Stunning. Absolutely delicious. Chicken wings were outstanding, but also the rest very good. Almost everything gluten free, unfortunately sandwiches are potentially a source of contamination - but they seem to have everything under control.

Told the waitress that I was celiac when I ordered but I think she didn’t give that information to the chefs. Had a seat right at the counter and I could see that the chefs did not change their gloves after touching the burger buns, which are not gluten free. Didn’t really feel safe so I double checked with another waiter. He was friendly and caring. He went into the kitchen to tell the chefs to change their gloves when preparing my order, which they did. Did not get sick afterwards, but probably will not be back.

Incredible fried chicken restaurant in the centre of Carnaby. Latin American flavours pack a punch. All the fried chicken and also the chips are gluten free 100% safe, and a number of the starters and sides are too including arepas. Guava glazed wings, Yuca fries and 'spicy & cheese'chicken are all fantastic. Vegetarian options including glazed cauliflower. Great cocktails and a gluten free beer too. My parter is coeliac and we've been here 5 times so far.
