Lola Cocina Spanish Restaurant Crows Nest

Excellente! Finely decorated Spanish restaurant with great atmosphere. We ordered 6 tappas and a squid ink paella for two. Very filling for 4 guests. And a 1.5L jug of sangria to rinse it all down. All dishes were really delicious. I strongly recommend sardinas fritas, so fresh and nicely fried I ate the entire fish. Meatball quite gamey for beef that tasted like lamb. Also on the tougher side. For the price I think they could have used bigger prawns and black mussels. Just one waitress at the time and she was super helpful and friendly. We had a great lunch experience here!

This restaurant has been here for a while but we’ve not had it before.
Came for lunch and ordered some tapas. Very quiet even though it’s a Saturday.

The octopus and the stuffed peppers were delicious. Octopus was super tender and flavourful. The charcuterie board was nice too. Chicken was a bit too charred for me, but boyfriend loved it.

Good and prompt service. Reasonable price.
Will come back again.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal here. The waitress was friendly, and everything we ordered was delicious. We got the beef meatballs stuffed with manchego, creamy prawns in white wine, and the mixed paella. Would love to come back here to try the other yummy options on the menu!

Fantastic! So nice to find a local restaurant with real atmosphere, buzzing all night long. Food was delicious, reasonably priced and well portioned. Staff are friendly and attentive. Highly recommended for a fun night out. We can’t wait to go back!

Lovely Spanish restaurant with nice ambiance, although with the front door open, the street noise wasn’t as pleasant. The drinks and wine list were extensive including a few interesting selections like vermouth. The tapas were quite generous given the price. Would love to go back when there is music on but they hold it on weekdays.

Excellent choice for a casual night out with friends and family. Simple menu doesn’t overwhelm you with infinite variations but each seems to be a good pick. We went for a seafood platter for two, a seafood paella for two and a main of braised beef to share among three of us. Excellent quality and the variety of the platter made the meals so much more colourful. Highly recommend.

Amazing spanish meal. Tapas style and very well done. Loved the sangria and all the dishes were well displayed and had amazing flavour. Went with my husband and we had a chicken, pork belly and he got a seafood, and 2 veggie dishes. Was the perfect amount for 2 people. I definitely will come back. The waitress was very knowledgeable and friendly. I want to make it back on a Saturday to see the salsa dancing!

Good food, reasonable price (we spent $380 across 7 adults). I specifically really enjoyed the Boquerones. Paella was okay . The staff were friendly and professional. Overall, our family was happy with the whole experience.

Nothing like great company while enjoying Spanish food. The service at Lola Cocina is friendly and fast. The food delicious and atmosphere cosy. Good spot for date nights or time with your friends.

Incredible Spanish tapas food, fast fresh and absolutely delicious. All the dishes we tried were fantastic. Two of us ordered the seafood paella for two along with four small dishes, ended up being too much food but made for yummy leftovers the next day!!! Cheese plate was nice, great way to sample some delicious Spanish cheese. All the tapas was exceptional and very high quality. Make sure to finish up dinner with a creme catalana :) cant wait to return!

We had the Carne platter which was loaded with a tasty selection of meats. Very enjoyable. It’s a fun family friendly space and the service is excellent. The Flamenco dancing was fun to watch and made for a great atmosphere. We will definitely be back soon.

Delicious food, appealing atmosphere, helpful staff and great service.

The menu offers a wide variety of delicious and mouthwatering tapas, paellas and drinks. We’d love to visit again. We'd recommend it as a nice place to go with friends.

Would be awesome if they replace the plastic straws.

We celebrated our anniversary recently and the food was amazing! Real authentic flavour. Look forward to our next visit.

Brilliant service, went above and beyond for my Dad’s Birthday. Food was well presented and tasty. Thank you!

Lola Cocina, a hidden gem in the vibrant streets of Crows Nest, offers an authentic Spanish culinary experience. The extensive tapas menu is great, each dish showcasing the rich culinary traditions of Spain. Their wine list is also fantastic .

Great cheese and tasty Jamon Serrano.
I really enjoyed house white & rose wine. The portion of paella is large and more than enough for 3 ppl. Don't miss out Flamenco dance on Saturdays.

Food was so good that I’m already planning to go back. The entree was so good and the cheese was so worth it. The paella was delicious and the seafood in it tasted amazing. I even got a piece of calamari that looked like a Boobah ... worth it 🤪🤪

Highly recommend Lola.

An authentic Spanish tapas restaurant in Crows Nest - perfect for meetups with friends of four, and for dates. Dishes are thoughtfully crafted and delicious.

Ambience: the sounds of Spanish guitar instrumentals playing popular hits over the last 50 years 👌

Highly recommend - tiger prawns in olive oil and steak.

We had a great experience, and absolutely will be back!

Excellent place for Spanish Food. Quality Tapas and Paella and really good service. Suitable for groups or couples, with a really lively atmosphere.
The food felt authentic and whilst not mind blowing, did not disappoint. I recommend the chicken paella, the chorizo Tapas and the calamari Tapas.
I would say the Paella could do more flavour. The pork belly looked amazing and was perfectly cooked but it was lacking flavour. It is also essential that you est everything warm. Terrible photos due to the lighting.

Great food. Every single tapas was awesome. The squid ink paella was the highlight, great flavour and generous portion. It is however not cheap.
