This place is a must if you’re in Madrid. Featured on the Netflix show “Somebody Feed Phil” and having a ton of regulars, makes this place not only a local favorite but an international sensation. The food is delicious but the place is small. However, not many people who eat here linger, so wait a bit and you’ll get in. As far as the food goes, I’ll recommend a few things. Let’s go! The ox tail is very tender, the tortilla de patata with or without onions (you decide to which side you will be loyal) is their staple for a reason, the bread that comes with the tortilla is always good, the green peppers are a fresh delight, and the torreznos are crispy and savory. With any of these options, or all if you’re hungry, you can’t go wrong. Side note for out-of-towners. Sometimes the tortilla can be more juicy (runny egg) than it usually is. If you like the juiciness (which is “jugoso” in Spanish) don’t change a thing. If you want to ensure your tortilla is more firm, ask for it “cuajado” style, which means set or curdled but it tells them you would like it to be firm not juicy or at least less juicy. Hope you enjoy.

Here is a casual Google review complimenting Casa Dani Restaurant and the waiter Farouk: Casa Dani - A Dining Delight in Madrid! Just got back from a 3-day trip to Madrid with my colleagues, and Casa Dani was the highlight of our visit! We had the most amazing dinner there - the food was out of this world and the ambiance was perfect for a fun night out. But what really made our experience stand out was the incredible service we received from our waiter, Farouk. This guy goes above and beyond! Not only was he super friendly and attentive, but he also provided excellent recommendations when I needed to get some catering for my boss's private jet to Malta. Farouk took the time to walk me through all the options and even made sure the packaging was top-notch. His professionalism and warm personality really made my Madrid trip extra memorable. I can't wait to come back and dine at Casa Dani again - Farouk and the whole team deserve all the praise! If you're looking for an exceptional dining experience in Madrid, look no further than Casa Dani. And be sure to ask for Farouk - he'll take care of you!

Came for lunch on two consecutive days but the food was so good and affordable (€13). Get the lunch set and the potato omelette is definitely something you must Must MUST order when you are here, esp if you love your scrambled eggs to be runny. Possibly try to come around 12 to avoid the queue! We had the set lunch on both days, and if I have to rank, - for appetiser, I would go for the white asparagus (mainly because I don’t see in my own country so it was new yet refreshing due to the touch of vinegar) > the potatoes with beef stew > the tomato penne pasta (mainly because it’s not “novel”) - for mains, I would go for the cod fish with potato (I’m in love with the freshness of the fish and the taste of the gravy) > beef stew with chips > grilled salmon with fries (just because I prefer my food to have lots of gravy. The salmon is very fresh btw!) - desserts wise, I would go for the panna cotta (because it was the least sweet out of the rest) > the pudding > the pastries

We are finally at the most famous tortilla de patata restaurant in the world. Literally. Anyone who watched Somebody Feed Phil will immediately recall @phil.rosenthal in this restaurant @casadanimadrid in Mercado de la Paz. It is a very popular spot, so you may have to wait some time in the line; but it surely is worth it. There exists a big debate on whether the tortilla should be made with onion or without onion; you can try both. I don’t think it should be either or. Have half portion with onion, half without. Though we wanted to try other tapas, our waiter strongly recommended the prawns in olive oil and garlic. In my opinion when cooked in good olive oil, it is much much better and lighter with olive oil than it is with butter. In Turkiye, the general tendency is to cook it with butter, and unfortunately most of the time, with poor quality butter. Overall it was a very pleasant experience. If you visit Madrid, this place should be on your list.

I've eaten here 4 times so far as it is one block away from my hotel. To be clear, there are 2 Casa Dani sites: one inside the market, and this one which is just outside the market east entrance). Apart from the tortilla which is widely very well reviewed, I've tried several of the other tapas style dishes: Tortilla: Excellent. Oxtail: Very good ( 'special tapas') Meatballs: Good, not nearly as rich as other dishes. Spicy sausage: Ok (I'd already eaten tortilla and meatballs so that may have influenced). Ratatouille: Very good, very rich. Fried Chorizo: Good, again quite rich/heavy. Cheesecake: Excellent. Very soft. Torrezno: Very good. Croquetas: Very good. Pigs ears: Ok (not my cup of tea it seems!) Black pudding: Ok. Overall, clearly its a popular place, very often with a queue for a table. As a solo diner, 2 half portions is plenty, so one pincho tortilla plus anything else in the tapas section. I'll be back for more before I have to leave 🤣

Don't sleep on Casa Dani. It really is the best tortilla! I know they have other menu items, but I was here by myself specifically to try the tortilla, and I was able to get a small piece of both the plain and the version with onions. OMG it is truly the most perfect texture, still soft and creamy inside and firm on the outside. They were both fantastic, nicely seasoned inside and out, but the one with onions really stole the show for me because it just added a whole other dimension of flavor. The servers were extremely kind and patient. I'm always not sure how they will receive American tourists (we don't always have the best reputation) but they were so nice and one of them even said he loved the Boston Celtics (I said I was from near Boston), haha. I was lucky when I arrived because although it was fairly busy, there was no line, and there were still a few tables up for grabs, but by the time I left it got busier and busier.
