Nice service, bad food

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.

The 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

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

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

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.

Pros: Comida Variada, ambiente agradable y fresco, Buen precio

Great Vegan Food!

We had the Calamari and the Golden Nachos, both were amazing. So many great choices on the menu, so much to choose from!

Delicious but modest

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

I had a bit of a mixed experience at El Ojú.

Although 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

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.

Pros: The Staff, Quantity and quality of food, The price

Really good food

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!
Service 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!

Probamos las albóndigas y la ensalada cesar, ambas cosas muy ricas y en buena cantidad por el precio!
En 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

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 😞

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.
You might like it but it wasn't for me.

Pros: Good atmosphere, friendly people.

Cons: See above

Food was delicious, the staff were lovely and prices are very reasonable but the waiting time for food is a bit excessive.

No cumplió las expectativas

Sería un buen sitio para tomar unas raciones rápidas si no fuera porque tardan mucho en traerlas.
No 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

Very confused what the hype is about

Unfriendly service, long wait times despite not being busy, and very mediocre food. We went there because the reviews were promising but it was super disappointing.

Rico, buena cantidad pero un pelín caro.

Estaba todo riquísimo. Pedimos unas papas golden y un hot dog beyond. Las papas tenían mucho queso, nos encantó eso aunque el precio un pelín excesivo. El hot dog estaba muy rico, además acompañado de papas y salsa.
Servicio agradable y simpático.

Pros: Comida 100% vegana, es una cooperativa vegana, Buen sabor y cantidad , Servicio agradable

Cons: Un pelín caro

El oju

Gran variedad de tapas y raciones. El sabor es impresionante, los calamares por ejemplo parecen de verdad. El local es pequeño y acogedor, y el personal amable.
He vuelto en julio 23 y ya no te dan tapas, ahora son raciones y platos.

Vegan Spanish food

They offer very traditional dishes made vegan, and they are very good.

Simple and delicious

They ellaborate their own seitan, chorizo, and a variety of traditional Spanish embutido. The vegan cheese they use is delicious. Also, the staff is super, super friendly and gave us recommendations of other vegan places in Granada. As a negative, I have to say that they ran out of various ingredients and we couldn't try all what we wanted.

No longer great

This used to be a great place with veganised traditional Spanish tapas such as choripán, tortilla de patatas and albondigas. No they no longer serve tapas with your drink (huge disappointment!) and it has become bad value for money. The albondigas we had were really dry and the gambas al ajillo were really bland. The service was also incredibly slow. Them not serving tapas anymore is the reason I won’t go back to what once was my favourite tapas bar in Granada. So disappointed!

Pros: All vegan

Cons: No longer serves tapas, Bad value-for-money, No longer serves Spanish favourites like tortilla

Comida sencilla

No está mal, pero en general nos pareció comida muy poco elaborada, de la que puedes hacer en casa sin más. Además fueron bastante lentos.

Delicious food and great staff

The food here is super good. We were advised by the waitress/owner to not order too much food, which was highly appreciated. We had some food to share and we loved everything and will definitely come back for more!
