When the yearning for authentic Spanish cuisine beckons, "La Paella" emerges as a culinary beacon, brilliantly capturing the essence of Spain's rich gastronomic landscape. From the moment we stepped through the doors, the ambiance transported us back to the vibrant streets of Spain, enveloped in warmth and the tantalizing aroma of spices.The service was nothing short of exemplary, with staff members who not only knew the menu inside out but also shared their enthusiasm for the flavors and traditions of their dishes. Each recommendation was spot on, adding to the overall delightful experience.The star of the evening was undoubtedly the squid ink paella. Its bold flavors and perfectly cooked seafood were a testament to the chef's mastery. Each grain of rice was infused with the deep, oceanic essence of squid ink, creating a dish that was as visually arresting as it was delectable. Every plate brought to our table was a hit, making it a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience for the whole family."La Paella" has certainly set a high standard for Spanish cuisine outside of Spain. It's a gem worth returning to, and we are already planning our next visit to delve deeper into the menu. If you're seeking an authentic taste of Spain, this is a place you won't want to miss.

Our group of 4 ordered carrot and orange soup, gazpacho soup and lentil/sausage soup; all tasted good with the carrot soup that stood out. The scallop tappas(in sizzling oil and spice) was wonderful. We ordered Paella Marinera which was one of the best paellas that I had; very tasty with lots of seafood taste, not salty and abundance of different seafood. The mixed grill had all the different meats done very well and none overcooked. The pear in red wine was a really good desset and a must try. Flan was also good. Be sure also to try their red sangria. We liked our waiter who gave good food suggestions. Very glad we picked this restaurant for Spanish food.

First time at La Paella.Loved the atmosphere. The owners are so gracious and caring. Sheep’s milk cheese, with quince was outstanding as were the olives stuffed with anchovy and the eggplant. We ordered paella marinara. So so delicious. A nice bottle of Spanish wine. It reminded us so much of sitting in Spain, enjoying conversation and wine, and not being rushed to pay the bill and vacate. Can’t wait to go back.

Don't walk, run, Lyft, fly. Get here as fast as you can. This place is the hidden gem of Beverly Hills, and it shouldn't be hidden. It's delicious and the people are wonderful. I felt like I was in Spain from the second I walked in the door.
This is the best paella place around! Very authentic Spanish cuisine. And trust me, I’ve tried many places. Their service is also top notch. They accommodated us even though we were late for our original reservation. Try their blackened paella with squid ink!

The calamari is the best. This Is my fiancé favorite place to eat, serves his traditional Spanish foods "Paella". Tapas are appetizers we always order like 10 different foods. 2 glases of their home made sangria and its all good. Oh, yes Spanish speaking servers my my fiancé loves that, he don't speak English lol..Kid-friendliness: I always take my kids mine are well behaved. ?
