“We had lunch at Arros QD this afternoon and it was immense. Here's what we had: jamon iberico, olive oil coca bread, burrata, crab insalata, shetland king scallops, galician blonde fillet and the paella valenciana. We also had a couple of beginner items (pictured) which were sublime. The service was excellent and the atmosphere conducive to the situation. Honestly. Go here. You won't regret it.”

“As a Valencian living in London, I can honestly say this is one of the best paellas I’ve ever had in my life. The quality of the ingredients, the authentic flavors, and the way it was cooked were simply outstanding. A special mention goes to Luis, our waiter, who made the whole experience even more memorable. He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. His excellent service and genuine kindness truly elevated our visit. If you’re looking for authentic Spanish food and exceptional hospitality, I couldn’t recommend this place more. We’ll definitely be coming back!”

“That place is really good . I would even say fantastic , maybe one of my favourite restaurant in london at the moment . Arros in Spanish means rice , so all the rice dishes ( paella style ) are cooked on wood fire and they are absolutely superb . Very good wine list too . I really enjoyed returning to this place . Standard remain high . If you are visiting london , this Spanish place is a must .”

“How wonderful!!! I took my friend for his birthday because I was looking for something different and that’s exactly what we got for an amazing price. The waiters, even the person on the phone who was jolly when I said I’ll be late, were all happy and still full of energy late at night. There was a mix up with the drinks order and they were so quick to resolve it and offered us drinks on the house as an apology, how lovely of them! They checked up on if we enjoyed the food and one waiter put some tomato jelly on my plate when I asked what it was. It was incredible tasting something something like that, reminded me of Willy Wonka’s factory where you have gum that tastes like a meal 😂 What really shone was I don’t eat pork which is in the steak paella as broth and they went out of their way to make a pork-free meat broth for us!! The paella and blonde steak were outstanding, the rice grains were of excellent quality and packed with flavour and I’m still dreaming of the bark on the steak. The portion is perfect for 2 people and they give way more meat than you think. It’s so worth it and so delicious. To top it off, they gave a huge happy birthday plate and candle and they made sure if we did or didn’t drink alcohol so they can adjust dessert. At the end, one of the waiters took time to explain some Spanish grammar that my friend asked about 😂 Everyone was friendly, everything was delicious and it was a wonderful end of a birthday. Thank you Arros, we’ll be back!!”

“Absolutely incredible experience. The food was so amazing that I genuinely can’t even describe it—every dish was bursting with flavor and exceeded all expectations. On top of that, Lamas customer service was exceptional. He was warm, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. His professionalism and friendly attitude made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Amazing food, amazing service, and an unforgettable visit. Highly recommend and will be back for Lamas!”

“Here’s a short, punchy version: We visited Arros mainly for the steak, which looked incredible, but sadly it really disappointed. For a cut priced at £125 per kg, I expected far better ours was full of fat and nowhere near the quality the price suggests. What made it worse was that the staff initially tried to justify it, although to their credit, once we pushed back they handled it well, adjusted the bill and offered us a complimentary cheesecake, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, the wider issue was value for money. Across the menu, portions were small and prices felt massively inflated for food that was nice, but not exceptional enough to justify the cost. Overall, a disappointing experience and sadly not somewhere I’d return to.”

“Flavour and presentation of food is amazing. I can see the quality of meat and fish is higher, but the way they mix the salad dropping it on the table is a bit annoying to wait for another waiter to clean it. Also we ordered two glasses of red wine and two of white. The second red glass was different flavour of first, probably they use the spare wine opened with different cheap brand? I reccomend to show to the guests the wine that they choose to don't loose the credebility”

“Really lovely restaurant. The open kitchen is a nice touch so you can see the wood fire. The service was excellent. They talked us through the menu and each dish that we ordered. It was easy to get someone’s attention when we wanted to order or get the bill. We ordered tuna tataki, Galician blonde fillet, paella Valenciana and Basque cheesecake. The steak was beautifully cooked. The paella was so flavourful with crispy rice on the bottom. I definitely recommend this place. The rice dishes are definitely the star of the show. It was the best paella I’ve had in London. Thank you for a lovely meal, Arros QD!”
