A Gem of a Restaurant
Stepping into this restaurant, one is immediately struck by the cozy atmosphere and the welcoming smiles. Percy and Rosa, our hosts for the evening, were nothing short of delightful. Their attentiveness and warmth made our dining experience truly memorable. The menu was a parade of exquisite flavors, each dish crafted to perfection. A must-visit for anyone who cherishes good food served with a touch of kindness

Overall a good but slightly disappointing meal. Some elements were excellent - the bread and aeolis were amazing - we ordered extra - and the pani puris with buratta was phenomenal. I didn't love the ceviche, but I think that was a matter of personal taste rather than poor craftsmanship. The scallops were good, but I thought it was a great shame that it was in such heavy flavors - scallops are delicious, you don't need to hide them. The blackened pork was the lowlight of the meal for me. It tasted like nothing but char and smoke. The texture was great, but the flavor was unbearable and the aftertaste was worse. I'd be curious to try their paellas- I sort of think we ordered the wrong things.

My experience at Arros QD was incredible. I knew it was amazing, however, it was above my expectations. Both Atti and Chiara went above and beyond and delivered the best service possible. Filip’s drinks were amazing too! We will be back soon! Thank you Team!

Great food, class ambience and good service too. Tried a bunch of items from the fire as well as a couple of paellas - all hit the spot. Solid wine collection too! Also quite affordably priced.

I came to Arros QD with a generous friend of mine who likes to treat me to nice, pricey restaurants. Arros, essentially a posh paella place, was a befitting suggestion by my friend, especially as I had just come back from Spain and wanted the Mediterranean vibe to linger on a little longer.

Arroz (Rice in Spanish) stands out more for its extravagant interiors than its food – our server pointed out that the design is intended to resemble a burning pan: coal-black walls with reddish/orange flame-like tones. It was almost as if we were sitting in hell or a frying pan, though, luckily, the experience was far from hellish.

We tried two of its paellas, the Mediterranean and the seafood, and enjoyed them both.
Having said that, I cannot imagine them being more special or tastier than a regular paella that you can get at a local Valencian restaurant.

The Olavidia cheese, chosen as the world's best cheese in 2021, was a good starter. The Basque blue cheesecake was dominated by the taste of blue cheese, which some people might prefer, but not me.

The staff here are really friendly and provide plenty of opportunities for a hispanophile like myself to practice my linguistic skills.

They also catered to my lemon obsession by serving me lemon slices in a lemon/mermaid dish, to which I got briefly attached.

Would I come back again? Definitely, but only if someone else is paying.

Went there with office colleagues for lunch. On entering was amazed by the open kitchen which had huge burners and flames were on and looked mesmerising.
Sat down and ordered a few options of the paella to share among us and was not at all disappointed with any one of them. Black Ink rice was surprisingly the best one of the lot.
Paired with white wine, the paella was amazing.
Overall the experience and food were amazing. A lunch well spent.

We ordered a started of pastry-like crepe with lamb minced on the inside. It was seasoned okay, with yogurt sauce and mint for dipping. Pistachio sprinkles are spread over the top of the dish.
The paella was chicken thighs and rabbit legs. It was okay i guess. Nothing to special about the warm dishes.
For desserts we ordered warm chocolate cake and almond cloud cake. Both are quite horrible in terms of texture and seasoning. As a person who baked, i can tell that the cakes are not baked well. It was so obvious because there are even cracks on the edges. They showed me how disrespectful the restaurant was to its customers because those failing desserts shouldn’t have been served to its customers.
Lastly, the waiters weren’t so friendly.
