"We really enjoyed this place. We did 2 things you're not supposed to do. First we ate before like 8pm. Second, we stopped at a place that is more "touristy" than others, but we thought it looked good and it wasn't really close to any main attractions. We found the food very good, and would highly recommend it. The dish with the mussels was great, so tasty. We got a few other things and they were both very tasty. Service was very friendly and the atmosphere was easy to relax and enjoy dinner. Would recommend."

"This cozy restaurant in the heart of Barcelona had a great atmosphere with amazing food and lovely staff. This place offers a variety of small tapas to paella. The food came out fast and the prices are affordable. We had seafood paella, meatballs and some tuna there were tasty. This place is definitely more popular with tourists rather than locals but still highly recommended."

"Looks too good to be true, but it is true! The Tortilla, Puntas de Solomillo, Chciken Paella amd crema catalana were incredible!! Anwaar was the best so friendly and best vibe. People chanting on the terrace and live music made it a magical moment. Worth your best night in Barcelona."

"The food was good, atmosphere was okay service was good. One thing I didn’t like that one of their employees insisting on giving 5star review. Also she herself was selecting 5star while I was holding the phone."

"We absolutely loved this place. At first, we thought it might be just another tourist spot because of its popularity, but it truly exceeded our expectations. The food was excellent — well-executed, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Everything we tried was delicious, and the quality was consistently high. The service was equally impressive: attentive, friendly, and professional without being intrusive. A special mention to Sattar, who took great care of us. He was incredibly warm, helpful, and genuinely kind, which made the whole experience even more memorable. Overall, this was a fantastic dining experience and far better than we expected. Definitely a place we’d happily return to and confidently recommend."

"We ordered about six dishes, and every single one was absolutely delicious. The honey-glazed eggplant, jamón, seafood soup, and both types of sangria were especially outstanding. Our server, Mahmoud, was friendly, attentive, and incredibly quick, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. We had a wonderful time and would definitely come back."
