Rincón de Bagdad — Local services in Granada

From the moment I crossed the sacred threshold of Rincón de Bagdad, I knew I was no longer in a simple eatery—I had stepped into a culinary sanctum where spices sing ancient songs and meats are kissed by flames with the tenderness of a love letter.

The hummus—oh, the hummus! Creamier than a sonnet, richer than a sultan’s dowry. It wasn’t just chickpeas and tahini. It was silk spun by angels, a velvet cloud that cradled the tongue and whispered forgotten secrets of Levantine kitchens.

Then came the shawarma, wrapped not in mere pita but in parchment sent from Olympus. Each bite was a revelation. The meat was tender, marinated in what I can only assume was a potion of divine origin. Smoky, spiced, and impossibly juicy, it danced across my palate like a dervish in a trance.

But the kebab—ah, the kebab! Forged in fire and poetry, it bore the marks of char and craftsmanship. It was not grilled; it was consecrated. The texture was a symphony of crisp and tender, the seasoning a saga in every bite.

If there were a throne for flavor, Rincón de Bagdad would sit upon it crowned in sesame and cumin. I left not full, but transformed. My taste buds wept tears of gratitude. My soul hummed a slow oud melody. And my heart? It stayed behind, nestled between the shawarma spit and the...

Sydneysiders, I would sadly not reccomend.

This honestly may be the worst kebab experience of my life. There was no sauce dousing the meat. The meat was not charred or seasoned otherwise and the bread was sadly just soft with no toasting.

We asked for two “completo” kebabs, with one in a set and after asking us to repeat ourselves 3 times, made only one “completo” and didn’t give us the chips 😤. The guy also snapped his fingers at us to also tell us it was ready and was kinda rude otherwise.

The atmosphere of the place although seemed nice and clean, the food was however very disappointing.

P.S. the “complemento” comes with eggs and seed...

Envoltura de shawarma mediocre. El chico que trabajaba usaba pollo viejo. Le tomó ~25 minutos hacer UNA envoltura de shawarma. No usó guantes y siguió usando su teléfono y luego manipulando la comida. Me dio asco, no se lavó las manos ni una sola vez. Incluso cambió el tanque de propano y TODAVÍA no se lavó las manos y luego atendió a un cliente. Constantemente seguía mirando videos en su teléfono en lugar de hacer la envoltura de shawarma (podría haberla comido y estar en casa para entonces). Usaba su teléfono (probablemente sucio como todos nuestros teléfonos) y atendía a los clientes sin lavarse las manos. La comida era mediocre y el servicio era TAN lento que arruinó mi experiencia. Definitivamente no recomiendo este lugar si tienes una agenda apretada. Los precios son decentes. No pude terminar mi comida porque el pollo sabía que tenía al menos un día de antigüedad. Definitivamente no regresaré y definitivamente no recomiendo este lugar a NADIE. Quitar patético

Mediocre shawarma wrap. The guy working used old chicken. It took him ~25 minutes to make ONE shawarma wrap. He didn’t use gloves and kept using his phone and then handling the food I was disgusted, he didn’t wash his hands a single time. He even changed the propane tank and STILL didn’t wash his hands and then served a customer. He constantly kept going on his phone to watch videos instead of make the shawarma wrap (I could’ve eaten it and been home by then). He would use his phone (probably dirty like all our phones are) and serve customers without washing his hands. The food was mediocre and the service was SO slow it ruined my experience. Definitely don’t recommend this place if ur on a tight schedule. Prices are decent. I couldn’t finish my food because the chicken tasted at least a day old. I definitely won’t be coming back and I definitely don’t recommend this place to ANYONE....
