Overall not a great experience - Edit
We visited this restaurant specifically because we were looking for vegan options and wanted to make sure we could enjoy a plant-based meal.
Read moreUnfortunately, our experience was disappointing from the start. As soon as we entered, the music was extremely loud and more fitting for a nightclub than a restaurant, which made it difficult to relax or have a conversation.
We ordered the golden nachos and vegan tacos, but both dishes were lacking in taste and freshness. The ingredients didn’t seem fresh, and the plates felt poorly thought-out. The overall flavor was underwhelming, and we left feeling quite dissatisfied.
To top it off, we found the prices to be quite high for the quality of food and experience offered.
Unfortunately, we wouldn’t recommend
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Not great food, Loud music, Atmosphere not very cosy

Very Good Vegan Only Restaurant - Edit
We had the Nachos Tex and the Golden Papas. Both were prepared from scratch and tasted lovely. The presentation was quite unusual. Good service. Moderate pricing. Nice ambiance.

AMAZING food and staff - for vegans and non-vegans - Edit
WOW!! Honestly some of the best food we had whilst we were in Granada. Such a lovely, friendly restaurant with a really warm and welcoming atmosphere and the staff were second to none! Every aspect of the meal was outstanding - very good drinks prices, fresh and hot food straight from the kitchen, lots of variety on the menu and everything was delicious 😋 highly recommend the pizza, nachos tex, calamari and alfajor! I’m vegan and my parents are not (including my 2-meat-no-veg dad!), but all of us were amazed by the food, and they said they could never tell it was all vegan 🤪 100% recommend this place whether you’re vegan or not! Thank you so so much to the staff at El Oju for such a lovely meal ☺️

Amazing vegan food - Edit
My dear vegans, if you go here you're in luck.
Read moreIt's a friendly and welcoming neighbourhood eatery with a pleasing range of vegan dishes, including tapas style and mains.
Of particular note, they do calamari rings (yep, still vegan) which were genuinely fantastic. I never like fake fish but this was next level tasty.
We had a selection 6 dishes and every single one was delicious. I highly recommend this place.
Pros: Vegan calamari , Warm atmosphere , Not a single bad dish

Perfect service, pizza could be better - Edit
The tall girl was very friendly and correct!
Read morePizza was too thin and a little burnt, but tasty anyways. I take off the burnt parts.
I had alfajor for dessert. As Argentinian, I know the flavours and was very authentic. The waitress told me an Argentinian family make them in town.
I will probably go back to try more plates.
They have a wide and attractive menu. :)
Pros: Good location, very close to the cathedral.

Great food! - Edit
We went three times during our stay in Granada because we loved it. It's a great place to bring non-vegan friends as well. We went with non-vegans once and they loved it!

Delicious Food - Edit
Eventhough it was already late we have received all our desired dishes and had nice service. The cesar salad was particularly great. We have also had the nuggets that we're amazing and got enough to share and try every dish in our group. A very enjoyable experience

Nice service, bad food - Edit
We tried the veggieballs, the hot dog and the Caesar’s salad. All of it didn’t taste good, so we are a bit surprised about the good reviews.
Read moreThe Caesar’s salad consisted of salad, tomatoes, plain tofu, croutons, mock chicken with a yoghurt sauce. The lettuce tasted weirdly bitter, the croutons of rancid oil, the tofu was just plain tofu without any spice or sauce and the chicken replacement actually left the taste of vomit in my mouth. The yoghurt was also just plain yoghurt without spices. I only ended up eating the tomatoes.
The veggieballs were okay, they just needed a lot more salt and spices. The hot dog was edible, but the meat replacement was also pretty disappointing.
Pros: The service is nice, All vegan, hard to find in Spain
Cons: The food is really bad, especially the mock meats, They’re out of a lot of options on the menu

Good food - Edit
The service was very friendly, the food was tasty. It’s definitely a $$ price range and there is a bit of taste missing in the Interior design.

Awesome vegan food in a lovely atmosphere - Edit
We loved our experience in El Ojú, so we went there twice during our short time in Granada! Pizza Elvira was our favourite, even my non-vegan partner was convinced by the cheese. The owner, Rian, is also a lovely soul with a great passion for vegan food. I'd wish to have this restaurant in my hometown!

Una visita obligada para los amantes de lo vegano - Edit
Tenía ganas de volver al Ojú porque lo considero un referente del veganismo en Granada desde hace bastantes años. Y me alegra decir que hay cosas que no cambian: la comida rica, la buena atención, un espacio acogedor. Han apostado por una variedad muy amplia en la carta. Los platos están muy bien de precio y son abundantes. Nosotros probamos la hamburguesa de lentejas y también unas fajitas picantes, todo buenísimo. El café con sirope de lavanda es super recomendable. Y dar las gracias a la chica que nos atendió que es muy maja y se esmeró porque disfrutásemos de nuestra comida.

Delicious but modest - Edit
Truly delicious food. My only note is the portion size of the tacos was a little small. There were 4 tacos, could've been 5, and the portion of fries included was unusually small.

Good food - Edit
I had a bit of a mixed experience at El Ojú.
Read moreAlthough the place opens at 8pm, when I arrived they told me that the food would only be served from 9pm, which was a bummer because I did contact them before hand to reserve a table at 8pm.
At the end, everything worked out because the owner came around 8.30pm and cooked what I chose from the menu. They also recognized they messed up and gave me the drink for free, which was a nice gesture.
As for the food, it was good; but I found the cheese balls too salty.
Judging from other reviews, it seems it was a bad day, so hopefully you'll have a better time than I did.
Pros: good food
Cons: a bit disorganized on the day I visited

El Oju - Edit
It's a very cozy place. I walked past it two times before realising the place, but it was all worthwhile in the end. I love the place and the staff. A must try in my opinion.

Really good food - Edit
Very good food, nice place, and friendly staff. Serving sizes were generous. I came here with 5 other people and we ordered a main each plus two starters to share and it was entirely too much food!
Read moreService was slow, so I can't give them 5*. Everything else was really good though.
Pros: Delicious food, Big portions, Friendly staff
Cons: Slow service

La comida muy rica y el trato genial! - Edit
Probamos las albóndigas y la ensalada cesar, ambas cosas muy ricas y en buena cantidad por el precio!
Read moreEn el local solo trabajan 2 personas, por lo que el servicio es algo mas lento, pero merece mucho la pena.

Sitio coqueto y comida muy buena - Edit
Un sitio chiquitito con una selección bastante buena de platos. Las raciones grandes y ricas. Una pena que se les hubieran acabado algunas cosillas cuando llegué.

Disappointed 😞 - Edit
Friendly staff, reasonable service for a small place with what looked like 2 people working. However I thought the food was not very good. I should state that I'm coming from a WFPB (whole food plant based) perspective with a preference for minimal SOS. The food here was salty, very oily, mostly fried, and I suspect contained highly processed ingredients.
Read moreYou might like it but it wasn't for me.
Pros: Good atmosphere, friendly people.
Cons: See above

No cumplió las expectativas - Edit
Sería un buen sitio para tomar unas raciones rápidas si no fuera porque tardan mucho en traerlas.
Read moreNo está mal, pero 2 de las 3 raciones que pedimos llegaron frías.
Además, en la carta varias opciones aparecían como "no disponibles" (como los calamares que aparecen en tantas reseñas).
Pros: Buen sabor
Cons: Tiempo de espera, Comida fría
