   I had high expectations for this place but, having been to other tapas restaurants, I left quite disappointed. Really small portions - we ordered a few bits and pieces with the chorizo being the star of the show. We expected to particularly enjoy that, which we did, but seeing 6 tiny pieces of chorizo come to the table was incredibly underwhelming, nevermind the fact that this was priced at £10.90. Absolute rip off. Patatas bravas were too salty, you literally had to shake the salt off, and the saltiness was just overpowering. The croquettes were brilliant. Drinks were forgotten for a good while, we'd eaten most of our tapas before we managed to get a drink. Service acknowledged this and was quite apologetic which was nice but I wouldn't go back.

   We have been here a few times now and our favourite thing is the aubergines and the marinated anchovies. We had a botifarra sausage dish with beans but the beans were not cooked enough. The aubergines with molasses were iconic as always. The tortilla de patatas got mixed reviews (no onions or seasoned enough). The girls loved the two desserts although one of them noticed that the basque cheesecake was a New York cheesecake not a basque one - indeed. The girls also love their drinks. The atmosphere is banging and because it’s a small place it gets very cosy.

   Had food poisoning the day after having dinner at Bravas. Be careful:( croquettes were the only nice dish that we ordered. Tortillas were precut and set aside so it tasted like it was taken out of a fridge. Calamaris are rubbery. Morcon iberico you can’t go wrong in slicing. Red shrimps were not fresh and mushy. We thought the star of the show would be the grilled iberico pork, it came out more rare than medium rare. We kindly asked the staff out of curiosity if that was ok to consume and she rudely side eyed us while complaining to other employees. This is also the most possible cause of my food poisoning that happened the afternoon on next day, with fever and vomiting.

   As a Malaysia myself, I rarely get to find any Spanish food let alone good & authentic Spanish food. But this place really takes the cake! One of the best and most authentic Spanish food you can find around! Love it so much. My family and I had a very pleasant experience here that we love to come back here again whenever we’re coming to the UK again.

   Several friends have been telling us to book ourselves into Bravas. We finally went tonight, and what a delight! Every dish was so good that we could hardly choose a favorite. Loved them all! The spring onion/leek special was a surprise favorite for sure, as well as the aubergine and anchovies. And the pear w/passion fruit! We can't wait to go back!

   Highly recommending everyone to give this restaurant a try! Love how they have chef made menu on the board which they change it often to keep their customer guessing and coming to try them out. Remember to go a bit early as seats get filled quickly!

   Service was efficient and friendly, even at the busiest time. Food was not consistently excellent. Some dishes were great so we ordered again and then second time around cooked to a lower standard. "Red prawns" were not red prawns just standard large prawns. Patata bravas were a nice version and tasty authentic sauce.

   Tapas works well when the venue is busy and bustling with drinkers and diners and this place is exactly that. Exceptional food, wine and service. Highly rated this well organised kitchen and venue.
