He pasado unos días en Barcelona y he visitado varios restaurantes. Sin duda, este es el que más me ha gustado. Queríamos comer de menú, ya que la oferta de comida nos apetecía mucho. Sin embargo el precio cambió por ser las fiestas del barrio en esos días. Aún así, mereció la pena. Primero nos pusieron un aperitivo y de entrantes pedimos Hummus y Baba Ganoush. El primero estaba muy bueno y el segundo, aunque lo habíamos probado con otras elaboraciones, también estaba muy sabroso. Para los segundos, pedimos el shawarma, que también incluía hummus y estaba bastante bueno. Además, como los entrantes, incluía pan de pita a parte, que permitía una mejor cohesión con la mezcla del plato. El sabor de las especias de la carne te traslada a la comida típica del país de origen Mi acompañante pidió el Fuego de Baal. También estaba muy bueno y al ser un estofado, tiene más cosas en común con la comida española. El picante se sirve a parte. No pedimos postre, porque queríamos probar el café libanés. Aunque esperábamos que se asemejara al turco, más espeso, este es más ligero. Se sirve con la jarra típica del país y hay una cantidad para dos o tres tazas. El ambiente del local es muy apropiado, gracias al hilo musical con canciones libanesas (o de alrededores, lo desconozco) y los cuadros, que ayudaban a adentrarte en la experiencia. Muy recomendable.

Mi amigo con raíces libanesas me dijo lo siguiente: Me teletransportó a la mesa de mi abuelo. ESPECTACULAR. La comida realmente deliciosa, la atención increíble, amable y súper atenta. Voy a volver segurísimo. Mis favoritos los dejo en fotos. Una experiencia súper recomendada.

Me encanta, increíble, qué espectáculo de comida, cada plato mejor que en anterior. Nosotros no hicimos el meze, elegimos carta y nos arrepentimos. Recomendable empezar por una salsa y después via libre. El shawarma es nuestro plato favorito. Los vinos sorprenden.

Fuimos un sábado por la noche sin reserva y tuvimos la suerte de que hubiese disponibilidad. Desde que entramos nos sentimos súper bienvenidos, un trato super cálido, acogedor y tranquilo. La comida espectacular!!! Pedimos el menú de degustación que trae 8 platillos incluido el postre y la verdad que fue la mejor decisión. Éramos 4 personas y como pueden ver los platos fueron suficiente para probar y quedar a gusto. 10/10 el sabor, gente y el ambiente. 100% recomendado probar el vino libanés que está espectacular también

Este restaurante ha sido todo un acierto, estaba todo muy bueno. El camarero explicaba muy bien los platos y con mucha pasión. El ambiente un poco ruidoso para mí gusto.

De los mejores lugares de Barcelona donde disfrutar auténtica comida árabe. Y la atención estupenda

Hicimos el menú y nos encantó. Variedad de platos y varias opciones vegetarianas. Se nota la calidad y el cariño que hay en la cocina. Recomiendo mucho!

The food at Karakala is pretty good. When I went it was a quiet Sunday night and the service and food were good. The dish that really stood out was the chicken shish kabob, I'd definitely recommend it if you are struggling with what to eat. The service was great, the staff was very nice and attentive.

I was there with my daughter who lives in Barcelona and she reserved a table in this restaurant and what a great choice, never was in a Lebanese restaurant but so good!! Wonderful service by a very friendly person who had to work so hard. Served all alone. A brilliant experience with delicous food and a great Lebanese wine! Highly recommended and not expensive at all!!

We visited this place to celebrate a friend’s birthday. The atmosphere was delightful, and they had reserved a large table for our group. The food was served within approximately 15–20 minutes. They kept the birthday cake for us and presented it nicely when it was time to serve. Overall, I was very satisfied with the experience.

The food portions were huge and the taste was so authentic and flavourful! The service was very welcoming and accommodating. There was only one server but he managed to accommodate everyone perfectly (the restaurant was packed too so that says a lot). Very cultural and delicious experience!

We tried this Lebanese restaurant, and it was absolutely worth it. They offer a wide variety of dishes, and the quality is outstanding. It feels like an authentic Lebanese experience and is definitely recommended!

Throughout our visit the service was very good. We were very well taken care of, and the lady serving us was very polite, and had her recommendations towards the quantity of the food we ordered. The food itself was food, authentic and well prepared. However a bit expensive but well worth it.

Loving the neighbourhood of Gracia and very happy to walk right into this Lebanese restaurant, whose walls have simple yet nostalgic posters..... my favourite is the Orient Express one. We had the set lunch and every item was mouth watering..... from the dips to the Shaurma to the desserts - the baklava was perfect - flaky but not too sweet.

The ONLY real Lebanese food in Barcelona! I can’t believe I finally came across this restaurant, absolutely authentic, it felt like home.

Amazing! Tried the small tasting menu and was nurtured by the delectable flavors and freshness of the ingredients. Will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend for vegans, vegetarians and meat eaters alike 😍😍

One of the best restaurants that I’ve ever been in Barcelona! We got the lunch menu and oppose to many places who brings minimalistic portions for their mediodia menus, here, the portions were very fulfilling and the price was very reasonable. We LOVED everything we ordered, the overall taste was amazing. In addition, our server was very helpful, attentive and positive. I would 100% go back and would recommend everyone to try!

When I have something good to say about a place that's worth your time I write it down. This proper restaurant has superb Lebanese cuisine. Very welcoming personal. The music, decoration and overall atmosphere are quite very soothing. The zatar on the crunchy bread was so tasty I wanted to buy some to take home. Every spice in its rightful place, bringing balance while also rising brows sky high. Needless to say, every single bite was fully satisfying and I felt professionally fulfilled when my meal came to an end. Best Lebanese I've had in this city despite the high competition.

I’m very happy with the food, their service and the atmosphere. It is great to share many appetiser plates amongst a group of people. That’s what I do usually. I normally skip the main and enjoy the dessert dishes. No necessary to make a booking but it’s always to do so.

Very good Lebanese restaurant in Gràcia. My partner and I shared three starters and one main dish. The Búrak Jubne (fried puff pastry rolls filled with cheese and mint) were out of this world. The Muttábal and Karakala potatoes were also delicious. The only dish I wouldn't order again was the Maklube: it was a bit dry, lacked flavor and seemed overpriced at €13, given that it's mostly just rice, pasta and some vegetables. Other than that, I highly recommend Karakala. The service is spot-on. The interior is simple but inviting. Expect to pay around €25 per person. They also have a daily menu for €12.5 on weekdays and €14 on the weekend.

Very good offering of traditional Lebanese cuisine and some interesting house plates. All of which is delicious making it another of the fine middle-eastern food hubs in Gracia. Price point is typical and fair, and the venue is cosy, clean, comfortable, and decorated nicely. The staff are friendly, helpful, and informative, with suggestions of food and drinks pairings and having generally a good attitude towards their customers. Bring your appetite!

Me encanta recomendar el restaurante Karakul, que está en el corazón de la Vila de Gràcia y es muy fácil de localizar. Su punto fuerte es la auténtica comida libanesa, y en mi opinión, sus platos de carne son excepcionales, algo que ha captado la atención de varios críticos gastronómicos. La relación entre la calidad de los platos y los precios me parece muy justa, ya que por una experiencia tan completa, pagar una media de entre 30 y 45 euros me resulta razonable. Además, es muy práctico que se puedan usar tarjetas para pagar. El lugar tiene una decoración muy acogedora y se ha convertido en un sitio muy popular, especialmente para familias, por lo que siempre aconsejo reservar con antelación. Para hacerse una idea del ambiente y sus platos, lo mejor es echar un vistazo a las fotos que comparten en sus redes sociales, que realmente te abren el apetito.

Todo estaba muy rico, con sabores realmente auténticos 👌. El lugar es agradable, espacioso y la atención es 10/10. Muy recomendable

I loved the place. It felt nice and the servants were so lovely. The food was good but they overcooked the meat a bit. However, my boyfriend and I enjoyed a lot this place!!!

Place is very spacious and tables are distributed well what is very important especially now during Covid. Delicious hummus and babaganoush, very good falafels, shawarma was a bit disappointing - pale, more cooked-like meat, dessert with generous amount of sweet rose water. Portions in menu of the day are decent size. Recommend

Restaurante con mucha variedad de platos. Tiene menú degustación, menú del día (incluso en fines de semana), y platos a la carta. Muy buen trato. Fuimos hace 7 meses y nos gustó mucho. Pero hoy hemos vuelto y la verdad es que nos ha decepcionado. La calidad ha bajado bastante. El arroz con verduras muy aceitoso.

135 Euro for a 3 person lunch. Starters were good. Nothing outstanding. But by no means bad. It's ok. But the mixed grill meat was very very chewy And partially not edible. For that price point I've expected a bit more. But ambience and waiter were friendly and helpful.
