Unbelievable value great steaks cold beer what more do you need

It was a pleasure to have been in this restaurant, we were coming from Spain and it was very pleasant to find delicious, homemade food, everything was delicious, the patacón with everything, spectacular, good service and a warm atmosphere, we felt at home.

The best place to try Colombian food

Exactly what one would expect from a Colombian restaurant. Good food, good service and very popular little place, obviously a good experience all around.

Everything I have eaten has been very delicious, the service has been very good, always very friendly and attentive. A place that does not disappoint. Congratulations 🎊

I went today with my friends we was 8 people food was terrible , we ordered a bandeja paisa food small porción and plus the frigoles kind beans was bad I told the manager he didn’t care was rude and even apologies . Never coming back here I used to go before no problem at all but wha embarrassed bringing my friend for first time and dealing with this. Avoid going there and very expensive too

Service is nice but the starter of king prawn is totally disaster, it tastes not fresh at all

Great here was the Latin festival and excellent organization.

Walk past the establishment ad I had to catch a train. It looked interesting. If ever I am in the E&C area again I may call in.

Good food and always a good vibe

The food was good in general but the prices indicated outside are not the same as those inside on the menu, so I told the waitress why? And their response was that they had changed the prices that same day and they forgot to change the entrance price (lower prices) maybe it was a mistake but sometimes I think they do it on purpose so that you think it's "ok" and then When you sit down and order, it is already higher.

Great experience there, delicious food and good service from Tati :) Couldn't recommend it enough!

Good afternoon.!! I was in this restaurant on June 21, a Friday at lunch time (meals) with my family we came from Spain and when passing by the street it didn't seem very wow and we went in.. we were 3 adults and a 13 year old child we asked him to the waitress how much the menu was and she told us that 16 pounds the menu is supposed to be the first and a second plus the drink we proceeded to order 3 menus and the child ordered a tray paisa which I think does not reach 19 pounds And to drink, we ordered an aguapanela apart from the menu, we ordered a chicharrón to try it between 3 o'clock and the waiter told us that we are going to eat more?? I thought it was a little impertinent on his part since he is there to serve and provide pleasant treatment, not to question whether we are going to eat more or not..!! In the end, they only ordered one dessert and two coffees. When we asked for the bill, it was 90 pounds. I went to file a complaint because they had charged us incorrectly. Everything was broken down. The broth had not been charged. 7.99 pounds, the second was 10.90 pounds, and the aguapanelas were apart When a menu is supposed to come, we told the man who was at the cashier's desk and his response was that this is how it was charged... he didn't give me anything back since when we arrived they told us that the menu on a Friday was 16 pounds... argue with him but this site seems like a total SCAM to me..!! Oh, I won't go back and I will tell all my family and friends, I have many who live in London, not to go to that place because apart from Estafarte, they don't serve you well and they question whether you eat more or not... and the food can be said to be the tray. Paisa was very delicious but the menu, the sancocho was not delicious and the fried fish was over fried and it is a shame that the Latin people themselves are usurers..!!

Great Attention and Food to Experience those Unique flavors of Our Colombian Foods 💛💙❤️🇬🇧👍🏻👏

The service was nice If you like meat, this would probably be a great place. I am a vegetarian, lol. They need to step up to make vegetarian feel a bit better cause the vegetarian platter was not it. The fried food on the plate (the round ball were potatoes apparently and the long things I don't know if it was supposed to be cheese or potatoes), but both these things were not great. There are better quality fried food out there, so maybe a time for a change. What I really really liked, though, was the rice with the beans I could eat this all day!! If I had to come back, I would just order rice and beans, and I would not be disappointed. My drink was really good!!

Great food. Lovely, authentic atmosphere. Great service.

Excellent service, very generous portions and very good flavor. Super recommended.

This place is a lovely canteen style Columbian restaurant with lovely service and a good staff, the food is lovely, nice and simple with homely flavours - the only thing to warn is that the helpings are huge so be hungry when you arrive!

Good place but,High prices... Better places around the place with much low prices.

Food from the restaurant was cold and the empanadas were small

The food is very delicious, the attention is 100%

It went pretty well for us. The service was the best, thanks mainly to Oscar who attended to us with great kindness and patience. The patacón with everything left a lot to be desired and the shrimp ceviche full of tomato sauce (ketchup) which ended up being a sweet ceviche with no ceviche or shrimp flavor. Could be improved guys! The rest without complaints, a pleasant atmosphere to spend a pleasant day with the family. The churrasco is very good and the empanadas with chili are very good!! Greetings and thank you, we will return.

Excellent cuisine. For an expat having Colombian food in London was fantastic. I recommend the Bandeja Paisa...

Kevin. Very good. Thank you very much for your hospitality and service! Kevin, many thanks, very good service. The restaurant has a great selection of food and, really nice atmosphere. Bye.

Went there to try something new and did not dissapoint at all! Staff were lovely and welcoming, food and drinks were great will definitely be back.

Delicious food, very kind staff and excellent service.

Good meat, From the opinion of a chef, they should pay the same attention that they dedicate to the service since it was not balanced at all, I will still be back to try them since I am local

Super delicious, thank you Carlos, I congratulate you, everything is super delicious.

The service was excellent, so efficient and friendly, they dealt with a large group of us very well. All orders were spot on and they charged individually without a problem. The presentation of the food is very good but wasn’t flavoursome. Great access for wheelchair and prams. Could do with coat hungers.

Very authentic Colombian food, kind and friendly staff. Portion was big. I really enjoyed chicharron. I'll definitely go back.

Good place to have a good lunch and good service too.

Great experience. Taste food, with the best service. With colombian food, you can't go wrong

TERRIBLE SERVICE!!!!!! The staff is super rude and I don't know why they give reservations if they are not going to have them available

Good food and attentive waiters. Early in the day so a little down on atmosphere but a well worth experience London prices so as you would expect but not out of what was expected.

Very busy and popular. The food is amazing! Would return for sure.

Absolutelly gourgeous Colombian food. Is sooo good that we travel 6 hours to try it. Everytime we travel to London we stop at this place for food. We love it! La bandeja paisa es para morirse! Deliciosa!!!

Was in here with a big group (10 of us). Staff really friendly and accommodating. Good food and atmosphere.

It is a fairly spacious place with a pleasant atmosphere, the service was fast and friendly, the food was good, the empanada was very delicious and the Paisa tray was good, although the meat was very dry and lacked a little flavor in general, but in general it was good, the prices seemed in line with the area.

Food is good, the portions are gigantic. Waiters are very attentive and friendly

Nice flavours, great service. Fantastic cocktails...

Spacious and relaxed. Kevin made us feel so welcome. The empanadas and ceviche were delicious. Will definitely be returning with our children.

As a Colombian living in London I most say this place it's good if you want to try Colombian Food . Relaxed atmosphere , friendly staff, Family friendly ..good prices easy to get there

Chicharrón to die for Lovely food and staff

Very delicious, authentic food with a lot of flavor!

The best Colombian food restaurant in London. The quantity and quality of each dish exceeded our expectations.

The restaurant is very good, the service is very good, but the meat is horrible. I had been once and it wasn't that bad, that's why I took my husband last Saturday who knew a Latin place, we ordered a steak to share, it looked great, but the meat was full of veins, very tough, you couldn't compare it, it was Inedible, I let the waitress know, in the end we didn't eat the meat, I brought it to my house and boiled it for an hour. In Argentina that cut of meat would never be grilled. A disappointment since I went with my husband to celebrate our anniversary.

Good Latin place, good food and pleasant service, recommended 👍

Nice food , great service and value , family place

Spectacular food! Good paisa tray and a super delicious ceviche! They sang happy birthday to my mom, it was a great detail. Thanks for your attention! Marta, Tatiana and Ronald the best!

I have never received my order and just eat did not want to refund my money. Awful costumer service, my order have been handed to someone else instead.

In this restaurant they are not clear about the prices, depending on the day they usually charge more or less for the dishes and their weekends start on Friday, not on Saturdays like in the rest of the restaurants.

The best Colombian food in London!!!!

Incredible food, excellent quality and flavor. The place was very clean and the service was great. Definitely will comeback again.

Great value place. Big portions. Recommend the steak.

I visited the restaurant with my coworkers on Saturday and we had a great time, Tatiana provided us with splendid service.

When you get here you feel like you’re in Colombia! From the food to the hospitality I would highly recommend this restaurant for world class Latin cuisine.

Colombian place in London, excellent food and attention

Love this place, great authentic food and great atmosphere, I had the Bandeja Paisa and it was more than enough for a big portion. Will definitely recommend.

Very good food but very average service. There were several waiters and only 2 guys with beards were moving, the others were lost leaning on the bar. Good price quality and very good coffee.

Qué delicia todo!!! Recomendadísimo. Las empanadas, los patacones y el jugo de guanábanaaaaaa. Muy muy rico. Los meseros muy amables y el lugar muy agradable. Cuando vuelva a Londres, volveré a comer aquí. Gracias ✨

I felt at home, the food has a delicious seasoning and the service is excellent ♥️ The spectacular empanadas, the paisa tray, the patacones, soursop juice and lulo😌🥰 I will return whenever I visit London.

Estábamos de vacaciones por Londres y nos apetecía comida de nuestra tierra, puedo decir que de 10 todo, la comida, el Ambiente y cabe destacar el personal, atentos en todo momento, siempre ahí a lo que nosotros necesitáramos, cuando vuelva se a qué sitio tengo que ir a comer de nuevo. Gracias por tan magnífica atención

An amazing place and can’t wait to be back! The food was SO flavoursome and just beautiful! Staff were so kind and helpful just an overall perfect place for birthdays, intimate meals, family etc etc !

Pesima actitud la de esa gente nos recibieron de mala gana y nos echaron nos dijeron que esperaramos en la calle que xq estaba una mesa reservada que jente mas horrible esa

Estuve de vacaciones en londres y cene en este sitio y La atención de los camareros fenomenal.la comida calidad precio exquisita el local super acogedor.

Posto eccezionale, piatti ottimi ,ambiente caldo e accogliente. Prezzi giusti,da tornare

Restaurante colombiano ótimo! Boas comidas, atendimento bom, bom custo-benefício. Recomendo demais

Authentic colombian food! So delicious 😋

Entramos 7 adultos y 2 niños a comer algo a las 6 de la tarde, la atención fue buena , el servicio también y el tiempo de espera igualmente fue aceptable , lo que nos pareció muy mal hecho por parte del restaurante , lo cual no estoy seguro si fue el mismo local o fue el camarero , pero a las dos horas y después de haber pagado casi 300 £ y haciendo pedidos de comida para llevar y consumiendo varias bebidas , nos dijeron que debíamos dejarles la mesa libre pues les llegaban otros comensales , yo tengo experiencia de más de 25 años en hostelería y hoteleria y eso es algo impensable de hacer con unos clientes en cualquier restaurante europeo, muy poco tacto y profesionalidad , pues si necesitaban la mesa para que sirven bebidas y cobrando 2 cervezas a 11 £ para que nos estén levantando de la mesa , si al menos hubieran tenido el detalle de decir señores les invitamos a estas 2 cervezas que a ellos les sale de coste a menos de 3 £ pero porfavor desanlojeme la mesa en unos 10 minutos tan contentos se la dejábamos libre pero las sirven las cobran a 11 £ y encima dice el camarero si nos pensábamos quedar a dormir , increible , después de un gasto de 300 £ en 2 horas.

Unfortunately, the waiters at this restaurant left us waiting, had a rude attitude and bad one towards us. Plus the music was not at an appropriate volume for someone to enjoy their meal as the restaurant is not a disco. However, the food was really nice and appetising.

A bit desapointed! Fuimos a cenar ayer al restaurante y nada más llegar lo primero que escuchas es a uno de los camareros gritarte “cierre la puerta “ La velada fue bien luego, la sangria me decepcionó esta vez un poco amarga para mi gusto! No se si fue el limón o que le pasó! Volvería? Puede que si! Lo recomendaría pues depende a quien !

Good place to eat Colombian dishes 😋

If you're Latino... You better visit

The portion sizes are to kill for.. and tasty!! Best!

Mi lugar favorito para comer comida colombiana, bandeja paisa mi plato preferido, jugo de maracuyá en leche, lo mejor.

The restaurant is always good. Always on point.

Delicious charcoal-grilled meat at reasonable prices. Love this place.

Went on a Sunday and was amazing the food was incredible and came to our table really fast the restaurant interior was beautiful and our waiter Kevin was amazing and super friendly over all was an amazing experience and definitely would recommend

Mėsos, mėsos, mėsos...! Turbūt, kaip ir daugelyje Lotynų Amerikos virtuvių...?! Man nepaliko didelio įspūdžio, bet kas mėgsta sočiai pavalgyti mėsos - tai ši vieta - tiks...!

The delivery driver stole my order. I never got my delivery

Probably one of the best Colombian restaurants in London, if you want to try Colombian food this is the place to go. Well done. The service was smooth and excellent, the food was super tasty and portions were great (some people said it is a bit too much) but I can tell that for what you pay is worth it. Overall a good experience and definitely a place to go many times. This is a must visit. Well done Leños!

Wow! I’m from Colombia, and undoubtedly, this tastes like Colombia! I genuinely recommend empanadas. They are a little bit greasy, but those are also that way in Colombia, so be prepared haha. The cazuela de mariscos is spectacular! It's a dream! Talking about bandeja paisa, everything there is excellent except the meat. It's kind of tasteless. The service is not good 😞. Some people are rude, but others are so kind! I suggest making a reservation for the weekends.

Amazing food, great staff and very nice environment. We will come back!!

Delicious food, friendly & welcoming staff and very nice atmosphere. Can't wait to come back!

La comida estuvo deliciosa, pedimos un patacon con todo y fue excelente. Los meseros son muy atentos y siempre dispuestos a ayudar. Definitivamente volvería a comer allí

We had dinner but food was poor quality and had no taste. It was a really disappointing experience.

Good food and excellent service

Excelente atención, un pedacito de colombia en Londres

Recomiendo este lugar! La comida es deliciosa, el ambiente es acogedor y el servicio es muy bueno.

Para comer como en la tierra colombiana 🤤 😋 💕

As an Asian couple it can sometimes be intimidating to try authentic restaurants. However in leños and carbon we were welcomed very nice and received excellent service. Our waiter Kevin was really friendly and helped us with recommendations. He explained all the dishes and helped us choose. We loved all our food and will definitely recommend to our friends and come back again :)

Perfect for a coffee date. The baristas really know their craft.

For that authentic Columbian cuisine this place is a must! Add it to your bucket list! It's a very welcoming place to eat delicious food. The ambience gives the "Good Vibes Only" factor only. The serving is massive and you'll be like "hmmmm nom nom nommm" The staff are all very attentive and fast. Everything is delivered on the table piping hot. They allow birthday singers and oh what a glorious place to be at!!!

Fantastic food! Huge and yummy portions and the staff are lovely.

Visit the restaurant Sunday 22 /sep/23 Very disappointed with the order, very low quality compare to before, price’s very high, definitely never coming back

As a Colombian the food could be better but service and atmosphere is top tier if you go on the right day

Amazing restaurant, brilliant food and fantastic staff. Really fun place to relax. The empanadas are really good.

I have eaten in many Colombian restaurants they are all good but this one I feel like home made Colombian

It was brilliant, better than I expected, to be honest. Nice and cosy, met with friends, and it was real vfm. Would recommend.

Food was served in large portions but was not the best quality. We waited 40min to be seated even though we had a booking and it was clear our table hasn't been reserved beforehand. Waiters were nice but nowhere to be found most of the time.
