Very good paella, of course it takes a while to prepare, but worth it.

We’ve ate there previously and the quality of the food was much better. We felt that the food didn’t taste authentically Spanish and the quality of the ingredients wasn’t as good as before. It wasn’t a bad meal but it certainly wasn’t the best tapas in Cardiff.

The service was lovely and that was about all. We ordered our mains but the first 2 try’s were told they didn’t have it. The Iberia pork was like overcooked greasy gammon and so called bravas potato were small potatoes cooked as chips, nothing spicy about them. I was having a monthly catch up with my son where we try somewhere different each time unless we have an exceptional experience. We won’t be trying this again.

Food was freshly cooked and hot , extremely tasty , very good gluten-free options, the only criticism is no gluten-free bread available, this would definitely enhance the meal and would be easy to provide

They had a problem with the ovens but worked round it and we had delicious food. The lighting was a little bright for a tapas restaurant. Great service.
