Tapa Tapa in Newham

We visited Tapa Tapa after an event at ExCel on Sunday evening. The food came out lukewarm, was very bland and the "Crispy" wings were a soggy disappointment. The waitress knocked one of our forks on the floor and forgot to bring us a replacement. Reminded me of La Tasca from back in the day... definitely not worth the £90 we spent on a the 30 minute dining experience.

A great spot for a lunch if you attend one of the events at Excel. Loved the atmosphere with plenty of natural light if you get a sit by the window. The service was great too.

Saw manager wearing a blazer shout at staff and I don’t rate any place that treats staff in that way in front of customers !!! Prob worse behind closed doors and off putting

A great place to experience the taste of Spanish tapas. The patatas bravas reminded me of a great holiday in Spain I recently had

Popped here for lunch on exiting the excel centre and just before the rush. Amazing food, generous portion sizes, friendly staff, real value for money and will definitely return

Authentic Spanish food. Excellent atmosphere Superb service. Piece of Spain in London

Stopped by for a couple of beers and some croquettes after an exhibit at excel. Lovely staff and food. Only draught is cruzcampo, which is a standard lager.

Most amazing restaurant with delicious food that you simply have to try. The staf and service is absolutely wonderful. The music is perfect and the setting and ambiance is really good. BIG thanks to Greta for being the perfect hostess

As you can see you a picture, all gone! Food is just incredible. Recommend taking 3-5 tapas for 2 people. More than enough. Iberico Croquettes must try

A colleague and I spent he afternoon here and received world-class service from their server Ashik J. Super attentive with excellent menu knowledge and perfect recommendations, all provided with a calm and welcoming smile. He made our day and I will be recommending this place to all our colleagues and friends.

On a Monday in October 13 of us enjoyed a very civilised quiet lunch reuniting with friends from the 70’s and 80’s. Fixed menu for the group was very generous and good quality tapa with excellent wine list. Total cost £75 per head all in.

Pablo V was so lovely to our family, so accommodating and making our birthday treat 10x better. Food was great, drinks were great and the atmosphere was 10/10. Thank you!

Good food and amazing personal service from Pablo V, would definitely visit again.

A very good moment shared. Accustomed to Spain in summer, we rediscovered the flavors. A good sharing of tapas Fairly high price but like everywhere in London. £150 for 4.

Extremely friendly, welcoming and cilled atmosphere. Staff exceptionally polite and attentive. A varied range of dishes and those we tried were really tasty. Good value too! Would definitely come back if visiting this part London again.

Lovely restaurant close to the excel. Had a lovely meal after a trip to F1 exhibition. Great food and excellent service from the team, especially Ashik who was lovely. Will definitely come back.

£2.00 for tap water £2.60 for service charge. For only two drinks & nearly £7 for a pint absolutely rip off avoided at all cost.

Great Tapas. Dishes were a mix of classics and some with a difference. Some of the best croquettes I’ve ever had. Fantastic service and delicious white Rioja

Stopped in for a quick lunch and had a lovely meal. The staff were all incredibly pleasant and the menu, aside from wanting all of it was excellent. The portion sizes are indeed small but that’s the nature of tapas I guess - they were however of excellent quality and taste. I’d definitely come back and recommend the White Rioja!

Ordered a few tapas to share. Totally spent 40ish for 4 tapas (shared by two people). All are so freshly made and it’s not too expensive. But when there are exhibitions, it could get busy and we saw a lot of exhibitors coming here for lunch. I suggest making reservations first before coming here.

The service was amazing! We were taken take of by a couple of their employees Eyen y Brandon at the bar and their service was outstanding. We would recommend 100% coming in for some tapas and a couple of their drinks.

The portions are very small, tastes good but very small, though it’s meant to be

Whichever waitress helped me figure out there were 4 restrooms instead of 2, I want you to know you're the best(and beautiful!). This place hella cool nevertheless! If this ever gets to her ADD MY IG @4zhar.7 !!

A very attention pleasant. Thanks to Reyes who was very attentive, because we don't know the language. The tapas were very delicious.

They need to add more dishes to cater for vegetarians. Quite disappointed with my first and last ever visit to this place. The only viable option was to order just green leave salad. To make matters worse, they charged £6 for two bottles of tap water and top it up with a 12% service charge. Only positive of this visit was the selection of their desserts. Customer services is great too but please for the love of whoever, add more options for vegetarians.

Was at a great location a bit pricey for what you get the small plates that taste good were very good and the rest were ok and a bit cold.The customer service is excellent but service could be a bit faster. It's a nice chill environment. 8 would definitely revisit.😁

Very good impression from the first moment! Delicious tapas food and nice atmosphere! Service was fast and smily (Jose and the receptionist) ! We ate pastas braves, croqettas del polo , bruschetta with mushrooms and cream Catalans!! Recommend absolutely!! ☺️☺️

Great food , good portions and OUTSTANDING service. We had the pleasure of interacting with Giusy, the floor manager, and she took extra good care of us. I HIGHLY recommend this place and thank you so much Giusy for making our evening even more pleasant 👏🏻

Food was a big dissapointment, maybe had high expectations but the food didn’t sit well with all of us.

Giusi welcomed us very warmly at the door and the food arrived swiftly. Great quality. Shannon served us and was kind and helpful. A good experience. Only negative would be the pan catalan, which is not the right bread (I lived there for 14 years)

Just a drop in for a quick bite off the ExCel exibhition. Was an awful experience with the food, same sauce in almost every dish and the wings were beyond eatable . Being a restaurateur ourself I wouldn’t criticise normally but this was one beyond a level that needs a re-think. Been to many tapas places in Uk as well as in Spain .. This place definitely being the worst.

We order 5 tapas. Patatas bravas, chicken wings, chicken croquettes, salad and meatballs. Also two bottles of coke. The waiter is completely disinterested and cold. Confused face. No smile. Earlier we got tapas for two bottles of cola. Well, it's quite difficult to open the bottles, it takes a long time. We also got 2 x potatas bravas on the table. I said that we only order one. We never got chicken wings. The waiter is rude, pointing at customers instead of seating them. You can see the salad in the photo. Spinach, onion and some apple.

We have come from Madrid. And everything is very delicious. The fantastic staff!!

Marvelous! Everything is great! Reyes' attention has been ten ❤️

we both had a fabulous time and the food was amazing and the service was first class cant wait to come back 🥰😁

Very cool restaurant, friendly staff, recommended

Food was amazing and everything came quickly, cannot express enough how much I enjoyed coming here will definitely be back!

OUTSTANDING Where do we start, Pablo and his team were remarkable,attentive,helpful and great FOH..Food was delicious we could have eaten more, but was so satisfied with what we had before us...If I were still in Hospitality I would have snapped him up....well done to all ....Great day,great food .can't wait to return Well done.. Name and address supplied on request,....... (cheers Glass's great....)

Excellent service. Some dishes are delicious, like the octopus/pulpo, but others are pretty average - Spanish toast with tomatoes/garlic topping - needs more flavour and some olive oil. Same with the mini steak, some more seasoning and a little butter more potato so you have the right balance. Ceviche was also delicious.

Tricky to actually find but absolutely worth it! Tapa Tapa is on the top floor. There is no signage outside and in the ground floor. The service from all the staff was absolutely superb. Fun, lots of banter and engagement and professional. The food was served hot and quickly, perfectly cooked and everything was very tasty. Great quality and reasonably priced. We had 8 tapas between 3 of us which was perfect. The 6 desserts for £12 to finish was amazing and again great value.

Service was attentive however the food didn’t live up to it. Main gripe was the scallops… a relatively expensive dish that basically could have been anything… prawn, chicken or even veggie. Not one to complain when asked we said it was generally ok ( tortilla was overly microwaved) but said the scallops weren’t great. Fair enough we were offered a dessert but declined as too full. Bill came and no recognition of the issue. Wine was mediocre at £36 for a bottle of Rioja. When patatas bravas was the best dish then that’s pointing towards something. Poor scallops at £13 & 12.5% tip 🙄

Callum gave us the best service on Tues. The recommendations, chat and overall service was spot on. Callum is definitely a credit to your company.

Very great tapas bar. There were four of us and we had different selections. Selection is good. Portions are sufficiently large. Great service. Highly recommended given the hotels and the trade fair nearby.

Had a wonderful day out in London, popped in to Tapa Tapa without o booking, although busy they managed to fit 2 of us in. Great service, everyone was in great form. Couple of tapas plus a few drinks for a quick lunch. Staff were truly amazing!

Food was delicious and our waitress was very friendly and helpful. Wish I ask her name… Long brown hair and nice blue eyes! Definitely recommend this restaurant!

Large restaurant and bar with a pleasant atmosphere and polite staff. As expected in a tapas style restaurant, the plates are small to be order in volume. Although they offered a menu option, we picked the ones we found the best and accompanied them with wine. The dishes had a great presentation and were delicious. The only issue was that my glass of red wine was full at debris at the bottom, probably due to a less than ideal bottle opening that required decanting and did not undergo such a thing.

I've been ordering from Tapa Tapa for several months (I haven't yet had an opportunity to dine in) and I have to say-it is one of the best Tapas restaurants in London. The Gambas and Octopus are delicious, as are the Padron peppers, tortilla and patatas bravas. The food is really excellent, the delivery is always fast and they always show appreciation for my loyalty by sending complimentary olives:). I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough if you love Tapas.

We recently had an event there, the atmosphere and food was lovely! Thanks to Giosy, Ashik, and Anjana for the wonderful service

Certainly! Here's a more polished version of your message: Juicy, Callum, and Maria—absolutely superb service! The food was exceptional, five stars out of five. As the Arctic Monkeys might say, 'four stars out of five,' but I'm giving it a full five. Number one, no doubt! Big shout to Giush, Callum and Maria!

Great evening at Tapa Tapa! Giusy, Callum, and Maria all gave top notch service. Will definitely be back soon!

Such a great experience! Food and service both 10/10. The best part was the staff who made my experience truly special, suffering from lots of allergies they took the stress away by advising what I could and couldn’t eat! Big shout out to the BOH and FOH team but namely greta, giusy, Callum and Aarushi! Thank you and see you again!

Lovely venue, Greta looked after us so well especially helping us out with allergies!

Having a really lovely meal at Tapa Tapa after a long day at excel. Thanks to aarushi, callum and giusy !

Fab food and Giusy, Callum and Arusha have been fabulous, Thankyou !

The food is excellent. It can be a bit loud. Overall this is an excellent experience.

Food was okay, quite pricey for what it was. The deserts were the best bit! Also note there is no kids menu. Lots of seating and the staff were super helpful and friendly. All in all we had a good time here

Reyes G was incredible and served us incredibly! Food was amazing. Thank you for hosting us.

Gluten Free options are sensational! Thank you to our awesome host Reyes G. For taking great care of us.

Reyes took very good care of us. She made excellent recommendations, good jokes and made sure we were comfortable during our awesome meal.

Callum and Reyes were amazing today, their service made a lovely experience

10/10 food and brilliant service by Reyes!!

Reyes is an absolute delight! Made our experience 10x better! Great food, great hospitality, great people!

Delightful oasis in the midst of the Docklands area. Why fly to Madrid when you can be here 😹 everyone is so friendly but Pablo Reyes Callum and Jose served us and all 5*

Thank you Callum for excellent customer service and a delicious lunch. Much appreciated!

We had great service from Callum, a credit to your restaurant. Very good food and service in a great location. We had the £39 set Tapas

5 friends / work colleagues out for dinner. Hu hey when we arrived and Callum recommended us to go for a kind of all you can eat menu (not quite). Was a great suggestion from Callum. Reyes checked in on us all through the evening to ensure we were happy. Would recommend the food, the service and the ambience (we sat in the wine bar area). Mike

Fantastic food and amazing service. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back for more when I’m in excel

The food was amazing but the key thing was Reyes. She greeted us, suggested the best wine and food. Taught us everything about tapas! An absolute star!

Really close to Excel, food was excellent and the service fantastic and the atmosphere relaxed. If you’re struggling to choose a dessert, definitely go for all six. We were served by Reyes who was very friendly and helpful, thanks to you and the team.

We had a very lovely meal with family and friends, the staff were very helpful and food delicious.

We had a really lovely evening. The selection and standard of food was superb and the service was excellent. The staff were really friendly and welcoming. We'll be back again for sure

As usual when you go in London to an Spanish restaurant, disappointed. In that case I did through deliveroo, I ordered patatas bravas (they came with no sauce) then I could say that I ordered roast potatoes… mushrooms toast was so so, nothing special, little mushrooms that you buy in a can for the supermarket but the bread was completely damp (I would never order this), the croquetas not bad but as well nothing special, one of the containers came with 3 of the 4 croquetas completely destroyed, there were mashy. The padrón peppers I recommended but it’s a very small portion. Positive point, they give us with the order some olives for free and very nice ones, a pity that this was the best! Of course I contacted deliveroo and they said that I can not claim anything. I would talk about my experience on the restaurant but unfortunately I haven’t been there.

Very happy customers. Excellent service. Friendly, warm, helpful staff especially impressed with Giusy and Micheal who waited at our table. Relaxing and unhurried atmosphere in a stylish setting. Delicious food, plenty of vegetarian choices. Compliments to the chef. Highly recommend it! 😀

We were sat and served almost immediately, food came out quickly and hot, and it was very tasty. The staff were polite and helpful. The atmosphere was lovely. Would happily go again.

Jessie was very helpful, efficient and friendly. The food was very good, especially the huevos rotos con chistorra. Definitely recommend this restaurant.

Ate here Monday evening and again Tuesday lunch we loved it so much. Food was amazing and the staff were so lovely. We will definitely visit again when we go to London. Trish and Emma.

Good food well prepared. A little expensive, probably the most expensive meal we’ve had. All those tapas add up really quickly. The service was very good, friendly waiter (Ashoka J.).

If you're looking for a place to enjoy authentic Spanish tapas, then Tapa Tapa is the right place! It is, without a doubt, the best restaurant in the area. The interior is incredibly spacious, offering a warm and inviting ambience that perfectly complements the dining experience. The menu features a classic variety of Spanish tapas, each dish bursting with flavour. I highly recommend trying the Croquetas de Jamón, which are crispy on the outside and filled with delicious ham; the Pimientos de Padrón, a perfect blend of smoky and mild peppers; the Brocheta de Pollo, a tender and well-seasoned chicken skewer; and the Patatas Bravas, which come with a spicy kick that's absolutely irresistible. The staff is another highlight of the restaurant—they are very friendly and more than happy to help you choose the right dishes to suit your taste. With such a fantastic experience, I can't wait to visit again soon!

Karla, very friendly and always smiling. Great customer service!

Lovely place, beautiful food, Karla had very good service!

Very good tapas, very good beers (also on tap) and wines, very nice service and a nice ambience. Were there three times. Absolute recommendation. Best regards from Düsseldorf Very good tapas, very good beers (also on tap) and wines, very nice service and a lovely ambience. We've been there three times. An absolute recommendation. Best regards from Düsseldorf

5* excellent food and drinks and service. I will visit again

Set menu is amazing. Very tasty. Quick and lovely service.

Great service, amazing food. Thank you!

We were at Excel and had not many choices so decieded to try. Food portions were small, was small portions, meatballs lacked flavour, pudding was £10 for 3 tiny pots! Service was slow and toilets dirty! Wound not visit again! There much better spanish reataurants in Greenwich!

Food was very tasty and quick - Service was exceptional - thank you !

We had a great meal, quick service and the food was amazing, The location is great, just by the Excel centre and the passport office, great for a stop off on the way to the O2!

Yummy food , friendly staff warm atmosphere.

We loved everything the food was fabulous and Michael our waiter was really good Well done to everyone we can't wait to come back

We had an absolutely perfect night! The food was so flavourfull and delicious, the staff was really nice, funny and courteous and the ambiente was lovely. Would definitly recommend, we are going back on Saturday! Thanks to the kitchen and the whole restaurant. ❤️😊

Fairly decent Spanish food (coming from a Spaniard). Don’t order the tortilla however, everything else is good.

It’s worth trying to find this place. Simple when you do: walk up to the main entrance of the ExCel and it’s in your left inside the building. Wonderful welcome from the staff. Delicious food in a comfortable environment. Marvellous tapa dishes.

Walked in cold and starving, left satisfied, warm and upset I couldn't fit more food in me, the menu is perfect! Varied enough to interesting without confusing. The quality of our food without fault delivered hot and perfectly seasoned and our waiter Callum was a pleasure, engaged with my two young boys and had them trying food I didn't think possible, a true credit to the establishment.

Delicious food, good service, it was busy and loud

What an amazing place the food and experience we both enjoyed Anjana P are waiter added to an already 5 star restaurant, can recommend more highly

Stuzzichini serviti insieme all'aperitivo, a un bicchiere di vino o a una birra; possono essere dei tipi più svariati: frutti di mare, cubetti di formaggio, frittata di patate, pezzetti di salsiccia piccante, olive, ecc... tantissima scelta tra cose molto sfiziose. È consigliato sia per uno spuntino che per una cena vera e propria.. molto buono!! Traduzioni e altre definizioni

The tapas were great!! The atmosphere was cozy and the staff was very accommodating! Gladly again!

This restaurant is wonderful and I will return countless times, the service was incredible, starting with the manager Giusy and the waiters, we ate ham croquettes and tomato beer, I recommend it 1000% Thanks
