Reviews Overview

Most Liked

The arepas shine here, thanks to their fluffy texture and varied fillings like ‘reina pepiada’ that locals adore.

The cachapas, sweet corn pancakes filled with cheese, offer a delightful taste of home, and it’s hard to resist ordering them more than once.

Empanadas are another high point, known for their flaky crust and generous fillings – definitely a must-try!

Longing for something comforting? The chicken sancocho hits the spot with its rich flavors and hearty ingredients. Plus, the friendly service makes the dining experience even more enjoyable.

Most Disliked

Some diners mention that the wait for food can be around 15 to 20 minutes, which might be frustrating especially during peak hours when the place is packed.

A few guests feel the menu could benefit from more variety, wishing for additional seafood options beyond what is offered.

While the cozy space has a warm ambiance, it may feel a bit cramped during busy times, particularly for larger groups. A reservation is wise if you're dining in a crowd.

As a Venezuelan, this place was absolutely amazing!! Empanadas and cachapas were just the most authentic flavor I've had in yeeeeears living abroad from home. The whole decoration has so many symbolisms that took me down memory lane... Absolutely loved it. And the warmth in their service ♥️ 1000000% recommended

Came across this restaurant during my visit to London and was pleasantly surprised to find they offered Hallacas at the beginning of November — and they were delicious! The tequeños were amazing as well. It’s a small, cozy spot with friendly staff and great service. A lovely little find

Excellent and very complete Venezuelan food menu and daily specials. You can enjoy delicious arepas with different fillings, cachapas, empanadas, and they also have a daily menu [which varies depending on the day of the week]. Don't miss the chicken sancocho, the "reina pepiada" arepas, the empanadas, and in winter, the delicious Christmas dish: hallacas! Served with roasted pork, chicken salad, and ham bread. The owners' service is unbeatable! Very affordable prices! 100% recommended!

Food was amazing!!! Everything is cooked fresh as you order so it takes about 15/20 minutes. Absolutely worth the waste. Tequeños were very crunchy and not oily at all. We had the area with pork scratchings. It was huge and delicious. Service was extremely friendly. We might be making Los Chamos a weekly lunch thing....

Turned up at Los Chamos on a whim one day and and wow, El Pabellon is no joke. The flavour, the "carne mechada", all on another level. If you’re nearby and fancy some proper Venezuelan comfort food, drop in and treat yourself to a bit of home cooking.

5 Stars – Incredible Food & Even Better People! 🇻🇪 From the moment I walked in, I felt truly welcomed the staff here are absolutely wonderful. Warm, friendly, and genuinely excited to share their culture and food, they made the entire experience even more special. Now let’s talk about the food — specifically, the empanada rellena. Hands down one of the best I’ve ever had. The crust was perfectly crisp and golden, and the filling? Packed with flavor, seasoned just right, and totally satisfying. You can tell it was made fresh, with real care and tradition behind it. The whole vibe of the restaurant is cozy and authentic, and every dish that came out of the kitchen looked amazing. This isn’t just a place to eat it’s a place to enjoy, connect, and experience a little slice of Venezuela. Highly recommend this spot! Come hungry, leave happy and definitely don’t skip the empanadas!
