Bottle of reasonable red and seven excellent middle-eastern tapas for 14 euros.....enough for two. What 's not to like. Lovely friendly host, great variety and lively student atmosphere which suited us... A mature couple. Sauce on the meatballs was delicious and the falafels were great. Best value for good food that we have struck in Spain so far.

Yet another great tapas bar in Granada. They have a huge list of Moroccan tapas you can choose from. I recommend the cous cous, chicken tagine, and the shawarma. Get the 7 tapas and a bottle of wine deal for 14 euros. Don't remember exactly how much just a beer and tapas are but they're about 2 euros. Definitely try... More

For me the best Tapa experience during my trip through Andalusia. The Om-Kalsum is a bit outside of Granada center, but its worth the 15min walk from Plaza Isabel la Catòlica to go there. When you order a drink you'll get one Tapa for free. So you just have to order 3-4 beers and wines to get sated :-). All... More

Authentic tapas (Morroccan style) bar hidden down a quiet alley. We had 8 delicious tapa and a litre of beer for 12.50 - an absolute bargain. The place opens around 8pm and was packed by 9, so make sure you go early if you want a seat. Good vegetarian options available and menu available in English, although mostly visited by... More

I have been to this place endless times. Yes it is always busy and difficult to find a space at the bar. But I just love it. The moroccan tapas are the reason I keep returning: Falafel, couscous with caramelised onions, the chicken shwarma ..... The tapas are simple but good value for money and delicious.

Went there with a vegetarian friend and who was delighted by the choice as selections are often quite limited for veggies. We tried four or five of the veggie options, all of which were good, but most especially the falafels - which were outstanding - and the spinach mix served on half a potato (the name of the dish escapes...

At first I was not impressed, there were no chairs outside and a girl cruised back and forth in this tiny restaurant on rollerblades. Wanting to try it out anyway, we grabbed a seat by one of the tables finding them quite uncomfortable and set quite low to the round. Finally we opted to sit by the bar. By then... More

Relaxed and cool Morrocan restaurant with delicious dishes. An amazing deal of 7 tapas and bottle of wine for 14 euro. My husband and I were definitely full and definitely satisfied by the end. The restaurant has some pretty cool decor too which included a frame of various real reptile and animal teeth (at least we thought it was really... More

This place has absolutely amazing vegetarian options. In a country obsessed with ham and all kinds of meat, this is a great site for vegetarian visitors. We got there around 7pm and were able to find a place immediately. This was a great idea, because Om-Kalsum is obviously very popular and was packed in no time. They had a deal... More

We shared the 12.50 euros for 1litre of beer and 8 tapas set menu between two people and were very pleased with the value and quality of the food. A pleasant and exciting change to the typical Spanish tapas we had been eating for the past few days.
