The Boma — Restaurant in Alhaurín el Grande

The menu let's this place down and unfortunately the food didn't wow us. The staff and their professionalism was faultless, very friendly and helpful.

For the price seems expensive, the fish pie was not as it seems and no mention of the bulked out salmon that was more evident than the remainder of the fish ingredients on the menu for that particular dish....
