Las Iguanas (Lakeside Thurrock)

The Team at Las Iguanas live for food, and to bring food alive – with an irresistible bolt of Latin American energy. The chefs add carefully sourced ingredients from around the world, to conjure delicious, authentic South American food, made with passion, love and lots of Latin magic. The result is food that pulses with its exotic 16th Century roots – a mouth-watering confusion of native Latin American Indian, Spanish, Portuguese and African influences. Las Iguanas is an adventure. Discover new tastes, fall in love with new favourites – and feel the warmth and welcome of South America. As soon as you step through the doors, you open yourself to the colour, chaos and charm of Latin America. Every restaurant is unique and filled with different treasures brought back from many visits, from a piece of artisan furniture to a special dish on the menu. Las Iguanas insists on using fresh ingredients in their kitchens and make over 30 salsas and sauces by hand each day. The menu is fully inclusive with a choice of halal and non-halal dishes, gluten free dishes and a separate vegetarian and vegan menu. The chicken, lamb, mutton and turkey are halal in all the restaurants, other meats are not halal including beef, duck and chorizo.
