If you like a lively noisy place, this is for you! The food is ok. Very dark in there but service was great.

They have a really annoying sound when food is ready to be taken to a table. It’s a very loud doorbell! Just not really appropriate for the small restaurant. Everything else is lovely. But they should really change that loud doorbell!

Was great. Nice amount t of space good food friendly service. It was Friday night so was loud (too loud for our big group) and we ordered some dishes that never showed up but they were apologetic about. Was a lovely evening

Amazing night at Tapajax. Food is consistently brilliant, along with the service. They've started music on Saturdays in a non-intrusive way that allows you to enjoy your meal but also feel like you're involved. Can't wait to get down to their Balham one also!

Wow this has got to be the worst service I’ve ever experienced in any restaurant. Firstly they sat us down at a table, we had a drink and then after 30 minutes they told us we needed to move and sit at the bar….? We didn’t mind, and moved. We then got told we need to cramp together more because they want to fit two more people in. Oh it gets worse as well… Waited 30 minutes to be served a menu so we could order. The food took over an hour to come, they served my friends food and I had had nothing to eat. After constant complaining I eventually said at 1hr 20 in that they can leave it, it was too late for me to eat now. The bartender then brought the bill, in which I asked him if he had taken the food off which he continued to shout arrogantly at me saying “what food” “it’s not on there I’ve already taken it off” - I was just checking… I then said to him to not speak to me like that, he got aggressive with me and ended up telling me to F*ck off and pay my bill, and threw the receipt on my table….. I pulled him up for a 1 on 1 chat, it turns out he is also the manager!!! I could tell he was stressed as many other customers were kicking off but he should always remain professional. We all have difficult moments at work it’s how you react to them that counts. Being rude to customers isn’t it, if he had been apologetic and sincere I would maybe come back to this place and given it another go. I have never been swore at or had receipts thrown at me but there’s a first time for everything eh!

The first time that we visited the service was good. The owner/brothers were there. This time. it was clear they were short staffed. Tables were left uncleared and even though staff were still serving tables they went back empty handed rather that removing finished plates. When we left and walked through the restaurant, all the tables had dirty dishes. Perhaps the owners should be there nore often? Don't go it you expect good service.

Food was ok. Staff were nice but not very experienced, very slow service and have to keep chasing down your food/drinks. Loud music and customers. Ok got a cheap meal with friends.

The staff at Tapajax is amazingly polite, offered wonderful service and was incredibly kind. Food wise, the grilled octopus was a 12/10! Otherwise pretty standard tapas. Great for a date night!

Tapajax offers just the right combination of Spanish tapas in a relaxed, local vibe. The octopus and Iberian ham were excellent choices. The chili and garlic prawns were in a delicious “have-to-dip-your-bread oil.” Definitely works with an ice cold beer to wash it all down.
