Restaurante Andalucia - Mannheim in Mannheim

We were totally disappointed. We waited forever for the food, and when it finally arrived, it was completely unsalted and tasted absolutely nothing. The service was okay, but not at all friendly. The only good thing was the ambiance—but that didn't save it. Honestly: I don't recommend it at all; it was a total disaster. We definitely won't be back.

Very good tapas, friendly service, live music, pleasant atmosphere

It's like being in Spain, loved the music and the food, and the special wine is also recommended

Not a single visit over the years has been disappointing in any way. The staff is always very friendly, and the food is delicious! A BIG plus point is that you can eat there so late, a rarity in Mannheim in my experience!

We spontaneously chose this restaurant yesterday to celebrate our son's birthday. Honestly, the opening hours until 3 a.m. reinforced our choice. 😁 We were absolutely surprised. The atmosphere was amazing. The food was excellent. The service was very good. ...and then the live music was the icing on the cake. We were very happy to have had a wonderful evening with our son and his friends. Best wishes from Viersen

Rarely have I had such poorly delivered food. Paella like in the freezer. Beware of rip-offs.

Our favorite restaurant for years. Both in-store and for home delivery, the tapas are always high-quality, delicious, and authentic. The staff and owner are very friendly and accommodating.

Your drivers bought their driver's license, so safety distance is a foreign concept to them.

The tapas selection is fantastic, and the ambiance is incredibly beautiful.

Quaint and traditionally decorated. We had a table reservation. The service was rather casual but also very friendly. The food was delicious. We want to come back.

I was absolutely thrilled with the Andalucia restaurant. The food was incredibly delicious and perfectly prepared. The staff were consistently attentive, friendly, and courteous, without being intrusive. The atmosphere was pleasantly Andalusian and charming, making the visit a thoroughly enjoyable experience. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who appreciates high-quality cuisine in friendly company. I'd love to come back!

We're not going there anymore. We ate there in September and wanted to try it out. The seating was great and cozy. Unfortunately, the great impression was over by the time we ate. We had the starter, main course, and dessert, and everything was rather mediocre. The starter was the tastiest. The main course was really not good. Both the fish and the meat dish were bland and didn't taste great. The dessert was okay. You don't have to have it, but you can. To top it all off, 3 out of 5 people had stomach cramps. So, something was wrong. We think the alioli wasn't good. The waiters also didn't really have an eye for the restaurant, and it often happened that they "just stood around" even though we wanted to order something. A starter was also forgotten. We won't go there again for the price or the food. Not recommended.

Very good food, very nice service, even with live music, there is one drawback but if you come by car it is extremely difficult to find a parking space unless you drive just under 1km to the parking garage

Five of us ate there, and it was fantastic. Everything from tapas to paella was excellent. Great flavor and some of the dishes were quite garlicky, which we personally find really great. The staff was friendly and very attentive. We had a great evening and it certainly won't be the last time we go there. There was also live music, which rounded off the evening nicely. Thank you.

The four of us had 11 tapas bowls and everything was delicious to mega delicious

Andalucia in Mannheim impresses with its authentic Spanish atmosphere. Sitting under the vines is especially lovely. Tapas are a must here – creamy aioli and crispy patatas bravas stand out. The highlight: the paella, aromatic and perfectly prepared. A place you'll gladly return to.

The food was very tasty and the service was also very nice

Good food, a bit slow service, great atmosphere (especially inside). No card payments accepted (as of early August 2025).

I ordered food at 1 a.m. It was about a 20-minute drive. The food arrived quickly, was super tasty, and fresh! I highly recommend it!

The food is very tasty and the sangria is also good to drink.

Old potatoes. Mhno food. We will return again.

Awesome location and an excellent restaurant! Authentic and simply fantastic. The only thing I have to complain about was the peas in the paella. Keep up the good work.

We were here recently with our two small children and had a wonderful evening. The food was delicious, especially the prawns in a pan with garlic. The evening was accompanied by a singer with a guitar, which immediately made you feel like you were on vacation. The service was very friendly and child-friendly. Our son received a small guitar from the waitress for the evening, which he was very happy about. What I also found very commendable was that some guests came who wanted to sit near us and smoke there, but the waitress asked them to sit further away so that the smoke wouldn't reach us because of the children. We noticed this very positively and have never experienced it in any other restaurant. We would love to come back! 😊

Sat outside nicely. Food was reasonable had a fish variety but was only one kind

I booked for 7:00 PM and they booked me for 7:45 PM. It's no problem. All my guests waited, and they got us some tables. Positive point for you. The tapas were very good, except for the tortilla, which wasn't great in texture or flavor, but they can improve it. I know they can. The waiters brought me several times a total of 8 bottles of sparkling water (Classic), which is the most carbonated. However, they brought me open bottles, and when I tasted the water, it contained a very small, noticeable amount of gas. So I ordered another round of 4 more bottles, but I wanted to open them at my table. I specifically asked that they not bring me open bottles from the bar. They brought me 4 more bottles of sparkling water, all opened, with the waiter's excuse: "My colleague already opened them." Likewise, the Classic water bottles contained a very small, noticeable amount of gas. So I ordered four more bottles, and in a very bad mood, I asked for four more bottles and asked them to stop bringing me refilled bottles to the bar with the gas siphon. I told them it's unhygienic because those bottles could have been on other tables and someone could have drunk directly from the bottle. This is unhygienic. I complained, and the waiter told me it's better quality that way. I didn't slap him because he was quite old compared to me. I also thought it was disrespectful that the torta, which was huge, was half-eaten—more than 12 large-sized pieces. I told the staff we could each have a slice and they could give me the rest to go. When I asked for what was left of the torta, they told me there wasn't even a slice left. Did they eat it all? Incredible and disrespectful, really. Bottom line for the paella. I ordered three large seafood paellas for a total of 17 adults, and the paellas were more like rice than seafood. Each large paella pan only came with four shrimp, six squid rings, and about four mussels. Gentlemen, we're paying for 17 people, so we ended up eating flavorless rice. The meatballs with tomato sauce, I think, are from Lidl, taste the same; you don't get the impression they're made with quality meat and in their kitchen. The paella is truly a zero, and I apologize, but I think they can improve. I know they can. A negative point is that you have to pay in cash. The service was always good. I'll come back in 2026 and give them another chance, and I hope what happened this year, which was my first time there, doesn't happen to me again.

Cash only (Almost) Everyday live music. Packed with stuff from Spain.

Very bad and old food... a very burnt and yellow tortilla I think it was a few days old and the patatas bravas looked terrible... the salad was clearly not fresh...

The food is actually great. The service was good too. A bit pricey, but still recommended.

We wanted to reserve a table because we'd received a recommendation and the menu looked good. Warned by other reviews, we called and were told no card payments! We found another option. A Girocard is the minimum requirement for us. It's affordable.

Muy Bonito (: also some vegan choices, absolutely recommended

We ordered online and had the food delivered. The communication was great, the delivery was extremely punctual, and the delivery driver was super nice. The food was perfect—highly recommended.

I love Andalucia-Mannheim; I've been a guest there for over 20 years. Thank you very much.

A truly beautiful restaurant, both inside and out. The interior was my absolute highlight. So lovingly and comfortably decorated, simply beautiful. The food was amazing! Fresh and hot. The portions were huge and the price was completely fair! The staff were super friendly and accommodating. Especially the older man with his guitar and singing. ❤️💛❤️

The paelia had no taste,.. I saw with my friends a lady pay with the debit card, when I asked to pay with the card he got angry saying that he doesn't want the bank to take commissions and you can only pay with cash in hand.. he made me go to the bank to withdraw money late at night.. and he didn't give me a receipt,,, shame on me

Whenever I come to Manchester, I stop by Andalusia... The service and the food are a pleasure.

Good food, a lovely atmosphere with live music; no card payments accepted

Place is nice, we had a paella and it was not bad. Service so so. Only cash payment is the downside of this restaurant.

The tapas are delicious and the dishes are beautifully presented. There's often subtle live Spanish music with guitar and vocals. A lovely outdoor dining area with vines. Prices are reasonable... some specialties are a bit more expensive but taste great. Highly recommended if you like authentic Spanish cuisine.

Quality is lacking in every area! It's a shame for the prices; you'd expect something better. It starts with the food served there, which is disastrous. A piece of toilet paper is better, and that's just a small example!

Unfortunately we didn't eat well here. The tapas did not meet our expectations. It all felt like a finished product. Very disappointing.

5 stars!!! An absolutely amazing experience! This Spanish restaurant is brimming with spirit - people cook, laugh and live with passion here! As soon as you enter you are warmly welcomed, the music immediately puts you in a good mood, and the staff are not only attentive but also wonderfully humorous. The food? A poem! Authentic, fresh and with a lot of taste - like a short vacation in Spain. The tapas and paella in particular are a must. If you're looking for real Spanish flair, a lively atmosphere and an evening full of laughter, this is the right place for you. I'll definitely be back!

Great restaurant, good food, music and flamenco, nice service, nice ambience

Everything was a bit old. Potato slices didn't taste good at all, thin excuse, nothing else. Too expensive for that.

Very tasty food and nice atmosphere 😍 can only be recommended

We ordered yesterday via Lieferando. I had a salad with cheese and the price performance ratio was pretty outrageous. A bit of iceberg lettuce, an egg, two slices of tomato and two halved slices of cheese for 12.90 - respect. The portion was more of a side salad.

I ordered peeled scampi, opened the container and stared straight into the eyes. Legs are also attached, so you can put the whole dish away straight away if you deliberately order “peeled scampi”.

The food was okay, what spoiled my appetite was the hair. A salad. and only one salad arrived for two people.

We ordered a seafood paella and calamari. Both inedible, especially the calamari which cost over €17. We had to throw both away. Don't order there!

Great Spanish food and full of international currency notes

We always enjoy coming to Andalucia. Even long after midnight you can get the best, freshly prepared food here. The seafood paella is highly recommended. Delicious. Inside it is very comfortably furnished with lots of Spanish decoration. In summer you can sit outside on the terrace, which is completely green. Holiday feeling. Plus live guitar playing with vocals. The waitresses are all very attentive and accommodating. Beautiful and super good here.

I went there for the first time about 2 weeks ago. My family and I drove past it by chance and saw it. We had dinner and the food was very good (the waiting time for the paellas is a bit long, but the wait is repaid with a super taste). I went back after 3 weeks and the experience was still super. We tried fried anchovies, prawns, vegetarian, meat and fish paella and they tasted delicious. I have read in other reviews that the service is poor and that the staff are rude. Absolutely false. The waiters and waitress were all very kind and helpful to me, I don't understand the negative comments. I recommend going there on Thursday evenings because there are Flamenco dancers. I will definitely come back

Wonderful experience in an Andalusian restaurant! The food was simply delicious – especially the fresh seafood paella, which was seasoned to perfection. The tapas such as albóndigas and fried fish were also excellent and authentically prepared. The rosé wine was a dream – fragrant, fruity and very tasty! The atmosphere in the restaurant was very pleasant: cozy, warm and with live guitar music - simply typically Spanish! The service was friendly and attentive. A real culinary highlight that I can recommend to everyone!

The food is very tasty! Evening show fantastic

You really feel a bit like you're in Spain. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is cozy. Unfortunately, the fish was very oily; it practically floated in the plate. But it was still delicious.

Always nice, always friendly, we like to be there with several colleagues. Price performance appropriate

It's always nice to be here. There is live Spanish music and occasional Spanish dancing. The food is really very tasty. From tapas to paella, fish platters or even plate dishes, everything is there. The price is really fair. The staff is very accommodating and the ambience is in a historic Spanish style. We traveled 1.5 hours for our birthday. The birthday child even received a personal serenade with a guitar. So warm... There was one star less for the food, but that's really not a criterion because the fish plate only consisted of fried fish, which made it greasy. But that's just a personal feeling...there are certainly enough people who love it ☺️ we'll definitely be back. In the best case scenario, reserve in advance. And currently only cash payment applies.

2025 Update: Over the years I've developed some experience of _fake_ paella done at home with frozen mixed vegetables and turmeric and sadly noted some suspicious similarities. The vegetarian paella I had at the restaurant was quite crusty on the bottom like it should be, otherwise it would be just rice and vegetables. However, the same shade of yellow was also present in the _side_ rice of a fellow diner of mine, making me wonder whether the paella had real safran or not. The bread with aioli during the wait was this time very pale and mushy and indeed coming from a plastic bag. At least make the effort to toast it a bit. I hope it's not the same used for the tapas that you have to order and pay for. I hope it was just a bad day, also sad because there was no Estrella Galicia beer, but the replacement was a good German Hefeweizen from tap. That, although being on tap, they didn't want to pour a 0.3, probably due to the lack of glasses (that exist nevertheless). I must unfortunately lower the score of my review. First review from 2023: I have zero paella experience and ordered the meat one. It took a while to arrive -- almost one hour -- but given the preparation method it's quite reasonable. The house offered bread, olives and aioli appetizers to kill the wait. They were OK, the bread a bit anonymous if you ask me. Coming from a mediterranean country myself, I've seen nicer bread. I'm not sure whether chicken breast skewers belong to a meat paella but nevertheless were a bit dry. But that's unfortunately an intrinsic downside of chicken meat. So perhaps using more tighs from the chicken or the rabbit (was there any at all?) would result in juicer meat. The chorizo sausage was nice and a good source of flavor for the dish, as well as the Estrella lager beer that accompanied the meal.

We had a lovely experience at Andalucia. The food was very good and the portions were very generous. The wine was yummy and the staff were friendly. It was good value for money.

Been here often. It was always a pleasure. Long open with warm kitchen. Prices are completely reasonable if you look at the competition. Please stay like that. Recommend everyone to go here for a relaxed tapas evening

Had dinner there with friends for the first time today. The service was very good 👍 nice, attentive and very friendly. The food was also great and prepared with love. A funny Spanish musician plucks his guitar and sings along. At a later hour two senioritas danced to the sounds of Spanish music... So that you had the feeling that you were on vacation. All in all a great evening 😍👍👌🔥

Außergewöhnliches Ambiente, irgendwie urig. Live-Gitarrenmusik und Gesang. Dafür die 2 Punkte. Ansonsten unterirdisch. Das Essen... 1x und nie wieder. Sorry, aber das war gruselig. Zu Hause dann Spätschäden. Puuhh!

The food was weak in taste. The interior unkempt. The service was good. Great live music!

Had stomach problems the next day. No response from operator

Unfortunately I can't say anything about the food because I was there as a service technician, but the menu promises a lot

Let's see, I'm from Andalusia and we went to dinner yesterday, the atmosphere is pretty good but the food in my opinion is too expensive and not enough, but we were comfortable. It is normal that they do not have the same ingredients as in Andalusia, since it is difficult to find, and as an Andalusian, it is normal that I notice it, but otherwise everything is great. If you miss your land you can stop by.

Very good food Super friendly staff Very nice atmosphere, will definitely be back Personally recommend the chicken; I've never eaten such great chicken as I did there.

We often go to Spain, and the paella at this restaurant is absolutely not tasty. Neither is the sangria... The live music is good. The musician played very well!

Incredibly delicious! Huge portions at great prices. Very friendly staff, and what I find very important, the entire staff is very child-friendly. A truly great atmosphere with live music and dancing. We'll definitely go back. Thanks for the great evening.

It was a beautiful atmosphere. Very authentic food and helpful service.

The restaurant Andalucia was not the best experience for me. On the positive side, the portions were generous, and the live music added some atmosphere, even though it was quite loud. However, the interior felt rather tacky, and the vibe wasn’t very inviting. As for the food, the rice was burnt and not very tasty, which was disappointing. On top of that, the lights went out a few times during the evening, which added to the overall discomfort. I wouldn’t recommend this place.

The food is delicious! The staff is very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere in the main room is great, but the back room is very dull, cold, and cramped. The menu could be a bit larger than at other Spanish restaurants. The prices for tapas and drinks are a bit steep. Despite that, the food is so delicious that you'll have to come back.

Great restaurant, we felt very comfortable! The food was delicious, the service was always attentive and cheerful, and there was a flamenco performance that was very successful. Thank you very much and highly recommended!

Best Spanish shop in Mannheim 10/10

Spanish restaurant with good food and friendly, attentive service. The decor is a bit dark and overly decorated.

very nice atmosphere, very friendly staff and very tasty food.

Service, dishes, ambience, mood everything is simply PERFECT!!! Highly recommended!!! Always my pleasure. Thank you

We had our Christmas party in the restaurant, everything went great and the atmosphere was great thanks to the live music, thank you

We've been celebrating my future husband's birthday there for three years and generally always enjoy going there. The food is always great, the friendliness and courtesy are so great, in the summer we go there every other weekend if possible, the live music and the dance evenings are just lovely, you always feel a little bit close to Spain - we love it PS: I was even allowed to charge my cell phone a bit, that was very, very nice. Thank you. Greetings go out to the young man 😄

A great and family restaurant where children are also welcome, the staff is very friendly. The food is very tasty and the portions are very large. 8 of us ate and had to have the rest packed up because it was too much. The live music and the 2 ladies who danced in Spanish, simply beautiful and unexpected for us, we were happy. We can only recommend it. We would be very happy to come back.

Very tasty food and hospitable staff. I definitely recommend it!

We stayed in Mannheim for one night and found this super delicious restaurant relatively spontaneously. After a small round of tapas, which was simply delicious, we moved on to the main course. Of course it had to be paella and it was fantastic. The delicious food tasted even better thanks to a great ambience that makes everyone want to travel for a short time. This was rounded off with live music and two flamenco dancers. All in all, a great recommendation!

The ambience is now very old and greasy, and the food… falta el amór!

Great restaurant with very tasty food, we used the delivery service and the food came very quickly, the delivery person was very nice and the food was warm and tasty.

Very authentic Spanish cuisine. The tapas are great. The paella is always made fresh. You can taste it and you shouldn't leave this restaurant without Crema Catalan for dessert, otherwise you've really missed something.

Four of us ate here. One paella with fish and one with meat for two people each. Very tasty and nothing to complain about. However, the paella with fish could have a little more fish on it. They really saved money there. The waitresses were very friendly and regularly asked if there was anything else. Ambience very unusual, but really nice. You can see that the inventory grows over the years. We also had live music. Drinks were very tasty, especially the sangria. But you still have to practice with dessert. The creme brulee had a layer of sugar about 1 cm thick on it, which was definitely too thick. The service also confirmed this to us. Unfortunately we couldn't eat them. We also had a brownie with a warm liquid center. However, one side was extremely cold and the other was very warm. So unfortunately not all sides were heated evenly. Except for the dessert, it was really top and recommended. It was really nice and always a pleasure.

Great authentic cuisine, nice service and beautiful outdoor area. Absolutely recommended! Reservations in advance are advisable 😉

Perfect Spanish restaurant. Service first class, food perfect, wine excellent, live music at its best. ❤️

Ich wurde vom Chef zur Sau gemacht, weil ich einen Teil meiner Rechnung mit Kleingeld zahlen wollte. Personal stand daneben und hat mich offen ausgelacht und es nicht mal versucht zu verstecken.

Nice restaurant with classic Spanish tapas…. Live music incl

Great food, great service and a great atmosphere. You feel like you are on vacation in Spain. Live music and dancing are offered. A small minus point, you can't pay by card. It's not up to date and you had to run to the ATM late in the evening to pay the bill. Thanks to the team, see you next time.

Just spend a few hours in Spain, right around the corner 😉

Bad loading, not worth it at all

Items were charged twice in the bill and we were forced to pay almost €60 more for things we hadn't consumed. You don't treat customers like that at all. It's a shame because the flamenco show was really good.

Food delicious, service without complaint, ambience could be a little more loving and the plants could use some care or should be watered 😁🙈

The seafood Paella was quite nice And the butter was exquisite I didn't like that the bread wasn't toasted and the option itself was not available. The appetizers were just ok The price is a bit steep though

Here for the first time in 17 years (due to a change of residence) and immediately caught fire again, it was a great evening 😍

I loved this restaurant with live Spanish and Cuban songs. Sometimes a little loud, for those who want to chat, but I loved it, honestly I held back from dancing with it. Very good quality food and this woody taste of the Paella.. Hummm!! If you have a foreign note lost in your wallet like me at home, take it with you and add it to their note wall. 💵💷👍🏾

Delicious tapas in a cozy and family atmosphere. Even though it's right on the ring, it's nice to sit outside. We're always happy to come back!

Just sitting in the restaurant, super tasty tapas. Subtle live music.

Great tapas without a lot of frills, very good service, rustic atmosphere and live music. Relaxed!
