Rumba — Restaurant in Warwick

Valentines set menu was terrible. Such a shame when the reviews are so good. Service was terrible, they didn’t seem to care that the food was not fresh and we were told we could have the main menu and then shortly after told we couldn’t at the beginning of the meal. A very expensive bill for minimal food and food I barely ate. The meat and cheese board was shocking. Cheap tapas meat you get from the supermarket and cheap white bread and a mouldy strawberry. Prawns were overcooked, greasy and when peeled open hardly any prawn in. Inedible. We sent them back and had the same thing again. We didn’t eat them. The chicken was dry with a badly tasting pineapple sauce. The ‘pulled’ tacos were full of tough meat. The only positive was the shredded chicken. Would have much preferred the main menu as promised at the start of the dinner and had the lovely food posted in the photos on these reviews. Highly...

Whilst the food was good, the service was poor and the experience was very poor. Despite being in the restaurant’ part, the order’s soft drink arrived in a bottle with a straw, and the fizzy water lacked fizz.

The rugby was shown on a large TV in the ‘restaurant’ which meant that it was too noisy to have a conversation plus we had the added discomfort of the patrons at the next table, which was situation very near our table, turning their chairs to face the TV resulting in them looking straight at us as we ate. This was a very disturbing experience and ruined what was suppose to be a double celebratory meal.

Recommendation - decide whether you are a restaurant or a sports bar that serves food and advertise accordingly. I would not have made a reservation should I have known this would be...

Had a really fab meal unexpectedly at Rumba this evening, as we were passing through the area on a wet, grey, miserable day. By the time we left we felt much sunnier and happier! We came especially for the ceviche, which my husband said he fancied if I could find somewhere that served it. The ceviche did not disappoint - packed with fresh shrimp in a beautifully tangy lime, tomato and cilantro stock. I had the trio of pork shoulder tacos which were fantastic, and the arguably even better platanos baskets; plantain stuffed with shredded chicken. Add in a margarita, some churros and a lovely chat en español with the staff and wonderful owner, and you’ve got yourself a winning meal out. ¡Muy rico! ¡Mucho gracias Rumba! We hope to see...
