   Once a good place, it now does not care anymore. Staff is rude and careless

   We've been coming to Wahaca for years and always had good service, but this was the first time when we didn't enjoy it. I have an avocado intolerance, which makes it slightly difficult to order, but there are plenty of options on the menu. I've always been able to swap items on the tasting menu to cater my needs, but this was the first time they told me they can't do it. I was then given an allergen list even though it doesn't even include avocado on it, but the waitress claimed she has to give to me. But then she didn't even explain to me what I can order or can't. But luckily I'm familiar with the menu, so knew what I can have. Later the service wasn't great either. We were asked multiple times if we want more drink even though we still had our glasses full. My plate was collected before my boyfriend was finished. The food was good, and generous. But my passionfruit margarita was actually spicy, and I've had it before in other branches and that's not how it's supposed to be. So they either messed up the ingredients or didn't clean the shaker properly. It just all felt very chaotic and unpleasant. I'd recommend going to the Shoreditch brand instead!

   The staff were extremely friendly and the service was fast. I had the belly pork and my husband had the sunshine bowl with chicken. Both really tasty and loads of food. We also had the crispy cauliflower wings which were absolutely gorgeous! I would say the guacamole needed a bit more salt and lime but we still ate the whole lot! Thanks

   I celebrated my birthday there and everyone was really nice, the food selection is great and the cocktails are all super tasty! They allowed me to bring a cake and helped lots with serving and bringing it. The food selection makes it really easy to order a lot of sharables for the table and have everyone try a bit of everything, which feels more special than just a dinner. Our waitress was also amazing and very accomodating. Overall the atmosfere was great!

   Food, drinks and service were excellent. Particularly enjoyed our waiters recommendations of getting some tacos and small plates then sharing the pork belly and aubergine- really lovely mix of flavours. The cocktails hit the spot as well - perfect place to catch up with friends for an evening.

   We were a group of 8 people and had a great meal here, the food was suburb one of the best meals I've had in a Wahaca! It was made even better by our great waiter Georgios, who was efficient, friendly and very knowledgeable regarding what to order for a big group! Cant wait to go back!

   First few plates came out fast, for the last three we had to remind the waiter that they had not come out, after a 25 minute wait. When they did eventually come out two of the dishes were wrong so we had to wait again for them to be made again. The waiter didn’t come near the table or check on us so it was hard to get their attention to tell them what was wrong or we were waiting for. There was no offer to take the last two plates of the bill which I thought they could have done at the least.

   Great food and our waitress was really nice! However, we had to wait very long to order anything and could barely get a hold of our waitress. We almost spent as long of a time waiting for our waitress to come to us as we did on actually enjoying our food… It was also noisy (which is not the restaurants fault really), which was unfortunate since my dad doesn’t have the best hearing…

   We went before a show , restaurant was quiet. Our server was friendly and explained several of the items on the menu which we had not tried before. Food was good as ever and we enjoyed our time in the restaurant. Background music was good.
