In West Hampstead bars and restaurants come and go but Sirous looks set to go the distance. Alive with the sound of happy diners chatting and laughing as they share tapas and a drink or two, Sirous has the kind of sparkling atmosphere that comes only with the creation of a truly relaxed restaurant. Spacious and airy, opening out on to the bustling West End Lane, Sirous offers visitors the choice of relaxed, worn-in leather sofas or informal bistro style seating on which to while away a few hours in the company of seriously good Spanish cuisine. Colourful bowls of olives and sun dried tomatoes are joined by summery salads and paella the likes of which are rarely seen outside of Spain itself. In addition to Iberian favourites pasta dishes and full mains with that Mediterranean bent are also offered.
