Very poor service, food is tasteless and the problem is it says Spanish taste. I travel to Spain a lot of time and I know how good taste and it has nothing to do with it. Asked for Paella and 90% of it was sticking to the frying pan, chicken was over cooked and dry, pasta half cooked and the chef didn’t even bother coming to apologize although it was obvious how poor the order was made. What made matters worse, the restaurant was empty and only myself and my wife were there. Shame if the staff are trained on Spanish culinary and customer service because obviously they have no clue on how these 2 go together especially for a chef.

Visited this place once for a takeaway and was pleasantly surprised with the ambiance that I vouched to come here with my wife. Eventually did come with the Mrs. recently. A good family friendly place with decent space and outstanding outdoor seating. Ambiance, as mentioned quite decent for a Doha high-range eatery. Service: quite good, can't really complain. Food: Had the Spanish special, which was really nice. Overall food quality and taste was a solid 4.5-5 out of 5. Value for Money: Yes, definitely. Will I return again? Yes most definitely. Check it out, it's a decent place! :)

I have been to this place quite often but now I've finally decided to write a review for this eatery. This is my place to go in The Pearl! This place has never let me down! No matter what dish that we've ordered, it has never let us down! I highly recommend their Paella ! It's absolutely delicious! Their Pizza and Salads are good too, specially the desserts, they are amazing.As for value for money, it's a thumbs up! The service is welcoming, warm & prompt.I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone & all if you are at The Pearl.Even if you aren't, I would suggest you to make a trip to visit it soon!!

This was literally the worst food experience in Qatar !!! Fried fish was burned , staff doesn't speak English , plastic cups for a 150 Qar set menu !!! The rice is cold , and eventually when I decided to eat dessert because the food is not acceptable , I found a hair in my fruits plate . I regret every single Reyal .

The ambience is really good. Staff are really helpful and attentive all the time.The food quality are average or even below. Paella which is supposed to be their signature is really bad with rice being overcooked and stuck. Beverage portion is really a joke with bland taste. Prices are fair only if using promotional vouchers. Not recommended.

We really thought that we would be getting something like authentic tapas here, and unfortunately that's just not the case. Perhaps we ordered badly, but between the 3 of us we chose 5 different plates and none were memorable. On the positive side, the service couldn't have been more helpful, and the restaurant itself is a nice place. Total price for the 3 of us was 260qar (we only drank water)

Nice atmosphere, decorated with beautiful Spanish fans. As for the food, we were not too hungry, so unfortunately we didn't try paella.Since we really like Gaspacco, seeing it in menu, we immediately ordered it. What can I say? We ate gaspacco in Spain and even took the class with Spanish chef to learn how to cook it. This is NOT gaspacco! Something really waterly and tasteless with ice cubes in it. It tasted like one tomato blended with water. Don't recommend to order it. And would be really nice if the chef could review the recipe and change it!We also ordered potatas aioli, they were good, the sauce was tasty. And fried marinated chicken was also good with nice sauce.The service was friendly and very fast, maybe because we were the only guests there. As I already mentioned the place itself is nice. And there is comfortable sitting area outside

I'm not sure if it's because the lack of activity during the confinement that made the cooking qualities rust a bit... But it's a shame to relate this place with Spanish cuisine. If the concept was Indian taste with the look of Spanish tapas, then it would be more accurate. The GaZpacho in that glass with ice cubes was terrible, it was like drinking balsamic vinegar alone. The gambas al ajillo, had nothing but garlic (just 3 or 4 slices of a clove), a sort of mixed Indian spices and no signs of paprika, parsley nor red chilli. Lots of lemon though... Finally the tuna and pepper salad... Horrible. None of those dishes can be called Spanish tapas. I'm sorry but I'm Spanish and looking at the comments also of the people that know the Spanish taste... You must either bring a Spanish cook to teach how to make it or remove the Spanish name and flag from the place and call it Casa Vijay.

Food - dissapointing (most of e pasta & rice was stucked to pan. Chicken was tasteless. Rice was tasteless.) Our tapas taste like frozen shrimps.Ambience - dissapointing. A/c was down & staff didnt even mention it until we asked. Service - OK. Staff was attentive and kept asking if we were OK. BUT, even when we told him about what was wrong, he could not rectify. No fault of e staffers. Perhaps the manager / owner of the restaurant should take more pride in operating this place.

The server was great, and the paella was very good. Huge portions. The steak was not a very good cut and not cooked to our liking. The Burrata needed better tomatoes and more of them, and more dressing (especially olive oil) - would have also been better to use basil leaves than lettuce.

We visited this place for lunch a few weeks ago and haven’t been back since. We walked through the entire restaurant looking for staff then continued to sit ourselves outside. We waited for quite sometime for someone to notice us, eventually we decided to call the restaurant and asked if they were even open. We knew they were open because people were sitting inside eating. Once the lady server came out she wasn’t the happiest around although she did know the menu pretty well. We opted for a chicken paella and mixed seafood platter. They served a complimentary bread and dip, which was not nice at all. So plain and kind of tasted old. The seafood on the platter all tasted frozen, not cold, but old frozen food. The paella was just okay but the rice itself was cooked well. Unfortunately, for the price this place was not what we expected. We will not be back and will not recommend it to others.

Visited this place once for a buffet and was quite disappointed with the food and service. Paella was blunt with not enough seafood, and the whole flavor was missing. What was even more disappointing was the manager, I guess it was a French lady who had a very careless attitude towards the feedback from the customers. Never visiting this place again

We had the seafood paella which was pretty good. The service was great. The portion size for two is a lot but worth it. I've had much better paella, not in Doha, but if you have a craving it will settle it. The brownie was more like a chocolate sponge cake, tasted ok, texture was off. Calamari appetizer was great. Definitely worth a try.
