    This review is loooong over due! Friends and I were visiting abroad July 2019 and I STILL THINK ABOUT THIS WONDERFUL RESTAURANT! Not only was the owner and his staff kind, but we were starving and trying to find a good restaurant that was still open. Samarkanda was closing at 11 and we had arrived around 10:30pm. Luckily, the owner let us sit and order seconds. I'm glad he did because the food was divine!! The meat literally fell off the bone as soon as you picked it up. It was truly TRULY delicious, nothing like I've ever tasted before! Please get an array of hummus (as they have various options) and do yourself a favor and order the Chicken w/ sesame sauce/caramelized apple!! I dream about this dish!! You won't regret visiting. Muchísimas gracias por la comida, eran muy amable!

    Fattuch salad, hummus, lentil soup

    My wife and I have been traveling through Europe for the past 2 weeks when we got to Granada. We were craving vegetables and fresh salads, and this place was perfect. The owner is very nice, but the food was amazing. We ordered a lentil soup (soo good with a hint of lemon and cumin) hummus, fattuch salad and the fish tagine in tomato broth. We couldn't stop raving about it all, and incredibly affordable. We're talking about going back tonight :)

    Menu

    We tried several starters with pita breads and a tagine lemon garlic chicken. All very flavorful and delicious. The waiter speaks excellent English and was attentive and friendly. The location cannot be more convenient. We will come back.

    Great reviews but just average food. Pita bread is not home made. Service and owner are nice.

    Colombian Spanish fusion food in Granada…read more What's not to like? * * * Much of the food was simple well executed stuff. A nice salmon on the plancha. A nice salad. Pineapple juice comes out of the bottle. But the bottle is a Spanish bottle, The pineapples are Spanish pineapples, And the Juice is served with ice cubes. On a 110 degree day, Good pineapple juice on the rocks was just what I needed. I drank a lot of the stuff. * * * The dish of distinction was the shrimp coquetel. Mexicans do lots of coquetels. I eat a ton of these back in Texas where I live. This Colombian-Spanish coquetel put my hometown coquetels to shame. It doesn't hurt that Spanish seafood is just better stuff than commercial Gulf of Mexico seafood. Good shrimp are good shrimp. But what made the dish magical is that the coquetel sauce was much more acidic than are comparable versions in the United States. You did not hear me say "lemony" or "citrusy". If you had said "mild vinegar" I might have believed you. The tart bite made the dish incredibly refreshing. Normally on a seafood cocktail, I am there for the shrimp and the sauce is garnish. Here, as good as the shrimp were - and they were good, the shrimp were the back-up band for the sauce. The sauce put life back into my body and hope back into my heart. It may have been 110 degrees outside - But I was ready for five sets of tennis ... Or maybe walking up to the Alhambra on my thumbs while juggling watermelons with my feet. I don't think they put Red Bull in coquetel sauces anywhere. But this was food that was truly reviving. * * * Minor note: Dessert was popsicles. Popsicles in Spain are strictly commercial - although artisanal ones do exist. They are thin rectangles of actual fruit on the stick with juice and flavors in the ice on the outside. We had one green mango popsicle and one tutti-frutti popsicle. I would have never thought I would be happy eating a commercial popsicle Rather than getting a chef-made kitchen-made dessert. But some popsicles are really good.

    Not your typical Spanish style of tapas bar/restaurant, if you prefer dark wood and the traditional…read morefurnish. Located in the pleasant quarterone of Realejo, and close to the Moorish area Albayzin, this place offers a great variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian food. Tapas and whole plates, it's very diverse. We had the mix of grilled vegetables and ravioli stuffed with spinach and ricotta, dressed with pesto-sauce. Lovely! Try the Rioja house-wine, it'll blow you away! Crowd (saturday) is a mix of yound and older locals as well as the same mix of tourists who don't mind a walk away from the Cathedral and the touristic restaurants nearby. The service is kind and relaxed, the furnish a mix of old secondhand stuff. But all in style. Would recommend Papaupu for sure!
