Salamat Madrid
A sweet taste of Syria
Andrea from Madrid
Salamat sells Middle Eastern pasties. Syrian, which are made on-site with the best ingredients. All the classics are there - pistachio, walnuts, almonds, dates and honey stuffed into flaky filo or crumbly pastry. If you're in Madrid, treat yourself or buy some delicious delicacies to take to a dinner party or give as a gift.
This part of town is where I go when I need some more exotic ingredients, as the grocers here are mostly Bangladeshi and North African and sell all sorts of spices, as well as everything else you might need to make a good curry or couscous. And whenever I find myself in Calle Tribulete, I always stop by Salamat to get a few little sweets.
They also stock Middle Eastern bread, tahini and loose tea - if you are lucky, the lovely Syrian owner will offer you a complementary glass of hot sweet black tea, flavoured with cardamom.
So forget the diet, and put the kettle on!

I Want to be Her
Madrid in the 1980s was certainly rocking and she became a fixture in the city’s music scene, always going out in her famous leather jacket and cap.

Rebel Cafe
Let them eat cake
The apartment block this cafe sits under is an ugly beauty and I love it, not least for the exuberant planters that are an integral part of the building.

Want to try a real paella?
Although it’s a Galician restaurant, they do an excellent paella mixta (chicken and seafood) and arroz negro, flavoured and coloured with squid ink.
