Halal Reviews for Donostia Marble Arch

My husband and I took a two week trip to Europe (London, Copenhagen, and Paris) and ate our way through each wonderful city. We had many delicious meals along the way. Our meal at Donostia was one of our favorites. The meal was delicious. We had the Jamon croquetas, Jabugo, Ensalada, Rubia, and the Basque Cheesecake. We LOVED the cheesecake. It was the BEST cheesecake I have ever eaten. It may be the best dessert I have ever eaten. It was the perfect texture: smooth, creamy, not too sweet, and the charred top was the perfect compliment to the cheese. We liked it so much, we went back three nights later for another slice. I will be thinking about that Cheesecake for a very long time. We sat at the bar and had the best view of the kitchen. It was enjoyable to watch the two chefs and see how efficient they were in such a small space. The Head Chef was very patient and kind towards the Sous Chef, who we thought may have been new. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. I hope to return to London soon. We will definitely make a visit back to Donostia when we return.

We've dined here many times over the years an never fail to be impressed and have a great meal. The staff are great and extremely knowledgeable. The food is always amazing. You must always order the tortilla because it's the best one you can have anywhere in London.

The Spanish tapas here are absolutely delicious! The cheesecake was so good it completely destroyed my “keep fit” plan—I couldn’t stop myself from devouring it. Every single dish was full of flavor and brought me right back to my time in Spain. The only downside? The basement vibe isn’t the coziest and the chairs weren’t very comfortable. Also, the server accidentally tried to charge us twice—but honestly, the food was so good I almost didn’t care! Plus, the staff are actually Spanish, which made the experience feel even more authentic. Strongly recommend! Just… next time, pretty please let me sit at one of the nice ground floor tables. Gracias!
