Paella is just amazing but every single item is exceptional. Don't judge a book by its cover, from the outside it may not be your first choice, but I think it may be the best restaurant in Newark.

Maia Wailana

for appetizer get the garlic shrimps , mussels and chorizo . for dinner the grilled prawns , seafood cioppino , don't skimp -Fornos of Spain a gem with fabulous service and exceptionally delicious food!!

Lenny Gallo

Absolutely phenomenal! Their skirt steak is to dye for. Remember, all dishes here come with complimentary salad , rice , and veggies . Come prepared to eat.

Andres and Fernando were excellent at Fornos in Newark. I had the paella seafood paella it was one of the best I’ve ever had excellent tender in the owners maître d’ and staff were excellent as well

Haven't been here in years and it's still as delicious as I remember. HUGE portions . Grilled octopus and Paella Valenciana are my staples but equally look forward to the bread and potato sides.

Kati Bambrick Rodriguez

The vegetarian paella was good!. For birthdays you can reserve the spot under the disco ball. Many multi generational families. A great spot for a family celebration.

Billy Robison

Red sangria is great, as is garlic shrimp . Octopus is tender and delicious. Portions are freaking huge. Try the paella ! And the service is great.

Paula Buzzo

Service on point. Food was delicious. Order Salmon Fornos

Akilah Akridge

Excellent service and food! Had the shrimp in champagne sauce. Couldn't even finish it! Delightful

Janna Talbert Lehe

The duck with pear is perfection. The tres leches cake was also heavenly. Too much food!

Twinkle Denoyo

Paella marinara ! They also give you free salad with the dinner .

Gt Copper Steth

Love love love the grilled Chilean Seabass with garlic sauce .....make sure you come HUNGRY, large portions . Well worth the cost!!!!

Erika Finnimore

The Paella Valenciana is incredible. One is enough for 2 people.

Frank Rimalovski

If you like sangria and you like garlic , you'll be very happy here!

Jonathan Yu

Get the paella and the calamari . Nice dining room atmosphere.

Veronica Millar

The Sangria is amazing! I had the Veal Tenderloins with peppers , mushrooms , & sausage and it was great! Definitely recommend this place, especially for a B'day celebration!!!!

Jodi Luminiello

If you haven't tried this place, you MUST! The red sangria , garlic shrimp & the monk fish are just some of my favs!

Chris Skel

Order a martini . For $10.50 you get TWO-one in the glass and one in a small carafe on ice. You can't beat it!!

Maritza Spitler

Sangria , paella al Diablo , octopus , as well as their service fails to deliver . Nice restaurant though.

Do yourself a favor a get the red sangria . It'll probably be the best sangria that you've had outside of Spain.

Richard Revilla

Portions are extreme skip the appetizers or leave room in the fridge . Plenty of staff to keep the service level high.

Gabriel Hayes

The Spanish coffee is a must try. Beet coffee cocktail I have ever had

Brian Rudowski

Chicken Francais is EXTREMELY salty!! Food is overpriced, service so-so. Try one of the other Portuguese restaurants in Iron Bound. Fernandez steak house has Fornos beat.

Gabriel Hayes

Paella Valencia is amazing. Big enough portion to split for two

Twinkle Denoyo

Always order paella (valenciana was great), grilled octopus was bomb!

George Meleas

Everything. You can't go wrong. I always get a steak .

An erstwhile destination spot, Fornos is the restaurant name familiar to those who otherwise never have a reason to come to the city .

Louie Louie

No matter what you order it will be good. The seafood is outstanding.

Michael Cabot

Free salad and dessert . Food was fantastic and not very expensive .

Tarah Martelly

The service was on point, the food was really good, the price was fair .

J.D. Green

The food is great, they have more staff than most places, they are making more money than ever, and the portions are shrinking. Go Figure.

The best sorbet ! Comes in the fruit shell

J.D. Green

Love this place, too bad the portions make you feel like they care more about profits than patrons. Sad for 30 year customers.

Honestly didn't want to ask for anything in this location. The feeling of racism in this location was very overwhelming.
