Escudo de Cuba

Best tapas and cocktails in town ! I highly recommend the croquettes and the chicken skewer, with nachos to share for starter and La Casa Del Amor cocktail to drink :)

Friendly staff, great cocktails, great happy hour and lovely food. We were a big group as it was part of a birthday party and the staff were really helpful and accommodating. Food was great as usual. I will defiantly be back and would recommend this for a fun evening.

Great atmosphere, great drinks, great food, both Tapas and Cuban dishes. Really nice little touches when you arrive and when you pay.One of my favourite restaurants in London!!

Absolutely brilliant! The nachos were truly delicious - don't miss them! The other tapas were presented beautifully, with style, and tons of flavour. I had a really nice Pacifico beer which I enjoyed alot. Service was friendly and kind. I will definitely be back!

The food was delicious - loved the slow-cooked beef and the plantains. Also very well presented. We even got a shot of tequila afterwards on the house. Fully recommend, especially if you’re visiting Arcola Theatre down the road.

Great service and food, busy place but good offer on cocktails while waiting for the food, big side dishes. Tapas were really nice too, very nice

Really lovely food great service lovely people to greet we got our seats straight away even though we were a smaller party than booked. Our drinks came quickly and though we were talking loads and hadn't made a decision on what food we wanted the waitress was absolutely patient with us. My friends first time and we will all definitely be back.

I’ve been here countless times and have always had a good experience? However, can’t help but notice that the prices haves risen, the menu has gotten a lot smaller and the little freebies (shots of tequila with the bill, for example) are no longer a thing :-(

At least my 10th times at Escudo de Cuba ! As usual, food and ambiance were amazing. Definitely my fav place to eat, drink and dance in London !

I really liked the atmosphere at Escudo de Cuba and they were nice to give me a shot on my birthday! Unfortunately, the food was not quite as good as I was expecting and the tres leches cake was not good at all. Will be back for drinks, but not food.

Service was friendly and helpful. Their cocktails were lovely and a good selection. I didn't enjoy that the football was on but can't please everyone! I enjoyed the music, I would go back there for a nice Latin American experience

Wonderful restaurant, friendly staff and delicious food! I will definitely come back here again. Muchos gracias!

Amazing ambiance and lovely staff! The food was also fantastic. My fiancé and I had a really wonderful evening and we’ll be sure to return soon!

Food and staff are excellent. I love the interior too, when you're inside the restaurant, it feels like you're in another part of the world.

Really tasty and fast food. Cocktails were amazing, inside was far too hot on a warm day though as tables were full outside unfortunately. But great!

We left because it took too long to be seen by a waiter. One toilet for more than 30 people there. Poor service and communication by waiters.

They changed menu but kept some favourites so it is still good

Great cocktails. Food is cooked well but needs flavour. Was expecting an explosion of flavours but very bland. Price was average. Nice atmospere. Rustic decor. Would I go again?.....yes for a cocktail or two.

Amazing food and wonderful atmosphere. We went there for our wedding anniversary as we went to Cuba for our honeymoon. The staff are lovely. Very authentic.

The food was incredible and portions were huge. We really loved the atmosphere We can highly recommend the restaurant and can't wait to go back :)

Food was lovely however service was poor. We had to wait over 30 minutes for our drinks to arrive. When food arrived they forgot to bring plates and cutlery, when they brought it over (after having to remind them) they didn't bring me a fork. Other than that the food was brilliant

Amazing food and service Great value for money and really great cocktails as well. Friendly staff and also really flexible with adapting the menu for dietary requirements!

Read some negative Reviews about this place and was hesitant, but would have to say the staff were attentive, friendly, and the food was good. Would go back.

Very good experience. Service was great although they could have been a bit more attentive. The food wasn't bad either! came out cold but tasted great. Thank you.

Arrive before 8pm to get 2 amazing cocktails for 10£, start with the homemade empanadas (veggie, chicken or beef, they all taste delicious). Then make your choice between the 12 tapas and enjoy ! Everything is always perfect at Escudo :)

A great place for drinks. We only had starters. Would 101% recommend!

The restaurant has a very warm, welcolming atmosphere Lovely place great food delicious cocktails! The staff are really lovely and inviting. I have visited many times and I have recommended to others who have also enjoyed it!

The tapas plate is fantastic. The two cocktails for a tenner is a really good deal so make sure you book between 4 and 8

The food, cocktails and atmosphere were all great. There are a few items from the online menu that aren’t on the menu (pork main, desserts, etc.) but there are still good options. Will definitely be going again.

Service was good, friendly and fast; can't fault that. The cocktails were good, especially the "Jalamango Margarita" which had a nice kick to it that went really well with the mango taste. The atmosphere was young and buzzing. The food was mediocre at best. The Octapus tapa was gummy and not nice at all. "Ropa vieja" was too sweet for my liking and a little overcooked. The only saving grace were the "croquettes". Stay away from "cubanisto" beer unless what you really want is fizzy pop.

Beautiful restaurant. Attentive service. Amazing food. Definitely recommend. Very romantic place and very thoughtful. I would very much like to go back and try dessert

We had the tapas and enslaladas. The food was really good food. Great cocktails and good atmosphere. What else could you want from a restaurant....

Great food. Tapas menu is brilliant and the two for one drinks between 4-8 was brilliant. The service was spectacular. Everyone was so accommodating and made sure everyone had a great experience. Will definitely go back.

We always have a great experience here. The food is excellent, cocktails are even better, especially if you make it in time for the two for one! The service is also impeccable. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Amazing restaurant! Generous portion sizes, tasty food & drinks and friendly staff. Would absolutely re visit escudo again to try more of the menu! x

Had a birthday party here of 12 and it was amazing! the staff were very helpful and quick to take orders and were always around for when we needed something. The food was cheap and delicious.

Excellent food, drink and service even though it was a very busy night in the restaurant. I would 100% recommend this place to friends and family.

The staff was very friendly and helpful and the food is to die for. Super tasty and huge portions. We all had a good taste of the cuban hospitality and all the guest were really pleased about the overall experience. Plus the restaurant decoration/atmosphere is great too.

Warm friendly atmosphere and staff. Drinks and food for our party of 9 was impeccable as was the service. Had pre booked thankfully as, on a Saturday evening it was busy which added to the ambience. Definitely will return!

We absolutely loved the environment very cosy, the customer service was very good and the food and the cocktails were amazing. I will come back soon. Thank you so much.

Our first visit to this restaurant proved to be most enjoyable. Food was both interesting and excellent and the portions were particularly large ! Good range of wines and cocktails. Service was efficient and friendly. We would definitely recommend it.

Engagement dinner for 48 people! The restaurant was very accommodating. I ordered in advance what everyone wanted, the staff were really helpful and attentive. Everyone loved the food and left full! Which is saying a lot based on how many people attended. Would definitely use again for a big function!

Amazing food and drinks ,never dissapoints .The place is unbelievable ,the food is very good and the prices are very decent ,and they also have happy hour for ordering drinks

Food is always excellent and the service is good. The staff are always really friendly! The shot on the house was even better. Would recommend.

Friendly service, delicious food and fabulous cocktails. Would recommend the basil and Ginger mojito. We had the tapas selection with sides which was plenty for three.

I went with my family to celebrate my mum's birthday and it was fantastic. The food was filling and tasty. The atmosphere had a nice authentic Cuban feel with the music and the furniture. The people working at the restaurant were friendly and catered to what we wanted with always a smile on their face. Thank you for a lovely time. xxxxxxxxxxxx

Good atmosphere, generous portions of food, nice and relaxed. Clearly a favourite with locals, with many groups coming to soak up the ambiance and enjoy mojitos and more.

The food was amazing. The service was lovely. It gets really busy. The mains portions are big! The free Zambuca shots you get after paying are something else!... the Grey Goose of Zambuca..😋

We were seated straight away. We got happy hour cocktails which were fabulous. Food came quickly and was absolutely delicious! Staff were also very friendly and helpful.

Excellent service, lovely food and drinks and a wonderful afternoon. Had a lovely afternoon with my family who said they would come back again. Thank you for your services.
