Last minute decision to go here for something to each. The food was excellent with great service. Well worth a visit for any tapas fan. The chargrilled T-bone is a must for any steak lover.

Visited with a work colleague. Their first visit, my second. We had a mixture of tapas plus a paella split between us.

All the usual stuff in terms of tapas. Well cooked and good portions.

Paella would take 45 mins we were informed as they make it fresh. We had the tapas and the paella duly arrived a bit ahead of schedule. Really nice and worth the wait.

Worth a visit.

We used to live in Croydon and Galicia was our favourite haunt. We have been away for over ten years now and went back with some friends to reminisce

Amazingly, the restaurant manager- who used to be the junior waiter - recognised us and made us so welcome. There were also other staff members who we recognised, so they obviously treat staff well and get loyalty in exchange.

The menu was similar to what it was, traditional tapas dishes (in racione sized portions rather than true tapas).

We ordered 12 dishes between us and not a single one was disappointing. Piping hot when they should have been, nicely cold when they should have been. Special mention to the delicious kidneys.

Absolutely loved it, busy and loud, good atmosphere and delicious well priced food. Finished with a few martini espresso cocktails

Fantastic!

Had a table but no plates or napkins for when the food arrived. This is a old establishment but lacks professionalism from the staff. I would only go here as a last resort.

I was appalled by the manager’s behaviour and rude tone. I am 9 months pregnant and I was told I had to wait for the manager to seat us (no offering of a seat while waiting). We had been waiting for 5 minutes after speaking with the manager while he was logging the order of another table when suddenly a big group of people arrived and bypassed just because they had a booking. When I mentioned we had already been waiting for 5’ the manager’s response was “you will wait for another 5’”. It is unacceptable to speak like that to any client, let alone the fact that I was pregnant. I find it disgusting and I am sorry I have been there previously. Won’t be coming back.
