Donde Carlos

About Donde Carlos

Donde Carlos brings a slice of Colombian warmth to Shepherds Bush, five minutes from Hammersmith tube, where the greeting feels like stepping into a family kitchen. The mini bandeja paisa is a local favourite — rice, beans, chicharrón, and cornbread that hits the comfort spot, while the chicken empanadas arrive crispy and fresh with a house garlic sauce. Highchairs and buggy-friendly space make it easy for families, and the generous portions mean sharing is encouraged. Reviewers frequently mention staff members Andres and Lina for patient, friendly service that walks newcomers through the menu without rushing. "The music and place itself truly takes you for a moment away from London cold and back to Colombia," says one regular. Weekend soups, sancocho and ajiaco, draw the Colombian crowd, while the Calentado Sencillo breakfast packs flavour into a simple plate. Best for families who want something different without the chain polish.
