Went there with a group of friends 2 weekends ago for the first time based on the reviews on eatability. Our dining experience turned out to be average. They got the order wrong when we have specifically told them that we don't want shellfish on the paella due to allergies, paella turned up with vongole! The taste of the food was average and service was acceptable but not great.

Went on a Tuesday night when they were having a Family Meals promotion, cooking the food of the El Bulli chef - from his recipe book. This ended up being a really special night, fantastic to try something that's simply not available in any other Sydney restaurant. It certainly wasn't tapas that night, so be warned (I've been before and loved the tapas and the packed-out vibe) but every Tuesday night I find myself thinking I should go there again!

Lovely place, good food, just a little bit pricy for my wallet but overall very good venue.

Great restaurant with very friendly staff and quality tapas. Food highlights were potato and onion omelette, chorizo croquette and the churros! Fun and relaxed atmosphere too.

The food was very bland. I'm here from the states where I'm used to tapas being very flavorful. I wouldn't go here again.

So food was great, very delicious - some of the better tapas I've had. Ambience was great, great for gatherings of small or large people. Service was pretty good, although the waitress could not speak great english. The value for money wasn't great, however, since the food was so great its definitely worth paying for. approx $30 a head for two people, possibly less with more people.

The tapas were really lovely and nicer than most places I have had them. Great Paella, really full of flavour and generous. Was overall very impressed with the food and think tha tapas are much better than most Tapas bars I have been to. Would definitely recommend and revisit.

Went for a late sitting on Friday night with a group of 7 and was very impressed with the authenticity of the flavours. It is actually the best traditional Spanish food I've had in Australia. I would definitely return for the paella, the garlic prawns and the patatas bravas. And there is so much more I'd like to try on the menu! The Spanish Cabernet Sauvignon / Tempranillo is worth a try as well.

We love Kika! My partner and I live nearby and it is one of our favourite places to eat when we feel like a splurge. Although the final bill is a little pricey for dish sizing they have some super stunner dishes. The egg on thinly cut french fries is super yummy, the egg oozes over the chips in a nice dressing. The pear and chorizo skewers are very yummy. As are the garlic prawns. Their potato bravas are tasty, but not sizeable enough for the price tag. The churros for desert is spectacular and their sangria... yum! The waiters are super friendly and the food is fairly prompt.

I love this place! The staff are always friendly and fun and the food is reliably delicious! Always a great vibe, especially on the weekends, easy to enjoy the Darlo buzz! Try the Churros!
