Blankita Restaurante

"Words can’t really express how much I love and appreciate this restaurant. I lived in the area for four years now and this is without a doubt my favourite place to eat in the whole city. Either you’re passing by or you have time to stop, La Blankita is always ready to offer the best homemade soup you can find in London and from an Italian point of view that says a lot! The SANCOCHO is now a threat for me, a self love dish that I love to enjoy from time to time and it never disappoints. It’s the closest thing to a mama’s soup that you’ll find and it’s warmer enough to fill up your heart as well as your tummy. The personal there is lovely, you can see the passion for food and costumer service in their smiles which is something that can never be underestimated. I wish to give a big round of applause for this amazing place!"

"This restaurant provides a satisfying dining experience. The interior is clean and tastefully decorated. Food is served hot and well presented. Portion sizes are generous and filling. The staff are friendly and helpful. Prices are reasonable for the quality offered. Overall it’s a good choice for dining out."

"Cafe at the front and restaurant inside. Very nice soup and the seasoning for the main (beef tongue) is amazing, first time trying sugar cane juice. Friendly and polite staff, generous food portion! Will definitely revisit and recommend if anyone is around this area!"

"We went in just after noon on a Saturday. A few friends were hoping to have the breakfast so when we found out it had just stopped we decided to go elsewhere. However, they kindly said they would do the breakfast for us. I had the menu del dia. A few items weren't available. Regardless, the food was tasty! Big portions, fair price. My main came before my starter but otherwise the service was good and I'll definitely be returning."

"A no thrills restaurant but what felt like a genuine taste of Colombia. Had a meal combo starting with an amazing fish soup. My friends had the seafood soup, also nice but I personally preferred the fish (salmon) soup (just a matter of personal taste). The soup comes in quite a big bowl, so go with an empty stomach! Followed by a main meal of rice, grilled meat of your choice, fried plantain, a very small helping of salad and home-made sugar cane juice or drink of choice. Background Colombian music and Colombian customers are regular (a good sign). It's not an area that would come to mind when considering where to eat, but I was invited by friends, and I am glad I went. A nice little find. Customer service came with limited English today. I'm not sure if it is always like that (but we had a Spanish speaking friend, which helped). However, the menu is self-explanatory, and all allergy info was available on the wall. It's definitely worth a visit. Customer service is not too bad (not friendly or unfriendly). They were keen for us to leave once we finished eating and originally wanted the 3 of us to sit on a small table for two, but we stood our ground and overcame any resistance and enjoyed our experience overall. Combo is around £14 each. Not bad at all! It is not a Michelin style meal but definitely not a disappointment. I really enjoyed."

"Traditional Colombian cuisine. I ordered Extremely delicious beef soup with a proper chunk of tender beef and rich broth. For the main course I went ahead with the waiter's suggestion and ordered Sobrebarriga (flank beef steak) with potato, rice, and plantain. The soup was very flavourful and would eat it again however I would probably order a different main course. The steak had a thicker layer of fat than I prefer, but I still enjoyed the flavor of the dish. I tend to solely drink water and coffee so the cane juice they served was way too sweet for my taste - I drank half of it. It was OK. The portion filled me for hours. Overall, I did enjoy the atmosphere of the restaurant. The Colombian songs in the background made the experience much more authentic and fun. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was full of customers during Saturday lunch time. Cost: £14 for a combo of soup, main, and a drink of your choice."

"This place is delish fresh tasty, large portions , really good price. I go every week for sancocho the tangy soup with slow cooked beef and plantain cassava and potatoes. It’s the best in the area!"

"Blankita offers affordable traditional columbia cuisine near Seven Sisters station. We tend to take home food as the portions are very generous."
