Gambas review

Gambas Spanish inspired tapas restaurant is located in one of the old shipping containers on Wapping Wharf. It looks out across the street at the M-Shed. We arrived and took a seat outside. Our waiter presented us with the menu and we ordered some water for the table. When the waiter returned to take our order we had the following: king prawns in chilli and garlic, olives, patatas bravas, boquerinos, Russian crab salad, calamari and baked tortilla with aioli.

So let’s start with the prawns. They where juicy and flavourful but I’d have liked a little more garlic and chilli. Never the less they where nice. Olives are olives. The calamari was really good, they where cooked beautifully. The patatas bravas where delicious. In fact they where the star of the show. Really crunchy and golden brown and lacquered in this beautiful tomato and cheese sauce. Onto the boqueronis. They went down well. The final two dishes where the crab salad and the tortilla. The salad looked like baby food and didn’t taste much better either. The baked tortilla, when it first came to the table I thought it was a quiche! It was a wedge of I honestly don’t know what, served cold with aioli. I began to tuck in and it didn’t taste awful but it didn’t really taste of anything. It tasted interesting but I don’t know if that is good intersecting or bad interesting? 8

Put it this way to make it tase of anything you has to slather it in this garlic mayonnaise. I was expecting something totally different to what I got. I was expecting something new, fresh, tasty, vibrant and exciting. What I got was a cake like wedge of cold stodge!

Overall not what I was expecting but not completely horrendous. I wouldn’t rush back purely because I think you can get more of that authentic Spanish feel elsewhere? I wouldn’t recommend this place either for the same reason. For me this place was just not good
