Comida variada y buena cantidad y calidad. Muy buen servicio y con una decoración muy cuidada. Nos ha sorprendido encontrar un lugar así. Españoles, vengan a comer a LA GAMBA!!

Muy bien servicio y la comida 10/10 sobre todo las croquetas. Miguel nos ha atendido super bien👌

Un agradable restaurante de tapas españolas con una situación envidiable, a pocos metros del London Eye, que ofrece una excelente cocina y que cuenta con un servicio igualmente excelente. Un trocito de España en el corazón de Londres. Nos atendió Miguel que nos hizo sentir como en casa. Altamente recomendable.

Mi pareja y yo reservamos el bottomless brunch y no tenía las expectativas muy altas ya que la mayoría de restaurantes españoles en Londres dejan mucho que desear. Para nuestra sorpresa las croquetas estaban riquísima, parecía que estaba comiéndome las de mi abuela 🥹 los pimientos asados riquísimos también y la torrija ni te cuento. Recomiendo 100% este restaurante, Miguel nos trató genial, todo el mundo súper majo.

Came here for a meal before a show at the National Theatre. Dishes are very generous. Lovely food, far superior to the many chains nearby. We sat near kitchen, which was fun watching the chefs and got to see the other dishes we'll order next time we come. Service great and attentive and quick. It was very busy for a Tuesday night, glad we had booked in advance. We'll definitely be going again next time we are in Southbank.

I took my family to spend New Year’s Eve at La Gamba, and it was our first time there — but definitely not the last. The atmosphere was amazing, and the staff were absolutely wonderful. A special shout-out to Dominik, who was incredibly kind and attentive. I also want to take a moment to sincerely thank the entire team for working on New Year’s Eve so that families like ours could be together. I know that can’t always be easy, and it truly meant a lot to us. Even though everyone was working that night, their smiles, positive energy, and great service did not go unnoticed. We really appreciated it and had a memorable evening. Highly recommended!

Came here with my boyfriend for our anniversary. Miguel welcomed us in like we were his family. He was super attentive and friendly! He gave us two glasses of bubbles to celebrate our anniversary which was a lovely touch. Food was absolutely amazing from start to finish! From the tasty jamón,pulpo scallops everything we enjoyed.We were so full but managed to squeeze in desserts! Definitely would recommend and we will be back soon! Thank you !

Good tapas bar. Comfy dining garden with heating lamps outside. 3 available types of Sangria (nice, not so common!). The ordered tapas were tasty and the staff was nice.

We had a fantastic experience at La Gamba. From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, friendly, and attentive without ever being intrusive. We ordered two portions bread and butter for the table to start, loved it. I loved the flaked salt over the butter instead of serving salted butter. The Gambas al Ajillo (without chilli) were a standout; the prawns were lovely and the sauce they came with was perfect for dipping bread into. The meatballs were also delicious, and again the bread made a great combo to soak up the sauce. The Torta Galega with pulled meat was very tasty, though I personally wasn’t keen on it being served on toast. I think some mini tortillas with a little cheese and salsa would have gone down even better but this is just a personal preference rather than a reflection of the dish. Our waiter was lovely and attentive without being annoying, which really added to the whole experience. Definitely worth a visit. We didn’t manage to get any pictures of the dishes besides the bread, but the food was memorable enough on its own.

Trendy and upbeat meets family owned and operated at this River front restaurant on the Thames. It is a must go to when visiting London for a modern take on true tapas recipes straight from Spain. The aubergine is a must when visiting here. The staff is attentive and inclusive to all nationalities, treating each table like you are a part of their own family when dining here.

My mum and I were just looking for somewhere to have a quick drink in the sun on her birthday and Miguel, the host, was extremely warm, kind and accommodating, even though we didn’t have a reservation and all of the tables in the sun had been booked. The whole team were very welcoming! In the end, Miguel found us a great spot in the sun for some martinis and their Flip to Spain cocktail plus we ordered some of the octopus which was absolutely divine. Will definitely be back :)

What's not to love about tapas! The food was delicious and amazing, and full of flavours. Personally it reminded me of the tapas you get in Spain (minus the cost). While everything was great and brilliant, it's not cheap. My friend ordered the Gamba shrimp and he though it would come pelled, which it doesn't. However the staff was kindly enough to take it back and didn't charge us for it. The restaurant is on Southbank so it's constantly busy. As there is a constant flux of people around mind your stuff.

I chose this restaurant basically because when I tried to book several nearby restaurants online, they always needed me to give my credit card number to reserve a table, while this restaurant La Gamba when I tried to reserve a table online, they didn’t require me to give my credit card number, and I feel more safe and secure, so I reserved a table and went there for dinner, we had the set tapas menu for 2, which are £29 per person and had 6 dishes of tapas. We also added bread & butter and had 2 glasses of cocktail. Food was so delicious, the margarita was nice unlike some places the cocktail is very diluted but here I can really taste it. Waiter & waitress offers good services, and it has outdoor seating, when the weather is nice it was just so lovely to dine along the River Thames, I would really recommend this restaurant, and price is fair considering it’s in central London.

Las croquetas de crab con tinta negra están espectaculares. El tamaño de las raciones es pequeño.

Overall the food is good, except the seafood rice coz it’s a bit salty for us. Scallops are too small. I would recommend mussels, it’s really delicious.

I went with my young daughter after a day at the aquarium. It wasn’t very busy, since it was a Monday around 1 pm. The service was quick—they took the order promptly and the food didn’t take long to arrive. I ordered huevos rotos, ham croquettes, and fried anchovies (which I can never find in Spanish restaurants here in London), so I was pretty happy—until the food came. Instead of fried fresh anchovies, they brought me boquerones en vinagre battered and fried. I don’t know why, but I ate them anyway, even though that’s not what I ordered. I also asked for bread to go with the huevos rotos. Honestly, bread should either come with the dish or at least be perfect when you ask for it—huevos rotos without bread is like a plane without wings, it just doesn’t work. Unfortunately, the bread was undercooked, so I couldn’t enjoy the dish as I would have liked. The huevos rotos themselves weren’t bad, but there was only one egg, a lot of chorizo (a bit too salty), hardly any ham, and the potatoes were cut like patatas bravas rather than the thin, pan-fried style I would expect. On the positive side, the ham croquettes were very good, although I didn’t like that they used aioli to stick them to the plate and then topped them with grated cheese. That gives the wrong impression of what Spanish food really is. I’m not sure if the restaurant aims to serve traditional Spanish food or not, so I’ll leave that in doubt. I would go back and give it another try, hoping this time they serve proper fresh fried anchovies, dusted in flour and fried whole with the bones, as they should be. The bill came to £50 for three tapas and two drinks (a 330ml beer and a pineapple juice). I’m not sure it was worth it, especially considering bread wasn’t included.

Great place and nice food! Shame that they didn’t have a container to take some food home as we ordered too much!

Ian Young

Bit of a mixed experience today. Some highlights but a couple of lows too. Overall though a fairly decent meal. First positives initially had a warm welcome and service was quick and food came quickly too. Jamon croquettes, aubergine, and asparagus where great, patatas brava was average and mussels tasted really good , but some were very gritty. Lows included overcooked cod cheeks , although caper sauce was nice, and chicken thighs a bit dry and just nothing, cooked better myself last weekend. Would probably give it another go as may have been unlucky. Service at times was a bit perfunctory. Desert was glorious, torrija, sorry didn't get a photo of that one , meaning we left on a high.

Dan Angell-Collins

Beautiful small plates of food, set next to the River Thames. Outdoor seating if the weather is right. Perfect place for a get together to enjoy shared plates for lunch or dinner.

Lovely food (although not 100% authentic). Torreja was the star dessert! Great service. Good to sit on the terrace on a sunny day. Look forward to returning!

Visited La Gamba last weekend! The place was buzzing and was very lively. Food was authentic and very flavourful. Only feedback is about quantity the portions were quite small for the price. Staff were very friendly and courteous. I am definitely coming again.

Gergana Tarasheva

The food was good. Sangrria - only sugar syrup, fruit and ice, the wine was missing . Great service from Teresa .Unfortunately, she left and served us Jose I can't say anything positive. And quite rude attitude from Dominic

Francesca Rizzo

Nice restaurant, we went for the bottomless sangria brunch. The food is pretty good, very generous portions with three tapas per person, we couldn’t even finish it all. The sangria is not the best I have ever had, but you can drink it quite easily! We also had a bottle of Cava (included in the bottomless) so can’t really complain. Service needs some improvement, generally very slow, which is not really what you want during a 90 minutes brunch; we also had one waiter with a bit of an attitude…so when we found a £33 discretionary service charge it was quite the surprise. We paid anyway as in the end the food was good.

El bar la gamba nos ha decepcionado mucho. La comida no esta mala, pero, los productos sin sabor. El arroz para dos personas no es asi. Es para una persona y da gracias . Nos toco a dos cucharadas por persona. El postre la tarta de queso estaba rica ,pero, la torrija sin leche y seca. Como dice el titulo del restaurante la Gamba eso es lo que” hemos metido la GAMBA en venir al restaurante. Muy decepcionada con la comida. El trato fue servicial y la atmosfera bonita. Pero el coste caro para lo que es una tapita enana y te vas a casa y esto nos costo 83 pavos señores . NO MERECE LA PENA!!!!

El camarero que era español, un auténtico mal educado!!! Desastre total gracias a sus formas

Mala elección. Pedimos tortilla “española”, patatas bravas, croquetas, albóndigas, berenjena, tarta de queso y torrija. La tortilla no se le podía llamar tortilla española, venía con una salsa roja por encima que ni idea de qué era. Estaba sequísima, no era casera. Las patatas bravas eran como patatas cocidas en vez de fritas. Las albóndigas tampoco eran caseras. La berenjena, en vez de ser una entera era la mitad (no lo indicaban cuando lo pedimos). Lo único que se salvaba fueron las croquetas (lo único que era casero del menú). Las raciones muy muy escasas, nos quedamos con hambre, nada que ver con las raciones en España. La tortilla era del tamaño de mi mano (ver foto). La tarta de queso para llorar, la torrija pasable, es difícil hacerla mal. Lo mejor el camarero español que nos atendió, que fue muy amable. Conclusión: Bien si eres inglés nostálgico que ha ido a españa de vacaciones y no sabes lo que es la comida española buena. Mal si eres un español buscando un poco de nuestro país en Londres.

La comida no había por dónde cogerla. De español no tiene nada y lo peor es que me cobraron 16 libras de más. Eran 100 y me cobraron 116. No volvería.

Hola, este restaurante es una gran estafa, el servicio da pena, trajeron la comida sin cubiertos y la comida escasa, hemos pedido menú de tapas para compartir, por que te obligan para mínimo 2 personas pero las tapas trajeron para 1 persona muy, muy pequeñas y muy mala calidad y eso por 25£ por persona!!!! Al quedarnos con hambre pedimos varias cosas más entre cual picanha steak que vale 14 £ y era un trozo de carne máximo de mida a dos dedos niño. OJO ESTAFA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
