    We were booked with the 50% off. When we mentioned that when we arrived, we were told no it was not 50% off.

    This is our "go to" restaurant in Fanabe. We try others but always come back. From the moment John greets you at the entrance until you have your free liqueur with your bill it is always a pleasure. Food is excellent. Try the Chateaubriand for two flambe at your table, €56 with a bottle of wine. Service is great too, friendly attentive waiters. Menu is varied & reasonably priced. Altogether a great restaurant.

    was there for my friend's son's birthday and the last night of our holiday (we always go here the last night of our holiday!), food is fabulous, service is brilliant and they put up balloons and did a dessert with a candle in for my friend's son, who was totally embarrassed as any 14 year old would be ... it's those extra touches that make this restaurant so good!

    Another great visit to Colala. The food is very good (we had sirloin steak and seafood paella). Good value for money and a really nice welcome into the restaurant l. It was good to see a lot of the same staff as previous times. The only slightly negative thing on this occasion was we were not asked if we wanted a dessert as it seemed they were quite busy and forgot to check. Apart from that, everything was great.

    4 of us enjoyed a meal here last night. 2 had curry with rice & chips, ample amount for 1 of them, the other said there wasn't quite enough curry. My husband had chicken in pepper sauce, he thought more than enough chicken. I had grilled tuna with fried garlic potatoes. We had a litre of sangria between 3 of us plus a pint of beer. Total bill was £74. Have been here before and definitely recommend it. Great food & staff.

    They had forgotten to reserve our table when we got there, but it was no problem for them to sort. All of our food was beautiful - would highly recommend the local fish 'Colala' style. The barraquito was the perfect end to the meal.

    The service and staff were fantastic! The food less so. My scampi starter was basically all thick coating , stodgy and very little fish. Our pizza had minimal veg and only 6 slices of pepperoni. Not generous sadly. Wouldn’t go back.

    The Team at Colala make each visit a very memorable occasion. Since we first discovered this restaurant, we have come back time and time again. 👏👏👏👏 We have been here for a week in Tenerife this January and we have visited Colala 3 times. Every nights experience was fantastic. From the greeting on the way in, to the service and engagement at the table. The team always make you most welcome and are extremely personable, and genuinely interested in you as a customer. The atmosphere is relaxed and authentic. The food and service are exceptional. They have a great and wide menu to choose from and we love it there. My daughter has tried new dishes there such as the fillet steak with rochford sauce on the side. A total winner👍 It’s top marks from the Irish visitors, who will keep coming back for more. Best wishes. John & Melissa.

    Although we booked online the same day, we were given a table in a prime position. All of the staff are really friendly and always remember you from the previous visit.

    My meal was very much frozen ready made food. My mushroom sauce had 2 pieces of mushroom and was a weird yellow colour. My coke was coke zero when full fat was asked for. It was rushed over filled and very over priced. Waiters were nice. My partner enjoyed his meal and said his steak was perfect. Maybe its what you order on the day. We have been before and it was good.

    Disappointing compared to last time we visited , booked this 5 weeks in advance but we were put through to the back street side of the restaurant where there was a lot of footfall and you were rubbing shoulders with the people passing , food was ok but 0 ambience .
