"Speedy service, impossibly smooth hummous, spicy salty salsa and good prices."
"The restaurant, staff, price, food and coffee very good!"
"I'd definitely recommend stopping by here for a hearty home-cooked-tasting meal."
5 Incredible portion sizes, delicious food (as middle easterners), and lovely interior atmosphere. You can eat to the sound of water flowing from tiled basins and gentle Arabic music. The servers were very efficient- we were all hungry from a day of walking and barely had to wait at all. Highly recommend trying their rice pudding- it’s so refreshing, had pistachios and cinnamon and not too sweet. Such an underrated restaurant!
5 An excellent spot for enjoying Syrian cuisine. Everything we ordered had a distinct and flavourful taste. Service was fast and friendly. Servings were plentiful and the ambiance was warm and welcoming. Would certainly recommend if you're visiting Granada.
5 Popped in for dinner. Efficient friendly service and the food was really good. Wife's falafel was some of the best we've had and daughter's meat skewers were delicious. My plate was well put together and tasty enough but not quite what I expected and I doubt I would get it again. But there's plenty of other stuff on the menu to try.
5 We really enjoyed our time at Puerta de Syria! We had amazing spread of food including lentil soup, fatpush salad, moutabal dip, falafel, grape leaves and puta bread. It was all absolutely delicious! The staff was attentive and the atmosphere was cozy and relaxes. Highly recommend. As a side note to the owner. We noticed a small bird in a cage outside the restaurant. The bird was singing his heart out and we felt bad the he has been confined to a life in such a small cage. We hope you will consider setting him free to live a life in the wild!
5 We loved the food, mint tea & friendly service. Flavourful & beautifully presented. Love the decor & music. No alcohol but many great options.
5 Great food at reasonable prices. Beautiful serving. The owner doesnt speak english but we managed. Best falafel i ever had.
5 This place is absolutely amazing! The food was beautifully presented and incredibly delicious. The interior looked stunning, the service was excellent, and the prices were very budget-friendly. Thank you so much for everything!
