This is such a hidden gem 💎 The food was outstanding the cocktails were delicious and the service was perfect. The only thing I would say is the food was a little rushed. I know it’s tapas and things come out at different times and so on but it was a special occasion for us and we felt like it was over before it began. Maybe we should have asked for things to come out far a few between. Other than that we can’t wait to go back but we will definitely ask for the food to come out a little slower

So so good. Food was fast to come. Right temperature. Restaurant was empty so that might have help. We did not have alcoholic beverages but for the amount of food we had we paid just under 50£ per person which I thought was very good. Definitely recommend.

We had a very pleasant evening at Zuaya the food was very good the surreoundings were pleasant and we were able to have a pleasant conversation over dinner. the staff were very pleasant and the only issue was that the delivery of meals were a bit erratic I think this was probably due to the restaurant being busy. The staff were very apologetic and the manager compensated for one of the meals and a class of prosecco for my wife. I liked this restaurant a lot and provided that the service issue is a one off it is a good place to experience south American cuisine.

Really lovely waiters, great service. Very pretty and nice vibes. Some of the food was nice, maybe we just ordered wrong. But after not eating much of the duck salad we were asked if it was okay, and after telling them the sauce was a bit over powering, they comped it from the bill which was kind of them.

A bottle of water at £5.75, flat champagne, patatas bravas that wasn’t anything like it should have been, and a wok of wet vegetables. A pretty poor attempt at tapas all round. The service was good and that was its only saving grace. You know they know it’s poor when half the meal is made complimentary when you complain. We will not be returning.

We had dinner for 7 people- table downstairs very close to the Toilet which was not pleasant at all- firstly very narrow corridor so people constantly walk by you and hit your chair second - you could absolutely smell toilet air freshener -very disappointing Otherwise good service and fun food

Food good but very expensive. Service lovely. But despite empty tables on the ground floor was put downstairs beside a group table and when they left there was no one else down there except our party of 3. No atmosphere at all! Very disappointed.
