making us feel so welcome. We had around 12 plates of food and everyone was superb. 5 Stars

This place is the best - we simply love it. The food is spectacular. Can't wait till our next visit.

A very different night out but unfortunately it didn't quite meet our expectations. Food ok but quite expensive for what is was. When the best meals on the table were the uncooked ones it tells you alot. Shame really as this restaurant has a great niche and opportunity, hoping this helps the restaurant 👍

vegan 🌱 options clearly marked on the menu. Daniele the owner was lovely and really looked after us and explained all the dishes. Myself and @thesheffieldvegan shared some dishes: Sopaipillas al Pebre - fried pumpkin 🎃 bread 🍞 with a delicious garlicy 🧄 tomatoey 🍅 salsa dip. One of my favourite dishes a bit like nachos with the crunchy texture. Champignons rellenos They kindly adapted the mushrooms 🍄 to be veganised 🌱 with advanced notice 😁 they were delicious and a generous portion too! These days vegan cheese 🌱 🧀 is easily available, so if they did want to introduce a vegan/dairy free option to their menus it would be fab and definitely encourage more vegans & dairy free patrons to dine here. Albóndigas Veganas - vegan meatballs it was really nice to have these seitan & soy meatballs as a protein option with yummy basil oil on top a great texture and plenty of sauce. 😋 Porotos Verdes - fried green beans They were delicious, well flavoured with smoked paprika, oilve oil and pine nuts but a little too salty for my tastebuds but others may find it ok. Arroz - rice The meatballs in sauce went well with the rice, it was quite limey alone though. Papas Bravas - fried potatoes with a spicy tomato sauce. They were delicious well cooked potatoes and crunchy. With a tangy spicy tomatoey sauce. Which we got on the side as I can’t really have much spicy food 🥵 Desserts- Churros were not vegan sadly, but they did have a lovely Mango 🥭 sorbet with homemade berry coulis or chocolate & caramel cheesecake type tart which was delicious! The alcohol-free aperol spritz and coffee with oat milk were gorgeous and really great tasting coffee too. 🤤 My submarino was a nice strong but milky coffee with grated chocolate on the bottom to stir. Scratch made food by chefs and lovely cosy romantic atmosphere vegan 🌱 dishes are priced at £6-8. We ordered 6 between 2 and there was plenty with a few leftovers too! Our waitress Amily was lovely. We would recommend it and return here yes. Support independent restaurants and businesses #sheffieldissuper 😊 Our Meal was a blogger group *invite/partially gifted but an honest review given 🙂

Lovely evening with friends trying something very different. It's not a bad night with average to good food

Such a fun place to eat! Great food, lovely staff and quick service. Particularly recommended for vegetarians or coeliacs/those who are gluten free. There’s lots of choice and the staff are very on the ball about allergens.

Amazing restaurant! A lovely atmosphere with an incredible menu, highly recommend.

Extremely expensive. All dishes £9.50-10+. Drinks all over £8. 5 King prawns for £9.50 4 chicken wings for £9.50 G&T - £8. For small tapas dishes these shouldn't be anymore than £6 a dish!. Food was OK but nothing special for extortionate prices. Won't be going back.

Lively venue. Really good tapas and a decent portion size. Three each is more than enough. Reasonable drinks prices and nice cocktails.

Has to be in the top 3 meals I’ve ever had- the flavours are amazing and the food melts in your mouth. The restaurant was full on Saturday night and the staff were still really attentive and made sure we had an amazing time. Thank you so much!

Excellent meal in a lovely Spanish feeling setting. Been to andalusia a lot and the food in this restaurant seems pretty authentic. Gluten Free items clearly marked on Menu. Highly recommended.

Estaban!! - our main waiter - MADE this experience wonderful. He was very attentive, really lovely and super approachable. I really enjoyed the green beans and potatoes and my bestie enjoyed the whitebait and calamari. All the dishes were definitely big enough for two people to split! The bill doesn't come with service added, but we were more than happy to add! I definitely recommend booking as you wouldn't have got a table on the weekend without doing so. It's a popular restaurant for a reason. Enjoy x

Wonderful food, lovely atmosphere, great friendly service. Thanks, La Mama, for another lovely evening. We used to visit before the pandemic, and we weren't disappointed on this our first return since then.

Had an amazing time here, food was delicious and the service great

A fantastic restraunt! Cheerful and friendly service and the food was lovely.

Best restaurant I have eaten in years. Not just the staff but the atmosphere and the boss too. Could eat there every day. Thank you so much for your warm welcome.

Fantastic atmosphere and food! Will be back for more!!!

This is an absolutely stunning little find! The atmosphere is delightful, all staff are welcoming, smiling, happy to have you there! The food is absolutely delicious.. outstanding! We will definitely be back again!

Went to la mamas a few weeks ago with my partner, the food was incredible and the staff was extremely accommodating and efficient Amira was a lovely waitress, with amazing service -would recommend! 👍

Bottomless brunch was lovely. The lady that served us was a delight. Thank you so much.

Lovely food and some unusual options. The green beans were delicious. It seemed like a lot of care and attention went into the food and drinks and it had a relaxed atmosphere when we were there

Food was absolutely incredible! Lovely people! Amelie was the most efficient and incredible waitress! Would recommend

Love this restaurant have been many times. Food is always excellent as is the service.

Authentic with a spin! Staff attentive and couldn’t do enough 😃 the pumpkin bread was unreal!

We chanced it on a busy Friday night and got lucky to get a table, so glad we did! The staff bent over backwards to accommodate our needs, cocktails were lovely and the food arrived quickly. All enjoyed by all, especially the green beans! See you soon!

Early evening outing staff very accommodating and friendly about finding us a table. Informed discussion of allergies and changes to accommodate. The 'fusion' of Latino and Spanish produced some variations. Sadly the core components of dishes were served in very intense relishes / herb/ spices. Fish in Lime (fish cooks in lime) was far too tart and over cooked. Whitebait hard to taste against the amount of garlic. Desert course easily the best. Would not go back

Fabulous tapas, very varied menu Busy evening, staff were great, food came very quickly at first but a wait for dessert. Will definitely return and recommend 👍

Definitely recommended - great food and very authentic. We over-ordered and had plenty of wine. £45 each, not bad. Will be back.

Thank you for inviting me to this atmospheric place in Sheffield. I recommend!

Great staff welcome, and excellent service. Very very tasty tapas and wine. Great value. Will dream of those chicken wings tonight

The staff were exceptionally friendly! They kept checking on us to see if everything was alright and the restaurant is beautifully decorated! The food was delicious! I don't know the last time I enjoyed my food that much! It was so tasty, I was stuffed at the end of our meal. Overall, it was brilliant and I totally recommend this lovely restaurant!

I can't recommend this place enough. All the staff were super friendly and very knowledgeable about the food on the menu. The food was amazing , the atmosphere was great. The owner was so lovely and welcoming I shall be recommending this place to all my family and friends.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Never been here before but i have to say it was an excellant time food was very good as was the drijs and service look forward to going again.

Ate there for a friend's birthday and the food was sooo good!!! The staff were lovely and we had a great time

Great service,and really nice place inside.Dishes are quite expensive though i know it's tapas but when paying 8 pounds per dish would expect slightly larger portions ,so would go again but not for a while.

It’s nice to support local family run businesses. The food had the potential to be great. I think we choose the wrong dishes though. The ribs were outstanding. The green beans 😋. Server recommended the dishes which is always a gamble, but all in all. I would try again.

Honestly one of the best restaurants in Sheffield. The service is great and the staff are knowledgeable. The atmosphere is very nice. Really recommend for anyone looking for something different. Potato's bravas 👌🏼 Scouse really looked after us and made us laugh. Thank you !!

We booked for five when we arrived there was only a very small table for four and my son had to sit at the end of the table in the aisle with people bumping into him. The music was so loud that even though the table was so small we couldn't hear each other speak. My son was treating me for my birthday and I had driven from Norfolk for the occasion. So we were all very disappointed

Great atmosphere and the food was really nice. Staff were also very good. Would go again

If you enjoy tapas that's full of flavour, this is the place to go!!!

Everything perfect. Delicious food and fantastic service to our big group. Vibe was excellent for early on a saturday night and the drinks kept coming.

Went as a group for a Christmas meal and had a great time. Very accomodating staff and delicious food. Couldn't fault it at all !

Managed to fit a table of 7 in very last minute. Atmosphere was buzzing. Very friendly and capable staff. The only problem with the food was that I couldn't manage to eat any more!

FABULOUS night out with my other half. The ceviches and the padrón peppers were PERFECT. The cheese empanadas were CLOSE to perfection too we just thought they could be a little more well done on the outside, but it was full of cheese and just super close to perfection too. Can't wait to go back😋

Quite possibly the nicest restaurant in Sheffield. Daniella and her team make a real point of making you feel welcome. The food is outstanding.

Amazingly delicious tapas! Also, above and beyond help to fix a problem of our own making.

I was lucky enough to win a bottomless brunch at La Mama Tapas on Abbeydale Road. After a slightly sticky start where they forgot we were coming that night and they had no brunch food or drinks in, it turns out to be a really yummy fun meal. The chef managed to whip us up some amazing Mexican Arepas. These are like burgers but the bread is made out of corn and taste good but they were a bit dense and heavy. We tried all the different fillings but the beef was my favourite. We also had (far too) many drinks, the best being margaritas with chili flakes in. Dangerous but very tasty. Great fun but been suffering for it all day today 😅 The only thing was it was really quiet. No one else was there as the brunch was from 3pm on a Saturday which is a bit of an odd time. I was expecting a bit of a brunch atmosphere but I guess the word needs to get out more. ✅️ LOCATION 5/5 ✅️ WAIT TIME 5/5 quick! ✅️ TASTE 4/5 good food. ✅️ VALUE 4/5 it was free for us but usually £30-£35 each ✅️ATMOSPHERE 2/5 20/25 good food but I would go a different time when it's busier.

Had one of the best nights in a restaurant I have had. The food was amazing and great value for money. We were the only 2 people left in the restaurant at the end of the night but a lovely waitress called Carolina made us feel very welcome. She even gave us a brief 5 minute salsa lesson which was a great added service! She is amazing and I hope we get to see her again when we next go! Thank you

Very nice place! Kind staff and great food definitely combine to make a great restaurant that I can gladly recommend to anybody in Sheffield.

Great selection of things for vegetarians and not oily like tapas sometimes is. Feels very authentic.

The food is out of this world. The atmosphere is warm and comforting. The staff are friendly. Couldnt ask for a better evening

Really nice food and service was very good to.

The food was absolutely spectacular! We had the full vegetarian tapas selection and it was divine! The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and made our experience one to remember. Finished off with a cocktail of course which I've never tasted anything like before ❤

Great food, good wine, friendly service and a cozy atmosphere. Recommend 👍

Possibly the best tapas in Sheffield! Amazing night well looked after

Got to be the best food I have had from any restaurant I've been to. Absolutely wonderful.

Fantastic food & Atmosphere with great service, can't wait to go back.

Fantastic place! The service was excellent! The food delicious! Every dish was amazing. Not been in a long time, but will be visiting again soon!

Best food and atmosphere, always an amazing night out.

Fantastic staff and atmosphere, enjoyed the food & selection!

Awesome tapas and lovely service. Cosy.

I've wanted to try this place for quite some time ! Such a pretty restaurant from the outside and so cosy and homley yet lively inside ! 🍖🫒🧀🍅We had some cold mezze nibbles a veggie and carne board to share. Delicious Garlicy salty olives , tasty cheeses and flavourful cured meats as well as delicious fried sticks of pumpkin bread (a must try) to dip in a very galicy salsa. We ordered and shared a variety of tapas dishes including 🍖🍵Puffed pork rind with a BBQ dip, Crunchy light and addictive 🍤 Chile prawns, Super tasty Garlicy and spicy juicy prawns, always a fave of mine 🦑Calamares Fritos, salty crispy and a creamy dip, so moreish. 🍖 BBQ ribs (costillas de cerdo) , wow so good! Very meaty picante belly pork ribs and the most amazing BBQ sauce , delicious. 🥟 Carne empanadas . Crisp and extremely flavour full filled with chilli mince and egg. 🥫Tuna cake salad thingy (causa rellena) 😂 this was unusual but very fresh tasting , limey and light. Desserts were also delicious and between is we shared 🥖Churros sticks with dulce deleche and chocolate dips , the nicest Churros I've had. 🥧Baked cheese cake with a rasberry sauce. Really good ! 🍮🍊orange creme brulé. Total show stopper for me, loved this dessert. 🍷We also had several jugs of sangria which I love and could drink gallons of given half a chance 😂 Overall an excellent meal and experience in a lovley setting with great service. We definitely reccomend for any occasion. We will be back.

Lovely relaxed atmosphere gorgeous food

Fantastic food, will definitely be coming back!

Food is beyond compare. Staff are brilliant...wine is superb.. ambience is relaxed cool love this place.

Food was delicious. Cannot fault a single thing and Goni's service was fab!

Went for a girls date night and was AMAZING! Such tasty food and fantastic atomosphere. Brilliant cocktails you have never tried and fantastic home cooked food. Highly recommend will go many times. Owners came over had a chat and genuinely care about their customers Much better than any chain you can go too highly highly recommend.

Probably the best tapas I've had, try the crab dip!

Lovely food, friendly staff, warm and welcoming. Highly recommended.

The food and service were amazing, lovely atmosphere and somewhere I would highly recommend.

Always a treat, and a warm welcome.

Lovely atmosphere, friendly and efficient staff and good food

Delicious food, friendly service and a safe atmosphere.

We stopped on the off chance and sat outside on a warm evening. The good was lovely and in the main the service was good. Would definitely go back if in Sheffield again.

Lush food Great service Great choice Great vibe One negative... Messed up booking so did not eat until 10pm

Amazing little restaurant great atmosphere and the food was amazing! Personally recommend the chorizo stew 🍲

Really enjoyed the food here very strong flavours ,the service was second to none and we couldn't recommend more, we don't normally tip but we did here

Friendly service with a smile, messed up rectified straight away (within three minutes) I recommend this place.

Gorgeous food, lovely lovely staff and fantastic atmosphere - I absolutely love La Mama!

Absolutely lovely restaurant! Amazing food, friendly staff and a real authentic feel. It was super busy with a positive vibe, full of people having a good time. Thoroughly recommend coming here, cheap food & drink that does not hinder on quality 👌🏻

Excellent food. Excellent atmosphere. Excellent service

The service and food was exceptional, staff couldn't do enough for us and all the dishes we had was of high standards will definitely be going again

Great food, great service and lovely atmosphere.

Lovely food and service but uncomfortably loud. They need to add some soft surfaces to absorb the noise. Didn't help that one woman in there sole aim was to make herself centre of attention. Would go back but perhaps during the week.

Really lovely evening, fabulous food and a relaxing authentic atmosphere. Great friendly staff, would highly recommend

On the 17 July 2021 Daniela and her team hosted our wedding meal at her beautiful restaurant. The service and food were out of this world. This led to an amazing experience for all. The food was the freshest and tastiest tapas style food ever. We all enjoyed it so much and will be returning soon

Probably one of the best restaurants in Sheffield. The food is amazing, tasty well presented and well priced, with Staff that are very friendly and the host being one of the most genuinely interested in her customers needs and wants, that I have ever seen.. beautiful surroundings, beautiful food that's beautifully priced with beautiful staff. What more could you possible want from a dinning out experience? Out of 10, I rate La Mama Latin Tapas bar.. 11 out of 10.

With my granddaughter this afternoon fabulous food and great service. ❤️

The food is incredible! I recommend going for the fried beef patties - one of the nicest things I’ve ever tasted! I don’t remember the last time I’ve enjoyed a meal as much as this evening.
