The first time i had lunch buffet at Alba in Tomas Morato, Quezon City was way back in college: late 90's. I was not a big fan of paella back then and the major draw for me was the cochinillo. Since that 1st time I made it a point to go back again and again to enjoy one of the... More

My family and I have been dining at Alba's for the past several years and the experience has always been pleasant and consistent. Whether for lunch or dinner, the buffet is recommended as it basically provides you with a wide array of the bestsellers from their menu of authentic Spanish delicacies. Must try the cochinilo and canonigo. If not in... More

We got deals from a groupon website to try Alba's (Alabang branch). Dinner buffet was good, my parents loved it. a limited spread but everything tasted good. The thing I loved the most about Alba's: While eating, a trio of musicians are serenading dining patrons in each table. It was awesome! My mom even made a song request and they... More

This is a classic Spanish restaurant which have been around for quite some time. The last time I ate here was during a send-off dinner for my brother who was leaving for abroad. We visited their Westgate Alabang branch. We were a group of 10 and feasted on their delicious food especially the paella, callos, etc. I would love to... More

What's not to love about Spanish food! The spectrum of taste from all the is set at the buffet table will make you want to take your time going through each fare but they are just too much to handle. Delicious chorizo paella, seafood paella, the callos was perfectly done (soft bits of pic knuckles and jamon in sticky sauce),... More

Their buffet menu is pretty extensive, and for it's price, I'd say it's worth it. Lots of appetizers, two kinds of paella and numerous meat dishes too. Their paella doesn't seem to have the "socarrat" and I have been going here for years and I have never dug up any socarrat in their paellas. Nevertheless, it's still good. The interiors... More
