About this restaurant

Finding a good independent restaurant in London can be difficult, but one of our Islington favourites is the Sangria Tapas Bar. Located just a short way from the Angel tube station on the busy Upper Street, Sangria is a hidden gem tucked away amongst the many bars and eateries that shout much louder for your attention. The small but comfortable main dining room of Sangria takes its cue from its Iberian forebears, maintaining a simple, rustic charm in the classic, unfussy décor and sturdy, basic furnishings, colour added by large prints and splashes of red paint on feature walls. The menu here is very typical of true Spanish tapas joints, providing a wide selection of small sharing dishes with plenty of seafood, cured meats, trademark paellas and other choices suited to laid back dining accompanied by, perhaps, a drink or two from the bar which serves Spanish wines and beers and, of course, the red wine cocktail that gives the restaurant its name.

Service a bit rushed and inefficient, food ok but not the best Spanish food I've eaten in London. Good choice of tapas, cocktail offers mid-week are good.

Excellent venue for big groups. Good selection of food that can suit all tastes, and appropriate for sharing. Ambiance is good for chatting - not too loud, but music and full of people on a Thursday evening so it felt like there was an atmosphere. Would recommend for big groups looking for a fun evening out.

Never been to this restaurant before but booked it as was an easy location for the group. Would defintely go there again -food was excellent and service was very friendly. The wine was questionable but maybe that was our fault for not doing the obvious and having sangria!

This is a great place to bring a big group of mates. Tapas was reasonable priced and the selection is big. I had a few friends who were vegetarians and there were quite few selections for them.

We ate at Sangria in London. Our meal was fine (garlic bread, calamari and chick pea stew). The drinks were small and mostly ice and there was a terrible draught from the door each time it opened.

We ate at Sangria in London. Service was slow - the couple on the next table left after 20 minutes as their order hadn't been taken. One of our dishes was incorrect but the food and sangria were delicious.
