Samarkanda

Despite the rather tired decor, this friendly family-run Lebanese restaurant cooks up a tempting menu of traditional mainstays in the backstreets of the Albayzín. Kick off with hummus, labneh and falafel before digging into a bowl of kafta (ground beef baked and served with potatoes and a sesame sauce), steaming couscous, or rice with almonds and raisins.
