Zingara - Carta

Thought we would pop in for a few cocktails over the bank holiday weekend.

Last night after an amazing trip to the Greenwich Union (see my previous review) I met up with my best pal from my childhood to celebrate his birthday with

Food average Rude manager But worse of all they over charge you! Add it up yourself as they over charge but like £30/40 when you question it manager gets annoyed Over priced I think they overcharged on purpose hoping you don’t check very shady Check your bill before you pay Ver carta

Overall, the experience at Zingara restaurant in Bexleyheath was mixed. The starters were reportedly amazing, but the main dish of Seafood Linguine was only average. The atmosphere of the restaurant was described as alright, but it seemed quite dead for a place that also offered dancing. But the service was really great, the waitstaff was very attentive and friendly

This restaurant is a fantastic spot for cocktails with a great atmosphere! It's always busy on weekends, making it a perfect place to chill with friends. I haven't tried the food here yet, but the bar queue can be a bit long - but definitely worth the wait. The lovely interior gives off a vacation vibe and the clientele dress to impress, so make sure to put on your best outfit when coming here. This is not a casual spot, so be prepared to dress up!

We had a fantastic time at this restaurant after a meal! The staff were very welcoming and the cocktails were delicious. Despite my mobility issues at the age of 74, my daughter convinced me to join her on the dancefloor when the DJ started playing music from the 80's and 90's. As we were leaving, a bouncer escorted us out, clearing a path through the crowd. It made me feel like royalty! Thank you for a memorable night - it was the best in years! And I must mention the incredible lady who could twerk one cheek at a time - truly impressive! Ver carta

Bouncer racist and homophobic towards one member of our group. She was wearing grey trainers and would not let her in then our friend had a flat pair of shoes closed in at the toes with her so she put them on and the bouncer was following her and called manager over and then was told she couldn't wear them due to health and safety by the manager so strange as most of the girls we was with had flip flops on and flat open toe shoes but that weren't against health and safety. Would never go here again as the bouncer was rude racist and homophobic towards our friend.

Been here many times but won’t return as the music is SO SO SO LOUD in the restaurant and even when you ask to turn it down it seems they do the opposite. Strange! Trying to speak to the waitress was also impossible for both her and us, so good luck if you want to ask something about your bill. Maybe the plan is to make you scream so loud at each other that you need more drinks for the effort. It would be ok once you’re at the point you just want a dance but if you want a conversation on any level, go elsewhere first. Shame as it’s an easy fix but they seem unwilling.

I 've been to this restaurant a few times. After the 1st time I couldn 't wait to go back. Unfortunately we were one of only a few 2 seating tables that night bang in the middle of tables for 6+ people. A mix of hen parties and other large groups dominated the room. Even the loud music didn 't drown it out. I get that large groups generally mean they get a lot more money, but it 's just not 'couple friendly '. The most recent visit (Sept 2022) we brought a friend and I very specifically asked if we could sit somewhere quiet. It was basically the exact opposite once again. SUCH a shame as the food is very good. That said, I was hugely dissapointed they change one of the potato tapas, not as g... Ver carta
