Tetería Baraka — Restaurant in Órgiva

No star!: I felt discriminated! No star: me senti discriminado!

Today, I was going to have a coffee in a taverna where I usually go each week. Sometimes, I also eat something like a cake, for example, but normally I go to have a coffee. Today, though, the owner there told me even before I could ask for the coffee that it's no place for me if I only want a coffee and that there is a restaurant where I have to eat as well (in order to spend more). He told me that last time he watched me and I had only a coffee, and it doesn't suit him that way.

Found this place online and through a recommendation. We ordered the vego couscous, falafel, chicken tagine, mint lemonade, carrot cake, cafe solo and one of the infusion teas. Absolutely loved it.

Normally I complain about sweet things (i.e.: prunes, fruit) being in my savouries, but I was willing to be challenged. They had it so well balanced in the couscous. They arguably serve the best falafels in Spain. The carrot cake was great too with cream cheese frosting and chocolate in harmony with a light sponge.

Staff was so welcoming. Our waiter in particular spoke English, Spanish and Arabic.

They also have a little corner for gifts or consumables - we bought some of their speciality olive oil. Can't...
