    Paella was amazing. However, we had bad services from the waitress. Even though we ordered the same meal as the table next to us, they treat people differently from race.

    You can smell the paella from all over the market. The original paella is the best to go for. The paella with the fish in it is average. Service is great and friendly.

    Great Paella. Fish version was a bit bland, though. Good atmosphere.

    I don't know... Chicken thighs, tinned peas, no saffron, and over-stewed chorizo.... The paella has gone downhill. Get authentic, or get out I say! :)

    The big pan paëla is Melbourne's worst kept secret but the chicken filled bell peppers are worth waiting for.

    Half our breakfast order was forgotten and the other half was uncooked (Mmm, raw egg white). Staff still charged us then bailed without giving change. Really disappointing.

    Pity the food stinks to the point it's on your clothes after you walk past.

    The sea food paella is not good at all. They forgot to put salt! Other food is so so.

    Was so excited about eating here again but unfortunately, the waitress at the end of the night was so breathtakingly rude I don't think I'll be back.

    Great coffee but rude staff, is it that hard to smile and make guests feel welcome? Won't be back on that basis.

    The seafood rice is pretty expensive $12.50/container and the taste is not that brilliant...
