A Toca - Lambeth

My cod was burnt and took a long time to be ready and I complained to the owner of the restaurant and he said that next time it would be better but I don't intend to go back there I wasn't treated well!

Friendly service and generous portion of seafood rice (which can be taken away if you can’t finish it). The restaurant has a homely atmosphere. There are cod and prawn croquettes that can be requested off menu.

Great atmosphere, delicious food, fabulous service Always an excellent experience have been visiting for over 15 years.

The food was bland.the clams were chewy.the polvo was dry.pota? The bread was also chewy.i live quite far and this time it was an awful experience.i was served by a Brazilian waiter.he was quite attentive.hence.i left £10 cash tip.but overall it was dreadfull.being Portuguese I expect the food to be of the finest quality.not so.this time.very disappointed. As I have been coming to this rest.for a few years .this time awfull. I'm in the hospitality branch.so it's rather sad to get so downed quality food.

After a birthday gift show, my daughter and I ate lunch at this restaurant. The food was really excellent but the service was so bad. It was a birthday lunch for the two of us and we were hungry as we had spent the morning at a show. It started off quite well and we were given a table at the back of the restaurant next to a family table of around 10 adults and children, clearly the granny’s birthday and very festive. We ordered starters which arrived duly and then ordered out main meal which was the special of the day. My food came after about 30 minutes but my daughter had to wait over an hour for her meal. My food was getting cold whilst we waited and I did not want to eat alone. I shared my meal with her and by the time her food came she was no longer hungry . We kept asking the waiters for our food but the waiter was only interested in The Family table. He appeared to have had a few drinks himself! We complained politely. There was no apology and not even an offer of any kind. We did order desert as well but I feel the service was almost rude. Of course we don’t want anything for nothing but an offer of a desert or drink would have have softened the experience. After all it was my daughter’s birthday and I wanted things to go smoothly. Such a pity. The restaurant was recommended to us but sadly if it’s service you want, then don’t go there. The food was good but we did not feel nice after the way we were treated.
