4/10This is a tourist trap. We booked given the good reviews. But first surprise the croquetas were cold inside, so they changed them. 2nd time were ok. The arroz caldoso with bogavante was sad to eat, rice was not properly cooked and bogavante was only the shell. I would not repeat or recommend.

We were traveling as a couple. This was our second visit to Madrid, and our first time at this restaurant. We had mixed paella ,steamed mussels and rosé wine. Both were delicious, and the portions were just right. The waiter was also cheerful and polite. If we have the opportunity to visit Madrid again, we would like to try a different type of paella. Thank you very much.

6.5/10The place is beautiful, with a charming and authentic atmosphere. However, the service felt rushed and not particularly friendly. The paella was just average for our taste — not bad, but it didn’t really stand out. Overall, it’s a nice spot to visit for the setting, but the experience could be more pleasant with a bit more warmth and attention.

We celebrated my daughter's 17th birthday here with a dinner. Take the menu of the day which includes three entradas to share y pan, paella of your choice, a bottle of wine and water for every 2 persons and a superb dessert.

8/10Yummy, yummy food, sangria. Quite a large pan of paella for 2. Lovely music, helpful staff. Glad I saw The Fork's promo for La Paella Real! Just the type of setting and food we wanted during our 7-day stay in Madrid (part of 24 days in Spain - 5th trip in 18 yrs - so we know what we want). We love Spain y Mexico!!

We had dinner at La Paella Real on two occasions during our seven nights in Madrid. Perfect paellas each time (de mariscos first and then de rape y chipirones second) - so flavorful and plentiful at very reasonable prices - in a cozy setting with welcoming and kind staff. We also enjoyed gambas al ajillo each time … the best we’ve tried in Madrid so far. The white wine was nice, too. Thanks to Gerardo and Edwin for their kind service.

I don’t quite understand the unfavorable reviews this place has received. We thought it was tremendous from start to finish. We’ve been coming to Spain for years and this was undoubtedly one of the very best and reasonably priced meals we’ve had in Madrid. The service was amazing. The croquetas were creamy and crispy simultaneously and the paella mixta was perfectly done with just the right amount of soccarat to give it that perfectly caramelized toasty flavor. We had tinto de verano to drink and the meal came out under €60. We really enjoyed it!

8.5/10The food was great and delivered relatively quickly. However, we had an unpleasant experience when it came to payment. We were a group of nine, and after everyone had paid, the waiter became quite aggressive, insisting that one payment was missing. Each guest showed proof of their card payment, and after some confusion, it turned out the waiter himself had handed the paper receipt to one of the guests — the very reason he thought a payment was missing. It was a disrespectful and uncomfortable moment that overshadowed the meal. Aside from that, the food was good but quite expensive. I ended up paying €30 for my share, which felt a bit much given the overall experience.

3/10The seafood paella was really poor, the seafood was badly overcooked and overall, the restaurant was very overpriced for the standard of food & service we received. The service waiter on arrival was unfriendly making visit a poor experience. Very disappointing!
