Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We had a selection of tapas and paella for the main course, which were better than expected, especially the freshness of the ingredients, truly delicious!

Menu is extensive and always ask for the specials! You will not be disappointed. Nothing beats a home made chocolate orange bread and butter pudding! Service is friendly and very accommodating.

I love this place. The tapas (we got artichokes, eggplant, and chorizo), paella (seafood & squid ink,), and dessert (crema Catalana and bread pudding) were all wonderful. Lovely atmosphere

I had lunch with a friend at La Paella yesterday. The tapas we had were excellent with plenty of choice for a vegetarian like myself and we both had the delicious almond tart (I think 'tarta de santiago') to finish. The atmosphere is relaxed and...friendly and a good place to go for a chat over a meal with a friend. The prices are very reasonable. I'm a devotee of anything Spanish, and for me this is definitely the best Spanish restaurant I have visited.More

Diverse menu, and very tasty food. Especially enjoyed the fried courgettes with honey. I wouldn’t bother with the calamari again- that was factory produced, but the other dishes were delicious. Had an interesting dessert, too. Staff are charming and helpful.

Me and my girlfriend went to this lovely and cosy Spanish restaurant all from South London for paella. It was totally worth it. One of the best paella I've had. The personell was really nice and came to the table for one or two chats....After our delicious paella and crema catalana we received a small drink from the bar for travelling all a cross London. Would really recommend if you want a quick trip from reality :)More
