Maria's Tortilla - East Dulwich.


Recommended Posts

We went last night just for a glass and a couple of pieces of tapas before heading down the road for drinks. Maria is charming and full of warmth. I hope that people will support it - not as swanky as some of the other restaurants in this foodie part of ED but great intention.

Well, it would be nice, but no! Was thinking of kids tea. The gap at Miss Tapas means it isn?t so practical. Went to Maria?s Tortilla today. It?s nice. Prefer Miss Tapas, but Maria?s is a great addition to Lordship lane and it?s nice to have a different option.

Indeed it is open and it is an excellent bar. Fashioned like a typical Spanish bar, where you have your tapas as a side to your drink, not viceversa!

Glorious tortillas (the original Spanish omelette with several flavours), croquetas, pintxos...Mar?a also a very friendly owner. Worth a visit and repeat.

I?ve added Maria?s Tortilla to Tripadvisor as its a welcome addition to the lane and the more places its mentioned that people might look the more chance it has of being there in the future when we want to go again. If you can add reviews to the Tripadvisor entry that would be good - new places are mentioned on the forum but then threads are not updated and it gets difficult to find out about them. Here?s what we thought of it.


?This is a bar not a restaurant and less foodie than recent additions to Lordship Lane. It?s good at what it does.


Like most places on Lordship Lane it?s small. There are three low tables, three or four high tables for two and seats at the bar.


There are drinks menus on the table and the food - tapas and pinxos- is written on a blackboard at the end of the bar. There is a good selection of wine by the glass.


Tortilla was so good we finished it so quickly Maria thought we hadn?t had it. The sauce on the Patatas bravas was quite smoky. Pisto (ratatouille) had too much tomato for us.


A welcome addition and Maria was very friendly. Prices reasonable for tapas. Dishes ?2.50 for an individual snack, ?4-?6.50 for a tapas to share.


We?ll be back?

A shout out for the excellent Maria's Tortilla. Dropped in for the first time yesterday and definitely intend to go often! My glass of wine was delicious, so was my plate of food, and good value too. Also a lovely and relaxed atmosphere. Fully recommend it...

    • update - we got a space which is ideal for what we needed at Dulwich storeage (thanks for the suggestion,  ed_pete)
    • I think I am becoming addicted to reporting dog waste and fly tipping - so easy to use, who knows the council might actually put some dog waste bins back up (we used to have one on Ulverscroft Road) and signage to remind careless owners to pick up their dog's mess and put it in a bin - preferably their own bin or a black public one rather than someone's green or blue bin, or leave it on the pavement. So disgusting.
    • I recently had Greg install some radiators and TRVs - he was very professional and efficient, and did the job well! He also helped me out in a pickle with a leaky bathroom towel rail. I'd recommend! Thanks Greg! 
    • Oh dear. Sadly I had a disappointing meal on Saturday night. I should have read Malumbu's review above before I ordered. I thought I'd have a dosa for a change. Our meal arrived very quickly. However the dosa was more like a thick and very soggy pancake. The filling was fine. The sambar (sp?) was fine. The chutneys were not what I was expecting, and had a consistency more like sauces.  That might be my lack of knowledge of South Indian food, but I would have expected the coconut chutney to at least taste a bit like coconut. I left most of the actual dosa. My OH said his aubergine curry was delicious. I don't know whether the problem was that the dosa got soggy due to being wrapped in foil to be delivered, but tbh it didn't look like it had ever been a thin crispy dosa 😥 as I have always had in the past  at South Indian restaurants.
