Ok I liked this place, good ambience and good wine, however:
Food is not like in Donostia, I felt like it was a London adjusted version.
Said that, it was still very good and had a nice quality/price ratio.
I don’t have a favorite dish to suggest, I tried only three or four dishes when there.
Between Lurra and Donostia (same owner I believe, one in front of the other) I prefer Lurra, especially for special nights. Donostia is a lighter and simpler version for a good dinner out, maybe during the week maybe.
Recommended to try!
Great Spanish restaurant. It is one of the few Spanish restaurants I would recommend in London. Nice atmosphere and the food is good as in Spain. Amazing jamon serrano, the appetizers are very good and also the specials they have as main courses.
Good wine selection of Spanish wineries.

We think restaurants are all about the people that run them. Good people create good restaurants. They care more about quality ingredients and they customers having a good time with good food and good wine, more than they care about PR, marketing, fancy foams and pretty decoration; they focus on hospitality. Donostia is one of these restaurants. It's a casual restaurant that serves up Spanish tapas and family-style mains in a light and modern restaurant in which everyone seems welcome. The best seats are at the bar, overlooking the carving of the Spanish ham off the bone and chatting with owner Nemanja and his young team. They started off importing wine, so the wines are great and well-priced. This is the sort of restaurant where you might bump into the butcher having just delivered the cuts for the daily specials. On the night we were there, there was an amazing slow-cooked lamb rack on offer that would look at home on a Spanish family's dinner table. It's just far enough from SoHo to escape the hype. We like it, and we would be regulars if we lived in London.
