Donde Carlos, what can I say...? Great place with a little shop downstairs for those Latin American goods you're missing!
The service is friendly, and feels genuine, and the ambiance is almost as if you were in Colombia! There's usually some Spanish football on the TV which adds to the authenticity of the restaurant. It's always full of Colombians, and other spanish speakers, which could be a little daunting for some, but it's evidence that they do a good job with the food!
The empanadas taste great, and of course come with the great spicy salsa verde, super tasty. I ALWAYS go for the Bandeja Paisa, and I'm satisfied every time! The meat is good, although it can be a little over cooked at times, but not often. The rice, arepa, egg, beans and plantain are always cooked perfectly (I think they've had a lot of practice)!!
The drinks choices are great, you can even order a Refajo (recommended) which is kinda like beer with Irn-Bru. Tastes great with all the meat on a Bandeja Paisa! They also have some great juices which you can have with milk or water. I usually get the Maracuja with water... refreshing!
To say the prices for food are reasonable is a real understatement. £12 for Bandeja Paisa of this quality is awesome!
If you're ever in Shepherds Bush, check this place out. Be warned, they close unusually early on Sundays, around 7pm. -

American visiting British-Colombian spot was such a great experience. Was greeted by a wonderful gentleman who was very attentive. Felt like home. The drink and food did taste different from what I'm used to, but it was still good. The carne empanadas were delicious. I ordered the Bandeja Paisa, but the chorizo and chicharon were too oily and not well done. That was my only complaint.. other than that pretty cute place. The downside they only take cash. No credit card.

I've tried a few different Colombian restaurants here in London, Donde Carlos was by far my favorite. Very authentic, delicious, and they offer great service. I highly recommend it if your are here.
