Sangria - The Flavors of Cuba and Spain

Sangra brings together the vibrant flavors and traditions of Cuba and Spain in the heart of Mahwah, New Jersey.

For over a decade, Sangria has been known for Spanish-inspired dining, warm hospitality, and a lively neighborhood atmosphere. Today, we're beginning an exciting new chapter-combining the Spanish dishes our guests have enjoyed for years with the bold, comforting flavors of Cuban cuisine.

Our menu is designed for sharing and exploring, from traditional Spanish tapas and house specialties to Cuban-inspired favorites, all prepared with fresh ingredients and plenty of flavor. Pair your meal with one of our signature sangrias, cocktail, or a bottle of wine.

Whether you're joining us for a dinner for two, gathering with family and friends, or celebrating a special occasion, our goal is simple: great food, great hospitality, and an experience that makes you want to come back.

Vibrant restaurant with authentic Spanish/Cuba cuisine, full bar and many great entrees from which to choose. Large selection of tapas, we split the seafood/avocado salad and the stuffed figs wrapped in bacon (delicious) as well as the main course seafood/paella. Paella was well prepared and filled with shrimp, calimari, scallops and mussels. Plenty to share, and churros for dessert. Their Sangria drinks also a nice plus that pair well with this food. Highly recommend. Very casual and tonight pretty noisy but that is true for many restaurants in Bergen county NJ.

The food was absolutely flavorful and fantastic. This service was extremely lacking and poor. We had to ask numerous servers to get our waitress who is not attentive and after we spoke to her how she kept leaving our table when we were not done ordering, etc. she just made jokes about it. Every time was very unprofessional.

Sangria's food was excellent (I had a chicken and rice dish) and the chicken was cooked perfectly. The wine (chardonnay) was really good for house wine. The service could have been a bit more responsive but we enjoyed the place and will return.

Sangria was closed for renovations recently, so once they reopened we decided to go and see what changes were made. The interior looked exactly the same except for some new Cuban art on the wall. The menu, which was always limited, was even smaller than usual. The tapas and entrees were now divided into those of Spanish or Cuban origins and there were fewer choices. Some of our favorites were missing, but some new dishes were added. We ordered two of our favorite tapas, aguacate relleno and gorditos. However another one was missing-vieras cava, but we decided to try a new offering beef filled rice balls. It was very good. We were disappointed there were no specials menu. Prices on some items have risen while others were a bit lower. When I had tried to make reservations for 6:30 online, the earliest available was 7:15. When we arrived at around 7 the restaurant was not even half full. Did they not have enough wait staff? Hopefully things will improve.
