Most of the food was reheated and the patatas brava was crinkle cut frozen chips with a sauce. We will never go there again. Prices were also very high.

This restaurant is absolutely gorgeous, it is incredibly warm and beautiful inside, the food is a whole other level, fresh, good quality, well presented and good value for money. The service was warm and nice, very professional, specially the host, attentive and professional. We will come back.

Never again! Very overpriced to start with. Quality of food very poor, cheap and not fresh! Group of 8 and we left hungry and totally unsatisfied. The term authentic spanish restaurant should be taken of the window of this place. Just because you hang some bullfighter posters on a wall does not equate to being real spanish restaurant! Learn to cook a paella first please. Ambience was bland just like the food. Better places to go to.

Excellent food and service! Very good, real authentic Spanish food. The paella was the best I ever had. The sangria is so nice, we could drink it all night. The Spanish churros are to die for and the chocolate dipping! You need to try too. Overall highly recommend for a great night out.

Recently we bought an internet deal for $39 for this place for apparently a $100 value.

We booked on a tuesday night for the following evening. Upon arriving they didn't have our booking, but still had a table for us. We had Sangria to start which was lovely. I have never tried it before so cannot compare but I liked it.....i little too much. Tables are very close together, felt as though I couldn't have certain conversations as they were personal and didn't want others hearing.

Our deal included Sangria, 2 tapas entree's and a large Paella to share, apparently that was worth $100, according to the menu it was worth $67.

Tapas entree's were ok, nothing to really rave about. Chicken and Seafood Paella was nice but was expecting more than 2 wingettes of chicken. Dessert was funny. Ordered the special Churro Mix which came without 2 stated ingredients. Churros were ok, cake was out of a packet and the ice cream was finished off with 100s and 1000s......yeah! I felt like I was 4 again!

All of that was ok though. The worst thing was the service, absolutely terrible. Waited half an hour to give our order, and basically every time we wanted something it took ages to get someones attention and then it took ages to get what we wanted. Seeing as though most people on that evening had pre paid vouchers, I would think it would've been a great opportunity to upsell extras, apparently not at Colmao Flamenco.

We finally got a night out with no kids and we left disappointed with a less than average meal. We ordered the $30 banquet, the chorizo was dry and over cooked. It was served with stale day old bread (at least) that looked like it was from a supermarket.

The paella was ok nothing to rave about and the churros was also disappointing.
Presentation of the meals was great but taste, quality and value is poor. The service was also lacking, no one checked on our meals, smiled or was generally friendly.

Ok the food at this place wasn't that bad, the Paella was good but not the best. Food was tasty but not the best. What disappointed me about this place was really bad service. We had a table of 6 and the waiters would take away plates while people were still eating on them. Really poor, I felt like they were rushing me to finish my plate of food. Pick up your game, very rude.

I was disappointed, didn't like it all after I had heard good things. Their service was chaotic, a long wait for the food which was average and really not that good value for money.
