Cumbia Bar Kitchen

Execelnte !

Here’s a long overdue review for an amazingly tasty meal on 9th May. Bar Cumbria and Kitchen is a small restaurant on the Grote St side of the Adelaide Central Market serving foods inspired from varied South American and Latin countries. The food is designed to share - though you may want to hog some dishes all to yourself! Being small, bookings are recommended, particularly for larger groups. This was my second visit. It’s popular, and once you have eaten there, you’ll understand why. We were lucky to grab a seat for dinner during a Friday night market shopping trip. Our host made sure we were looked after for food and drink, whilst making sure his staff attended the other diners needs. No one was left waiting long for anything that night! We had a meal of shared plates: empanadas; patatas bravas; Argentinian steak and roast broccoli on a Lima bean puree. The wine and cocktail were also delicious. The empanadas were lovely, crisp pillows of deliciousness. 3 to a serve with mixed fillings. The Argentinian steak was perfectly cooked to melt in the mouth tenderness. A touch of char flavour from the grill. The roasted broccoli was a serious treat and almost stole the glory from the steak! The Lima bean puree provided a silky accompaniment, and the crunchy seeds a wonderful textural contrast. We will definitely be back!

Cumbia at Adelaide Central Market is an absolute gem! The staff are warm, friendly, and always attentive, making you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. The food is fresh, full of authentic Latin American flavors, and beautifully presented – every dish feels made with passion. A vibrant atmosphere, excellent service, and amazing food make this a place I’ll definitely return to and recommend to everyone!

Absolutely lovely food. There's a little heat in the sauce, and chorizo but nothing unmanageable and there's chilli oil for anyone who wants extra. The meatballs are light, the enchiladas are crispy. For anyone who doesn't wish to sit down there's takeaway options out the front.

Thank you Cumbia for starting of our date night with a bang. Great atmosphere, delicious meals and super friendly staff. Tha Caviche was a delicious start to our delicious mains of paella and chilli & crab Pasta. To top it off, the service from Jherson was amazing. Thanks team Cumbia

Had dinner at Cumbia last night . We were so impressed!! Staff were lovely and food was fantastic and Sangria is moorish. Highly recommend this cool restaurant.

We are so happy with our dinner here…. The tasty paella… and the empanadas - we love the crust, not thick, it’s just enough and crispy! The prawn squid inked pasta is creamy and yumm!
