Restaurante Árabe Sultán — Restaurant in Granada

Absolutely wonderful experience! Ignore the lower reviews as they have most certainly changed their ways. The food is a little expensive yes, but that is relative to Spain, pretty average prices for Europe. The atmosphere was quite nice, but only a 4 due to the fact that not many people were there, so it lost the unique ambience of a busy restaurant. The roof and walls have very beautiful carvings though, so it is much more pleasant than a bland white drywall. The paintings are exquisite as well! The servers were extremely professional, and were nice as well. They listened to our requests and did what we asked very quickly. Extra plates, utensils, etc. The food was somewhat expensive relative to the area, but was 100% worth it. It did take a long time to arrive, but you could tell it was freshly made. The bread is extremely cheap, and they make it fresh for you! If I had to recommend and menu item, it would be the lamb skewers. 11/10, makes my mouth water thinking of it as I write this. It was cooked to perfection, and spiced appropriately. The humus with bread and falafel was amazing, the spices were very proportionate to the serving, which was wonderful! I absolutely adore this place, so take a stop by it for sure! I must add that even though this is an Arab restaurant, they do serve alcohol, so it may not be considered a true Arab restaurant or you may not consider it adhering to certain values...

Food was not bad, but pretty plain. Strange, we expected some kind of higher quality; maybe because it's not Spanish. Not impressed. But service was unexpectedly bad. The waiter was pretty reluctant to move us from a table 2 meters from the entrance door to another available table of the same size. He rarely appeared, and once, when he was taking away an extra glass, he just threw my napkin on the table. I don't know, is it something ethnic? Or is it the attitude towards the people who speak English? We could speak Spanish, no era un problema para nosotros. Anyway, disappointed on two counts. Oh, more. We tried to order eggplants, but they did not have any! Just an idea, in the menu. Really, Granada out of eggplants today?

Ok, bread was...

Terrible food, without any taste and lazy service. We ordered two different tajine: one vegetarian, one with meatballs. I got literally veggies from water, without nothing - any spices, any sause, any different stuff - it looked like frozen mix of vegetables from supermarket. Other dish has only few meatballs with half of egg in the middle - no spices and a lot of water, that's all! Only lemonade that we ordered to food was really great. Service was terrible. Two waiters were chatting and didn't pay attention to customers while we waited 30 minutes for our bill. From our experience the worst place in Granada. Pity, cause has...
