The food was excellent! I would’ve liked the octopus leg to be a bit more charred, but it was done just as splendidly! The paella was nicely sized so even a single person can finish it. Great buzzy atmosphere excellent for gathering with friends or just an easy night out. Music was retro and catchy. Service was prompt and friendly.
First time going to a tapas place and this was an incredible experience. The service was attentive and friendly while having good knowledge of the menu and the customer. The food was fantastic. My friend said her favorite was the croquettes and the peppers which were so flavorful and perfectly cooked. My favorite were the potatoes that came with the pork as the green sauce was the best I’ve ever had. I also recommend the chorizo a vino as this was second place for me. The sangria is a must as well as some dessert. Overall, highly recommend stopping by and trying whatever sounds best to you.
Great service and delicious food.
The only reason why I’m giving Lobos 4 stars is because of the rowdy patrons we were sat next to - who were still being served drinks despite being drunk out of their minds. Could barely hold a conversation with my friends as they were so loud.
But again, everything else was fantastic!
Went for dinner to celebrate my friend’s birthday. What we ordered:
- bread: good but took a long time to bring olive oil and balsamic vinegar
- padron peppers: really good flavour and quantity. Larger quantity than most tapas restaurants
- patatas bravas: sauce was flavourful, potato was crispy on the outside. Overall good side dish but nothing special
- black rice paella: standout dish! Balanced flavours and good consistency on the rice.
- steak: most reviews said the steak was the best thing at Lobos but I’m not sure I agree. We ordered it medium and I felt it was a bit overcooked.
Staff were amazing and gave us a slice of cheesecake on the house for my friend’s birthday. I’d overall say food is 3/5 and service/atmosphere are a 5.
Great little place. Not much space inside but the atmosphere for a Friday night was busy and jolly. There was plenty of waiting staff on hand for what ever we needed. The food was fresh and so tasty . The Wolf Mistress cocktails were delicious.
Food: 3.5/5 but rounded up. The food overall was good and the aubergine was very refreshing. The paella was good as well but the aioli was the main source of salt for it. The prawns were the best of the bunch and the ribeye was okay as well. The only thing we wish was that the food came out a bit hotter and while it was good, we felt nothing was exceptional. However, with an extremely busy service on Saturday afternoon, it can be hard to blame them for that especially with such quick and prompt service at half past 4 on a Saturday.
Service: Very prompt and quick. We ordered drinks (a diet coke, a sangria and a tonic water) and they came out within five minutes of ordering. The efficiency was amazing for how quickly things got processed and it looked like everyone on staff knew exactly what to do and when to do it.
Atmosphere: 3.5/5 Lively. The music was a bit loud for my tastes but maybe because we were sat near the speakers but it wasn't really an experience deterring thing. The other customers and the staff all gave off positive energy.
Overall we had a positive experience here today!
Food is really great. It’s got fantastic selection of cocktails and wine. Steak is a stand out dish! Service was a little slow and we had to keep prompting for drinks and dishes. But is a minor point. Everyone was super friendly.
The IBERICO PORK SELECTION is amazing! Octopus leg is nice also but I don't like the taste of black rice paella and the portion is too small.
Better than expected! Ambience was gorgeous, service was incredible and food outstanding. I would highly recommend the Ibérico Pork Selection to share (in photo) and if you let them know you're there for a birthday they make your experience extra nice! We had a lovely time.
Conveniently located in central london, this tapas and steak places fors both things very well. i must shoutout for the staff as well, we stayed well over the closing time but not once did the staff ask us to leave! to top it off we asked them for a fairly extensive photo session. the relaxed atmosphere of the place makes for easy conversation.
Cozy restaurant set across multiple levels in a bustling part of town.
We ordered six dishes between three of us and were full by the end!
Pan con tomate was a bit soggy, but the rest was really good. Loved the octopus which is served with sweet potato, and the secreto iberico and the garlic prawns!
The black risotto is also worth a try!
Definitely try the croquettes and the paella. The iberico pork board was also very good. I would recommend booking a table before hand as it can get quite busy but the food is worth it. We asked for a birthday dessert at the last minute and they really came through for us so I can't recommend them enough.
Lovely restaurant for tapas and drinks in Soho.
Their variety of dishes were all amazing. Unfortunately we came at a time where they said none of the meat dishes were available but we did see other people who had ordered previously and looked quite good.
All the dishes were fresh and hot.
Service was great. Special thanks to our server who (at our request) asked the kitchen for an extra piece of octopus leg after we told her the next table knocked ours to the floor as she was seating herself.
Seating is a it tight so don't bring too many bags or large jackets.
Overall fantastic place to try.
The three of us had a nice time here. The food and service were nice and we were able to chat even though it was quite loud. We had all the classic tapas. All were well prepared. The octopus got rave reviews from my Japanese companions. It was £178 for 3. We didn't drink/eat that much. Probably reasonable for central London and this restaurant style.
They have a 1.5h table limit, which wasn't strictly enforced for us, but it seems short for tapas. It should be a relaxed night out, ordering a bit at a time, but I guess most places are forced to set limits. No cancellation fee when we booked, which is appreciated.
🥘 Food:5/5
💁 Service:4/5
🎇 Decoration & Vibe:5/5
I have to say tapas here is great! Especially the grilled octopus leg, what a treat! However the inner area, where there are 6 tables each is for two people, is extremely crowded. It should be a place for two tables each for 4 or 5 really.
Delicious food, many things too choose but still simple menu and seems more authentic. Just super packed on the weekends and nosy.
