genuinely the best food i've ever had in my life!…read more i found this by searching up gobi manchurian on google which was the most random find because we were all the way in the city of westminster. it was totally worth the trek there! the ambience of the restaurant is beautiful! i was so excited to be sitting under a gorgeous floral arrangement. the customer service here went above and beyond! they're the sweetest people ever who know how to make the tastiest food in the world. we ordered gobi manchurian, aloo & gobi, chloe curry, and garlic naan. everything was so good that we ordered another round to take back to our hotel. we had it for breakfast and it was still the best food i've ever had. i will literally come back to london just to have bonoo again. it was life changing in the best way possible. i miss it everyday. overall, a must visit when in london! go out of your way to try it and you will be so impressed with the happiest tummy walking out of there.

We got the meatballs arancini balls on pea pesto, papardelle with wild mushrooms, rigatoni with basil pesto burrata and pistachios, and potted tiramisu. The standouts were the aracini, burrata, and tiramisu, but everything was quite good. The arancini were good for what they were but helped a lot by the being paired with pea pesto. I now wish arancini was plated on top of a counter-balancing sauce or food more often. The burrata was just fantastic and combining with pistachios and basil pesto brought the whole dish together in a way that really pushed things beyond the norm. The tiramisu came in a pot with a mint leaf sticking out the top. As with the other standouts, the tiramisu itself was good, but the whole presentation just really nailed things. The mint leaf went beyond decorative to actually boosting the whole dish. They also had a solid wine list and were willing to let us re-cork and take the rest of the bottle back to the hotel.

nice atmosphere, staff was friendly. It was a successful evening. we'll be back. for sure.read more

It's genuinely good though - a tapas place where the food is outstanding and the staff friendly and helpful. The place wouldn't be out of place in Brooklyn with its exposed brick work and long bar and it gets very lively (and quite loud) on weekends. Other nights it's just as good for a slightly quieter dinner and value is great for the high quality.

We sat at the bar and were warmly greeted. It is very cute and cozy inside. Not a ton of tables, and it is a small intimate space, so great for dates or small get togethers. Our bartender was fabulous and helpful. We tried a variety of ports and they were all great. I loved that I could try so many different kinds which I normally don't get the chance to do. We didn't have any food since we had other dinner plans this evening but the tapas looked great and we would certainly try them upon returning.

I went in on a Saturday lunchtime and found the service very efficient without feeling rushed. It was surprisingly quiet, so we forgot about the world around and were able to concentrate on the delicious food. The dishes are in the range of about £3.50 - £5.50 each and they're usually split into 2-3 bits, so can be shared if necessary. I recommend getting bread as well - it's great for soaking up sauces and is nice, soft ciabatta style with tomato sauce to dip it in. Particularly recommended: - deep-fried chicken soaked in garlic - not at all greasy and very tasty - potato with layers of goats cheese, ham and tomato - prawns with scrambled egg and asparagus (much, much taster than it sounds!) The sangria comes with a good amount of fruit in it and at £3 a glass is cheap and plenty enough to last a meal (if you can resist another one, anyway!). All in all a really nice place if you're into tapas and a great introduction if you've never tried it.

My favourites are the selection of cheese, the garlic prawns and the little ham croquettes. Try a jug of sangria with it - it's very well done here and compliments the food greatly. This is a lovely place, decorated in a way inkeeping with the food and very private. The tables are well spaced, so you don't feel cramped or overheard. I like this place for dates or for a meal with a good mate. Always busy, so best to book it unless you've got time to have a drink at the bar first (which is no bad thing here). Go for a great, relaxed meal on one of Oxford's loveliest streets.

It was like watching surgeons work together.....bravo to them all for providing such wonderful service and making each dish a standout. Open air kitchen where the grilling is done counter side. Fresh fish galore (it's on ice within eye view) the fish is selected and grilled based on order. This tapas hot spot should be top on your list of places to eat. Sharing plates is all the lure of these dishes. I have never been a fan of peppers but these grilled padron peppers with oil and sea salt were superb. The ribeye cap was bought to use with a large serving spoon it was beyond tender (yes the spoon was adequate to cut this succulent meat). It took barely any effort to chew since it was so perfectly prepared. The grilled octopus with paprika was the phenomenal. We should have ordered a second serving, it was a real palette teaser. The prawns were a lot of work and extremely hot, they were bought straight out the skillet to table so pack on the patience removing the shell. The mini meatballs along with the grilled squid with ink sauce is a must try when selecting items from the menu. Don't leave without ordering the flan, it was probably the best I ever tasted. Thank you for a memorable birthday dinner, Barrafina gets a 10 out of 10 from me.

Beyond that, the food was a let down. The sharing platters were tiny, the sides were also small and steeply priced. Quality was ok but it didn't make up for the quantity. The seats at the tall table were uncomfortable and the place was hot and humid with little ventilation. There are no toilets in the restauran and you need to pay 1£ to use the ones outside. This was an ok find for a Tuesday night in a pickle, with a big group and no reservation but I won't be coming back anytime soon.
