Excellent brunch and cocktails! Loved the Venezuelan twist on breakfast with plantain and refried beans. It was all delicious and pretty healthy, just wish the chicken was hot! Great gluten-free options too for my friend. Will be returning!

We had an amazing brunch here. We visited Saturday around 2pm and it was not very busy so probably no need to book in advance. I had one of the brunch bowls with a cachapa (my first cachapa and I am now obsessed). My partner had the chicken stuffed arepa but this was much smaller than we expected so not really a main. We also tried the yuca balls with whipped feta and sugar cane which were incredible and the fried plantain with pulled pork, also very nice. The food is great, I just wish (brunch bowl being the exception) that the portions were a bit bigger. I couldn’t help noticing this restaurant seemed a bit emptier than some of its neighbours and that may be because they are seen to offer better value for money.

I ordered 2 arepas and 2 beef bowls. Both were extremely small, barely had ANY beef (below), no rice in bowls, very stingy with the beef, and also opened up one of my arepas to find a small slice of plastic. Not sure what it came off of, but that is a SERIOUS hazard that nobody should take lightly. When I called, the person who was handling my complaint was very dismissive and said she’d talk to the kitchen, with no ‘sorry’. The portion sizes are TERRIBLE and not a good value for money at all. £50 for half a meal is not applauded. I was expecting the arepas to give me some hope that I didn’t waste my money, but they only made this cause worse. Not only did the plastic disappoint me, but the lack of beef in everything was very bad. I am sincerely asking for a refund, as I think that portions and customer service is very bad here.If you have a shortage of food, CLOSE THE RESTAURANT. Person who answered my call gave no apology and said she’d talk to the kitchen. This place is hazardous. No value for money. Avoid if possible.

Such good food! Came quickly and all tasty. Only gripe is service was a bit too quick and we were asked if we were done with our food whilst we were still eating which i didn’t like (wasn’t that busy so was a bit strange!)

My recent dining experience at this Venezuelan gem was nothing short of exceptional!

We started our meal sharing the tequeños: perfectly crispy on the outside and deliciously cheesy on the inside. We also indulged in the crispy fried chicken with chipotle and guava glaze served with aji amarillo sauce. The chicken was cooked to perfection, with a tantalizing crunch and a flavor profile that danced between sweet and spicy. The sauce added an extra layer of complexity that was simply irresistible. They were a delightful prelude to the main courses that followed.

For the main course we ordered arepa pabellón: a traditional dish that included shredded beef, black beans, ripe plantains, and grated cheddar cheese. Each bite was a harmonious blend of savory and sweet, a true testament to Venezuelan culinary artistry.

We also had the arepa Mariana, which featured a creamy mix of chicken, mayo, avocado, cheddar, and plantains. This arepa was rich and satisfying, with the avocado adding a fresh, buttery touch that balanced the dish beautifully.

To end our meal on a sweet note, we chose the "tres leches" for dessert. The soft sponge cake soaked in three types of milk was fluffy and indulgent topped with meringue, a Venezuelan classic that did not disappoint.

In addition to the delicious food, the portions were just right, leaving us perfectly satisfied without feeling overwhelmed. The restaurant's decor and ambiance were equally impressive, radiating Venezuelan charm and creating a cozy yet lively dining environment.

Overall, this restaurant offers a fantastic culinary journey through Venezuela with dishes that are both authentic and innovative.

Deliciosa comida, una ración justa y un local con mucho ambiente, decoración y espíritu venezolano.

Highly recommended!

All the food was delicious, but the Cachapa was amazing! The service was friendly, the restaurant atmosphere was great, but the lamp were dimming randomly. Probably something they will fix soon. Would definitely return.

First time we visited this restaurant and it didn't disappoint. Food was good, tasty, fresh. Our waiter , Carlos, was very friendly and professional.
The place is also spacious and has a unique decoration. I'd definitely recommend it!

£23 + tip for this absolute slop. Fried chicken was bone dry, micro pasties were filled with mush, sauces had no discernable flavour, and the passion fruit juice was weak and bland, like everything else. Wouldn't have been so bad if the prices were even halfway reasonable, but as demanded, I feel absolutely robbed. Avoid.
