  “Visited on Saturday with my siblings, partner and friend and what an amazing, cute little place!!! So authentic and the food is honestly incredible. The staff are super friendly and genuinely lovely people. Colombia were playing v Portugal that same night, and use being Portuguese were worried to walk in with our Portugal tops but there was no need to be scared as they were so nice and friendly. Had a bit of banter and wished each other luck before leaving. Honestly rate this place 10/10 for food and service.”

  “Went here for dinner with my husband and had a great time. The service, food and vibes were 10/10. We shared a starter and had a main each and ended up taking food home in some containers. Definitely recommend!!”

  “Delicious, authentic Colombian food. We had empanadas, patacones, tamales, bandeja paisa, sancocho, secos con pescado y carne. Everything was fresh and very tasty. Prices are reasonable for the portion sizes - especially for the weekend options which come with a first and second course! Drinks were very nice too. Between the food and amazing service I felt like I was back in Colombia.”

  “I had a fantastic experience at Donde Carlos. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the bandeja paisa, which was full of flavor and very well prepared definitely one of the best I’ve had. I also tried the guanábana juice, and it was incredibly refreshing and perfectly balanced, not too sweet and very natural tasting. The empanadas were excellent as well crispy on the outside, with a flavorful and well seasoned filling. They were the perfect starter and set the tone for the rest of the meal. A special mention goes to Claudia, our waitress, who was very attentive and friendly throughout our visit. She made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived and was very chatty in a warm and genuine way, which really added to the overall experience. Overall, I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for authentic Colombian food and great service. I will definitely be coming back!”

  “I honestly can’t put into words how amazing this place is! 🇨🇴✨ The food is so authentic, packed with incredible flavours, and the music and atmosphere make you feel like you’ve been transported straight to Colombia for a few hours. The service was just as impressive—Claudia and her team are absolutely wonderful: smiley, friendly, and so much fun. They really made the whole experience special. I also loved how accommodating they are with allergies, plus they offer great options for vegetarians and halal diets too. We’ll definitely be coming back—highly recommend! 💛”

  “Enjoyed every dish, especially the starter ceviche de chicharron and refajo to drink. (Full disclosure: the meal was won on a non related Instagram competition, but as we're St Albans it was a special trip to go there.)”

  “Wow! Me and my husband visited this restaurant on our anniversary on Saturday and it’s been on our mind ever since! We only eat halal and have been wanting to try Colombian food for years and we found a video on TikTok claiming they had halal options. We immediately knew where we wanted to go to mark our anniversary & we did not leave disappointed ! I can name a million times I’ve been to a TikTok recommended restaurant and left disappointed and this was not one of those times!!! The atmosphere was cosy and felt like our families home. The staff were kind and attentive. Although we don’t speak Spanish/quite limited vocabulary, we enjoyed hearing the restaurant full of Spanish speakers! The food - amazing! Home cooked and delicious! We tried the beef empanadas and we were so happy we did !! We had a beef and chicken main each and we shared, and loved both! The chicken and beef were both soft and delicious and the portions filled us up! (Which makes a change!) To everyone in London that is feeling the pinch financially, I know it’s hard to justify eating out nowadays but with this place, it feels like your money is going to a good business, and you will not leave hungry or disappointed! Definitely worth it. We’ve told our whole family in hopes they support. Thank you to our lovely waitress (so sad I didn’t catch her name but we attended on the 04/04). You made our day comfortable and enjoyable thank you! Thank you to the business for having halal options, I’m conscious this is not a necessity for the Colombian market, but you have opened your culture to others now because of it 🙂 wish you all the best!”
