Dala's Steak House — Restaurant in Madrid

I'm delighted to share my review of Dala's after my second visit with my girlfriend. To begin, I'd like to mention that I'm a vegetarian, and if you happen to share the same dietary preference, you'll likely understand the challenge of finding vegetarian options in Madrid, as most restaurants primarily offer dishes centered around fish and meat. Vegetarian food is, unfortunately, quite rare in this city.

Our first experience at Dala's last year left a lasting impression on us. We decided to take a chance and simply asked for a meat-free and fish-free option. To our delight, we were served a truly fantastic vegetable plate that stands as one of the best dishes I've ever had in a restaurant. I want to emphasize that my praise is by no means an exaggeration; it was simply that delicious.

Today, during our second visit, we were once again treated to the same level of fantastic and delicious food, as you can see in the attached picture. The staff at Dala's were incredibly friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience.

My heartfelt advice to all fellow vegetarians (or vegans) out there is this: if you find yourself in Madrid, do not hesitate to visit Dala's. I can assure you that you won't regret it. And for those who enjoy meat, rest assured that Dala's offers a variety of meat-based options as well.

In my book, Dala's earns a solid 5 out of 5 stars, and if I had the option, I'd happily give them 10 out of 5. It's truly a gem in Madrid's...

Not the greatest experience. Food wasn't bad, but was lacking ...something... Milanesa de Pollo was cooked well, but needed salsa or something to give it some life. When I asked for salsa I was given ketchup packets. Really? The chicken burger was decent. The server seemed annoyed my guest didn't speak Spanish. The atmosphere has a 'locals only' vibe, which would be fine if the service was better. Unless they really do just want locals only. I don't plan to return and wouldn't recommend it unless, perhaps, you happen to be a local and don't bring a guest who doesn't...

Visit Dala 2-3 times a week for morning coffee or wine in the evening. All of the staff are always very friendly and nice - not sure about the food because I don’t eat here - but there’s a staff member working there (I think he’s newer than some of the others) and he’s simply unprofessional and rude. He has been unpleasant and awkward multiple times now and I won’t ever be back. I just wanted to let you know because it’s a shame that one bad staff member ruins the atmosphere of your cafe. He was working there...
