Im quite picky with my Spanish as i usually eat it home made cooked from a Spanish relative. But only very rare that i would decide and feel like eating Spanish out, well basically when my Spanish connection is unavailable. Very few Spanish restaurants that i know of and i was recommended to come try Simply Spanish. Yes definitely simply Spanish as the dishes here are very simple Spanish food which is how it should be, not classy but very tasty delicious food in the tummy. The paella here is just as good as the home made one. Not runny, slightly sticky and slightly crunchy on the bottom base if you are lucky to get that section from the paella pan. Great flavours in the paella, seafood and the chicken one are great but i would personally go with the seafood one. Quick service and quick turn around where customers are in and out very quickly. Filling to the stomach and satisfying to the pocket.
The paella is sublime but so are the croquettes, the zucchini flowers, the prawns and the calamari! I didn't try any of the desserts because I dislike cinnamon but I was quite satisfied anyway. The drinks menu has some delicious cocktails. It's a very busy place and get very noisy. If you make arrangements to meet someone, make sure which Simply Spanish is arranged- there are two.
