Cigala

As ever a delight. Better Tapas than many I have met in Spain. Always a bustle and warm welcome. I look forward to my next visit. Dependable.

Enjoyed our first visit there on Friday afternoon. The wine which they recommend was never tried but nice fitting foods. For that occasion, we didn't have main dishes preferring more tapas which was fantastic and difficult to leave. Will visit there shortly (actually today!)

Cigala is always lovely--the food is sophisticated, not your basic Spanish fare, but rather carefully balanced flavours and nice little twists. The service is friendly, they know their wines (and the selection is nice and well priced) and the spot is one if my favourites: a charming, quiet corner on lamb's conduit and a huge wrap-around window that allows the light in and your gaze out on to the street. And if the weather is nice, there are tables outside! It's a perfect little spot, with wonderful food.

Good good and lovely if somewhat noisy atmosphere. Great tapas with excellent wine choice. Lovely almonds olives and Fino to start.Service a bit slow but friendly.

This was out third time at Cigsla. The quality and selection of Tapas is great. Interesting and reasonable wine list. Convivial crowd. Only drawback is slightly slow service

The food and wine were delicious. Its a simple restaurant with unpretentious decor, on a lovely lively street. Great for business meeting or friends catch up as not too loud and can hear each other speak.

Prompt service and fast delivery. The food was good and the restaurant has an old school style which we love. The deserts are not to be missed.

Wonderful good, great service and a delightful afternoon. Cigale is a favourite place to meet friends for lunch or dinner. The menu is varied, well-cooked and always delicious!

The food was excellent, but the service just vanished at a certain point. We were given menus for dessert but no-one came near thereafter. After half an hour, we left, with those menus still on the table, found our way to the cashier, paid, and left. Would I go again? Perhaps.

Excellent food and location. Came here for my birthday and was treated very well for the evening! A particular favourite is the gambas al ajillo - delicious!

We had a lovely meal in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. As ever, staff were helpful and food was plentiful and delicious! We will be back!

Lovely fish plates, and the wine was good and fairly priced. We have been to Cigala before and we will return. I recommend Cigala as good value For money.

Great great food. Chorizo. Pardeone peppers. Chicken livers in sweet wine were awesome. Even the bread was different and delicious bLovely staff. easy atmosphere. Go there!

Good food especially the fish and the starting tapas; ambience OK, not "classy" but not too noisy. Service good with willingness to speed up to meet time schedule

Good value for money lunch with attentive service and excellent good value wine list. The tapas selection is also extremely good. The mains are competitively priced

We booked for early evening on a Saturday and this proved a great time to visit, as we had the restaurant to ourselves! Beautiful food as ever and friendly staff. One of the best places in London for authentic tapas.

Excellent - as ever. Professional and reliable. We would be very upset if they ever took the Mulhacen jelly off the dessert menu. Very good quality ingredients.

Terrific classic tange of tapas. Lovely friendly service. Top class chicken paella, superb spinach with sultanas and pine nuts. Great choice of wine. Lovely neighbourhood restaurant.

Always reliable, authentic tapas - the tortilla was particularly outstanding on this occasion - and are perfect for lunch. A good choice with a light, airy room.

Delicious food and great atmosphere! Informal yet attentive service. Set menu very good value for money. Recommend the skate wing! We will be back again...

The food is always good at Cigala, and the restaurant is a lively, buzzy place to eat. We live in the neighbourhood and go there often when we want a treat!

We visited for Mother's Day lunch. They had a delightful set menu £18 for 3 courses, including paella, as well as the a la carte. We'd particularly recommend the lamb meatballs and the chocolate cake. The food was very nice, the staff friendly and helpful. We'll happily visit again.

Mildly upset to find my reserved table had been taken by another group claiming to be me! Not the restaurant's fault. Had tapas this time to sample more dishes. The food and wine (unpronounceable Basque white) was excellent as ever. The place continues to have that happy buzz that's missing for so many other restaurants.

Excellent food, an interesting wine list and friendly staff. We had the tapas; they are genuinely Spanish, and there's a wide choice. A great place for a relaxing evening out.

Amazing delicious food, friendly neighbourhood restaurant I would heartily recommend it, we will be back soon it is also very reasonably priced. A gem. Thank you

Food nice. Portion size pretty stingy - about 15 padron peppers for £7! Service ok. And there was a bit of a draught around my back (I was sitting by the window) which wasn't ideal.

Great food, pleasant staff and atmosphere. I would love to return and have a boozy extended lunch! Will definitely return and sample the rest of the menu

The food was really excellent and on the pavement outside they cook what looks like a good Paella to take away. The tables are a little close together if you're looking to have a private conversation.

Cigala is a lovely relaxed place - friendly staff, excellent tapas and sherry, and great value. This may be my new favourite restaurant. Definitely recommend.

Really good food as always they maintain a high standard. The ginger ice-cream must be one of the best ice-creams I have ever had. Truly memorable.

We visited after our daughter's graduation. I had been before with friends and enjoyed very much. The food was great and reasonably priced and the service was excellent.

Good friendly service and excellent food. It felt like an authentic Spanish restaurant and cheered us up on a rainy London night. We really enjoyed the paella and the atmosphere.

We had a lovely evening really lovely food relaxed atmosphere and the service was good too. I recommend this restaurant and will definitely return again

It was okay. Slightly slow on the service; the food was good and tasty but I wanted it to look, feel and taste fresher somehow...

Food was interesting, well served and in pleasant surroundings. The menu provided a good selection of tapas and main courses including some things for vegetarians.

Lovely food - as always. The paella was a particular favourite. Our table was a little bit cosy for three people - and the waitresses were rushed off their feet at times. But these are small points and did not detract from a great evening.

The food was really nice and there was plenty of it although this isn't the cheapest place for Tapas. . The wine was also lovely. The restaurant was very empty, there were only 4 of us in there so it did lack atmosphere. Maybe some background music would have been nice. Will definitely be returning.

A relaxed and friendly venue. Great food reasonably priced. Felt like a corner of Spain. First visit for me but it felt as though it was full of regulars

We had a lovely dinner at Cigala. The atmosphere was lively and the place was packed so we were glad we had reservations. We had the octopus, the grilled squid, the crab, the razor clams, the aubergine and the lamb meatballs. Everything was very tasty and well prepared. My only (small) gripe is that the service was not particularly attentive. No one ever came to our table to take care of us spontaneously. Instead we had to flag a waiter/waitress down for everything - menu, extra tapas order, check. However, once we did flag someone down they took care of what we needed quickly.

Excellent lunch in a comfortable airy room. The food is top notch and the Spanish wine list comprehensive. Very good and prompt service. Highly recommended.
