Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Poor service and variable quality of cooking

Oct 2021 • friends

We were a table of 10 in an otherwise empty restaurant. A variety of starters all arrived at different times. There was NO coordination by management and kitchen staff (in sight of the diners) to serve everyone at the same time. Some of the starters were cold so there was no excuse. The cost of Hummus was £7.00 per portion and over large. They could reduce the portion size substantially and charge half the price and no one would complain. Some starters that were warm arrived cold. They were very disorganized. At no time during the evening did Management engage with us to ask how things were (almost a given in any eating establishment nowadays). No apologies for their poor service. We were basically the only diners there so they couldn't say they were too busy. The very young waiter was completely out of his depth failing to appreciate how disappointed we all were. The main courses which were naturally expensive because of the Kosher requirement were so slow in being brought to us it was painful. Burgers were only being grilled MEDIUM but arrived very undercooked in the middle and had to be sent back. A couple of dishes were served at the correct temperature and tasted fine. All mediocre desserts were £7.00 each. Well overpriced considering the type of restaurant which has no modern decor or specific redeeming features. No one ordered a dessert from our group. Coffee was served badly. Two filter coffees were served in espresso cups and had to be sent back for a correct serving size. They were just prepared from a push button machine. When they arrived they were lukewarm. We had to order extra hour water to make them drinkable. Again nothing from management - really poor service. The owners ought to seriously reconsider their approach to customers. It's not enough to serve Kosher meat at very high prices and think that's all there is to running a restaurant. Staff need retraining and management need to listen to customers. I will not be recommending this restaurant to anyone and will be suggesting they go anywhere else.

Reliably good

Dec 2019 • none

Refurbished and relaunched this traditionally good barbeque grill. The food is lovely. The meat is very well cooked and tasty. Salads are disappointing - basically a bowl of lettuce with a tomato and onion and a ridiculous shaving of carrot. Chip portions are very small. A shame to cut corners on these sides when the meat is reliably excellent.

A most amazing experience!

Jul 2021 • solo

Ordered a burger with vegetables. Wow! Everything was excellent including the service. Although, I did have to wait a while, it was worth every minute. I have to say, this was without any doubt the best and tastiest burger I have ever eaten! My only question to the chef is, "How did you do it?!" This was actually my birthday treat and I'm delighted I chose to celebrate it here in la fiesta. My recommendation to everyone is this; don't bother with any of the other kosher meat restaurants locally. This is the best. I am proud that I can honestly say that here in London there's a great kosher meat restaurant. If I may add, and worthy of all that it represents.

Overpriced and disappointing

May 2022 • none

I know kosher food is expensive but La Fiesta is totally overpriced for what it is. I don't mind paying for a smart restaurant, good food and good service but you don't get that at La Fiesta. The furnishings are very basic, the servers struggled to understand what we wanted. and service was incredibly slow (surprising as the restaurant was very quiet). We paid a lot of money and received a slab of meat that had just been grilled, with no sauce or vegetables. The price of side orders was excessive. Everyone's order was piled up in the middle of the table and we were given plates and told to help ourselves. There was a small side salad and when we asked for sauce we got a very small dish of mustard and ketchup. The steak was pretty tasteless and needed mustard to make it edible. We paid £50 a head and came away hungry. I struggle to understand why diners are prepared to pay this much for such poor standards.

A Meat Lovers Paradise

Jul 2022 • none

OH this was awesome, a meat lovers Paradise. The real deal, any Argentine or Brazilian would be delighted to eat here. All the meat was delicious, in my opinion the best kosher meat meal in NW London. The chips were perfect. The burger was a masterpiece of culinary work. A word of caution though the sharing platter for 2 could easily fill 4 people, so be prepared to take some home and enjoy again.

Inconsistent. Sometimes excellent. Sometimes awful.

Sept 2024 • friends

I’ve been to this restaurant on multiple occasions in the past six months. Sure of those visits have been with friends, some with family. Some have been from the menu and others special meals off-menu. When they get it right the food is out of this world. I’ve had his steaks and lamb that have been insanely good. Meat as good as the best meat restaurants I’ve frequented over the years. He clearly knows how to cook meat. However on other occasions the food has been bad including overcooked and on one occasion the meat was off. Waiters are generally clueless kids. Service is very slow even when the food is good. They make no allowances for allergies. The wine menu isn’t great but thankfully they permit BYOB (sometimes with / without corkage fee). The chef has always been nice to me personally…

Please don’t visit this restaurant. There are more restaurants and steak worth your money. The food is also terrible.

Highly priced, bad food and poor service. The bun of the burger I ordered was frozen! Disgraceful! Don’t recommend.

Oct 2020 • solo

The owner is a sly, manipulative peace of work. He’s verbally abusive towards his workers and doesn’t pay them properly if they get paid at all! Hence why there’s such a huge staff turnover. The food comes out of the freezer and is mediocre at best. Everything gets put in the microwave before leaving the kitchen as well. Stay away from this restaurant!

Great food, decent service!

Nov 2020 • none

We have been here several times over the last year and are never disappointed. The food is consistently good and cooked as ordered and the staff is pleasant and efficient. It is always money well spent. Wanting to support this excellent restaurant during Covid lockdown, we ordered a meal for two for delivery on 29 November. It was excellent. De.ivered on time, expertly wrapped, fresh, piping hot and just absolutely delicious. Fove stars! Thank you La Fiesta!

delicious food and impressive service

Nov 2019 • none

visited this restaurant recently with my father. unfortunately the meat was not as perfect as usual, however the chef offered to prepare another one on the spot with zero fuss. Very impressive service and of course the meal did not at all disapoint.
