The food was very good but the caveat is that there is a 27 euro minimum per person charge. With a main course, drink and dessert the minimum charge wasn't an issue.

We missed our flight to Morocco (seriously), so we decided to look for the next best thing. It was…read morea bit of a hike from our hotel, and my wife kept asking if we were going the right way. The area was mostly deserted, and located in a community with Chinese and Mexican restaurants. The streets were steep, and not the best for my wife's heels. The entrance belies the rest of the neighborhood, but it gives a clue to what's inside. The interior is gorgeous. North African music weaves a lively tune to provide the perfect backdrop. We opened with hummus, which had the silky quality you expect, and a beautiful presentation. The flavor was very chickpea-forward, but something tasted different from the hummus I've enjoyed in Dearborn (which has the world's largest concentration of middle easterners outside the Middle East). Then, I realized it: there was no detectable garlic, and no salt. Salt is available upon request, though. The pita served with the hummus is the flat pocket type, not the puffy baked type. Not bad, but nothing special. The tagine is a conical clay cooking vessel used in North African cooking. An order of tagine means you will get a dish prepared and served in such a vessel. Well flavors may differ someone, one thing is assured: the food inside will be succulent and fall-off-the-bone. The lamb tagine was slightly sweet due to the raisins used in the preparation, and the large amount of carrots. It was served on a bed of couscous. The chicken tagine was less sweet, and served with peas and smaller chunks of carrots. The beef tagine played a bit like steak and potatoes. All of them were very tasty, though they did need a little bit of salt. While the lamb was served with couscous underneath, chicken did not have any sort of grain so we ordered rice. Wow, was this a great idea. The rice was seasoned with ras el hanout, which was exploding with flavor. This worked beautifully with all three of the above. Drink selections are limited, but we were honestly happy that they served alcohol at all. Prices are not bad, with most dishes costing around 19€. Our waiter was fast and friendly, and he was happy to call us a cab when it was time to leave. I advise taking a taxi there, too, unless you have some high quality footwear. I can't imagine doing better in Madrid if you want an authentic experience with Moroccan food.

We were surprised by the 7 course dinner. Towards the end we were so full and then came the fish and then oxtail... We took a bite and couldn't stop! We finished every last drop of the delicious food. My wife and I had never had oxtail before and we're a little worried... we had our minds blown! If we ever go back to Spain, we'll visit Madrid just so we can eat again at this place! This place deserves 10 stars! I suggest you eat your last meal (in Spain) here, just so you can also enjoy food at other restaurants.

They even sprinkled little glitter hearts on the table for our honeymoon! The experience, the food, the wine, and the service from the two sisters (who own the place) was AMAZING. It's a small place- maybe only like 6 or 7 tables, so make a reservation. It's run completely by the two sisters- they make you feel like they've invited you into their home for dinner. We decided to do the chefs tasting menu (neither of us are picky or have food allergies), and it was so fun to enjoy a delicious meal that the sister chef is really proud of!! At the end of the night, both sisters came around to each table and thanked us for coming. Highly recommend!!!!

We were on the hunt for paella and found this Michelin star restaurant. What you see in the picture…read morelooks huge. However it's one very thin layer of rice topped with 12 small shrimps and 4 small pieces of tuna. This is a paella for 2 dish that cost €54! The rice was somewhat undercooked. Maybe it's the style, but the paella I was looking for was a rich dish with generous amounts of seafood. Not this, we were very disappointed. Also, they bring out bread for €3.50 per person without asking. Total meal was an outrageous cost and you left hungry. Other than that, service was fine and the ambiance was lovely.

The food portions were very hard to understand and way too over priced. Especially since the food was not all that great. However, with all that being said... at least they would have good service right? Absolutely wrong, I experienced the absolute worst service I have ever seen. My server was Samir. Here's what happened...My friend and I went to the restaurant for a nice dinner. Right off the bat, Samir only greeted my friend. I thought that was weird but let it go for it could've been an accident. Next, he comes to ask if we wanted drinks, only speaking to my friend. Again, could've still been an accident but definitely has my attention now. He then comes back with our water, places a coaster down for my friend along with his water. Then proceeds to just place my water on the table, aggressively I made add. I had to ask for my coaster that was literally on his serving plate, he just decided he wasn't going to give it to me I guess. Now, at this time... I'm annoyed but still trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. Now what happens next was the final straw. He comes back to get our orders and again speaks directly to my friend. My friend then gives him his order and as soon as I was about to give mine, Samir just walks away! Doesn't even ask me what I wanted! I literally had to stop him and say, I have not ordered. What in the world!?!? Trying not to show my obvious frustrations, I proceed to order. Once the food arrives, he gives my friend a wet napkin to ensure he can clean his hands after his meal and of course... guess who he doesn't give one to... you guessed it folks... me! And the crazy part is... I ordered the food that would require needing a hand wipe! I don't know if he treated me differently because I was a woman, a woman of color, or maybe because I wore blue and he hated the color blue. Whatever reason, it did not justify the absolutely horrible service I was provided! I would not recommend going to an establishment that intentionally makes their customers feel that way I felt. Will not be going here again nor recommending this place to anyone. They are lucky I can't give 0 stars, because if I could I would!

It's food from the Murcia region of Spain and was absolutely delicious. I ordered the squid ink arroz and it was excellent. I traveled solo and they were able to make a portion for one although it was definitely enough to feed two! They charge per person regardless but I didn't think the pricing was too bad. It was absolutely delicious, one of the best arroz dishes I've ever had - although I didn't see myself in the mirror after eating and realize when I'd finally got back to the hotel my lips were all black haha. So do a check before leaving! Also, they serve the arroz with three aiolis on the side and I definitely recommend mixing in all three. I paired it with a sangria that was very tasty. For dessert, I got the paparajotes, a traditional dish from Murcia that is fried dough around a lemon leaf covered in powdered sugar and with sides of chocolate, strawberry, and caramel syrup. They were tasty, not overly sweet, and has a great lemon hint in the flavor. The restaurant also gives you a complimentary caramel vodka liqueur to finish, a great touch. The service was excellent and helpful. I'd absolutely recommend stopping here if you're a tourist!
