Cigala

Lovely food . Pleasant staff and really like this area .. Red lion st and Lambs conduit . The house wine good value and it feels like good value .

Always like coming here: pleasant staff and generally very good food. Three of us had the set lunch which didn't reach great heights on this occasion but was just OK. It won't stop us coming again.

My wife, Liz and I had an excellent lunch and were delighted with the very attentive service. The food well- presented and delicious. The tapas starters were tasty and the paella unctious. We will be back again soon.

Good food, "humble ambiance", good, friendly service , great quail, very good skate, have eaten here several times, lots of outdoor seating, interesting neighbourhood, lunch particularly good value

Nice food, good service, extremely civilised atmosphere. It's never cheap, but overall I'd say this restaurant warrants the bill every time. We would - and do - go back

Lovely relaxed atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff. Bright and airy decorations. Excellent tapas menu with a good selection. I would definitely go back. Highly recommended

The food was delicious. Loved the fried anchovies and the chicken livers were superb as was ther rest of the meal. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Great food in a relaxed atmosphere. The service is very friendly and unobtrusive and it's a great place to watch the world go by as you eat. A bit like Spain really!

Soooo good ! Amazing paella with chicken and chorizo ... and awesome deserts !

Very good restaurant, a bit inattentive on service side, but food and ambience trump it. The paella is fantastic, the deserts are nicely more than the usual and prices are fair

very good tapas; very friendly and helpful staff.;the gambas and serrano were excellent;if you like quail, it was first rate.overall, an excellent meal which we have repeated.

Realky excellent food, efficient service, excellent wine list plus opportunities to sit outside in this elegant area of Central London. What's not to like like?

Great food and friendly service. The tapas menu always good and then bigger dishes if that is your thing. Can get full and noisy but if the weather is good there is always outside!

Great food, nice ambience for catching up with friends. Good Spanish wine selection and reasonable price. Located in a nice street away from the hustle and bustle

Great food and friendly staff. Went for a business lunch was able to chat without being overheard well spaced out and the Paella was spot on. Will definitely be back.

Very nice Spanish restaurant, with an amazing seafood paella. We shared 6 tapas in 4 people before having the main, and they were all good. Also the sangria jug was interesting.

Friendly, efficient, EXCELLENT food. Great atmosphere. The restaurant was unexpectedly short staffed, but the service remained very good, very friendly. All diners were cared for and very happy, despite a busy Sunday lunch. We will certainly return.

Great food and service in charming street. The seafood paella is unbeatable and the tapas on offer for the £19 Sunday lunch are excellent as were the desserts.

Lovely place with a nice atmosphere. Marisco (seafood) Paella and marisco Fidegua are for me their best dishes. This now a classic place for us where to go with friends

We have been to Cigala a few times now, the food excellent as always, the staff are polite very friendly. Would highly recommend. Look forward to our next visit.

Always reliable food and service. Wine choices are excellent. Restaurant has great local atmosphere with a good buzz of conversation. Always try to eat here on trips to London.

Reliable as ever and very pleasant. Excellent fish. Admirable sherry and red wine by the glass. Friendly service and nice ambiance so everything was good.

Service was slow and the atmosphere was non-existent. They also do this awful thing of adding the service charge on the bill as standard. I know a lot of restaurants do this but come on, at least make sure 1) your service is not slow 2) your waiters/ waitresses know what the food on your menu is like (my waitress couldn't advise on a dish) 3) your restaurant offers a pleasant atmosphere (no music in the place, bare walls with no decor) 4) you actually welcome us when we enter your restaurant Food was very good but sick and tired of restaurants expecting a service charge when the service is nowhere near deserving this.

Very pleasant atmosphere. Excellent service and very competent kitchen. Wines very acceptable (Godello from Monterrei is excellent value). Overall, a very pleasant experience, and will return soon.

We chose tapas as starters which was ok. For mains my guest had bream which looked fine but I had a truly awful seared tuna - copmpletely tasteless with what might well have been a tin of french onion soup poured over it - horrible.

A very relaxed well run restaurant, a good venue for simple lunch or big night out. Very good food, top wine and nice service, a rarity!

Lovely restaurant with tasty tapas and great Rioja. My one complaint would be that there were too many tables packed into the tiny upstairs restaurant.....The chap at the next table didn't realise he was using my head as a resting place for his coat.

Have eaten at Cigala several times. Always have experienced great food and service, reminds me of some very special meals in various parts of real Spain.

Great, friendly, laid back but prompt service. Food was delicious. Situated on a beautiful quiet street. Chicken and chorizo Paella was amazing. Busy for a Wednesday evening.

Cigala is a eeal gem. Excellent food, friendly service, great place. We all really enjoyed ourselves. The wine was fantastic too. We would definitely go again.

Quite a romantic setting for supper - the mixed meat platter was nothing to write home about and we were expecting more for the price, but the arroz negro was delicious!

The best quality Spanish food and service this side of the Channel. My favourite "local" restaurant on one of the coolest side streets of London

First, full marks as they were v helpful as I booked the wrong week, but they squeezed us in anyway! Have been here on and off for many years, since it opened, being close to my former work. Lots of things for a piscatarian and full vegetarians. We had one of each. We had tapas, which suited. Interesting wines from the Basque region. Not too expensive. A very successful evening.

The food was excellent save from a small amount of shell in the crab and scallop dishes. It was a Christmas lunch but drunk guests exacerbated the poor acoustics. My guess is that this level of noise is flying in the face of health and safety for the staff but many restaurants seem to suffer from it. Our host has tinnitus which was difficult. Having said that I'd certainly go back at a quieter time.

It was a very busy Saturday night, and it was clear the staff were struggling to cope. However, we chose from the Xmas special tapas menu, and enjoyed some excellent new dishes. Cigala remains one of our favourite restaurants in the heart of Bloomsbury.

Great tapas in Central London, try the mushroom croquetas and the cheese plate... All dishes were great! Albariño wine is a good choice!

Really enjoyed our Tapas at Cigala. Excellent, swift service- every plate was delicious, with really good Cava and wine. We shared a cheese platter and a pudding between the five of us. Highly recommended

I haven't been to Cigala in over 10 years but have recommended it to colleagues and it continues to delight! Quality food and attentive service makes this establishment worth visiting !

The food was fresh as it was lunchtime, no feeling of reheated food. Inventive and filling. I strongly recommend Cigala. Also Lamb's Conduit Street which is one of London's best and most secret shopping streets.

Great variety of tapas. Good wine. Pleasant ambience. Fish dishes particularly good & calves liver superb. Would thoroughly recommend and will Definitely eat there again.

Great atmosphere ... Lovely food .....good value . My partner and had to change our booking and the restaurant was so helpful . It was a thurs night and the restaurant was full.

I have visited this restaurant a number of times and it never disappoints! Great food and service. Lovely atmosphere and staff. House wine is delightful too! I will be visiting again soon!

Excellent value set menu, classic Spanish dishes, friendly and efficient service, pleasant decor, relaxing atmosphere, great for watching the world go by along Lambs Conduit Street

My fifth visit to Cigala and another lovely paella. I have only been disappointed with this restaurant once, and that time I didn't have the paella!

very good as always, The food, ambience and wine make for a very relaxing evening. I would not hesitate to go back there again and again.

Wonderful neighborhood spot offering a large selection of tapas. Highly recommend the salt cod fritters, lamb meatballs and squid ink paella. I'm a visitor from the states, coming often for business, and make a point to come here each time. Never disappoints.

Great food, good selection of wine and excellent, friendly service. The large selection of tapas is particularly good and authentic. All in all a very satisfactory experience.

Decentish food. Mrs Y had the set menu which came with the rarest lamb I have ever seen. Don't get me wrong, I like my meat rare but bleating on the plate is a bit too much even for me. My tapas was decent. Pud was abut minimalistic to say the least. Dense Almond cake with a sniff of cream - tasty but not earth shattering. Overall a decent place but compared to Mancunian outlets knocking out top notch Spanish grub- barely comparable- sorry to say!

Cigala was a really great place to stay. We did enjoy the tapas party with great atmosphere and nice cocktails! Bet we will go back later on.

Unpretentious Spanish tapas restaurant. Well cooked, tasty food with staff who listen to your needs. Menu varied with something for everyone. Would certainly recommend. Have been a few times and never disappointed.
