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.

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.

The staff does not speak much English, but I was able to converse with them in Spanish, which I know much better than German. The menu contains descriptions in Spanish and German. I hope to eat here again during my stay in Darmstadt.
