Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"We liked everything that we ordered. Delicious, not too salty, warm food served with free bread rolls to go along with your meal. We'll try again other dishes, on our next visit. Oh, and the staff/crew are always there to check if u still need anything. Refills drinking water from time to time."
"I would give 7 stars if i could! The food and servers (& musicians) are absolute topnotch! They give such attention to detail that they don’t stop filling up your water haha I highly recommend this spot for authentic Spanish cuisine (the best paella negra & gambas) and service/hospitality that really sets the bar high. We didn’t ask for a birthday cake but when they overheard us that one of us had her birthday, they gave us a small cake with “Feliz cumpleaños and a candle”. Such a sweet thoughtful gesture. Really left nothing to be desired. We are surely coming back—the training that the staff have must be on such high standards and hopefully they are happy to serve because they’re compensated well. Muchas gracias!"

"07/08/25. Spanish Despedida Brunch with friends. Alba is one of our Go To restaurants for fine food and top notch service. GOOD: 1. Complimentary starter bread basket with rolls and baguette slices was served hot and fragrant. 2. Ensalada del Caezar was served on chilled plates... Very proper rarely experienced in restaurants these days. 3. Hot Tapas were delicious together with warm bread. 4. Paella Valenciana as always...a crowd pleaser. 5. Service was top notch. Not intrusive but always ready to refill water as necessary. Changed plate and changed cutlery when main course was served. COULD BE IMPROVED: 1. The New Zealand Oysters was expensive at P1750 for 6 pieces. May i suggest to make it 8 pieces. We had a memorable and fun despedida brunch with full tummies. Thank you."
"Fancy dining experience at a reasonable price. Alba exudes that Hispanic vibe with their interior design and Spanish dishes. Every dish we ordered tasted sumptuous, plus they looked oh so fine, too. I think eating here is always a deal since you get to savor flavorful meals without spending too much. It’s really an experience you shouldn’t miss. To sum up, if you’re in Alabang area and you’re craving Spanish food, Alba is the place to be."
"We ate lunch there at my sister's birthday. Suprisingly we are the only ones as the staff were very attentive and gave us a fast and efficient service. The food was so good, great presentation and texture of the food. My favorite was the bean soup with black sausage and cabbage. Great if you want some elegance and fine dining experience with their atmospheric spanish music."
"Classic Alba similar to their other branches, great Spanish dishes cooked to perfection with a band to seranade. Order paella ahead - a must for every visit - as it takes a while, then decide on what sides and other dishes. Located inside Westgate, parking upfront the store will be unlikely - suggest tl drop off passengers and find available parking nearby. Available indoor and outdoor seating, best to call and reserve ahead if big group."
"One of the best Spanish Restaurant taste and experience. The food are just the right amount of seasoning. The service is great and the ambiance is above average (the place looks old though). The place is highly recommended for dates and for taste savvy people. This restaurant will not fail you at a very fair price. A bit of advice is reserve the place since sometimes it gets crowded. Order the Paella first since it takes more than 30 minutes to cook. Sometimes the service is slow especially the food, but it may be because of the quality of food that takes time to cook."
