Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Tapajax - Balham offers a lively atmosphere with "amazing food" and "great service." The tapas are praised for their quality, though some find the venue slightly pricey. Enjoy live music and vibrant energy, but note the noise level can be high. A standout dish is the "basque cheesecake."

Booked this “authentic Spanish restaurant” for dinner with my wife on a Saturday night. Turned up to find BOTH floors with a large telly showing the rugby and hoardes of England and South Africa fans watching the game. Waitress tried to show us to our table for two I between groups of people all standing up watching the rugby. Is this a pub? We didn’t stay. Shame, as the food looked ok. This place needs to work out what it is, though.

Really wanted to like this place. However food was just lacking. Really underwhelming. And the scallop ceviche was just not good. Really loud lively place. I think that’s what the focus is on rather than the food. Won’t be rising back unfortunately.
