The food was excellent, and the service was exceptional. My waiter was an older, distinguished man who took very good care of us during dinner. I recommend this establishment for the food and the service.

A memorable Portuguese culinary experience in every detail. The restaurant has ample parking and the locale is clean and nicely decorated. They have an assorted and well priced menu that offer something special for everyone. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and multilingual (Portuguese, Spanish, English). They are particularly well know for their Paella and Sangria. Whether it’s a dinner for two or a group of 12 or more, the service will be equally exceptional.

So I've been going to Iberia for over 14 years. I went this past Saturday. I ordered a paella marinara seafood. Garlic shrimp and the meat platter. With half a pitcher of sangria. The sangria is always amazing. The garlic shrimp was delicious as well. The paella was extremely bland. & so was the rice chips were not as crispy or tasty as well. I also noticed that the customer service was extremely bad. The waiter had no interest in hosting a table. And he lacked personality. Which i found very strange because we would always get amazing customer service. He never came by to ask if we were ok or if we needed anything in addition. When we finally got the bill. It was 3 of us 2 adults one teenager. The gratuity was already included. Hey i get it i understand I'm a waitress as well ... but he didn't deserve 20% . Party of 5 or more should def get gratuity included. But party of 3 is reaching. I will never go there again or any of my patrons or colleagues family members. Etc and i will be posting this review on all social platforms ( big following so ppl are aware of what's going in there ) i hope that they improve the quality of service for future patrons. My email is [email protected] If any one would like to reach out to me for more questions. And by the way the total of the bill was 180.00

The food was delicious! I had the jumbo prawn shrimps with chips, rice, and vegetables. It was outstanding! The prawns were huge (3) and flavored well with garlic and butter. Others in my party had the calamari appetizer, white bean soup, and salmon entree. All were superb. The marinara sauce accompanying the calamari was very tasty and authentic. We also ordered the seafood paella to go, and enjoyed it for dinner that night when we got home.

Visited this restaurant during a trip to Newark, and it went to my list of recommended places when traveling. Great food and big portions, friendly staff, wonderful ambiance, great for families or for a date. Really enjoyed our time there.

Normally I love coming here, but tonight not so much. I ordered the orange duck which I've had before, and it wasn't even the same dish I've had orange sauce? More like beef gravy. When I first came in no one helped us for a while except for giving us bread. Don't get me wrong the bread and salad was good but if your eating bread you would like at least a water with it. Second since our food came no one came over once to check to see if we needed anything and we are completely done with our meal! I even tried to wave down the waiter but he looked like he saw me and turned away quickly! I just wanted to order some rice because that is what I had last time with the duck... Very disappointed.

Surprisingly bland food. How is this place so popular? Who eats this tasteless crap?

Not exactly my type of restaurant in terms of the vive and the decor but the food is good. I was there with some friends, I ordered the seafood combination and man, don’t be fool about the size, the plate was huge, four people could easily eat it. Four starts because of the price/amount relationship and because of the staff, very friendly. The calamari was overcooked though :(

OH EM GEE! Had the grilled octopus, so much food and the garden salad was also delicious! The flounder stuffed with seafood my Esposito ordered was amazing, will have that next time!

Had the seafood for 2 and was very disappointed. The presentation of the plate was a mess. Appeared as if they just dumped whatever seafood was laying around in the kitchen on a platter. The calamari looked like onion rings and was hard and rubbery. The photo on the right is from another restaurant in the same area. Do you see the difference?
People super friendly; I have been coming here for 40 years and the paella is the best I have had of all the places I have been to, around the world.

When you walk in from the restaurant you are greeted with flies and fish smell but once you seat yourself and see all the families and couples enjoying their delicious seafood dishes you feel good. The 3 of us enjoyed this seafood platter because it looked so good on the table next to us. The rolls are also delicious, tastes like it was freshly baked. My friend who had been there many times before told me about their fresh bakery close by. So no wonder the bread was so good.

Time changes things no matter where you go. I went to Iberia’s looking for excellent sangria and rodezio. They no longer serve rodezio the old way, sliced from swords, but the plate of assorted meats was awesome! The sangria was also fantastic! The service also rocked! A must place to visit!

Very disappointed with the food and service here.. my family and I have been coming here for a good 15 years last night will be the last time we ever come here... The quality of food is just terrible everything but the beans we ordered was cold .. everything tasted reheated just terrible.. I guess post covid they had to figure how to get money now there's a 18- 20% gratuity included on any size party which is terrible because the waiter I had was terrible didn't bring us water didn't ask if we wanted more drinks didn't care about checking on us for anything.. the menu is more than half the size it use to be . when I asked to speak to the manager alll of a sudden no one spoke or understood English very frustrating... I will be finding a new place to create new and better memories with my family. If you liked microwaved ,cold under seasoned food with rude and terrible service throw your money away right here..
