Tziganos

Amazing food & service. Highly recommend the Sangria & seafood Paella... will definitely be returning! Thank you �

This Spanish tapas and Mediterranean restaurant opened up approximately 2-3 years ago and I liked it so much that I visited about 5 times in the space of 6 months...and then, on one occasion, something wasn't quite to my liking. I can't remember which dish it was or whether it was just that my expectations were so high from numerous previous great experiences there. Either way, completely subconsciously, I ended up having along hiatus before returning and with mixed feelings of how it would be, I finally rectified that a couple of weeks ago.

You know how it can be healthy for all relationships to have a bit of space? Well, I think the same goes for those restaurants that you have become too clingy with because it seems space was all I needed to remember all the reasons why I love this place so much.

With a great choice of tapas options, mussels, pizzas and main courses, it can be hard to decide which way to go but I have almost always stuck with tapas as I'm simply too much of a sucker for any meal that allows me to try lots of different flavours and dishes.

And so, we luckily managed to walk in at 8pm on a Friday night with no reservation and bag ourselves the last free table for 2. Close call but seated away, we started ordering and my eyes couldn't get past the garlic bread with chorizo, mozarrela and caramelised shallots. It's a large portion for just one so make sure you keep this in mind for sharing (not that you'll actually want to when you realise how good it tastes). We supplemented this with some padron peppers with a sprinkling of sea salt on top. (You should always have some greens of course) and some delicious fried crispy zucchini.

The gambas al ajilo were cooked well but could have done with a touch more garlic and the chicken wings were bursting with flavour.

Our orders were taken quickly for mains and our food was brought to us at a reasonable time. No one tried to rush us out, which was also nice given how busy they were although we did have to wait a while before anyone offered us dessert menus and eventually, sympathising with how clearly rushed off their feet the waiting staff were, we just asked for the dessert menus ourselves.

I was torn between the Sicilian cannolo, which I had recently eaten a few times on holiday in Italy but eventually, stuck to the concept of "better the devil you know" and their hugely portioned Tiramisu is one delicious devil of a dessert.

Revisiting it after so long made me realised how much delicious great food from a huge menu I had missed out on. I'll definitely return and one of these days, if I can ever resist the tapas, I will try and order the pizzas and paellas, both of which looked fabulous when we were spying on other diners' plates.

Visited on a quiet Thursday evening with work colleagues. Even though the restaurant wasn't full, there was great ambiance. They have different deals each day of the week and Thursdays is 3 Tapas dishes for £25 or 7 Tapas dishes for £50, there are some restrictions but you can still get a very good deal. On the tapas menu is a wide variety of veggie, meaty and fish/seafood options. I split 7 tapas with a colleague and due to extreme hunger, I don't have photos of all 7 dishes but please believe that they were all delicious. I was a little taken aback that the salmon dish only had two chunks of salmon but the courgette and beans underneath were so delicious, that I forgive them. The octopus tentacles were absolutely delectable, great flavour and the perfect texture. Our cauliflower and broccoli could have been a bit more al dente but once again the flavour was amazing and the toasted almonds added a bit of much-needed crunch. Customer service is very friendly, knowledgeable and professional, if you have any questions, Tony will gladly answer you, he has such passion for hospitality and it really shows. The tables are all high tables with the high seats but the seats do have backs on them and rungs to rest your feet so they're not dangling the whole time. If you have mobility issues be aware that the nearest toilet is on the first floor.

On Friday the 13th of October was certainly a night to remember for all the right reasons as I Celebrated my Daughter's 21st birthday with this being a complete surprise for her! This would not have been possible without the assistance of the Manager Antonio being a fantastic host in his organising the tables , allowing balloons to be set up also bringing forward the cake. The Mediterranean mix of Italian and spanish cusine food was beautifully prepared and tasting wonderful and for the great cocktails this all made for a perfect evening. Thank you Antonio .

The best local restaurant in the village. The food is always great. The atmosphere is relaxed. And the staff is unbelievably friendly and helpful. Tony, the owner, glues everyone and everything together with his profeasional, attentive and friendly hospitality and management. We love this place.

My experience at Tziganos was amazing, food was extraordinary from tapas to pastas and pizzas, my table was attended to when needed, after our meal we went to the terrace to continue our drinks which was nice, love the restaurant set up in general. Definitely recommend going.

Really delicious tapas, with dishes I hadn't seen before! The ox cheek on Macaroni cheese was absolutely spectacular!! Such a convenient location as well, just up from the station. Friendly staff and nice wine all adds up for a great meal!
