La Siesta

Really disappointing. I was expecting fresh ingredients, and all I got was micro way defrost paella.

How disappointing! The paella seemed like one of those frozen ones you can buy from any supermarket. This typically bland and boring industrial taste... The tuna empanadillas were not bad but kind of cold inside... The boquerones fritos seemed like they had been deep-fried for one time too many. The Aioli was probably industrial and not home-made...

What more can I say? The waiter was very pleasant although the waitress (seemed like the head waitress) recommended the olives as being almost as good as in Spain (what did she mean by that...?)

On the whole, a very bad experience and really can't wait to be back in Spain to eat really good Spanish food....!

I eat here quite regularly having discovered it in the summer. I had a fantastic meal with my family on Friday night - the chickpea soup was one of the loveliest things I've ever eaten. The paella is highly recommended too.

The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed.

Highly recommended Tapas restaurant in just off Ealing Broadway. Reasonably priced dishes at around a fiver each; my two girlfriends and I dined like princesses at this cute little restaurant. Great variety on the menu, the food was well cooked and presented - some dishes really had the wow-factor.

Only small criticism is the sardines - not the ones on the menu but the game we all played trying to fit into such a small space. Breathe in! (not so easy after the delicious food).

Delicious food, friendly service and very reasonably priced. Perfect for an evening meal with your Spanish class.

Great little tapas bar just off Ealing Broadway. You have to book to be sure of getting a table on Thursdays and Fridays.

Food is very good and great value - quite simple, standard tapas but at the same time you wouldn't be ashamed of taking your foodiest of friends there. The berenjenas gratinadas are particularly wonderful.

It can get very crowded and the service can become slow as a result, but it's all part of the experience in this excellent neighbourhood tapas bar.
