Baruhlo

Had a birthday dinner and the food is just AMAZING. I especially loved their Paella which had fresh seafood, so delicious. Good vibe, lots of parking places in a quiet neighbourhood. Just one thing I want to point out is lack of professional serving. Two of us ordered two tapas as entree and two mains with a side, I was expecting we get food slowly to enjoy these but unfortunately they were all served almost at once which was not very ideal as we had to just jump into the paella as I didn't want to miss that hot paella while we still have a lot left for our entree. Also when we were waiting for our dessert, the server never wipe the table (like veges and fish still on table) until we actually ask for it when dessert was served. Because their food is amazing I would definitely come back but it would be better if servers are more professional.

Barulho is one of the best spots to go in Auckland for tapas. Every dish is carefully curated and the menu is so easy to order from, because everything is so good. This is the perfect place to go with one other person or a small group, with the tapas, mains and sides all being perfect for sharing too. The excellent food is matched with fantastic drinks and service too.

-delicious food, easy parking -if you'll order prawns, ask whether they are peeled or full -perfect restaurant if you are on a keto diet -espresso martini too bitter. It needs a little bit more sugar. $20. -portions are good -best among what we got was Ceviche. Might be the best in Auckland. - Reasonably priced mostly. Entrees are around $25, share portions around $45. Lower end of the prestigious restaurants price wise. -octopus was delicious, but it was in one piece and it was served with a spoon as a shared dish. I had to use my knife to cut it which would not be preferable in a work related/business guests etc type of dinner. Negative: it's too loud. In summer it may not be this bad, but a small crowded space, full of people... Suggestion to potential customers: If you'll be with friends, hanging out on a Friday Barulho is great. If you need a more professional environment, you may arrange Faraday Bar (amazing wine selection, impeccable service) which is in front of Barulho and they used to provide food/tapas from Barulho. (I don't know if they still do it. But that's a better environment for business related arrangements)
