It was the biggest sticking point for me before I went and I took more than my fair share of persuasion before I went. On my first and last visit, I was with friends who have frequented the place more than once so I followed behind them and did as they did. It's really not the sort of place I would ever visit again. You can bring your own alcohol which makes it more bearable. However, I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable throughout it as it just is not my sort of thing. Ironically Shisha is meant to help you relax. For some people, this is the perfect place to go and chill out and for that reason you are welcome to it. I would rather a pub and a club to loosen myself up. It can often be over used but this is the epitome of 'you'll like it if it's your sort of thing'. It's not mine and I really did not enjoy it.

Shisha is something I first tried whilst lazing around Camden market when I lived in London. I…read moreloved it, so when this place opened I jumped right in. It's bring your own which makes it quite cheap as well and because it's Shisha, it can be smoked inside, which is very convenient. On the night we went there was an acoustic session going on which added to the very chilled out atmosphere. Apparently it's been having some licensing issues but hopefully that can be sorted out. It's a great place to chill at lunch or for a night out.

El Chapo, as the name suggests is a Tex-Mex restaurant. Their cocktails (especially the Classic and…read moreFrozen Margaritas) are superb, food is good with lots of vegetarian (can be veganised on request) and gluten-free options. Both the veggie soft and hard shell tacos are delicious, as is the sharing breadboard starter. Though I wasn't a fan of the veggie burrito - thought it lacked flavour. There's a fantastic outside area which is a suntrap on summer afternoons/ early evenings - lovely to relax in. Plus, El Chapo run a range of daily offers, eg Taco Tuesdays during which you can order a Taco dish and get a Frozen Margarita for only £1.00. Have enjoyed dinning here a few times and would recommend.

The tacos were not good at all: just meat and a crispy taco shell. No cheese, no lettuce, no…read moretomato, just meat. A simple glance at an El Paso taco box in Sainsbury's will tell them what goes into a taco. The soft prawn taco was supposed to have salsa on it. Nope, just some creamy sauce, no salsa. The margarita had the salt caked onto one side only. Read a book about how to salt the rim of a glass for a margarita people! Not hard to do. The inside is nice. But the food was not, esp not worth the price. I doubt we'll ever return. Sorry, we wanted to like it.

Nice decor and ambience, think it has been recently renovated. Busy but not too busy - don't…read moreusually require a reservation. My family really like coming here. They have different menus and offers throughout the week which is cool but very limited vegan options unfortunately :/
