La comida es bastante dulce y en mi experiencia este dice que algo se falta en la manera para prepararle. Por ejemplo es como "glutamato de sodio mono" MSG en ingles que los restaurantes de pizza ponga para mejorar el sabor de sus pizzas.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Los tailles de la comida es a vez, bastante pequeno para el precio. Entre que dulce es y los tailles de la comida hay otros restaurantes que estan mejor.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;A mi el sito no es la comida!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27030892/6748613609008831233/comments/default/3684089058852313684'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27030892/6748613609008831233/comments/default/3684089058852313684'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://comerenbarcelona.blogspot.com/2007/03/restaurante-bembi.html?showComment=1234937880000#c3684089058852313684' title=''/><author><name>phunkysquirrel</name><uri>http://phunkysquirrel.livejournal.com/</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://comerenbarcelona.blogspot.com/2007/03/restaurante-bembi.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27030892.post-6748613609008831233' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27030892/posts/default/6748613609008831233' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27030892.post-3769869568192715740</id><published>2009-02-17T15:49:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-02-17T15:49:00.000+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Me alegro de tus comentarios porque mañana iré a c...</title><content type='html'>Me alegro de tus comentarios porque mañana iré a comer allí.

One is a serious health warning for any diabetic. The second is to anyone expecting an Indian cuisine with much flavour. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The first warning, my blood sugar went up to dangerous levels to 300 and after taking 12 units from my pen, it stayed at the 280 mark the next morning without taking any sugar inducing drink or food the next morning. This restaurant OUGHT to point this out to people attending the restaurant. For this reason, I will point out this review is, on the whole, negative.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;In effect the sugar situation was like eating a meal of 2 medium sized mars bars for dinner.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;In my experience of indian restaurants of Barcelona there are 4 seperate types.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;   1. The cheap ingredients: mainly found in the Ravel region. Cauliflower, peas and thick cut carrot found in the majority of dishes. To make up for the obvious lack of taste in the food, a huge portion of sugar is added to the sauces.&lt;BR/&gt;   2. The natural cookers but Brit focused. Again, peas, cauli flower, carrot but taste is not introduced by sugar - example - Veg World.&lt;BR/&gt;   3. Nouveau cuisine: Bembi fits into this place. Basically it means chopping out bad basis in style over substance. When you leave the restaurant feeling hungry its not a good sign. Whereas Habaluc, C/Enric Granados 41. Tel.93 452 2928, web www.restaurant-habaluc.com - get nouveu RIGHT!&lt;BR/&gt;   4. The betters.... The food isn't the typical everything in the dish is peas or peas and meat or peas, cauliflower and meat... but heavy on the peas...&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;An example of the betters is with: Om india as a big selection of dishes for veges and meat eaters. They seem to turn around a lot of good chefs as different nights the taste and style of the food is different. I've taken people to Om india and it's been very good... other nights - not so much. But you get well fed for the price. However, my blood sugar has never been a total of 300 after eating and injecting and 280 the next day before injection!&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Let's go through the bembi experience:&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Service&lt;BR/&gt;------------------------&lt;BR/&gt;Getting seated and pre-booking: very good... it can even be done with email and via their website.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Dishes: Poor&lt;BR/&gt;------------------------&lt;BR/&gt;The appetizer is a joke. It was 3 mini poppadoms and a little larger than a 2pence coin but laced with sugar.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;A starter that came out and was just enough to share. This was like 4 euros for a pitiful size of ONE samosa. And it was not very big at all.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Main course.&lt;BR/&gt;------------------------&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Tasteless, small and undelightful. By tasteless we mean it had was as totally unrewarding as paying a heck load of money for something that was just unimagined. There's a total of 2 vegetarian dishes, a la carte, mine was one of them. Why cannot I remember it. Well, apart from all the sugar killing my short term memory, neither did it leave me with a feeling of completion or rememberance.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;On the plus side&lt;BR/&gt;------------------------&lt;BR/&gt;Their wine list is rather short and for Barcelona, exceptionally overpriced. The owners are British Indian. Their family and themselves feature in some of the photos in their marketing material and website. The service was good&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The bad. &lt;BR/&gt;------------------------&lt;BR/&gt;Expect to come out feeling hungry. We choose a nice wine - but their wine list isn't exactly huge and its over priced for a lot of wine that is found in other restaurants for lot less.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Overall &lt;BR/&gt;------------------------&lt;BR/&gt;Give it a miss. There's other restaurants doing more interesting food Habaluc is unpretnetious and is one of them. To be honest a there's a vegetarian restautant Amaltea offering the same tasting food, for a lot less money and pretention.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Save yourself the disappoinment - don't go.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27030892/6748613609008831233/comments/default/6881402851686111693'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27030892/6748613609008831233/comments/default/6881402851686111693'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://comerenbarcelona.blogspot.com/2007/03/restaurante-bembi.html?showComment=1209684180000#c6881402851686111693' title=''/><author><name>helruna</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03973825400605894808</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://comerenbarcelona.blogspot.com/2007/03/restaurante-bembi.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27030892.post-6748613609008831233' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/27030892/posts/default/6748613609008831233' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27030892.post-901238590116255733</id><published>2007-03-18T11:41:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-03-18T11:41:00.000+01:00</updated><title type='text'>El Bembi tiene buena pinta...
