    Tokova is a tiny place in Broadway Market, so expect plenty of buzz but certainly not a traditional restaurant setting. The Basque food is fresh and delicious and the family running the restaurant are absolutely delightful as well as very skilled. It all makes for a fun evening.

    Amazing tapas, fantastic service and great wine. We were dining to celebrate a birthday and it was such a good atmosphere sat at the kitchen. Great value for money too, feels more like a fine dining tasting menu. We will definitely be returning.

    The wines and food were all of amazing quality and the team were welcoming and helpful, exposing the dishes clearly and helping us to choose an appropriate wine for the food we ordered. We tried superb scallops; brilliant black rice and delicious cannelloni were almost beaten by the puddings. A delicious meal in convivial surroundings. Five star food bit without the need to go to the West End to get it. Maybe I won’t be so sad about Le Gavroche closing after all.

    This is a beautiful family run business with the mother running FOH and the daughter running the kitchen. It was relaxed, very tasty and good value for money! You have to get the Txuleta and the cheese cake. I can’t wait to go back.

    One of our favourite restaurants in London. We chose Tokova as our last meal in Tooting as we are moving away. Once again we absolutley loved the whole experience. The food is amazing and beautifully presented, the menu is very very good and the price is extremely reasonable considering the standard of the food. The staff are amazing and the owner is as brilliant as ever. She creates a real energy and her passion shines through. I’d highly recommend to anyone in the south west.

    Brilliant food from passionate and attentive staff. Loved it. Imaginative ingredients that tasted so so good. Great value, and great wine too. Only teeny tiny (and maybe very British) comment was the time it took for our final dishes to come. But that was only because it was so busy! Would throughly recommend.

    An absolute treasure hidden at the back of Tooting market. The majority of the food is small dish sharing plates and everything we’ve had was absolutely delicious. It’s a labour of love from the lady who runs the place who wants to share the joys of Basque cuisine with London. So tapas, but with a Basque twist. Highly recommended.

    Delicious food that I certainly have never had before. I know Spanish food well, but the Basque element to the menu really opened up my mind and I loved it. Such warm hospitality from the mother and daughter who run this place. A must visit!

    We arrived at 6:30 and ordered 5 plates. They came very slowly and as the place filled up it became unbearably slow. The last course taking 45 minutes and I had to repeatedly ask about it because we were now at 8:15 running late. The food was quite good but not good enough for the price. The service charge was included, I should have refused to pay it.
