Quería un almuerzo ligero con flexibilidad alimentaria para tres personas con alergias Estábamos bien atendidos. La comida y el personal estaban muy por encima de la media Lástima que no vivamos más cerca para poder usar más a menudo Recomiendo totalmente este restaurante de tapas en la encantadora ciudad de Darlington Rt Revd Geoffrey S Robinson

We like to come to this bar with my friend. Sometimes a bit too much service or we've been asked to move to other table, because a table was booked but then after 5 mins we've been told we're ok to stay.. probably because they've noticed our unhappy faces. Sometimes we're being asked if we are ok for drinks by every single waitress and in total that's happen every 2 mins... but anyway, we're still going there because we just like that place!

Fantastic place to eat and drink in Darlington - have been on many occasions and it never disappoints. Latest visit was for a catch up with friends - we sat outside - lovely sectioned off area - with trees - being able to watch the hustle and bustle of the town passing by whilst chilling. The pint of San Miguel was very good in fact that good I had another just to double check the quality. Friends had soft drinks & coffee which were all spot on. Our food we all opted for Gyros Style Wraps that came with salad and chips - all perfect - I had the Chicken & Manchego wrap amazing. This was a bonus as I normally have the tapas here which is also top quality. Staff were very friendly and quick to serve and replenish drinks etc.

Visitamos el bar de tapas para el almuerzo. Pedimos 8 Hummus - Bonito con pan caliente. 18 Halloumi - Cocinado bien pero demasiado orégano. 38 Stifado - Bonito, pero podría hacer con más condimento. 40 Choirino Koilia - No es de nuestro gusto en absoluto. Patatas de montaña Adonis - Sabor a aceite. Piel de patata - Absolutamente delicioso Bakerman Bread Basket - el pan era un poco duro (tal vez el tipo de pan) pero el aceite y el vinagre venían en botellas de vertido, sería mejor si venían con tazones de inmersión. Jalapeños - Nice El servicio era bueno. Recomendaría proporcionar cucharas para las porciones para que no tenga que usar sus tenedores después de haber comido con ellos.

we only had one night in Darlington as it was a stop of on our holiday and so we could only book one meal but we sure did book a great place. The menu is very diverse with plenty of choice for all tastes, the food was extremely tasty and bursting with flavour and of high quality the prices were average but we got excellent food and excellent service the waiting staff were incredibly helpful and helped us a lot as one of our party had an unusual allergy, its obvious that the staff here really care about their customers and will go above and beyond to make the diners have a pleasant experience, the only downside is the room at the back of the restaurant is very echoey and it only took a couple of loud diners on nearby tables to make the background sound very piecing, I would definitely recommend some sound diffuser blocks on the wall in this room, apart from this everything was pretty much perfect.

Cracking place , outdoor seating area was a buzzing hive of activity , service was quick for both drinks n food , lager was nice n crisp and sangria was lovely tasting with plenty fruit included . Food for super aswell including a very tasty salad bowl , meat dishes were cooked as they should be , presented well and tasted great . Staff were friendly talkative and made sure you wanted for nothing and helpful with questions etc . Music that day was great but apparently was a one off wkend paid for by local council funding , both premises benefitted from it as both outdoor areas were busy, landlords should look at bringing entertainment in more often i think . Defo be returning

We booked a table for 8 and it was Monday night. The food is fairly good and fresh but the service is unacceptable. No manager shows and according to them, only one waiter is taking care of the whole room. Several staffs work on the bar area but don’t bother to come around and help. No one comes to clean the table before the dessert serve and waited for ages to get the bill.

We had a great meal here, some of the best tapas outside of Spain. However, we sat in a little back room, and the bar area was very rowdy. It kind of ruined the cosy atmosphere we were expecting. Having said that, the food was delicious, wine great, and the service of staff was very attentive. We would definitely come back, just maybe not on a Saturday evening

We have been eating at tapas bar for years when previous owner was alive . Yesterday we decided to call for lunch and now apparently you have to book a table. We were seated in a corner of another room and we both ordered moussaka. What arrived was mashed potato with mince mixed through . No sauce of any kind but chef added 2 sliced of courgette and tiny piece aubergine. Melted cheese on top. In all of my 61 years I have never been served moussaka like this . It was disgusting. If chef did nt have moussaka prepped I wish they just said so and I would have chosen something else. When somewhere only sells Spanish and Greek dishes how the hell can’t they make a decent moussaka. Very disappointing and we won’t be returning for a long while

Oh dear! First a wait to be seated even though we were literally one of only 2 couples. Then something we wanted, not on the menu (never mind). Service was pretty dreadful. Food felt and tasted like it was microwaved from days before. One dish was raw, but nobody came to check on anything... so when we called them to clear we said it was raw and that we weren't paying for it. This was met with an "OK, sorry about that" which made us think it happens a bit. Then 2 espressos one of which was cold on arrival, but by that time all I wanted to do was get out... last minute we got what seemed like a genuine apology. You get 2 stars because you didn't argue about the raw item, you showed me to the disabled toilets without being asked and the potatoes with garlic mayo were really really nice.

Id like to start by saying, the staff were incredible and very friendly and the bar itself was beautiful. It may be because i live in Spain and was over for work, but the food was not spanish tapas. I had the gambas pil pil and potatas bravas and it was not what pil pil and bravas is supposed to be. My advice would be to visit a spanish restaurant or have a chef that knows the spanish ingredients to know how to make it. Sorry

Food was tasty, service was friendly but a little patchy (the server who brought out our dishes called a number of them by the wrong names, and one of the dishes may have been entirely wrong since we ordered pork, they said it was beef, we asked for clarification and they didn't know, and we couldn't tell the difference), setting was dimly lit and extremely loud on a Saturday afternoon due to multiple big groups seated nearby - it would help if there were more curtains/soft furnishings etc to dampen the noise. Not a good spot for a quiet/intimate meal.

Fabulous food. Definitely some of the best tapas I've ever eaten. Loved that there were so many Greek tapas options - and how good they were! The atmosphere inside was really charming. I particularly enjoyed the little paragraph of history on the back of the menu. Service could have been better - ordering by marking your choices on a piece of paper is certainly more efficient, and I did enjoy that aspect, but is also pretty impersonal. More importantly, we did have to wait a long time on a relatively quiet night with our coats on indoors for our dishes to be cleared. Menus were pretty sticky. The waitresses were pleasant enough though, and it didn't really impact too much on the night 🙂 Overall, I'd definitely recommend and would love to go back.

As we were a large party we were seated upstairs, it was very noisy, hot and stuffy. Couldn’t hear people we were talking to. Staff quite pushy to get our drinks order even though we were waiting on a couple of people, yet when it came to the food order we ended up taking it down to them due to the length of time we waited for a server to come back upstairs. Food was fantastic when it arrived, well cooked and delicious. I would go again but I’m a smaller party so can sit elsewhere or outside.

We’d had a weekend of rubbish vegan food, but this place made our weekend away! They have a separate vegan menu, but much of the options from the main menu can be made vegan which is a lovely touch. We had the bread basket (great bread!). We had the vegan Halloumi and chorizo wrap (wasn’t quite to our taste but the portion was huge!) But the tapas was incredible. I got the vegan borokakia (feta rolled in aubergine) - I’ve ate this in Greece many times prior to being vegan and this was so authentic it was beautiful. We also had the vegan patatas aioli which was lovely - and the hummus which was so creamy and delicious. Honestly it’s the best vegan food I’ve had at a restaurant in a long time and I’m trying to think of an excuse to travel back down to Darlington soon just to visit! Will definitely be back to sample more of the vegan menu. Vibes were great - staff were friendly and attentive. Food was incredible.

Highly recommend. Lovely, warm welcome. You are handed an order sheet to mark which tapas/meze you would like. Ideal, as it saved us trying to remember it all. We ordered about nine dishes, and we did pretty well. But i would suggest about 3 dishes each would work out right. I recommend the feta wrapped in aubergine and the dates wrapped in bacon and cheese (& i am not a fan of dates). We had a lovely, friendly waitress. Didn't catch her name, but please give her some baklava.

Food was beautiful. We had the Lamb gyro plate and the lamb and chips were delicious. Couldn't fault the food. I've given a 3 for the service as one waitress asked if we were ready, we asked for a minute and she never came back. When i went to the bar to ask to order the other waitress said I had to be served by the male waiter, who was busy and she just stood there next to him, waiting for me to ask him. It wasn't very professional and felt like it was all on the one person. She thrn gave me drinks that she didn't know which was which and that ended up us both having to taste them to find out.

Staff explained the process for ordering tapas and also said they’re known for their gyros. Went with a chicken and chorizo gyro and it was great. Lovely food and big portion. The chips on the side were different class. Maybe the best I’ve ever had! Recommended.

Probably the worst meal I have had in Darlington. Chicken was dry, overcooked, tasted like blotting paper. The only positives from the meal was the sauce and salad, they probably precooked the chicken and reheated the breast. The only reason it got 2 stars was due to the excellent service. Will not be going again!
