Las Iguanas - Coventry — Restaurant in Coventry

Not a bad place to eat, but not the best either. I've eaten here twice now and have not been massively impressed either time. I'd put that on the chain as a whole rather than specifically the Coventry branch, though. The price is on the mid-to-expensive side, which can leave you feeling a little deflated after eating quite an average meal.

On my visits here, I have tried the Xinxim Curry and the Copacabana Burger:

The Xinxim curry was quite nice; the flavours were good and the portion size was just right. The meat within the curry, however, wasn't the best, but that's my only main gripe.

The Copacabana Burger, on the other hand, was quite disappointing. It felt reminiscent of a Wetherspoons buttermilk chicken burger, if I had to compare it to anything. The breaded buttermilk chicken was juicy and crispy, but it certainly didn't feel like anything special flavor-wise.

On the drinks side, I wasn't disappointed, though. The two-for-one cocktails are good value for money, and they have a great selection. From what I tried, everything tasted great too.

Service is friendly and welcoming, but can be a bit on the slower side sometimes. This could potentially be down to staff issues on my two visits, though.

Overall, I'd say Las Iguanas is okay, but for the food price point, I'd rather go elsewhere. If you're just in the mood for a few cocktails, however, it's not a bad...

Absolutely not acceptable. Firstly, when we arrived, we were told the previous group on our table, hadn't quite paid for everything they ordered, leaving us worried we'd be expected to cover their payment. Then, one item of food was brought out wrong. Fair enough, the waitress did offer to replace this, but still not hard to get the right meal. When we paid for our meal, the server who took payments, did not seem to think it necessary to warn us of a so called "optional" service charge. This is essentially a tip the company has decided you owe them, which can be removed by your choice. This was however not explained, even when the final person was paying, she was not informed of the "optional" amount she could have saved. Because the group before us had not paid off their tab, our service charge was calculated with their money as well. This lead to me having to pay £38 for a service charge, which was not ever mentioned to me or another one of our group. Will definitely be warning friends in future to be careful not to get robbed and only pay for...

Myself and a friend went in for just drinks and the place was disgusting! All the seating area was covered in glasses, plates and bowls the whole time we were there. 3 times staff came over and looked at the tables but none cleared anything away. At one point to the end of our stay a staff member came up twice looking for certain glasses they needed to use and only took them. They even came up to our table and asked for my glass but left my friends there. We should have guessed how it was going to be when we first got to the bar my friend ordered her drinks (keeping in mind we were the only people at the bar!) which then took 10 minutes to make after I asked if anyone was even making them before myself having to ask if I could place an order. I would totally understand if it was super busy and they were all running around but it was very quiet and when I finally asked if someone was making my friends drink, 4 members of staff were all standing in the downway behind the bar looking at phones or just talking. Customer service was...
