Chicama

fantastic food in a lovely restaurant, just the right amount that you didn’t feel over full but packed with flavour

Food was divine and unexpectedly delicious!
Service was overall good although too standard for this type of venue; i.e. takes time to get notice by the busy waiters.

This being said, it’s a place to visit again and again and again...

The food was absolutely delicious! The atmosphere is cosy. Service had a few small mishaps, but generally very friendly and quick on the go!

The food is fantastic, small plates for sharing and the decor and ambience was great. Will definitely be back with others!

Booked on a Sunday and maybe that was the problem?
Had sold out of many things, food and drink.
Pisco sours lovely. Service great.
Canned music a bit loud.
But quite a few things sold out.
Overall quite good was good and interesting BUT
Do not order the mixed seafood at £80. This is not worth it and actually badly over cooked.

My husband and I had an amazing evening. The food was excellent, best meal we have had in a long time. The octopus was fantastic! Service was amazing. The table wasn’t ready when we arrived but they found somewhere for us to sit while we waited and offered us cocktail, we were stunning. The atmosphere is great, quite noisy but in a good way, very buzzy. We will be back very soon!

Loved the tasting menu. Amazing atmosphere and food!

If I had to find a fault, it would be the service a little bit too rushed. We were having the tasting menu and I felt like I was being rushed and not fully savouring every dish.

the food is amazing. The plates are not very big so you will have to order a few options. I highly recommend the monkfish.

Food was great, tasting menu was a good choice to try differently plates.
Service was a bit too slow and there’s not much space between tables.

Lovely restaurant with friendly staff great food and atmosphere

Tasting menu was creative and delicious...highly recommend. Cozy atmosphere, seemingly casual.

Always a great time at Chicama, the food consistently delicious and fresh in a cozy setting that just makes for a fabulous experience.

Great Pisco Sours and the new seafood platter is excellent. DO NOT LEAVE without trying the aubergine.

Possibly the best meal I have ever had. Already recommended to friends

Terrible, waste of £100. Waitress served my pregnant wife a margarita even though she ordered a mocktail. Then our trout (entree) was served nearly raw even though it was supposed to be cooked. When we asked the waitress about the food and expressed our concern with the fish (pregnant women shouldn't be eating undercooked fish or meat), she said it was fine and we should just eat it. I then nibbled at my fish but was completely turned off when I realised mine was even more undercooked then my wife's...It looked like sashimi with only the very outer edge seared. I asked a second time to have both the entrees cooked a bit more and she finally relented, but we got no apology, sorry for the inconvenience etc etc, just an angry stare. Totally unacceptable, whether the fish was supposed to be like that or not (note, I've had this entree about half a dozen times before at Chicama and it was never served like this), the fact that my wife was uncomfortable eating should have been enough reason for the waitress to request that it be cooked a bit more. Never going back despite having some great meals in years past. Service seems to have changed at the restaurant.

Had the £45 tasting menu. Food is quite good but a bit overpriced. A la carte mains are about £15 each and staff suggested at least 3, so don't recommend that option unless ready to get a pricey bill. We were seated in the outdoors area, which was very cold. Overall, I wouldn't go back, feel like you can find much better value elsewhere.

We have a taste for seafood and fish, and we’re comfortable with the idea of sharing plates, so the restaurant’s concept suited us well. We tried the tasting menu and enjoyed every dish on it. Even the black rice was a highlight.

The food was faultless at Chicama. We enjoyed the sea bass ceviche with truffle shavings & the papaya crab salad and the charred cabbage which was a particular highlight!

We felt what let the place down was the service being very rushed; the waiters were very quick to take plates away before we had finished multiple times even though the restaurant was quiet.

Really appreciate the vegetables sides and the marshmallow was delicious.

I’ve been here a few tines before and loved it. I was disappointed this time. Pretty average experience. Waiting staff are aren’t very nice or well trained. Wines are significantly overpriced for average wines as well. Not worth the price

Been here 4 times now. The food is always fantastic and the restaurant has an energetic and friendly feel.

Great food

This was my second time visiting and I was a little bit disappointed. This time I didn't find the food anything special and it is a little pricey for what it is. I do recommend it for a first time visit though. The atmosphere is good and the staff attentive. I am also a bit old fashioned though. I don't think dogs should be allowed in a restaurant at dinner time. It just feels unhygienic.

Our favorite restaurant in London-- and right up the road! The food is off the charts. The atmosphere is gorgeous and lively. Everyone who works there is friendly, fun and very very good at what they do. I almost hate to write this, cause it's hard enough to get in now... just hope it stays in the neighborhood. We love it!

Great food, efficient service, very small tables and music way too loud.

Outstanding food and a great buzzy atmosphere. The food was amazing. The service felt a little rushed at times and drinks were pushed hard

Great find walked past this restaurant too many times interesting menu quality fish well worth a visit you Need To book

Great food and great service. Amazing flavours. Wine superb.

Incredible food and wonderful staff, really really enjoyed our meal and will visit again.

Went on Saturday lunchtime, the setting was cool with a good buzz to it. Some of the dishes were excellent (aubergine, squid, tuna tostadas) but I’m not sure paying £9 for grilled broccoli with a dip was good value for money (and it wasn’t that special).

Great atmosphere, great food - couldn't recommend more

We really enjoyed our lunch at Chicama.
The Lunch tasting menu was original and imaginative. The whole fish course with black rice was simple, but beautifully cooked, and packed with flavour. The banana desert, an absolute triumph!
Great food, great service, great value.
Well done. We will be back.

Very good food but only seafood and vegeterian dishes. We had someone with us who doesn’t eat fish and seafood so it was a bit complicated to please her. Other that service and food was great.

An excellent restaurant. Really nice decor, friendly and helpful staff and delicious food and cocktails. What more could you want? There wasn’t a single dish we didn’t enjoy tbh.

Chicama is always one of my favourites and I must say the service on this visit was exceptional. Food is always excellent.

The place is very cute and the service was amazing with nice and friendly staff. However the food lacked any taste which was a shame. I was really excited about coming here but the food was a total let down.

Banker for a good time, sensational food and low-key great service. Second visit and it’s been faultless twice.

Shambolic. Not the first time that I have been there . But the worst time. Plates were delivered in the wrong order, and too fast instead of repeatedly being asked to slow down. Too many different servers working on all tables so no one knew what was going on. Served bream instead of bass , then blatantly lied to. Before the dessert arrived a server tried to give us starters all over again. Most diners were voicing similar complaints . And most servers didn’t care. What a shame

Nothing special about the food. Rather unprofessional service.
Poor price / quality ratio.

We don't recommend Chicama for brunch. There are better options in Chelsea.
