I have also ordered the gambas al ajillos (excuse the spelling...garlic shrimp). A wonderful dish to dip your bread! It comes out sizzling! The bread and potatoes are served with a creamy garlic sauce which is also delicious! If you are looking for meat, try the chorizo (a little spice) or the meatballs. Both are good on the bread! I'm not a fan of the chicken as I feel it lacks flavor but my friends like it. The mojitos and caprihinas are good...but the glasses are filled to the brim with ice and there doesn't seem to be much drink. This place doesn't accept credit card so come with euro!

Hands down the best paella in whole Darmstadt. Been going there since my childhood and it never…read moredisappoint! The paella is gigantic so order one for two if your are 4. It will still be plenty! The flavor is exactly what you get in Spain. The seafood is fresh and so are the peas. The rice is al dente and overall the texture is just plain amazing! The waitress was a little slow and didn't understand our drink order (we are Germans and talked German so no language barrier) still we had a great time. They also have a "biergarten" so you can sit outside in summer. Only really bad thing is that there's no parking and it's very difficult to find a spot.

La Bodega is a small Spanish restaurant in Darmstadt. It specialises in Paella, and I have to say,…read moreit was pretty good paella. I had the chicken, but they also do rabbit, seafood and a mixed one (which hubby had). There is a limited tapas menu, but the bread and garlic mayonnaise was nice and the prawns in garlic were delicious (we like garlic). The waitress was very friendly, and the portions generous. A nice wine list too, I had a lovely glass of Rioja. it's a bit off-putting when you walk in, as you are faced with a bar, with local customers sitting and chatting, and you feel a bit - blocked. Just push your way through and grab a seat - it is small, so you might want to book. The prices are very reasonable, and I enjoyed my evening.
