Tapa Tapa - Newham

We thoroughly enjoyed the food at this restaurant. Initially, we had planned to just have dessert, but decided to try some dishes as well because they were so delicious. We ordered bread and mushrooms, both of which were very tasty. Unfortunately, the seats were not very comfortable, but since we only sat for 30 minutes, it was not a big issue for us.

This charming restaurant offers delicious tapas dishes. The portions are generous and the prices are surprisingly reasonable, especially for London standards (we are from the North). The atmosphere is lovely and the service is attentive. I highly recommend it!

Really disappointed by this restaurant. They told us that we would need to sit on a bench type table as we hadn’t booked. I asked if we could have a small table by ourselves and was told no. A couple joined our “bench” and were talking quite loudly, not very loudly but as we were sitting so close to them, we couldn’t not hear their conversation and it was not possible to have a peaceful meal. We just ate and left. I saw at least 6 empty tables that were unoccupied the whole time we were there and we were at the restaurant from 7 8.30 so they were unlikely to be all booked. I concluded that the restaurant manager had decided to squash us on the “bench” to keep the tables free to maximise their revenue. But it spoilt our experience and although the food was good, for this reason we won’t go back. So th

This restaurant is wonderful. Our server, Dania, was fantastic. She was attentive without being intrusive. We asked for her recommendations on how many tapas dishes to order and she was right on the mark. The food was amazing. We particularly enjoyed the meatballs. Dania also told us about how they make their Tortilla which we plan to try next time. We didn't feel rushed at all and the atmosphere was great. We highly recommend this restaurant.

Best tapas I’ve ever had in the UK. Food was freshly cooked and super tasty. Service excellent, good vibe ambiance. As others have said the tables are small so have to shuffle things around a bit but not a problem. My only slight frustration was they bought water to the table that looked like tap water. To be fair I didn’t clarify but we were charged £2. Felt a bit underhand. They add a discretionary 12.5% service charge to the bill which to be fair is becoming the norm these days but just for awareness! Would def highly recommend and would go back. It’s pretty much right outside the west entrance to the Excel.
