Food is good but a bit overpriced. Waiters are almost not understandable when they explain the dishes. They speak too quicky and not loud enough as the place is very noisy. Not sure to understand why restaurant needs to be noisy and that guests need to shout tontalk to each other.

Excellent service! The food was of a magnificent quality full of delicious flavours. We would like to see a better selection of wines, but hey, it's Dubai. I can say that it is a nice traditional Spanish corner in the middle of the bustling and contemporary Dubai. Just steps away from the Dubai Mall, the Dubai Fountain and Burj Khalifa. All to enjoy a pleasant evening in Dubai with authentic Spanish food.
