Truly lovely bright and breezy Spanish restaurant. Very friendly staff and atmosphere. Robust flavours served with a lightness of touch sum up this modern eatery which would be equally suitable for a mid-week business lunch as for a romantic dinner or Sunday lunch en famille.

Cigala is always a pleasant experience. Good service, good food and a friendly atmosphere. I use it for work lunches and it always goes down well.

Went to Cigala for a light tapas lunch and as it was fine, we were able to sit outside. food was nice and light, just right for lunch. They are located on the pedestrianised part of Lambs Conduit street so it's nice and quiet.

Cigala served up some of the best Spanish food I've had in UK. Friendly service and very decent wine list. Surprisingly buzzy atmosphere for a wet Tuesday night. Highly recommended for groups.

good food and great service, kidly changed a bottle of wine that we didn't like - good fun food nicely executed. Although why the cheese had oil poured over it is still a mystery to me!

Simple food, pleasant open space, Cigala is one of the better options in the delightful Lambs Conduit Street 'village'.

We went to Cigala on a group outing for work and were not disappointed - lovely food with a great variety of choice, attentive staff and in a nice atmosphere. Recommend for groups or small business lunches but can imagine it would also be lovely for intimate dining in the evening.

The Cigala has a relaxed easy going atmosphere - we sat outside the restaurant situated in a pedistrian walkway. The hot food was all excellent. What let the restaurant down was the oil they provided to dip the bread in. Would go back.

I love this restaurant - one of my favs in London - particularly when you can sit outside on a sunny day. Lovely.

Going back to Cigala after a couple of years and the place is still delivering. Fantastic summer's evening out with authentic Spanish food - the table next to us had 3 generations of native Spanish family. Short but excellent Spanish wine selection. selection.
