Even with that, the food really impressed me.
Everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and satisfying. You can tell they care about quality.

The lamb was very tender, chicken flavor was good, and the spice mixture with the rice and vegetables was very good! The tandoor was delicious and the dip it came with was spicy and fresh. Loved the Yemeni Tea and the soup.“

““This would be considered an excellent restaurant in Spain.” “The best tres leches cake I’ve ever had.” These are direct quotes from our Spanish exchange student. She was missing the foods from her home, and a true Spanish restaurant is hard to find. A friend said he heard about Sangria Y Tapas so we immediately changed our plans and headed to Westlake. She smiled the entire time we were there and spoke Spanish with the owner a mile a minute. She said it did her heart good and the food was truly Spanish. The service was spectacular! We will definitely be crossing over to the west side to visit this fabulous establishment again!“

“10/10 great aladdins
i called last night 930pm 3/31 and i spoke to a worker who directed me to a STELLAR manager. my power was out all night & she was very knowledgeable on my allergy (celiac disease). its very difficult to find safe eats for gluten allergy with cross contamination and risks of not knowing immediately if my body will be harmed by the food. i believe the restaurant closed at 10pm & this manager was awesome in accommodating me even so late at night and working with me on the phone for allergy requests because of door dash barriers. kudos to the chef, the worker who got her manager & definitely the manager herself!!! so thankful to have a full belly in such a crazy day. the manager even said the chef had cleaned off their cutting boards so it would for sure be safe for celiac cross contamination & the chef would just re-clean them after. thanks so much team!!!! great job!!!!“

“Great service, awesome recommendations and amazing tastes!!“
