REMOVED: Kasbah

We were looking forward to eating at this restaurant given the number of vegetarian choices they have, but we were thoroughly disappointed in the quality of the food.
The drinks (teas and melon juice) were fine. However, the food was horrible. The tabbouleh was mostly lettuce with cous cous drenched in lemon with a teeny, tiny sprinkling of parsley on top--nowhere near the fresh, nourishing, parsley-based Lebanese dish we know. The curry was approximately 6 pieces of overcooked eggplant and carrot on top of rice with a sauce that tasted suspiciously of mayo. The samosa pastry was greasy and soggy and was wrapped around marinated veggies... not very Indian in my book.
This is definitely a tourist trap, and one that targets travelling vegetarians to boot.
To be avoided at all costs!

One of many tea houses in the Albucin area of Granada. Kasbah is mentioned in the Lonely Planet guide to Europe and so is very popular with the tourists. Seating is in small coves and the interior decor is pleasant and atmospheric. The place stocks over 100 varieties of teas and infusions.

It certainly isn't the cheapest tea house in Granada, and we didn't try the food. The infusions we got were decent, but they were expensive and we burnt ourselves on the teapot handles (which don't seem to be insulated from the hot water).

If you would like to visit a traditional tea house, there are a number of other similar places on the same street which are equally atmospheric and slightly cheaper. Cheap falafel also available easily around the area.

Waste of time and money if you are looking for decent food. The place is dirty, the building itself is falling apart and there are electric cables hanging around everywhere.
The ethnic decor seems to be a mere facade.

This place was the absolute low point of our trip to Spain. After getting quite excited by the menu, we got a table downstairs. It seemed quite nice, if a little cramped.

I ordered a veg moussaka and my partner asked for a curry. When mine came, it was actually a spinach lasagne (not a potato, aubergine or lentil anywhere in sight), but I was hungry so I didn't complain.

Both meals had obviously been pre-prepared and microwaved, they looked and tasted awful. The veg in the curry was so overcooked it practically melted in your mouth, and the pasta sheets in my "moussaka" tasted like plastic.

Maybe this place is good for meat eaters or if you just want to drink tea or smoke a hooka, its location guarantees it to be packed with tourists. But do not eat here if you are looking for any kind of decent, fresh vegetarian food.

I can echo others disappointment. It has nice ambience, but food was terrible. We had Indian curry and vegetarian couscous. It was cold in the middle, maybe microwaved, over cooked veggies on top and very little sauce on the grain.
I saw nice looking desert but did not dare to order as the pricing was not cheap in this place.
I would go there for a drink (expensive though) to rest/ look out to the street but not for eating.
It is really a pity as it could do so much with the location.

Looks great but we were really disappointed by our visit. It wasn't overly busy but the staff were completely over whelmed. A long wait for somebody to take our order then several things weren't available (eg orange juice) right at the beginning of service. Food when it came was good but it took more prompting for it to actually be delivered and even then there was some 15 min between my food and that of my wife being served. All in all a disappointing visit.

Really great place - full of atmosphere, amazing veggie choice (in a city where elsewhere I was offered snail soup in response to my explanation that I didn't eat meat or fish) and helpful staff who gave us an impromptu Spanish lesson and how to pour tea the Arab way! I loved the cous-cous with heaps of dried fruit and chick peas and also the Moroccon tea which squeezed the contents of a small herb garden into the teapot. A must when in Granada

It's been 3 years since I was here, so the memory has faded. It's right amidst all the Arab markets and had a really nice vibe to it. It was great to get out of the heat! I had a fresh carrot-apple juice which, after living on bananas, tuns sandwiches, and Cheerios my first week in Spain, seriously hit the spot. I had a really yummy spinach dish -- I can't remember what it was exactly but it was delicious -- and my boyfriend the vegetarian lasagna. There was an adorable little boy playing peekaboo the entire time. It was a wonderful experience!

I was starving (usually things taste better then) and ordered hummus/pita bread and a vegetable samosa. Thankfully I didn't order more, as it was already expensive and when the food came it was a VERY thin layer of hummus spread across the plate which obviously came from a package (many places here do make it themselves) accompanied by semi-stale pita bread straight out of a plastic bag (I know what fresh or even heated tastes like). The empanada was obviously reheated as it was greasy and the pastry was mushy. Like fried food you take home for leftovers hoping it will be good the next day... it never is. Much better places than this in Granada to find the few vegetarian items they have.
