WOW!! amazing time here! we were a group of 8 young adults, and were very well looked after. Our waiter Mohammed was so lovely and very kind! He took us to the kitchen and even took a lovely photo of us. The food was so delicious and the atmosphere was sensational. This is our second time coming as a group and we will definitely come again. Special thanks again to Mohammed !

Wonderful surprise for lunch. I had read about the place, and we decided to try it out being in the neighborhood. So glad we did… We had a paella and were invited into the kitchen to experience it being cooked over open fire. That was amazing. And it tasted even better. By far the best paella we have had in the 10+ years we have been traveling to Spain. Mohammed our waiter was friendly and attentive and gave perfect wine recommendation to go with the paella. We will definitely be back

Finally visited here after several recommendations and it did not disappoint. The service from the extremely pleasant and friendly waiters was excellent and the paella was absolutely delicious. It's cooked on Sarmiento woods which gives it a such a unique smoky flavour. The whole experience was fantastic and we will definitely return.
