It's alright.
Nothing exciting. It is a bit bigger then other three nearby Spanish tapas places and does not feel intimate at all.
It is great for bigger parties and birthdays, due to space and pricing but romantic it is not.
For me the highlight was marinated peppers and simple chorizo dish.
I love octopus but this one was very fatty.
Great Place!. Not sure what it's like now but this place served the best paella I have ever tasted! Polite staff, efficient service & excellent food! Friday night were party night & you were always guaranteed a great night of music! Really miss this place!
..... La Rueda on Clapham High Street was the obvious choice for us. We first discovered this restaurant the day I helped my sister move into the area and we wanted something to fill our bellies after a long day of lugging around boxes. Not knowing Clapham very well, on venturing out we were, at first, uninspired by all the usual high street chains. Then we stumbled upon La Rueda . Nothing can really keep an
Recently went for a friends birthday and i have to say i was pleasantly surprised! The atmosphere is electrifying! The food came quickly, as usual it took me a while to filter down my choices and pick one meal, i chose the paella, it was amazing! And what really makes La Rueda special, is the transformation into a club/bar scene at night so you can burn those calories away!
Favourite Spanish restaurant in london. My boyfriend is Spanish and loves everything. Great tapas selection overall.
I used to go to this restaurant all the time when I used to live in Clapham and loved it. I went back and I have to say the food isn’t quite the same as a few years ago. Service was great and the ambience… loved it. The fish paella was tasty but not the best I have ever eaten.
The amount of effort put into the food is outstanding! Like genuinely.
The food takes a bit long but to make good food it has got to take time also the cooks there are very decorative with food 🍱.
Gave me a Spanish vibe, everything thing/one was Spanish like the music the food and people. It set the vibe.
Liked the decor. Huge portions are served as tapas. So we realised we have ordered twice as much food when they arrived. Aubergine tapas was my favourite
A hidden gem of a restaurant with great ambience and tasty tapas! Went here on a Thursday evening and it wasn’t too busy so food and service was very quick. Staff were courteous and the paella was flavoursome and reminded me of Spain! Definitely recommend the Gambas Pil Pil, as well as the meat platter if you’re looking to share! Do expect to splash out a little bit though; it is tapas at the end of the day, but what a treat it went down!
This was the first time I'd been here. The staff were kind and attentive but not invasive. The portions of food were HUGE but they very kindly provided takeaway boxes for leftovers. The seafood paella was exquisite.
Wordless… authentic Spanish food, tasty and good prices, we loved the sangria, we had few jugs! The staff is absolutely amazing, definitely a place to visit, and the decoration is very nice too.

Birthday Sunday Night Out. We couldn’t choose a right place for a while, as it should be Gluten and corn free, less diary etc. Week by week we checked places… and then we decided to stay local and find something around. And YAY, @larueda_clapham was chosen for this special occasion.We were the first who came into restaurant, calm spanish music, dimmed lights, friendly waitresses in a shiny white shirt. We had a right to choose a table, sat down, got a menu… plenty of tapas-veggie,seafood or meat ones! Great selection of main course and -Thanks GOD-paella menu!!! Food arrived quick, we requested-as it comes- as 3 of us wanted to share and keep eating!When tapas and mains were eaten we were waiting for the star dish of this night!Paella!!!
The portion is for 2ppl, BUT if You have some tapas before-You will ask for TA as I did😅That dish could be eaten by 3-4 persons easily!Desserts were Yummy! Churros isn’t my thing, but Creme Brulee and Granny’s cake were delish!
Great service, attentive staff, fingers licking food… what else do You need for a birthday dinner!
Will defo recommend to try Octopus as a main, baby squids, Mediterranean Prawns, Tuna Empanadas and of course paella!
Wouldn’t go for cheese plates, as You can get Manchego from Aldi for £3 rather then 6 slices for £10+SC.
I do recommend the tortilla de patata (Spanish omelette) and the chorizos (pork sausages), both delicious! And the waitress, Maria, was really kind and helpful all the time 😊
Authentic and delicious. Extremely friendly waiter and kitchen staff. The tapas was very good, I recommend the baby squid and gambas al pil pil. The squid ink paella is excellent too. Gluten free options are clearly marked on the menu and there's a big variety of dishes to choose from. Sangria also quite nice.
The only thing let down by was the one poor waiter having to serve more than 20 people across 8+ tables so service wasn't as quick as it could've been. Hopefully, management will hire someone else to help him.
Incredible for Spanish food in London. Chef's octopus was incredible. Sangria, not so much (it wasn't bad, but I've had a lot better).
A bit disappointed in the poor selection of beers (mainly almost none available except for alcohol free, probably a temporary supply issue).
Friendly staf (although they seemed a bit short staffed last time).
