The crust still not as good as three Portuguese one we had in Portugal but this is the better one we had in Spain. Good flavor with the cod. Bit on the salty side but that's how they are usually. Seafood soup - quite delicious and very "seafoody". Nice flavor. Expected more seafood but it's pretty good amount already. Shrimp cake - Slightly oily, not a lot of flavor. It's ok dish. Seafood paella - The hotel recommended this place as one of the best paella. We were disappointed. Funny thing is, the paella we had in Palo Alto California was way better than this. And we are in Spain?! The seafood and the ingredients are very fresh. That we were impressed. The paella didn't taste seafood and with a tint of sourness. All in all, didn't enjoy it. I would have rated it 4 stars but the paella and shrimp cake disappointed.

I didn't try anything crazy because I got pretty full quickly. They give you a new tapa every time you order a drink. That's something I miss the most about Granada!! Service was alright. They weren't paying much attention to me and I was left waiting a lot. I sat outside. Their hours aren't accurate so keep that in mind. Minus 2 stars for service and the dishes were heavy on salt. As an American, that isn't something I normally complain about but it was excessive and smothered in Olive oil. It's all about preference. My favorite was probably the camarones fritos! They were baby shrimps and had amazing crunch. Tinto was spectacular. I'd probably come back to try other dishes but it was a staple in Granada.

The food was absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and exactly what we were hoping for while visiting Granada. One of the best parts is that every drink comes with a free tapa, which is an amazing value and a great way to try different local dishes. Everything we tasted was excellent. What really made our visit special, though, was the owner, Nacho. He was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. His hospitality turned a great meal into a memorable experience. We left completely satisfied and would highly recommend Los Diamantes to anyone visiting Granada. Great food, generous portions, wonderful service, and a true local atmosphere. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town!

We visited the restaurant at night for dinner and ordered drinks upon arrival. Our welcome tapa was fried Squid which was a big portion for free, but it wasn't very good a bit too salty and greasy.

There was no gluten free option for the bread so we ended up skipping on the bread and being sad instead. Overall it was a very authentic experience with excellent Paella and tapas.

The menu says "small" cone, but it seems like a ton of food to me so I always go with the small cone since it's more than enough. The quality of seafood seems good to me, as everything from the shrimp to the calamari to the different types of fish all taste great. And I like how nothing is battered too heavily; the anchovies especially have a nice light batter. My only complaint is that their other dishes were somewhat underwhelming. I definitely do not suggest getting the shrimp salad because it's all potatoes and mayo without any shrimp, not at all worth 5 euros. And I did like the tortillita de camaron because it was a very tasty fritter, but it too lacks shrimp. Not bad though for 1.50 euros.
