We had an amazing time at pachamama! We went for a birthday celebration for my dad. The host on the door was amazing and the waiters were also exceptional with their suggestions and patience as we made some changes in what we wanted to order. The food was incredible we loved the sharing concept, it was plenty of food and so enjoyable to get to enjoy each dish together. And the cherry on top was the personalised card they gave my dad for his birthday. They were so sweet and lovely. The quality of the food wa spectacular while also not breaking the bank too much. We had the best time.

We had a nice light meal here. A few sharing plates between us. Everything was very nice and the ham was especially good. Also I was very impresssed with the DA VERO BIOLOGICO, DOC (NERO d'AVOLA) SICILY, which was one of the cheaper red wine options, but hit the spot.

The restaurant had a nice atmosphere and the truffle pasta and cocktails were nice. We ordered the prawn linguine but it was too spicy and we couldn’t eat it. It would be better to advice that this plate is spicy when it is being ordered as it wasn’t indicated in the menu. We also mentioned that to the waiter and they didn’t change the plate or even do a gesture even if the dish couldn’t be eaten.
