We hadn't been in awhile but thought we'd stop by for a drink and a couple nibbles as we always enjoy the food there. The service is usually great too in the restaurant section but since we weren't having a full meal, we thought we'd try sitting in the bar section. It wasn't a great experience unfortunately. The food and drinks were spot on, but the service was pretty poor. We weren't greeted when we came in, we had to ask for menus and service. The barkeeper wasn't very friendly and kept telling us to wait when there were only a few people in the bar. No smiles, and to then have to pay a service charge when the service wasn't great, it was slightly disappointing.

Door een smalle gang aan de straatkant kom je in een mooie ruimte. Professionele bediening. Heerlijke tapas, gulle porties. Kwalitatieve ingrediënten en eerlijke bereiding.

We just had a fantastic lunch here. Yes, it’s not the cheapest and not something we could do often but it was worth it. The food was lovely, well cooked and the service was was excellent. dealt with an allergy really well.

Waiting staff disinterested, miserable and uninformed. Table booked from 6.30 to 8.30. Ordered 12 plates between 4 of us. Order taken 6.45. 2 plates arrived at 7.00, had to ask where the rest were at 7.55, then the kitchen was informed and they rushed them out. As a result, the potato bravas were undercooked and I could have done better with something out of the freezer aisle at Sainsburys and a squirt of alioli. Food totally underwhelming and there was a mandatory service charge of 10%. £193 gets you a lot more elsewhere. Only got 2 stars as the wine was nice and the decor lovely. So disappointing as the reviews were good.

A truly authentic Spanish tapas restaurant in Ferring. A family birthday celebration and it didn't disappoint. A friendly welcome, attentive staff and high quality food made my birthday a very special occasion. So lucky to have this wonderful restaurant on my doorstep. Can thoroughly recommend.

We had a fantastic meal at Andalucia - really good food, great variety and we thought very reasonably priced. We had delicious cocktails and the service was excellent, with a really friendly and helpful waiter. We would definitely recommend and will be returning.

Popped in for a glass of wine whilst waiting for a very overdue bus. Friendly staff and excellent, and unusual, wine list. I didn’t eat in the restaurant, but it looked and smelled great. Seemed very busy for a small place in a village, so obviously locally well regarded.

Today was our first visit to the Andalucia - and it certainly won't be our last! Thanks to a very generous friend, we were given vouchers as a Christmas present, so decided to visit. I must say that this is the best food we have eaten in any restaurant within a large radius. We had the fish croquettes, followed by the garlic prawns, ribs, lamb skewers, potatoes with garlic mayo, cauliflower, then the cheeseboard and almond pie. Every dish was tasty and delicious. The food was served piping hot and the staff were incredibly helpful and attentive. Highly recommend a visit. It's not cheap, but you get what you pay for!

We’ve just moved to the area and this restaurant has been recommended to us by at least a dozen friends, so I booked. They take a card payment as a deposit which is ok with me, I understand they get let down. There wasn’t a great welcome in the bar area to be honest but the manager (via email) is addressing that. However, we each had a very nice cocktail in the bar and then we were taken through to the main restaurant and WOW! What a beautifully laid out space, lots of room between tables, comfortable seating and nice decor. The service was very good particularly by a young lady from Ukraine and a lady who I assume is a manager. Food was very, very good. Will certainly return.

Was a 5/5 last visit this time not as exceptional but still tasty food . Expensive but you do pay for good quality and of course tapas can be that more expensive . Omelette was fishy . Cauliflower still contained leaf although service is always friendly and attentive and I would recommend for very good food and drink .

Yesterday, we went to Andalucia to attend a flamenco performance. This was our last visit on the basis of a recommendation from a friend. Well, we will be back! It was outstanding in terms of the food, drinks, staff, and entertainment. We have already made reservations for the following flamenco event, and we have been informed that they have many more planned throughout the year. Their house band provided wonderful entertainment & music. True Spanish entertainment in a true Spanish restaurant—what more can you ask for? I cannot praise the quality of the food enough! The prawns were delicious, as were the lamb, manchego, and jamon. Myself and my friends cannot wait to try more next time- I’m already dreaming of more chocolate cheesecake. We definitely recommend the sangria too! Thank you, Andalucia, and keep it up.

In Summary: Wine Bar staff are the best element of Andalucia. The food is good. The restaurant staff let it down a little. There are too many tables squeezed in too close together. Try not to arrive early, waiting in the wine bar area is something I would prefer to avoid. The Wine Bar staff are very friendly and welcoming. They have a cocktail menu, although they are also happy to mix any cocktail you desire if they have the ingredients available. Because they book out places at the bar for people to eat, seating was a bit limited, so probably not somewhere I would come for more than one drink. As we had a table booked in the restaurant area we were happy to stand while we waited for our table to be ready (we had arrived a little early). Shown through to the restaurant, it's a very well-lit area at the back of the property and deceptively large. The decor is appealing, and although this is a tapas venue, they have resisted the urge to try to replicate a Spanish Taverna from the 19th century. Our table was not a great table to be honest. Tapas for two is always going to be a problem because the table will not be big enough to get all your dishes on. We ended up having to stack plates and rush to finish some dishes simply so we could make room for the next ones to be brought to the table. The waiting staff were busy. But not to the point of having to rush around, and I would say they had it about right in terms of numbers. Unfortunately, the service with a smile message so evident in the wine bar does not seem to have filtered through to the restaurant. I don't think I saw a smile all evening until it was time to pay. There was very little interaction from the staff, even to the point that plates were put on our table without telling us what they were. A couple of times we weren't sure which of the items from the menu we were eating! And I'm sure one of the plates was not what we ordered, but only realised half way through! It was very nice though so we didn't mind. The food was good. Patatas Bravas lacked the spice I would normally expect, but the Merzula (crispy hake) was superb. We had a generous bowl of Pimientos De Padron (Padron peppers), which were a pleasant change in colour on the table from the usual reds and oranges associated with Spanish cuisine. The chocolate mouse for dessert was, again, a good size portion which we probably could have shared. But, perhaps after tasting it you would not want to share! It was divine! Andalucia, for me, isn't somewhere I will rush to return to. At £150 for two (two drinks each, 9 dishes between us and a dessert each) I thought it was at the higher end of the price scale for a local (not town centre venue. I will go again, I'm sure, but more because I can walk home at the end of the evening.

4 of us visited for lunch. Firstly, the food was very good, although, as others have said, apart from the Patatas Bravas, the portions are small, especially when considering the price. 2 of our party had Irish Coffees, both of which tasted unlike any such Irish Coffee they had previously been served! We should really have brought that to the attention of the waiter. We didn’t have a large meal, and only one bottle of the cheapest wine plus 2 small beers, but the final bill worked out at £45 per head - ouch!

By the time this review is published it will be less relevant, but our experience needs noting! A favourite eatery in normal times, circumstances dictated that takeaway tapas was in order. Telephone ordering was a breeze; collection arrangements first class. And the food.....! Absolutely the same high quality product that we've come to know and love, we just had to eat it in our own home. It will be great to visit (sooner rather than later) once restrictions are eased and experience Andalucia as it should be, but in the meantime thank you for giving a taster (pun intended) of a great tapas restaurant.

Hard to find a local tapas restaurant in Worthing and this place was recommended. The food was really good. Probably the nicest meal we have had in recent years. I agree that the plates are small and expensive and we found that between two of us, six was the right amount. We had the prawns, calamari, pork belly, mussels, lamb and garlic potatoes. We also had some of the nicest desserts ever including the passion fruit cheesecake with coconut ice cream. I can't fault the food at all, it was really delicious. What I can take issue with is the Sangria which was £22 for a litre. That gave us one glass each of what tasted like watered down red wine and usually you can taste the spirits added such as brandy but this was actually quite bland and I suspect it was just red wine, ice and orange pieces. The meal costs £106 for two people which is very expensive in my view but as I said, the food was excellent. Avoid the Sangria. Mind you, as a large glass of white wine was £9.10, you are going to get fleeced on the drinks anyway.

Positives-Decor and atmosphere lovely and food generally nice without the "wow factor" Negatives-Overly expensive and inattentive service. I would suggest that each dish is 20% too expensive and without the attention to detail, service or portion size to justify. An example would be 3 meatballs for £8. A portion of peppers lacking the key ingredient (crunchy salt) for £6 plus. Steered clear of the steak tapas dishes which looked around £16!! Service was lacking and a couple of dishes and the jug of water for the table forgotten without an apology, no clear direction for staff or areas that they each looked after but a lot just hovering around. Overall the food nice but won't be rushing back.

Wonderful friendly, efficient service, felt very COVID friendly (in a good way), reasonably priced, delicious food with a good choice for all tastes, the only criticism, is that the food got cold way too quickly, as it was served on cold plates... the food was hot when it arrived at the table, but had no chance of staying warm on freezing cold plates - what a shame.

Firstly I will say they were the best prawns I have had in England. But at £11 for 4 prawns (ouch!) It isn't a cheap night. One thing I will say is table who arrived after us got served first. And some of our dishes came out before our first set of drinks, it's nice to have a drink and ponder the menu. We didn't get that. Great for two people to dine however some things that came out there were only three of.. bit annoying if there's four of you. The chorizo dish was hunt the chorizo slightly. Best porn star martini I ever had mind. Though the second martini...the prosecco shot was warm yuck. The food however was delicious there is no denying it was an amazing night for my taste buds. - didn't leave over full and uncomfortable that's the beauty of tapas I guess. Only other small tweak. It was a 30th birthday we did have balloons. Every place you go to normally offers some sort of complimentary shot or something... not acknowledged. So slightly disappointing. But had the best company in my other half who provided all the treats. I'd come again to celebrate Something...bit too expensive for just a weeknight...well, expensive for such a casual dress from the clientele. Have the lamb the Gambas and the padron peppers.

Menu could have a little more variety - ie only mushrooms on the special and lots of aubergines dishes! (In person like aubergine in our group). Also wasn’t sure how many u received of each item u received - ie 2 lamb kebab, 4Prawns. However that being said the waitress suggested we order 2/3 dishes each and share - so with the help of a couple of specials that’s what we did! We ended up with a nice selection and we all found quite a few dishes we enjoyed. Food didn’t come out altogether comes when ready. But every dish was lovely and tasty! Even had dessert - an almond and orange cake which was very light! Would go again - food was lovely. Some dishes can be expensive for the amount u get - but would recommend going in a small group to try all the different dishes!

We found this place on google search and it had great reviews so gave it a go. We were not disappointed. The place is deceptively large and care has been taken to meet Covid restrictions. Staff were polite, friendly and welcoming. The tapas were delicious. We’ll definitely been visiting again.

To have such a pleasant restaurant serving tasty tapas so close to home, especially as noone else offers the same without a lengthy drive, is good fortune indeed. Despite some of the reviews here suggesting otherwise, the food is well-prepared and consistently good. The menu isn’t vast and doesn’t seem to vary much but the Andalucia team is experienced at what they offer. The gluten-free choice is diverse and makes up a large proportion of the available dishes, so happy smiles all round. As with all tapas, the plates are served as soon as they’re ready, so ordering half a dozen dishes at once means a potentially odd combination on the table at any one time. Order in series if you’re particular about this.The service is good. Our server had been there just a couple of days but knew how to look after customers. She didn’t have all the answers but willingly acknowledged her limitations and quickly enlisted the help of more experienced staff. They did have the answers.The restaurant is tastefully and comfortably modern, well-lit and attractive. Covid precautions are evident although better signposting at the entrance would help. This is a now-and-then restaurant. The range of dishes means I wouldn’t want to cone back every week but I do look forward to enjoying lunch at Restaurante Andalucia again in a couple of months. Fingers crossed that Covid restrictions will still allow this to happen!

Visited mid week with our daughter to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Andalucia never fails to disappoint. The food was great, even with reduced menu. Extremely efficient staff. Hand sanitiser was available at entrance to the restaurant. Social distancing was being followed. I think they are doing extremely well in these difficult times.

Booked a meal for 4 people months ago for a 50th birthday this weekend.Surprised to receive a curt email informing me that it is cancelled & offered a 4pm slot!I appreciate these are difficult times, but we are a family of four and our meal would have easily have finished by 10pm.They didn’t even bother to respond to my email & for that reason we will never return.

Been here a few times and food never disappoints. We arrived no hand sanitizer in sight no staff in face masks or shields. Menu limited and laminated never once saw the menus wiped or cleaned in any way. This I must say put me off as we are living in strange times Hope they get these few things sorted just to make the place safe for everyone like I said cannot fault the food.

Visited on Friday evening for my daughter’s birthday. Food was lovely & staff great. (We were served by a very efficient & friendly waitress from the Alicante area ) One concerning issue, in these days where Covid 19 infections are on the rise , none of the staff were wearing face masks & as far as I could see there was no hand sanitiser in the restaurant. They did take our contact details which was something. I do think they need to be more Covid aware & up their game before they end up having to close because a guest or staff member has tested positive. Also our greeting could have been warmer. The staff ought to have been more aware of our reservation & it would have been nice not to be left standing like lemons as they scrambled about pouring over their reservation list trying to locate our booking.

I’ve been meaning to come here for some time, after reading some great reviews. The food was excellent. Only one small niggle. After seeing a billboard outside, advertising buy one get one free cava cocktails, we decided to order 2. The bill came, we’d been charged for both! The waitress said ‘it only applies to the bar, not the restaurant’! Perhaps they could point this out to the customer. Other than that, we had a very enjoyable lunch.

Friendly service, delicious tapas (the chorizo was a favourite) and a nice atmosphere. Felt a little expensive, but is somewhere to go for a treat.

My other half and I went to Andalucia for our date night. It was recommended to us by friends and we weren’t disappointed. The food was delicious, we ate so much because we wanted to try everything. Looks like we will have to return to eat more of the menu. The lamb and pil pil were phenomenal.

My wife booked this for our anniversary. When we got there we were told our table was in the bar ( not informed at time of booking) . The bar area was very noisy with quite a loud hen party. We said we couldn't eat in the bar with the noise as I wear hearing aids and struggle generally , so was offered a table at the back of the restaurant, but informed we could only have it for 1 hour, so all in all a poor evening and staff not friendly at all and slamming down 2 glasses of wine. We have been here a few times before but this will be our last as we were not made to feel welcome.

Nice looking place and pleasant staff. This is unfortunately not enough . . . the food needs to rise beyond bland. Unfortunately, it was not only bland, but also badly cooked - who manages to scorch the pimentos de padrón correctly, yet somehow manages to undercook them? As for seasoning, forget it - some tapas were plain nasty, and the whole experience cost over £70 for two with only a couple of glasses of wine. The best thing about the meal was the coffee at the end which was authentic and delicious. All rather sad, and not an experience I shall hurry to repeat.

We have lived in a Rustington for quite a few years now and have often meant to try Andalucia. We went for lunch today, and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We started with Mancheo cheese with red onion relish and toasted bread with tomato and anchovy., then had meatballs with spicy sauce and lamb skewers. The food was so tastywe just had to try a dessert ! We both had Almond tart with ice cream, the tart was as light as a feather and the ice cream had to be home made it had so much flavour ! The meal was not cheap, but having gone without ourholiday abroad it was a welcome treat ! We will be going back soon.

Met with friends after hearing good things about this tapas bar.Cannot fault anything on the food or service which was one of the best experiences I have had recently, lovely staffStand out dish for me was the plate of hams, stunning.However, in these days of Covid, I have to say was a bit surprised to see that the staff were not wearing face coverings. We all know they are a pain but I would have liked to have seen this.Tables were reasonably spaced , not sure the recommendation of 2 metres for some.Difficult times for all eateries so we should support them.Cannot comment on a previous review who felt the portions had been reduced. Given we probably had 14 dishes between 4 of us I left having an elegant sufficiency.Returning again to the previous review please bear in mind eateries have had no income for three months and face a tough future.Life I am afraid will not be like it was in March 2020 in the future!
