Encasa Restaurant

First time trying paella and it was AMAZING. Quite pricey but you can get 2 servings (which is the minimum) and can feed 3 people! The lamb skewers were charcoaled nicely and didn’t have any gamey taste. I was also obsessed with their sour dough - freshly baked!! Will definitely be back

What a great place to experience amazing Tapas and Spanish cuisine! Every single dish was wonderful - perfectly cooked and amazing flavours. The White Sangria was wonderful and the Spanish version of a "Creme Broulee" was the best I've ever had - anywhere. The service provided by Matteo was absolutely top-notch too. This place is totally "chef's kiss" and will definitely come back as soon as possible! Loved it!

Definitely one of the best Spanish restaurant.
We have been to both , the one in city and this one in Lane cove.
The vibes is better in lane cove, while the food is consistently good across both .

Expected 35-40 minutes for paella , while tapas are served fairly quick,
The restaurant was busy for a weekday evening when we went, while there is a good flow in service.

We enjoy all the dishes we have ordered!
The marisco paella was so flavoursome! Totally worth the waiting.
The texture of crème brûlée is not like the pudding texture but more creamy and smooth, the sweetness is just perfect !! And of course , the cracking of the caramelised sugar on top , 👌👌

Mataio thank you so much for you and your team's outstanding service, the food was delicious as always, your cocktails were fantastic 😍 thank you for accommodating our Molly even with her own water bowl....much appreciated 👍

Delicious food very fresh prawns on Paella, nice customer service as well

Absolutely divine! Best Spanish restaurant I've ever been to!
We have been more than three times and none have disapointed. Outstanding food and very friendly staff. Creamy mash potato, very well seasoned octopus and mouthwatering paella is just a taste of what they have to offer. Highly Recomended!

Amazing food. Every dish was delicious, and the Sangria was so good too. The beef cheek dish was delicious but quite rich so we didn't finish it as it was the last dish to come out, and also because we did over order and finished all the other dishes. All these were for two people so we were stuffed as! It was for a birthday celebration and although the staff said they weren't allowed to write a happy birthday message on a dish as such (and they didn't have a dessert menu), they were so kind in giving us an ice cream treat with a birthday candle - totally surprised the birthday person! Staff were very friendly, attentive and provided an excellent service. Thank you so much!

Encasa lane cove has by far the best service, best sangria in Sydney and best service! Mateo and his lovely team provide you with diligent service and great food. Highly recommend for a family meal or just a quick bit of tapas! Mateo and his team deserve the highest praises and are invaluable to your experience at Encasa

I went to Encasa for lunch today and had some authentic bocadillos which were absolutely delicious, the flavour was phenomenal. The garlic prawns did not disappoint. I could eat this for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But most importantly the service was impeccable, I was served by A VERY HANDSOME COLOMBIAN MAN CALLED MATEO.

We had a lovely lunch that was tasty and well served. We ordered the potatoes, omelette, octopus, shrimp, bread, lamb, and mushrooms. The best dish was the omelette and the shrimp and the one that’s needs just a bit more flavour is the octopus. Overall we really enjoyed ourselves and they even gave us a glass of champagne to celebrate our special occasion.

As lived in Barcelona for 3 years, I have to say that this Spanish restaurant is the best ever in Sydney! MUST TRY!!
Very local and brings me back to those memories in Spain. Staff MAX is very nice and warm-hearted. He let us feel what is service indeed! He is very helpful and always get noticed when we needed service. Thank you MAX and Encasa!

Beautiful food and even better customer service. Waiter Jack is amazing! Well mannered and respectful. Great vibe. Thank you. We will be back.

Every tapas dish we ordered was perfect; better than anything I had in Barcelona.

Lamb skewers were tender and rich.
Patatas bravas were on point.
The salami had the perfect texture and flavour.
Croquets.. oh my god the croquets..

The traditional sangria was the best I've tasted, light and sweet.

Service was very friendly and with a smile.

Menu pricing is very good considering the quality.

A truly 5 star experience. I can't wait to have my birthday here, any excuse to come back.

Great find! Wandered in hungry. I’ve always loved Spanish food. The pisco sour is excellent. So were the two tapas I tried - the patatas bravas and the grilled lamb. Nice cozy place too. And great service.
Returned post Covid on a Saturday night. The food is as fantastic as ever. I love the paella negra! The gambas are always good too. Service and the food coming out was slow. Not sure if they were understaffed or just having teething problems with reopening.

Amazing Spanish food and a cozy ambiance. Paella was amazing, and happy to find a legit one in Sydney at last! Tapas were also delicious - loved the meatballs. Fun tip, order some bread to mop up the sauces. Service was warm and friendly too.

If you're looking for great Spanish food, this is the place to go. We ordered a few tapas and they were fantastic. We like the fact that they came out pipping hot out of the kitchen. Even the bread rolls were fresh from the oven!
Only drawback is that it can be busy and some food may take a little longer. But it's well worth the wait and don't forget to make reservation as place was packed even on a weekday night!

I ordered the seafood paella plus the squid ink pork belly bao as a side and both were very delicious. The wait time is quite long for the paella but it was well worth it. The paella was full of flavour but not too oily. The servings were decent, perhaps a little small for $28 per person. Seafood was definitely fresh. The pork belly was very crunchy and melts in your mouth!

I’ve been to this place a few times and so nice to be back and see it bustling after covid restrictions have eased across Sydney. The staff are energised, they’re enjoying themselves and it’s buzzing so you’re already having a good time. Then there’s the food-no matter what you order it’s fresh and delicious.
300mls of Sangria for $10 and you’re in for an awesome evening. Best for groups so that you can try something of everything!!

Great food,good service and ambient.
Lamb skewers and patatas bravas is a must try. definitely will go back again to try other items.

This place is amazing. The food is delicious and 100% Spanish; the paella is the best and the Sangria is wonderful! Staff are friendly and pretty kind! Great experience!
