Iberian Connections in Tower Hamlets

Delicious Spanish food in a well designed restaurant for a bit expensive price.We've tried several different tapas, the olives were brilliant, the meat and cheese board was good but not exceptional, the tomato bread was really tasty too. The padron peppers, the octopus and the crispy aubergine is a must to try.Also for desserts the churros and the flan was a perfect ending for our dinner, it was perfect.For all this plus for 3 glass of wine and 3 negroni we've paid 150 £, which is okay but honestly we weren't full after all these foods, the portions are not very big since they're tapas.The service was good, although I felt they are a bit overwhelmed and we had to chase them sometimes.

Lunch meal that was on the higher end of the price range totalling ~£77 for 2 (no alcohol).Tapas was generally good, but the Paella which I expect to be their signature dish given one of the most expensive dishes was burnt.Mid tier rating, it satisfied our hunger but wouldn't necessarily be the first on recommendations.

Amazing service Paola and Joan such an amazing experience that brought me and my husband back to Spain definitely coming back as a future recommendation los pimientos de padrón a bit spice next time.Loved the octopus and the paella if you want to have a nice time you should definitely come here :)

Ambiance - Really niceService - ExcellentFood - Paella was toooooo saltyDessert - small portion. Chocolate one was yummy. Rice pudding was OK.

Not coming back EVER.We always loved it previous times and were excited to show it for our friends. But never again.Mainly the waitress a Romanian girl who otherwise was lovely, completely forgot one of our mains even though we clearly said “a paella for four or if not, just 2paellas of 2”.She served the first one to which one we asked if that was 2 or 4people size, she said it was a 2ppl size as is the only measure they have, to what we answer “cool so the other one is coming?” And she said yes…. NO, it wasn’t.My partner seeing the confusion try to clarify and then came up that no, she just noted one. Order the second one. And there you go, 30min more wait with no compensation I don’t know olives? Or anything.We also got an extra beer we have been charged for, with the 31 service charge that now I’m mad I should have argued because this is ridiculous!!!!NEVER COMING BACK. So upset, only place to enjoy proper Spanish food but if they treat customers like this…. Is not worth it!

Lovely place and location ..well designed ,clean and staff very welcoming and friendly.Food is really good , authentic Spanish food for sure ...the only think we didn't enjoy so much was the sangria unfortunately..too bitter and orangy and full of ice .. couldn't smell or taste peaches or cinnamon or the wine.

Tortillas were just ok, missing taste and a bit dry. Patatras bravas were good, croquetas as well. Polpo was on point, perfectly cooked, tender, not chewy at all. Mussels with sobrasada sauce were good but not exceptional. Crispy chicken and lamb were good, but could be more flavoured. Good Spanish wine selection. Not our first time here, we would come back. Quality is quite consistent.

Food was alright, a bit pricey compare with the quality. Service was good. There are definitely some better options for tapas if you are in London.

TLDR; delicious food but let down by being understaffed and a tad on the expensive sideThe food here is undoubted delicious. The Pluma Iberica did not disappoint and the twice cooked lamb was also amazingly rich and flavourful. Their pardon peppers were consistently spicy which was a very pleasant surprise as I’ve heard only 1 in 10 are suppose to be hot!In terms of food, the only let down was the churros. It was thin, bland and the chocolate sauce was way too runny. Steer away!An otherwise great experience was diminished by the atmosphere and slow service. The interior was designed like a pub, in fact I suspect this building used to be a pub. This means that loud conversations are amplified and reverberated across the restaurant.The table service was brilliant but slow. The poor lady had to tend to 7+ tables all by herself for the majority of the evening. We had to wait almost 30mins for our beers and ask multiple times. The food arrived first and was getting cold . Our waitress did an amazing job but the place is definitely under staffed.Finally, it’s a tad on the expensive side. For the 2 of us, beers and 7 dishes came to just shy of £85.

Always great. Been here a few times, the octopus probably the best dish! Decided to give the steak a try and was very happy with it too. Friendly staff, great service.
