chicken wrap
Denise C.

After visiting La Sagrada Familia right before it closed at 6 PM, we needed a place to eat dinner nearby. My dad wanted to find a place with Wifi and this place had Wifi as well as a menu with cheaper prices. I think the Turkish food menu is really good. There's a lot of variety. There's meat dishes and vegetarian options. The prices are 5-15 euros for entrees. I got the chicken wrap and flan. My dad had a lamb dish that came with salad and french fries. I can find a Turkish food restaurant in San Francisco. This one was good and I liked my meal. The place was not too busy on a Monday night.

Trap for tourists, very expensive and the food is awful. Frozen pizza! 3€ for a small bottle of water. Stay away!

2.5 kmEl Raval

Quimet y Quimet was closed and I didn't want to end up and any old tapas place. So a quick search…read morerevealed Shalimar just a short walk away in Raval, and it didn't disappoint. I shared the dal, chicken tikka tandoori-style, and the mutton biryani with my date, all of which were wonderful. Rich sauces, not too greasy, and the spiciness was just right. I liked that the biryani was served with nuts on top--you don't often find that in the states. I'm from an area (central New Jersey) which has a lot of quality Asian sub-continent food, so this was a very pleasant surprise indeed. The meal was very affordable, too. €24 for all those dishes and three beers. Definitely recommended.

Wow. While in Raval with a friend we decided to have dinner, and while looking for an Indian…read morerestaurant we came upon this gem. The food here is superb. Like really really superb, like best Indian/Pakistani place that I've tried in Barcelona superb. We ordered Naan, Chicken Tikka Masala Tandoori, some saffron rice, and a vegetable dish, and the Chicken Tikka immediately rose to the top 5 that I've tried in recent memory. The service was really good. Everyone was helpful and the food came relatively quickly. Nice place, generally small restaurant, but not tiny either, and nice decorations. The prices are good, ranging from around 4 euros per plate to around 9/10. Rations are good. Would recommend 100% going back. Love.

Surprisingly great Pakistani food filled with Pakistani dudes mowing the pollo a la brassa and…read morenaan. We picked up some take out (enough of the tapas already) and it was a great change of pace with fantastic food. We ended up getting the kofte, chicken, vegetable biryani and two naan (garlic and meat) for about 18€. The food was homemade, fresh and delicious. The meat naan which is completely new to me was delicious filled with ground beef and the meatballs so tender. A good amount of food for the money. We asked for medium spice and it was what I would call medium. Con: it did take about 45 minutes to get the food. I'm not sure if they were out of something or what the hold up was, but damn that's a long time. I also saw a few people stroll in after us and get their food fairly quickly. Second, I can't guarantee the cleanliness of the place. The very nice owner was definitely coughing up a lung and then handed us the bag, let's just hope he wasn't handling any of the food. I mean this happens everywhere, but I was watching it go down for 45 minutes so that's why I bring it up. Overall, if you're looking for non-Spanish food which is kind of hard to find, surprisingly in BCN, this spot is super authentic Pakistani, cheap and delicious. Cash only! They also changed their name to Village Spice or along those lines!
