I went to La Plancha with a few friends and it was a perfect evening. The cocktails were wonderful and the food is delicious - such a good range of tapas dishes to suit all tastes. The service was impeccable - our waitress was polite and attentive and had a good knowledge of the dishes so she could advise us with quantities and ingredients. I would definitely recommend and we will be returning.

This wasn't my first option for food, but I'm so glad I went with my partner. The food was so good. I will definitely be visiting again. The only thing that was a negative was that it was a little cold inside. But that hasn't put me off wanting to visit again.

We went to La Plancha for my birthday last night . It was our first trip there and we certainly were not disappointed. There’s a wide selection of tapas. What we ordered was delicious. The portions are very generous so it’s extremely good value. The waitress on duty was excellent, very knowledgeable and attentive even though she was serving customers at the bar as well so a big thank you to her!! We would fully recommend and will be returning every time we are in Moseley.

We went past after visit to the park with the kids on Sunday. The waitress was very nice and explained what to expect with each dish. We had tortillas, mushroom ciabatta, prawns paella, and pork loins in tomato sauce. They were very delicious except the pork was a bit tough. The place was cozy and very clean. I shall bookmark this place.

I just wanted to say thank you to you to the owner Karmal and all the staff for a wonderful meal on Saturday night for my partner's birthday. Everyone said how much they enjoyed themselves and how amazing the food was, especially how smoothly it all went. My partner said how much she enjoyed her birthday meal so it was very special to her. Thanks again for organising it all and for being so accommodating especially with the changes in numbers. We will be back soon!

We arrived during a busy period and were told that there would be a 45 minute wait for food which we were happy to wait. It was a little longer of a wait than that but we were very kindly given a bowl of delicious olives while we waited and then given two cocktails on the house which were equally tasty. This was a very thoughtful thing to do and was well appreciated. When the food did arrive, every plate was delicious with standouts being the scallops in garlic butter and king prawns in chilli and honey. Despite it being incredibly busy the gentleman who served us even went down to the basement to replace a bulb in the light next to us. It’s these acts of kindness which meant we were happy to leave a tip and will definitely be back to try other dishes and cocktails.
