Tentempie Madrid: Reviews & Ratings
Tentempie Madrid is a wonderful place where you can immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Madrid. You will be met by the owner of the bar, his name is Carlos. Carlos prepares special meals for you. The interior of the walls is decorated with tiles from Cordoba, like many other decorative elements. Surprisingly, this bar does not make a profit on wine, the wines on the wine list at a bottle price of 30 and I higher in the store have a similar price. The wine list includes the best wines from the Rioja region, Spain. Highly recommend. And music. Wonderful authentic Spanish music in the background.
Food was beyond amazing! Service was great, the owner is very friendly. We couldn’t decide which one was our favorite dish because everything was delicious. Definitely coming back
Where do I begin?!!! I have been trying to get a reservation at Tentempie Madrid & finally received my call for a table... The Owner Carlos called to discuss his availabilities and mentioned that Tentempie Madrid is a traditional tapas with only small plates, NO MAIN COURSE and house wines and beer... Loved the call, perfect table for two at 7:30! My boyfriend and I were greeted by the Owners wife, and seated right away... She was just as lovely! What a great duo!! My boyfriend & I could be wrong BUT they seemed to be the only two running the magic over there... And they do it very very well!!!!! What a treat we were in for!!! FOOD: 5 STARS! We started off with drinks, we were unsure of which wine or beer to go with and Carlos's wife had no problems letting us taste them so we enjoyed what we ordered... LOVED THAT!!! There were so many choices... After we made our decision we put ourselves in the mindset to sit back relax & not RUSH.... Seems like (well i'll speak for myself as an American) we RUSH through everything... For food we did order the paella (made to order and takes about 55 minutes) again NO RUSHING, enjoy your wine, tapas in between, & your company.... Every dish we ordered, the flavors just took us right to Spain! We had the Jamon Iberico (order that!) the SHRIMP!!!! I'm still thinking about it, and every other dish!!!!! SERVICE: 5 STARS! Top notch!!! She didn't skip a beat with us or any other table for that matter! Very impressive ATMOSPHERE: 5 STARS! Small intimate piece of gold! Barrel high-tops and a few tables... The bathroom was spotless, that's a thing for me... After dinner service was complete, Carlos who is also the Chef checked in with every table with his lovey wife and offered us a traditional house after tapas drink (i can not remember the name, but it was so good!) Also, I did ask the Owner her name... It was a very beautiful name that I have a hard time pronouncing and unsure how to spell. (my apologies that I keep referring to her as "she") Thank you guys for such an unforgettable night.
Absolutely fantastic. We’re from Spain. The food is authentic and delicious. The best tortilla de patata and gambas al ajillo Tortilla de patata is better than Casa Dani in Madrid. It’s high quality comfort food with a touch of finesse and expertise. We found our home away from home. Thank you Carlos.
As a Spaniard I find this is a Westchester little gem that provides some of the best authentic Spanish food I’ve had in New York. Highly recommend it to all Spanish food enthusiasts.
I have a new favorite restaurant! Out of pure happenstance I ended up at this lovely restaurant and it was a transformative experience. Carlos the owner helped guide us on a wonderful unforgettable culinary adventure that was both eye opening and a delightful sensory trip. There were fantastic aged meats and cheeses from Spain unlike any I've ever had. Tender fresh pulpo that almost melts in your mouth. Croquetas that you'll never forget. Many others! You owe it to yourself to try this fantastic authentic culinary taste of real tapas cuisine from Spain and leave all the counterfeit tapas alone!
I visited Tentempie about two months ago and had an amazing experience! The food is authentic and so tasty. We ordered patatas bravas, gambas al ajillo, pan con tomate, a salad (which was simple but sooo delicious) and a special they had of chorizo and chicken skewers. I got a pineapple sangria, which was to die for, and my friend had a red sangria, which she enjoyed! The chef also came out to see how we were enjoying everything, which was so thoughtful. Can't wait to go back soon!
Nice atmosphere, great service, superb dishes! They have Mocktails, I don't drink much so I find that very nice. I loved their Risotto with Shrimp and Scallops. Their mussels were awesome as an appetizer. Their Tiramiso was delicious. I can truly recommend it!
