Tapinos in Ealing

Spanish restaurant, the food is good..

Lovely although not 100% authentic

Tapinos last night was, as always, excellent. (Only 4 stars for Atmosphere as it was a quiet night.) The food was of a high standard, matched by the service from Dimitris and his colleagues. Jonathan Oliver.

Dimitris was an excellent host. The service was quick and the food tasted amazing.

Very nice place, kind and helpful staff. I’ve been there many times with my family. Today we were with my sister and my nephew, Dimitris brought menu, told us about all the food and wine they have. And after the dinner he kindly gave my nephew chocolate and limoncello for me and my sister. We spent wonderful evening in Tapinos

Staff is very friendly. Thank you Dimitris

Tapinos is a warm & inviting space with a lot of tasty options, notably has a good range of vegetarian options. Dimitris served us and his attention to detail was excellent- he was also very friendly & personable. Their take on creme brûlée was a standout, silky smooth with great flavour and the perfect caramelised top! Highly recommend

Mr. Dimitris made us feel very welcome. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is good.

Absolutely wonderful establishment. We thoroughly enjoyed the food, especially the lamb chops. The price was excellent for London. Our server, Dimitris was a wonderfully kind host.

Great atmosphere and food. Service exemptional. Would definitely recommend

Wonderful restaurant! Fab food and great service from Carlos :)

Dimitris provided an excellent service this evening! Food was brilliant as per usual and I can only recommend 😊

Great atmosphere, great food, great service. Dimitris was very welcoming and most accommodating.

We had a lovely time. Dimitris and Adela were very welcoming and food was fantastic. Would definitely recommend.

Everything was perfect. We ordered Jamon Iverico,Paella, Pimientos del Padrón and they were all so good! Also, the service was very welcoming and comfortable. We really appreciate Dimitris and Adela for giving us a wonderful dinner time. Definitely recommended Spanish restaurant.

Dimitris served us attentively with delicious food and excellent service, would highly recommend and visit again.

Excellent! l can honestly say the food at Tapinos is far better and literally half the price of high end restaurants in London. Dimitri, our waiter made us feel so welcome and was very attentive. The squid ink paella was perfect as were all the dishes and the portions very generous. Thank you for a great evening. Will definitely return. 👍

The staff was very friendly especialy dimitri,the waiter!!!

Excellent meal. Under new management. Great asparagus salad, pane con tomate, hamburger, patatas bravas. Puddings were excellent too, moist choc cake, creme brûlée, churros. Rioja very good too. Nice atmosphere, very friendly.

Great tapas! The potatos with eggs and ham were particularly tasty. Also liked the rocket salad with goat’s and blue cheese. Service (Dimitris) is very friendly and helpfull. All and all a very pleasant experience.

Service is delightful and the food is always delicious. Although there is some changes in management, Dimitris welcomed us with the same familiar warmth that defines Tapinos.

Food was amazing, delicious and the portions were perfect. We had an amazing time and our waiter, Dimitris, was exceptional and made us feel very welcome

Just had another delicious meal at Tapinos. We highly recommend it. Service was excellent with Dimitris. I am vegetarian and there’s lots of choice. I really liked the manchego and spinach croquettes, garlic mushrooms, rocket manchego and beetroot salad and tortilla. The meat eaters loved the meetballs and pork loin too! Looking forward to my next visit!

Just had a delicious meal and would recommend. We had a very friendly waiter called Dimitris.

Excellent food, highly recommended!

Dimitris was friendly and we enjoyed his cheerfulness!

very yummy food it is not very crowded i would definitely come back again we got attended by Dimitris very kind and attentive with us

Great food and great service by Dimitris! Definitely recommend for some top tapas!

We came for a friend's birthday celebration on a Sunday, early evening, and our expectations were totally exceeded. Great food, plenty of atmosphere (it was surprisingly busy) and the most charming young waiter who couldn't do enough for us. Our table of 12 gave him a round of applause after the meal!

We went at 4pm and wasn’t too busy. They have a lot of veggie options, including the veggie paella, which was delicious. I ordered the paella meant for 2 but it definitely could be shared between 3.

Grilled cod does not taste fresh and even fries are stale

Gran lugar dirigido por la familia local. Lo que uno realmente extraña hoy. Una joya escondida con buena comida y servicio. Tal vez, precios un poco más altos de lo que uno esperaría.

A small but really great restaurant. Great food, super friendly service, moderate prices. Sangria legger ;0)

Really nice local gem for a cosy dinner. Great quality food and the paella was amazing! There is a great selection on the menu for everyone including some Tapinos twists to some tapas classics.

Just had Deliveroo and it was awesome, looking forward to visiting as I know we will be impressed even more Great food

Excellent food. Every dish was full of flavour

I am Spanish, and I have to say that the food is excellent and the service charming. With good price.

Very good service and delicious food. Wonderful tapas.

Amazing food and sangria was just as you have in Spain

Lovely fresh menu ,good selection of tapas. The calamari was lovely, Spanish omelette, platter of grilled meat, various salads. We were 5 and enjoyed a litre of sangria, fresh water supplied too, bread was fresh and warm. We had a lovely meal with an average of £20 a head excluding the drinks. Would definitely recommend

10/10 - can't recommend highly enough. Food is fantastic, staff excellent - all round a great meal out.

Loved every aspect of this snd I can't wait to go back

This is a nice rustic restaurant with good portion sizes. The octopus was a little overcooked & the squid ink croquettes I did not enjoy. Goats cheese was okay. The potato bravas were nice as were the prawns. The chocolate with the churros did not taste very nice, the churros themselves were lovely. Overall, I have been better to Spanish restaurants.

I have been living in London for 7 years and I have tried different Spanish restaurants around the city. I can say, and without hesitation, that it is the best Spanish restaurant I have tried and by far. The carnivals are a 10/10, the octopus is a show and the cod delicacies are delicious. 100% recommended!

Person who answers the phone hangs up clients . Very rude

I had a lovely time at Tapinos tonight. The food was delicious, my favourite the batas bravas and chorizo paella! Really warm and cozy atmosphere. We were served by the owner and he was so kind to us. It was my friend’s birthday and he let us blow out candles after our meal and played birthday music for us. I would recommend anyone to come here, you will find a warm and friendly environment with great food. ¡Muchas gracias!

First time here, had a lovely late lunch. I will pay them a return visit soon

Hi guys, fair review from me,, service good I spose, not worth the 12.5 service charge that most independent owners take (trust me,, cancel it and secretly hand the waiting staff the tip) 3 of us this evening, ordered 4 tapas, jug of sangria and a mixed paella for 3 people. Waiting staff are Spanish, kitchen staff looked Pakistani. Not a bother but everyone was so damn bland. Sangria didn't taste like it had any alcohol in it, calamari had some sort of cornflake batter on it,, totally tasteless, no seasoning at all. Goats cheese came up cold and was sposed to have handmade crisps but all that turnt up was a 1/4 handful of match stick potatoes. Sausage in red wine was cold as well. I asked the waiter for us to have a proper paella with a crispy bottom.. he said it's hard to do so it wouldn't happen. Bread comes with butter ffs 🤣 not even any oil or balsamic. Basically I had to rush home,, just made it in time for the toilet.. says it all really. £104 for rubbish food, eaten in the dark

Great deals every Friday to Sunday from 12-5pm tapas 2 for 1 when you order drinks. Ordered six tapas and two drinks with just over £20. Food are made to order and tasty.

All around just a lovely simple but warm spanish venue, food was rich in flavor, service outstanding and staff is very friendly!

Our favourite restaurant in Ealing. We’ve eaten here several times and have never been disappointed. Good range of tapas, including gluten free and vegetarian. Nice ambience and friendly service.

An authentic Spanish restaurant. The paella is served in generous portion and boasts a delightful texture, although it would be even more with a wider variety of seafood in the dish.

Lovely venue and very authentic

Great service, delicious tapas and to round it off, 2 for 1 before 17.00 on weekends. Highlights were manchego croquettes and grilled sardines.

Nice neighbourhood tapas restaurant, decent food at reasonable prices. Weekend lunchtimes they have a two for one tapas special which makes it a very good deal. Albondigas and patatas bravas were excellent. Service was fast and friendly, although were there at an off peak time

Great Tapas! We really enjoyed our food, especially sizzling prawns! Everything was tasty and the service was superb. I am sure we will be back soon.

Come here regularly with my wife, food is always amazing and we always over order and leave barely able to walk home! Highly recommend, thanks guys!

Really sweet and caring staff, the paella was really good but not the best I ever had. Still really really good, could have some more seafood in it.

Lovely authentic restaurant. Fabulous food & service. Compliments to the chef 14/10/23. Mum loved it

Delicious tapas! By far the best I've tried in London. I cannot say which one was my favourite, because they were all amazing. I recommend to try a few different ones.

We randomly stumbled across this restaurant today for lunch where they had a 2 for 1 deal on the weekend. The food was incredible and we have been raving about it since, so fresh and top notch! Amazing value! The seafood and meatballs were perfection. The sangria also hit the spot. The owner was serving today and was a delight. We will certainly be back with all of our friends asap and highly recommend.

Epic food. With the nicest staff. What a hidden gem this place is! We had the paella and it was delicious - they even boxed up some of the leftovers for us to else home! we will be back!

Adorable neighbourhood restaurant. Lovely interior. Wide and delicious selection of dishes and tasty wines all at a reasonable price.

Myself and bestie go here regularly! The food and service are always 10/10. Eduardo (owner) is so lovely and friendly.

Having read the reviews, we were exited to find this restaurant on our recent trip to the area for a music festival as this type of food is one of our favorites however, we were very disappointed. The first dish that came was Patatas Bravas which we have had many times before and in fact cooked ourselves. The dish can only be described as a plate of chucky chips cut into cubes topped with a huge squirt of tomato ketchup and a dollop of garlic mayo. The second dish were the Gambas Prawns (pil pil) These were served in boiling oil and once they were cool enough to eat they were like lumps of rubber. The meatballs were very ordinary. The Dates wrapped in Bacon were very nice and the slow cooked pork cheeks were acceptable but not very flavoursome. We only had one beer each and the bill came to £58. Not a lot to pay these days but expected much better quality food. Perhaps this was an off night

Food was good Nice environment Friendly staff Recommend to everyone

Nice Spanish restaurant. Great value on Friday lunch, by one get one free.

Amazing food and great service can't believe we haven't been here before, will be back!

Lovely Spanish restaurant, amazing service, amazing food, great atmosphere, highly recommended!

Lovely, cosy, and friendly Spanish restaurant. The paella we ordered was tasty and pretty reasonable.

Very quick serving, and the food quality is very high. Recommend!

Empiezo por lo bueno de Tapinos que es la atención de la camarera, muy atenta y agradable. Para cenar hemos perdido de primero pan con tomate, pasable aunque se sentía un fuerte sabor a ajo. La tortilla de patatas estaba seca y super cuajada además de sosa, me recordó tremendamente a las que se compran ya hechas en el supermercado. También pedimos patatas al cabrales, la salsa estaba muy líquida y las patatas a medio hacer pequeñas y algunas estaban muy oscuras como su fueran de la tanda anterior. Las croquetas de calamar estaban bien, buena textura y sabor. Cómo plato principal pedimos arroz negro de sepia y que decir, un desastre total, más que sepia era pota de calamar congelado, correoso y sin sabor, el arroz pasado. Llevaba trozos de pimiento verde enormes, guisantes verdes trozos de cebolla grandes también y camaroncitos de estos de bote añadidos al final a modo decoración. En resumen, no pondría la mano en el fuego que en esa cocina hubiera alguien que ha comido en arroz en España. Si buscas comida auténtica este no es el lugar. La reseña es de dos estrellas que se las lleva la atención y el lugar en si. Espero que sirva de ayuda y mejoren. Un saludo

Buen bar Español en Londres , la comida está muy buena lo que creo que los platos son un poco escasos . Muy recomendable.

As uSual an excellent, reasonably priced Spanish restaurant.Very friendly.

Visited for the 1st time after the Brentford game. Will definitely be visiting after each game in the future. Excellent tapas

Fantastic authentic spanish food!!!!!! Highy recommended 👌 service was of high standard. Definitely will be back for more!

My husband and I tried tapas . We liked the beef meat balls and aubergine Battered squid was average , and so was battered cod. We found the cod very bland , not sure if that’s how it’s supposed to be. It came with a dip. Garlic bread with cheese was amazing and i enjoyed the sangria as well , very tasty! We thought it was reasonably priced. I would definitely visit again to try more tapas and paella especially. Customer service was great.

Absolutely amazingly food and lovely staff!

Lovely authentic Spanish food and atmosphere

Always love it here. We only visit tapinos a couple of times a year but every time its top notch. Thank you 🙏

Delicious food and very friendly service! Went for lunch and the tapas did not disappoint.

Excellent local tapas joint, delicious.

Friendly, accommodating, very good food, efficient service. An all round excellent experience with authentic Spanish food.

Great food and portions really big

Little Tapas gem in South Ealing. Family run restaurant,genuine tasty food. Father and Wife enjoyed it immensely. We will be going back!

Nipped in here for dinner last night and it was a little surprise gem! Really nice atmosphere, friendly staff and the menu looked great. We ended up getting the meat platter to share - chicken, pork, sausage and the most delicious little lamb chops. Patatas Bravas that were both crispy and smothered in alioli and the traditional red sauce. And a mixed salad. Food was great and really fresh tasting. We will be back! (There was a lot of things on that menu I intend to try. Lucky it just up the road!)

This place never fails , food, drink, atmosphere always on the highest level, one of my top 3 places to eat with friends and family , love it

Delicious food at reasonable prices, and very friendly service! Went for dinner and the tapas did not disappoint :) I was very impressed by the atmosphere of this restaurant and the presentation of the dishes!

Very glad I found this local place. It’s authentic and has very good variety. We enjoyed everything but the best was the chorizo in wine sauce and the gambas. The basket of bread was also super taste. Would definitely come again.

Very nice and cozy place with an outstanding customer service!

First time here and enjoyed the food very much. Will definitely come again!

Enjoyed a wonderful birthday meal, accompanied by delicious Rôsé !… A delicious menu, friendly staff and delightful atmosphere…

Enjoyed the food here, wanted to try Paella 🥘 it took about 30mins to prepare and it was delicious 😋 came here especially to try their paella from someone's recommendation. I love the presentation of the restaurant, friendly staff, good atmosphere to enjoy Spanish food.

Walked past this restaurant 100 times - but never noticed it until yesterday. What I have been missing! Had an excellent lunch there with a family member. Waiter was knowledgeable and helpful with the menu for two people not knowing a lot about Spanish food. The cold plate of Spanish hams I had as a starter was simply glorious and really enough for two. But I was hungry! The Spanish staff were friendly and welcoming. We each had two main plates and a desert, and a glass of the (better) house wine. Bill came to a tad over £50 for the two of us. Definitely recommended. Will be back next time I am in London.

After craving some Spanish food, especially Gambas al ajillo, I was so excited to find somewhere close enough to deliver to me. Although sadly, I was really disappointed with the food. The gambas were way over cooked, the oil didn’t have enough taste of garlic for a garlic dish and the chilli overpowered it. Overall, all the food was bland and not really worth the money.

Very good local Catalan Tapas restaurant

Friendly service, great croquetes, spotlessly clean place. Recommended.

Authentic Spanish food!! The lamb chops were my favourite, and the rest of the food was very good as well… Great wine as well 😍♥️

Just had a perfect afternoon tapas at this lovely restaurant. Quality food and plenty of it served up in Spanish decor surroundings and music. Would highly recommend this restaurant and can guarantee you will not be disappointed
