La Paella Tapas Bar in Enfield

Our favourite restaurant, been regulars for years. Love it.

Lovely food and great atmosphere

We enjoyed our visit to La Paella Tapas Bar. We had the beef stew tapas and seafood paella, both of which were outstanding. The food was delicious, and the service was prompt. The atmosphere was inviting, making it a wonderful dining experience.

Our new favourite spot in Southgate. Make sure you order the Leche Frita!

Have visited this restaurant many times over around twenty years. The food is always great and there are lots of choices (I am vegetarian and never struggle to find options). Service is excellent. A very friendly place. Thoroughly recommended.

food arrived very quickly and was delicious. service was super fast. We will definitely return soon for some nice Spanish Tapas.

Our first visit here and we enjoyed the meal thoroughly. We had a selection of tapas. The octopus was divine. Miguel was very welcoming and it was lovely to hear the history of this restaurant which is a long standing local institution we were lucky to experience. Looking forward to next time!

The meal was delicious as usual

Amazing food and service as always. The staff are lovely and can’t do enough for you.

We love La Paella, they serve amazing food with a friendly ambience and service. We will always come back here, highly recommend!

We absolutely love La Paella and Miguel 🇪🇸

Regulars tried new dish and had superb duck dish

The atmosphere was amazing. The food is authentic and absolutely delicious. The staff was very friendly.

Had a lovely family meal, excellent food and service and a really friendly atmosphere. We loved it here and definitely recommend!!!

Nice little local gem in north London !

The best and most authentic Spanish food in London. Owner is friendly and so hospitable. Always a great time whenever we go! Highly recommend this restaurant.

Excellent food, fine wine and a good ambience.

We always come here when we in London - an experience like no other - you are part of the La Paella family! The reserve wines you are served and the Tapas are to die for!!

Nice restaurant, the guy serving was great. Pity it was so quiet. The paella was average.

We ordered food for a family anniversary. They could not have been nicer. The food was smashing. If you want a real family run Spanish meal, don't go anywhere else

A family reunion , our first visit to La Paella . What a wonderful time we had . The nicest people , the finest food and a glorious atmosphere . We cannot wait to go back .

Absolutely brilliant. Great service, lovely food.

Great place for some Spanish food. The tapas I ordered were great - croquetas de la casa ( the small portion of salad that goes with it was so tasty) and Carillera Artesana de Teruel - slow cooked wild boar served on a bed of chips & paprika. Much better than most places you find out there that serve dry and flavourless. This place is awesome - the service was quick, polite and very accommodating.

Great food, authenticate cuisine with traditional Spanish tapas. We had a selection of seafood, sardines, mussels, octopus and was all amazing. The service is excellent and served quickly and overall very food value for money. Thanks Miguel and team!

Loved our recent visit. The tapas was good value & great quality. Very welcoming and a really nice atmosphere. Will definitely book again.

First time ordered it was nice but muscles were cold and not much quantity for 2 persons for the price

Lovely little Spanish restaurant. We will definitely returns

Highly recommended. If you’re after amazing, authentic tapas, a chilled out atmosphere and attentive and friendly staff then this is the place for you. We enjoyed a wonderful meal here. Recommend the whitebait, calamari and meatballs. Can’t wait to come back soon!

Fabulous food and great service! Super relaxing atmosphere

a great authentic Tapas restaurant. Me and my friend are here for a gig and found this place by chance and could not be happier, the food was really well priced plus extremely good!! Miguel was a great host would recommend to anyone.

My son treated me to Mother's Day lunch as I'll be cooking for my Mum in the Day. Great choices on menu and the owner was very welcoming.

My partner and I had a meal here in October and it was brilliant. The food was amazing. I am not a massive fan of seafood, but we had the seafood paella and all of it was excellent. The service was very quick (drinks & food) and very attentive. The staff were really friendly and welcoming. The décor was suited the style of the restaurant and bar and the place was clean, it also had a great atmosphere. It is on a main high street; so parking is a bit of a pain, but worth it. I did notice a sign that said 'toilet are for customers only', I appreciate your in a high foot fall area (near a station), however I am/and know people with medical conditions this always makes be feel a bit negative. Other than that highly recommended.

I left feeling like I had been robbed.

Lovely food, friendly service, great atmosphere, good value, would go again.

Excellent food. Nice atmosphere. Great service. Good price.

What an amazing place! The staff are absolutely perfection, they are funny, nice and make you feel so at home .. and the food, ahh the food is beautiful we can’t wait to come back and eventually get through the whole menu! Juan (waiter) is the best waiter there is! He was funny sweet and made us feel like we knew him for years! What a wonderful man!

Amazing tapas, good portions, the wine selection is quite unique in quality and the service up to standards, good value for money- I highly recommend Las Paellas

The best tapas - highly recommend

Always delicious and beautifully cooked food, feels very fresh and authentic

Food wonderful as always. Food great. Service good.

We went to La Paella for a birthday party with 30 guests, Miguel was extremely helpful in the lead up and made sure we had everything we needed. On the night, the whole team were lovely and very attentive, considering how many of us there were. Atmosphere was brilliant and the food was excellent too. Highly recommend for a party or a dinner/lunch for just a few.

Beautiful cod and crisp delicious wine. Absolutely delicious

Fantastic tapas generous portions ,food was delicious and staff lovely and friendly, if you like tapas definitely come here .

I had a lovely experience tonight at this cosy Spanish restaurant. A very warm welcome from Miguel, delicious food and a good atmosphere. I will definitely go back in the future.

Visited twice of the weekend. First had a couple of tapas (which are very generous portions) followed by a meat paella. Excellent paella, properly cooked do all the juices had been absorbed by the rice. Packed with meat too. Second time shared 5 tapas plates and were absolutely full! Great atmosphere. Very friendly staff - gent served on Saturday, young lady on Sunday. Both excellent, efficient, attentive.

A great place - first rate Spanish cooking in a friendly atmosphere

I've been coming to LA Paella ever since it opened over 20 years ago. Excellent food and ambience. Highly recommended.

We've been coming to La Paella for 20 years, says it all!

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!

We really enjoyed our dinner at La Paella 100%. From the outset, staff were friendly and easy-going... It was already like being in Spain... We had a selection of tapas (and then paella for the main course), which were better than expected, especially the freshness of the ingredients, truly delicious! Service was on point, friendly and efficient. An excellent Spanish restaurant, well worth a journey, if you're not far from Southgate : )

If you are a fan of Spanish food, then look no further. The food, service, atmosphere, and staff are all fantastic. An authentic restaurant that makes you feel like you are in Spain. The music is excellent, and the Tapas lunch deal is highly recommended. Remember, miss it, miss out!

In a nutshell - characterful decor, friendly service, good food, good wine, reasonable prices. A winning combination! A good restaurant to eat at with friends/ significant other and share small tapas plates. I didn't try the paella but can say the tapas is delicious. A good selection of vegetarian (and some vegan) options clearly highlighted on the menu. I especially loved the patatas bravas, the braised spinach, and the cumin chickpeas.

I have been coming to La Paella since it opened and Miguel always gives us a warm welcome. He is very friendly with a great sense of humour and he always lets me practise my dreadful Spanish. The food is tip top and his Sangria one of the best I have tasted. The churros are so delicious too. I have never had a bad meal here and all of the friends who I have brought here have loved it too. Would recommend it to everyone, there is plenty of choice and something for everyone. Muchas gracias.

A warm welcome is always a great way to start your visit to this beautiful restaurant. The service is speedy, the food is hot and delicious plus there is a wide range of food on the menu. Suitable for vegans but especially great for carnivores and pescararians. A good choice of wines and Spanish beer on tap plus bottled beers available. The front of the restaurant opens up to let the fresh air in on a sunny day, giving you the feeling you are in sunny Spain as you review the Spanish artefacts on the colourful restaurant walls. The restaurant is quaint and cosy without being on top of your fellow diners. Wild Boar with paprika on a bed of chipped potatoes is a favourite amongst all the usual suspects on the menu, plus a few other dishes that you don't see in your average tapas restaurant. I have always ate tapas here, as I enjoy a mixture of tastes and teures, hence I can't comment on the main courses but they do look and sound delicious. Two minutes walk from the local tube station. Enjoy.

Went there for my birthday dinner (23/9/23 date) with husband and kids. Absolutely gorgeous food and the man who served us helped my 8yr old practice his Spanish too! Lovely restaurant and brilliant food

愛上了西班牙菜，這是新發現的第二間在倫敦的西班牙餐廳，尤其是他們的西班牙海鮮飯，等候30分鐘的製作時間是值得的！

I went on a Thursday at 1pm, this was a good time to go for me as it was more quiet. I was impressed with the food and was happy that what we wanted was available. The service was good. The food was high quality, fresh, tasty and the portion sizes were big enough. I especially enjoyed the fresh octopus. Was happy with the prices. I can see why this place survived the pandemic. Hope to go back with more family next time.

This is the best tapas restaurant to go to I live in Tottenham and the restaurant there are not great so I recommend this place

One of the best Spanish places in North London

We really enjoyed our meal at La Paella - the paella itself was delicious and we loved the tapas too. Would also recommend the sangria!

Amazing paella,would order again.

Easy ordering. Good paella. Arrived a little early but better than late.

Lovely wine and tapas, service and atmosphere. Paella bland, needed the lemon, salt and tabasco available. Would come again and just have more of the tapas

Nice little independent Spanish restaurant - in a unassuming location from the outside but quite cosy and the decor inside makes it feel like a little bit of Spain. A selection of tasty tapas followed by sharing a Paella de Casa, all food was cooked well and authentic. Good selection of reasonably priced Spanish wines. I'd say 4.5 stars for the food but it gets rounded up because of the atmosphere, friendly service and it is just the sort of small independent restaurant that should be supported!

Best place to eat spanish food. The staff are really friendly especially the waitress who was very helpful. Great selection of wines. its a must whilst you are in southgate. cant wait to go again.

lovely food, octopus, meat balls etc.

Excellent tapas. The slow cooked wild boar really stood out as well as the octopus but everything was of an excellent quality. Very decent chap who runs it too: great to chat too and friendly with our kids.

Some of the finest Spanish Hams, Tapas and Paella I’ve eaten outside of Spain. My favourite Spanish Restaurant highly recommended ❤️💛❤️

Really good food I have eaten in Spanish restaurants in Central London where food twice the price and half as good. Great atmosphere

Amazing food and service. Fair price. Would recommend to any lover of spanish traditional food

Had dinner with my son here a month ago....amazing food! I'm half Spanish and it made me feel I was back home. Good value Can't wait for them to reopen ❤️

Highly disappointed with the food and the service. The tapas we ordered were not at all fresh, any taste and some clearly came from frozen. We complained and manager did not seem to care about our bad experience, was even gonna charge us for everything. On top of all that, he even accused us of eating for free. Extremely unhappy with this experience.

As the begining they have huge "coffee" banner. I bought there coffee for takeaway. Just no comment... I have asked for latte, guy thought that this is a beer... wait 5 minutes for him to actually get informations from someone from the back probably how to make this coffee... He started to do it and burn the milk at first. Pour very long 2 shots of espresso - it was half cup, top up 1/4 with hot WATER and eventually add this "bit" of burned milk on top. It was hotter than extra hot drink I have ever drink in the past. Close the cup with too big lid and I got burn with this terrible hot coffee that spill out first step I made outside. Charged 7.90£ for 2 of them... I dont even know why I have paid and let him sell that to me. Straight after I went to the shop around the corner and bought milk, pour out half of it to actually drink it and don't waste... Worst experience ever, never be back again. I was too angry to go back and ask for a refund. Edit: I wasnt in the wrong place, its area I know very well. Its very sticky to try mingle with peoples opinions, just get your staff proper training how to makea coffee. I have a bill in my pocket but I wont be as rude to post it with my review.

Really tasty paella will definitely order again

Was pleasantly surprised as it was a long time since I last dined here. We had a lovely meal and the dishes were fresh and tasty. Don't be put off if there aren't many diners as it is worth a try.

Fantastic food, fantastic staff.....Will be coming back for more. Mussels were out of this world

That paella was something else!!!

Very poor food and customer service

I had a takeaway Seafood Paella from La Paella Tapas Bar, Southgate in N14, Southgate. I am super satisfied with the authentic Seafood Paella as what was recommended by others. My husband and I will definitely go back to EAT IN when I have more time. Thanks so much for your service⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very disappointed with tapas including patatas bravas and Catalan cream dessert. I would expect better food in Spanish bar&restaurant. @

An excellent lunch of mixed tapas. All were delicious.

My first choice when in Southgate. A great place to eat out.

Very impressed with there service nothing was too much for them well done to the all the staff the food was amazing

Great food and service. Very attentive.

I had lunch here today with my boyfriend and I've tasted the Paella for the first time in my life: it's delicious! We ordered a paella for 2 people and they gave us a very big and rich portion of rice with seafood and chicken. We also ordered some garlic bread and tomato bread, which was so good! I really suggest this place to everyone who is looking for something different, and wants to try something new! The owner of this restaurant is a very kind and polite guy. Prices are very convenient. Thank you so much for this amazing lunch!

The best spanish restaurant in London.

Very lovely, cosy small restaurant. The Tapas are great. Paella is very good. Sangria went perfectly with the dishes. You can feel the friendliness of a family long-time business.

Just enjoyed an incredible meal thanks to this amazing restaurant, I had the paella marinera to take away .... and asked for chorizo to be included at a cost which I was happy to pay because the meal was beautiful, when I lifted the lid on the huge paella it steamed with heat, and the colours were mouth watering, 5 stars... wish I could give them 10 !!!

The chorizo, white beans and meatballs were delicious. We ordered the wild boar and what we received matched the image of the slow cooked medallions of beef on their website 🤔 it was very nice, but not what we ordered. The garlic prawns are the reason this isn’t a 5 star review as they weren’t prepared well still had poo in them 😞 However we shall return!

Close enough to bring back memories of food back in Spain. I'd definitely go back!

Delicious Spanish food with Excellent service.

Went there with some friends a few weeks ago, the food was very nice apart from the salad which it got lots of sand in... It's lovely apart from that.

Great meal, excellent service. Would definitely eat here again!

A real gem of a restaurant. We knew nothing about it but we’re staying in the area and thought we’d give it a try. I’m so glad we did. Gorgeous food, great service and very friendly staff. Absolutely top notch tapas bar. We will be back next time we’re in London.

There are certain cuisines that are really hard to replicate authentically. I always thought Spanish food and in particular, Tapas, was one of them. Until I discovered La Paella. Traditional, delicious and yes, authentic! You can easily forget you are in North London and imagine yourself in beautiful Spain. Highly recommend.

Lunch with a party of four, the tapas dishes were fresh and indulgent, the quality is good, nice atmosphere and great location close to the station. Recommended.

Overall, disappointing. The food was mediocre.

Visited for lunch and bitterly disappointed. Rice was overcooked, chicken was dry & still contained bones, patatas bravas tasted off and the croquettes were bland. I was convinced the croquettes themselves had come out of a freezer bag. Honest feedback given to Owner/Manager who frankly didn’t care that we’d not had a good experience, wasn’t willing to resolve any of the problems and simply kept repeating that he “sells a lot of the dishes” and therefore doesn’t understand why we didn’t like the food. Hard to believe when the restaurant was completely empty for a Sunday afternoon. Poor customer experience, poor food & overall disappointing experience.

Really disappointed with our meal here, this restaurant had the same quality of my school dinners... the paella was overcooked, chicken was dry and contained bones, calamari was bland and the croquetas had barely any chicken and were clearly had been cooked from frozen. Expressed our concerns to the manager/owner and he didn't seem to care for our feedback or apologetic...next time I'll take it as a sign when a restaurant is empty.

Amazing, genuine little Spanish restaurant, amazing food and drink and will be back ASAP 🤓
