    chicken wrap
    Denise C.

    After visiting La Sagrada Familia right before it closed at 6 PM, we needed a place to eat dinner nearby. My dad wanted to find a place with Wifi and this place had Wifi as well as a menu with cheaper prices. I think the Turkish food menu is really good. There's a lot of variety. There's meat dishes and vegetarian options. The prices are 5-15 euros for entrees. I got the chicken wrap and flan. My dad had a lamb dish that came with salad and french fries. I can find a Turkish food restaurant in San Francisco. This one was good and I liked my meal. The place was not too busy on a Monday night.

    Trap for tourists, very expensive and the food is awful. Frozen pizza! 3€ for a small bottle of water. Stay away!

    With a name like Swagatam, it has to be good. So let's get swaggy!…read more If I'm being honest, we have not become converts of Spanish food. (Please, no hate! We're not big into seafood.) However, we have enjoyed some great pastries here-churros y chocolaté at CHOCOLATERÍA 1902 and napolitanas at La Malorquina in Madrid. After all that, we needed something spicy. The winner of the best food we've eaten in Spain so far is Swagatam! This little gem is tucked a ten-minute walk from La Perdrera and two doors down from our Airbnb. Swagatam really brought the spice! As you can see from the picture our meal came with four house-made sauces and two house-made seasoned salts. My wife fearing over-spicing, went with mild chicken curry. I ordered medium chicken curry and my daughter medium chicken tikka masala. All appropriately spicy. I was happy to kick mine up with sauce number 4. We really enjoyed our meal. Not only was the food delicious, the owner, Lal, has been the kindest person we met in Spain and Portugal so far. To be fair, he could top the nice list in any country. He's just a positive, happy dude with a great outlook and attitude. He is a friend to all. The service was great and the prices reasonable too. Great quality and presentation. He brought my wife and I a shot of limoncello (we had to politely turn down since we don't drink) and a mango lassi for our daughter when we had finished our meal. Lal is a gracious host, for sure. We recommend a meal at Swagatam the next time you are at the northwest end of the Passeig de Gràcia.

    The food was amazing. Fresh and clean. I eat a lot of Indian food this place was great food and to…read moretop it off great portions at a fair price. I had the chicken saag, lamb tikka masala and several other items. The youngest with me was 10 years of age and the eldest 48. We all enjoyed it. It does look shady walking up to it ona side alley and it's a lil tight when u peek inside but the service and food were tip top. The waiters spoke English and were hospitable and helpful.
