Me and my gf went with the sea food paella and croquets, pallea were flavourful and had nice amount of sea food, the croquets were a bit tasteless. The complimentary bread was amazing- fresh soft and warm. Atmosphere is very unique, like an hidden gem, there was also live performers passing between the tables singing classics
Pasta and white beans soup was really good, the musicians were accommodating they know how to play Spanish songs, the only thing I didn't like was the bread it was a bit hard, but the rest of the food was divine and prices are very affordable, restroom was clean, coffee was ok too

The paella pasta and caldo gallego (soup with chorizo) is quite salty. Paella valencia tastes good as usual. The zomato deal made everything so sulit! Cordon blu is big and with mashed potato. The ambiance is very classy. The servers are very helpful and gave advice on what to order. Hehe
Personally think Albs is ine of the best Spanish restaurants around. It's an institution already, they've been around for a long time.
I always enjoyed eating buffet here.
Zomato Gold cant be used for Paella so we ordered Lengua and Salpicao for that.
Their paella is meaty and has crab and other seafood. First time eating Lengua and it’s very tender and the sauce is super tasty. Salpicao isn’t too salty and mashed potato matches perfectly with it.
Ambience at the second floor is very quiet and peaceful. There are musicians that can also play for you.
Alba is one of the "go to places" to eat in Poblacion Makati.. You will experience great Spanish cuisine via their ala carte or buffet. Their salpicao, callos and paella are simply the best among others. Ambiance is cool and service is above par. I will definetely recommend this place.
For lunch, we ordered ala carte instead of the buffet. We were seated at the second floor, and one major reason why I only gave 4 stars was the service - I'm not sure if it's because most people were having the buffet anyway, but the staff weren't so attentive in terms of taking our order and so.
On the food though, we ordered paella valenciana and paella margherita, as well as baked clams, lengua, callos and beef salpicao. If you want more significantly flavored rice in the paella, then I suggest you go for the valenciana vs the margherita. My favorite was the beef salpicao, which was served with a little of mashed potato.
Beautifully decorated in Spanish style. The selection on the menu was sufficient and it was very hard to make a decision. The price was very reasonable and the portion was quite large. We ordered the seafood paella which was much more than we can eat. The food was tasty, service was quick and the ambiance was perfect. We were there at a time of day when it wasn’t busy. The location was conveniently located in a very commercial area but unfortunately, parking is not easy to find in the area. I would come back and try more dishes on the menu.
Still homey and food are still authentic and delicious. Quality never waned despite being in the business for so long. The band serenading the patrons also add to the charm.
Cochinillo is great but their tapas are the best ones. Not exactly a fan of callos but I enjoyed theirs immensely. Sangria was also good :)
Also for some reason, I enjoyed their unlimited bread so much 😂
Great for family dinners and maybe romantic dates, too.
Food is great and the ambiance is very nice. I personally love the Paella Valenciana and Paella Negra. Excellent deal with Zomato Gold as well as we were able to order more dishes to try.
