What reslic likes about Carmen Tapas:
This charming restaurant has a great atmosphere that is perfect for conversation. We shared the squid ink and prawn paella, which was both delicious and filling. The olives were exceptional and a must-try. View all feedback. What Balham1066 doesn't like about Carmen Tapas:
After a long time we decided to visit this restaurant; Did not have a reservation, so my husband and I was pleased that there was a table available. We was served quickly and so was the food. Food was unfortunately bland, no taste, no flavouring. The sea bass was incredibly tasteless. The so called pasta was rubbery. Jug of sangria was decent enough!!! Price £75.00 (including service charge). Very unlikely, we will b... View all feedback.

This restaurant in Clapham offers a mixed bag of experiences. Some diners found the food bland and lacking in flavor, with disappointing paella dishes. The requirement to provide personal information on an iPad in order to get a table was off-putting for some. However, others enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and tasty tapas dishes like breaded aubergine and squid ink paella. Overall, Carmen's seems to be a decent spot for a casual meal, but there are better tapas options available. The sangria was hit or miss, but the wallet-friendly prices and friendly staff were noted as positives.
