La Rueda - Clapham in Lambeth

Birthday Sunday Night Out. We couldn’t choose a right place for a while, as it should be Gluten and corn free, less diary etc. Week by week we checked places… and then we decided to stay local and find something around. And YAY, @larueda_clapham was chosen for this special occasion.We were the first who came into restaurant, calm spanish music, dimmed lights, friendly waitresses in a shiny white shirt. We had a right to choose a table, sat down, got a menu… plenty of tapas-veggie,seafood or meat ones! Great selection of main course and -Thanks GOD-paella menu!!! Food arrived quick, we requested-as it comes- as 3 of us wanted to share and keep eating!When tapas and mains were eaten we were waiting for the star dish of this night!Paella!!!The portion is for 2ppl, BUT if You have some tapas before-You will ask for TA as I did😅That dish could be eaten by 3-4 persons easily!Desserts were Yummy! Churros isn’t my thing, but Creme Brulee and Granny’s cake were delish!Great service, attentive staff, fingers licking food… what else do You need for a birthday dinner!Will defo recommend to try Octopus as a main, baby squids, Mediterranean Prawns, Tuna Empanadas and of course paella!Wouldn’t go for cheese plates, as You can get Manchego from Aldi for £3 rather then 6 slices for £10+SC.

Went there recently....had the pealla which was really good. Garlic bread with cheese was rock hard. I ordered another one for my wife but that came back rock hard as well. Ask for a vodka and diet coke but only recived a diet coke. Had it exchanged but was charged the price of a normal glass of coke and a vodka. The normal price of coke is considerably more than the splash mixer measure. Food very good otherwise but keep an eye on the service charge. Staff polite and will charge for everything as expected....no hospitality on the house.Would go back....my advice is go to the bar yourself and vacate your table and drink at the bar to avoid service charges.

Generous portions. Seafood was fresh. Good selection of tapas and very reasonably priced. The waitress, Chelsea was superb - attentive and friendly. Though the live music was entertaining, it was a bit too loud, preventing conversation throughout dinner.

Lovely restaurant. Food is amazing and service was with a big smile, a young lady called Chelsea. We'll definitely be going back

Very good Spanish tapas bar I highly recommend it. Very fresh tapas reasonably priced, excellent sangria and very good hosting by our waiter Magdalena. Will definitely be coming a second and third time 👌

One of my favourite Spanish Restaurants in London! Tasty food & affordable prices.Must try calamari & Spanish Omelette!

The wonderful, aromatic smell of delicious food is felt from the restaurant's doorstep. The food is fresh and simply delicious. It is worth visiting here if only for a drink, because Espresso Martini and Margarita cocktails are the best in the area. I sincerely recommend this restaurant with cozy decor with spectacular ceiling, friendly service with the best bartender and the best food.

Chicken and ham croquettes were ok, a bit on the small side and didn't have any ham in them. Tuna empanadas were not good, they looked great but once bitten into them I found they had no filling inside. Very disappointing as I'd heard good things

Eating at this restaurant was an absolute DELIGHT! The staff were warm, welcoming and attentive throughout the evening. The food was the most delicious food I've eaten a while. Notable favourites were the octopus (served with potato), squid ink paella, seafood paella (see photos) and the monkfish.Honestly, the octopus has changed my life. I can't wait to return to this restaurant to eat it again ♥︎

Beautiful paella and tapas!Service was on point… located in a perfect area as Clapham high street is always buzzing.Will definitely be coming back!
