Sabor in Wandsworth

Fuimos a este restaurantes atraídos por la alta calificación y buenas críticas y estuvimos realmente decepcionados. El servicio es bueno, pero la calidad de la comida es de mala a mediana. Algunos ingredientes no eran frescos, incluidos frijoles rojos y guacamole. La carne era dura. Lejos de la cocina casera colombiana.

I have been to Colombia 4 times but this was the tastiest Colombian meal I have ever tasted. It took a while for the food to be cooked but when it came it was well worth it. Bags of flavour and seasoned to perfection. Delicious.

Don’t be put off by the cafe like decor, the food is exceptional. We had beef empanadas, which were superb, followed by the Banjeda Paisa and Bistek A Caballos. Highly recommend.

The food is delicious and the customer service is excellent, definitely recommend this restaurant. Come to sabor try bandeja paisa or empanadas.

Being vegetarian and loving Latin American food can be complicated, but this restaurant offers an amazing vegetarian version of the Bandeja Paisa that is both healthy and delicious. The service is great and the prices are absolutely reasonable. Very much recommended for both meat eaters and vegetarians!

Fabulous family run restaurant. Enjoyed the Latin music that accompanied my meal. Would recommend the lunchtime special which includes soup, main and a drink!

Filling, tasty and hearty food in a welcoming atmosphere in this small cafe/restaurant next to Tooting Bec station. Empanadas were very good and the bandeja paisa (a huge platter including pork, bean stew, sausage, plaintains, rice and fried egg) was terrific. As you would expect from a Colombian restaurant, the coffee is excellent.

What a meal!! We live in Balham and had no idea this little gem was just up the road. The empanadas were amazing but the bandeja paisa was 👌. Club Colombia too! Will be back :)

Obligatorio para todo amante de la comida! Restaurante familiar y todo está hecho en el restaurante, absolutamente todo. Gran hospitalidad y comida es para morirse. Muy sabrosa y fresca. Volvería una y otra vez. Probar su bebida colombiana de caña de azúcar. De hecho, probar todo en su menú

Popped in for lunch for the first time in this cosy little place today not knowing what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised with delicious food, nicely cooked and presented well on a wooden platter.

El sitio es muy bonito y moderno, por otro lado la comida es muy buena para los que extrañamos la comida de nuestra tierra, recomiendo las arepas y la bandeja paisa de este lugar.

I have been to many colombian restaurants in London, and for me this is the best one. Place is modern and clean and the food is well presented and always delicious

Big portions, friendly staff, good food. Would recommend to anyone looking for some good food in Tooting.

I went with a couple of friend to bisit this place, is rigth next to the tube station so there...

Después de vivir en casi 2 años yo lo intentaría que he pasado Sabor todos los días y siempre había dicho que volvería después de atrapar una fluya de comida deliciosa.

El propietario de mujeres que la especialidad país recomendado era increíble y una gran parte! Encantadora pareja me company. Sin duda comer aquí de nuevo! !

Gran ambiente en un pequeño restaurante familiar, donde el servicio es siempre muy amable y el ambiente es muy acogedor, con un buen menú de comida colombiana, y realmente saludable que encaje muy bien con lo que mi esposa y yo recientemente en un viaje allí a Bogotá y Cartagena, donde los platos de carne son de un estándar muy alto. Hemos estado en este restaurante en particular, y nunca hemos dejado decepcionados, y siempre muy satisfecho. Está idealmente situado, junto a la estación de metro yo lo intentaría bec. La pareja propietaria del restaurante son muy agradables y entusiastas acerca de su país, que considero tan importante y parte integrante de la comida. Saludos, Rod McIntosh.

Comida colombiana en Londres, al lado de Tootting Bec Station. Pedí la Bandeja Paisa, muy ricos los frijoles, el chorizo en su punto, el chicharrón carnudo, arepa y tajadas. De postre brevas con arequipe. Un ambiente agradable y limpio.

Brought my mum here & found it to be so clean & lovely. The juices are fresh & delicious, the coffee is lovely & the food is amazing! The portions are big & the food is fresh. It is family owned & the family are lovely. Will definitely be coming back :-)

Overall, a great meal; the pork for the arepas was cooked to perfection, the empanadas were fantastic and the juice drinks are definitely worth getting as well. The staff were also very friendly and the prices are reasonable.

Despite having been opened for 3 years only recently I discovered Sabor. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the dishes sampled. Sabor is definitely now my favourite Colombian restaurant, having had many disappointed Colombian meals in London. The decor is tasteful and clean with interesting quotes on the wall plus friendly service from the owners.

Un buen restaurante colombiano a tener en cuenta en el sur de Londres, justo en la estación de Tooting Bec.Las arepas rellenas son excelentes, la de pollo y carne mechada 100% recomendada

This may be my first review written while I'm eating, but that's how impressed I am with the food at Sabor. Unassuming little place next to the Tooting Bec tube station, the plantain soup, empanada, and arepa I'm eating now is the best Colombian food I've had in London.

Lovely empanadas and very nice coffee but the almond cake with ice cream we were offered was the standout, absolutely lovely. A great addition to Tooting's diverse selection of cafes / restaurants, will be returning soon!

I read the reviews already on here, and so went with a high level of expectation, and I certainly wasnt disappointed. As people have commented, the decor is not what I would typically imagine for a Columbian restaurant, and yet, the unassuming decor for me added to its intrigue and the the overall expercience. The service was excellent, the owner came and spoke to us at length about the dishes, we were given service with a smile and a clear display of pride in what had been achieved, and they deserve to feel proud. The food was faultless; I have admittedly never had Columbian food before but everything was packed with flavour and was simply delicious, I ate until I was uncomrotably full, I couldnt bear to leave a mouthful.

Came here on a whim and it was a nice surprise. The food was delicious, authentic and reasonably priced. I recommend the 'Bandeja Paisa' in particular (traditional Columbia platter). The atmosphere was cozy and the staff friendly and welcoming.

Excellent ! Accueil fort sympathique et cuisine excellente... Parfait pour un repas en famille ou entre amis!

I'd seen this restaurant every day to and from work and finally managed to stop in for dinner and I'm glad we did. The husband and wife run busines is a small and very friendly establishment, it feels a bit like your sitting in their living room. The food - Latin American - is quite unique, especially for this area, was very tasty and had that 'home cooked' feeling. The portions were large and value excellent. Well worth a visit.

We have been planning to try this place for a while and I'm glad we did. A fantastic introduction to Colombian food. Everything was fresh, tasty and beautifully cooked and presented. The staff were lovely too. We ordered two mains and a selection of starters to share between 2 adults and a child. The the portions are huge! We couldn't eat it all but had a good try. All chased down with a traditional aguardiente. The restaurant itself is very modern and clean. Possibly a little 'cold' but that's just being picky. Highly recommended and will be going again as soon as we can.

Such a lovely Columbian couple that run Sabor who gave us a very warm welcome. The food was delicious and generous portions. Unfortunately the decor is a little stark and trying to be modern and would be better if it was more rustic. But a lovely little local place.

This is a lovely little place right next to the station. The staff are really friendly and the food was delicious. I had a plate of different things - pork, beans, rice, shredded beef, plantain. It was huge. My girlfriend had a shredded beef dish and an empanada. We absolutely loved it and will be going back!

Now that I've found Sabor, my food-life is complete. Having grown up eating Latin-American cuisine for big family occasions, this genre was the one thing missing in my London life. Outstanding flavour in every dish. Lovely plating. Simple ingredients to make gorgeous food. When you walk in, you'll be bowled over by the aroma. It's a small spot, but beautifully appointed with a real family feel. Empanadas the best I've had. The Platano Sabor was the surprise win of the meal, sweet plantains mashed into a long pancake, guacamole spread on top and delicious queso grilled on top. Cannot sing Sabor's praises enough. Made me feel like I was home.

I cannot believe it has taken me so long to write this review as I was so impressed with my evening spent at Sabor. We booked a table for 10 people for a birthday celebration and could not have had a better time. The restaurant is small and we nearly filled the whole place but it felt like being at home. It is clear that this is an authentic, family-run establishment and this is an atmosphere that is difficult to replicate. They dealt with all our special requests to leave a cake earlier in the day, chilling our champagne and even allowing us to leave our belongings there over night. The food did take a little while to arrive but it was worth the wait considering the quality and the value of it and that we were such a large party. The portions were huge and obviously freshly cooked. We all ate well that evening, even the vegetarians in the group who were initially put off by how meat-heavy the menu appeared at first glance. They were even kind enough to put some salsa on for us to have a little dance and shared some of their family stories with us. I could not have wished for a better evening. Thank you so much!!

First time here and very satisfied. Good service, good food. It takes a while to arrive on your table, but that means everything is made from scratch. I had a nice Pork Chuleta with some rice, yams and salad. Really tasty.

It's a small and quiet place but full of tasty Latin American dishes. Big portions, affordable prices, welcoming owners, nice atmosphere, you must visit it.

Best arepas in UK. "Mechada" meat and guasacaca....ummmmm. OMG!Small and friendly restaurant very close de Tootting Bec Station. Las mejores arepas de Reino Unido. La carne mechada y la guasacaca espectaculares. Es un restaurante pequeño y familiar muy cerca de la estación de Totiing Bec

Absolutely love coming here for my daily soup before heading home most days of the week. I will always be recommending this beautiful Colombian place to everyone that asks if I know of a Colombian place to eat in London. Always spot on. Clean environmentGood serviceGreat atmosphereAnd more importantly great food!!

I went to Sabor yesterday with my boyfriend and it was amazing! We both got Aguapanela, a Colombian sugar cane drink, so good that after 10 minutes I ordered another one straight away! I could taste it was homemade and this is so good, especially when you live in a big city like London! we shared a starter and it was huge! we were already full after it... then we had a delicious and well presented main... I got the Asado, so tasty, it came with chips, salad, coleslaw and plantain... my boyfriend got a pork main instead and he said it was delicious... it is a family restaurant, very cosy and warm and the staff is extremely friendly. Also very clean! when my boyfriend went to pay, he had a look at the kitchen counter and he said it was spotless! I would recommend it to anybody in the area and I will definitely be back! Thank you for such a great experience!

My whole family and friends visited this restaurant to celebrate my mum's birthday few months ago. The service and quality of the traditional Colombian dishes were prepared and presented well. I recently returned with my son and daughter, the restaurant still as good as before.The owners attention to details and frendliness are always at the top. One of the best "Empanadas" we have tried since I left my country more than 29 years ago. Try the "Bandeja Paisa" see pictures

Having never tried Columbian food before I was curious as to what it was going to be like. I was pleasantly surprised. We went for one of the platters and one of the corn breads stuffed with chicken and beef. Both were fabulous. The food was made to order and was good quality. The portions were generous and I left feeling nicely full. Try the milkshakes, they were great too.

The owners are always so welcoming, warm and friendly. I come here with my family on regular basis to eat delicious, fresh and well presented food.

Starters and mains were both great. Had the mixed starter, although slightly too salty, was plenty for 4 people. Churrasco was cooked delighfully :).Service brilliant too. Also I love a BYO restaurant!

I have been loving this place since they first opened and I keep coming back to remind myself of the unique authentic flavours that I left behind when I moved to the UK. Flavours that take you back to your mum's and grandma's cooking...Thank you Sabor for taking me back to that happy place. Highly recommended. Love their soups and jugos naturales!!!!.

My first experience with "Sabor" was unforgettable. We have celebrated my friend's birthday and we wanted to do it in a Colombian restaurant. We knew what to expect from Colombian dishes but this time, it was more than we expected. Not only good size portions, tasty food but the presentation of the plate means a lot. Plus the place itself looks very tidy, clean and cosy. The owners were there and we were chatting with the lady who served us. She made us feel very welcome and helped us with every question we had. The food was very good quality and everyone who likes Latin food or want to try something new should try the food from this restaurant.

We ate here a few times up until Christmas 2014 and loved everything and fully agreed with other reviewers here. Since then we had a take-away and ate in the restaurant twice as a family group. On the last two visits we noticed a few changes (for the worse). They used to serve wonderful chunky chips but now serve very ordinary chips that you find everywhere. They changed the beefburger buns from an unusual (and tasty) corn meal bun to a sweet sesame bun just like in a run of the mill burger joint. Recent steak experience also not so good and came with untrimmed fat which spoiled the experience. Meals come served on wooden platters but a couple of times we could taste the wood from the food (time to replace the platters?). We are sorry to give a negative review because it is such a different and pleasant family run place but food standards seem to have slipped? Has anyone else noticed this or were we just unlucky? On our most recent visit we were a bit put out by noisy neighbours and we wondered if this has something to do with the fact that wine is now served?

amazing food and service. This is the place where everyone has to try at least once. Higly recommended.

This is a real gem of a restaurant right next to Tooting Bec station. I would recommend the main that I had, which was a kind of mixed platter of traditional food which included fried plantain, beans, belly pork, sausage, cornbread and avocado! The staff were very welcoming and friendly and the bill was very reasonable.

This is a great restaurant, we had been training at Tooting Bec Lido when we popped in.I had a mixed meat platter and my partner had breaded chicken. The food was well seasoned and the portions are large, we weren't able to finish.Very laid back, highly recommend.

Had a very tasty lunch of corn bread, scrambled egg and chorizo in this unassuming looking South American cafe/ restaurant. Prompt cheerful service. I wish I lived closer so I could try out their main meals which sounded equally as interesting.

Had a huge and lovely breakfast at Sabor this weekend. Try some of the juices (I had passion fruit) as well. All topped off with lovely friendly service!

Visited Sabor ast the weekend, the food was absolutely delicious & we tried some Latin food we had never had before. The restaurant was very relaxed & spoitlessly clean. The staff were all very friendly & welcoming even when we took forever to order, will definitely be visiting again!

Had a great meal in this local restaurant. Spotlessly clean and great service. I had the Argentinian steak and it was outstanding. Cooked perfectly - ordered medium rare. The chips were real potatoes cooked just right. The salad and coleslaw fresh and appetising. Could not recommend highly enough. A real find and will definitely be returning.

My sister and I decided to go for a meal at Sabor as a Sunday treat. We were in for a treat alright; the staff were so friendly and the lady topped up my delicious Mango smoothie for free! The cassava was delicious for a starter. Then came the steak, and what a steak! My sister went for the Argentinean, which was just huge, and I went for the one topped with egg. Very delicious, cooked to our liking and the extras were so yummy. And it didn't cost a lot either. The restaurant itself is not big and not noisy and had Argentinean music to die for!I would strongly recommend this place and will go back again

A Tooting Bec resident for ten years, I cannot really be forgiven for having missed this little gem when it opened recently. But being small and tucked away by the tube station (very convenient and easily locatable, wherever in London one may be coming from), I had assumed that it was just a café. Not so; it is a friendly and quite characterful little restaurant, presided over by a wonderful woman who is a mine of information and advice about Colombian fare. I have worked extensively in Colombia over the years and can guarantee that this is Colombian fare at its best. Simple, delicious and very filling dishes (doggy bags are provided) with more flavour and style than anything Brazilian. BYOB makes a meal out even more bearable in cost terms. Even although we have just moved to Hampton, we shall return for meals here. Outdoors (to be frank, I can't remember if there was a table for smokers) is not an option,really. Sabor is right next to the Tooting Bec traffic lights.....

Definitely the best! They served authentic Colombian food and, as is said in Bristol, is gert lush! I totally recommended !

I had been recommended this place by a Colombian friend as we had both eaten before at another big Colombian restaurant in Elephant & Castle. I have to say that Sabor was very upmarket compared to other Latin restaurants and was very clean and welcoming. The food was amazing and I really recommend the Bandeja Paisa as it is the best I have had in London! The salsa music was great and the atmosphere was perfect. Great thing is that it is located next to Tooting Bec Tube Station.

Amazing food and excellent service. We were very impressed and it is an added bonus that you can bring your own! Plates of food were huge and delicious The lady who runs it is fantastic and gave us lots of advice on what to eat and also made us feel so welcome!! Would definitely recommend
