Nelumbo - Barcelona

We decided to eat here as it was just a block or two from our apartment, and the menu looked pretty appetizing. We ordered some Vietnamese spring rolls, a chicken spicy curry, and chicken satays. Before the food arrived, I excused myself to use the washroom. Much to my surprise and chagrin, the mechanism in the door broke, and I was locked in a stall with a floor to ceiling door. After 10 minutes of pounding on the door and shouting, a staff member came to help. It took 20 more minutes of breaking through the door at the latch to free my from my imprisonment. During all of this time, the staff only told my wife that I was O.K., and they were trying to help me. They never told her what the issue was. As I do suffer with heart disease, she had all sorts of negative scenarios rolling through her mind. She was nervous to leave our table at the door with our coats, hats, etc. in case they disappeared. On top of all this, they served the food before I was freed! They did reheat the food, but that changed the taste and texture of our meal. At the end, they never offered to reduce the bill for the anxieties they put us through. As other reviews state, the food was probably pretty good the first time it was cooked, but we felt that the staff really did not care about what we went through, both being locked in, and the mental anguish my wife suffered.

My wife and I have live in Barcelona and have eaten here several times now, and it's always been a nice experience. The food is excellent, the decor fits well with the restaurant's theme, and the service is very good; which isn't always easy to find in a city filled with tourist restaurants and so so service. I would highly recommend trying this place out if you're in the mood for good Thai food, and as one comment noted Tapa'ed out.

We were looking for a place to eat lunch about 4 pm and passed by Nelumbo. The doors were open but the person said that he would feed us even though they were not officially open. The result was a veritable smorgasbord of fine, FINE food. The curry was wonderful and we sampled quite a bit. I thought it was very nice of the restaurant serving us even though they were not open. The interior is warm and inviting, with fantastic wall and ceiling treatments. There is a fine wall fountain that is pleasurable to listen to. If you're ever on Carrer Aribau and want to eat, stop into Nelumbo.

Es un excelente lugar de comida thai! los platos son muy buen tamaño y el sabor de todo lo que pedimos parecía excelente. la atmósfera es muy agradable y la decoración también invita mucho. el servicio era perfecto y la experiencia en general es muy buena. Definitivamente volveré.

Un precio perfecto de combinación, nada caro, probamos el nenu y todo era perfecto, el servicio es muy atento también. el meu son 14 euros sin bebidas, pero así que vi en la carta, los precios fueron mucho mejorados. el lugar es encantador, con el techo y las paredes decoradas de una manera muy original. Hay un espacio donde el techo es una cascada de amapola. un lugar para volver.
