Arabesque Family Restaurant

Best Mediterranean food in the city. Been coming here for 20 years and the food remains consistently great. Worth it every time.

Update: For Vegetarians just a bit of caution as we found out that the falafels are fried in the same oil as the fish is. For us this rules out dining here as we had been assured that everything was vegetarian and no cross contamination would occur. This may be an oversight by management and I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt as the owners are very customer focused. If they are reading this and could address this particular issue I will happily come back and give them my business, but I can't willingly eat falafels that have been fried in the same oil as fish or meat products. Same goes for fries.

The Tri City Food Ninjas stopped in to Arabesque this month. I cannot find the words to accurately convey how much I love this place. I love everything about it. The food is some of the best I have had since moving to the KWC region, the owners are humble, the employees enjoy being there and it’s all evidenced by our experience there. Pictured here is the lamb- which was cooked to perfection. The Muhammarah is the best I have ever had. In fact, it is one of the best things I have had, period. Unfortunately I got a little too excited for that and forgot to take a photo. I will sing the praises of Arabesque from the mountains from this moment forward. Will be celebrating every special occasion there.

On behalf of the community, thank you for doing what you do. You have something very special there.

First two times i came here was great I got chicken dishes and then the third time I came I tried something new which was the shish kebabs veal skewers and most of them were so chewy and hard to eat. The pieces that were tender were very good I wish all the pieces had tasted like that. Only other problem is each time i’ve come here the server always disappears and I always end up having to go find someone to get takeout containers and the bill. If i ever come again I will stick to chicken dishes only as I was very disappointed with the veal.

I love this restaurant, I have gone many time and have never been disappointed. Celebrated my 50th birthday there and had them cater my 60th and my husband's 65th. Great food, great prices, great service.

Excellent catering service. We ordered catering for a party of 70 and were very impressed with the food and service. Ordered directly with the owners and they were great to work with. They gave us very generous portions and the price was very fair. The food arrived at precisely the time we requested hot and fresh. We will definitely order again and we highly recommend!

We came as a group of seven for a birthday dinner and ordered the mixed family platter (for 5–6 people). The food was excellent — this was my second time here and it was just as good as the first. The only thing I’d mention to the business is to please keep an eye on the flies, as they were a bit noticeable. Otherwise, great experience and delicious food.

We love Arabesque, the food is always amazing, the service great and we always leave happy and satisfied.
Yesterday we were there around dinner time, 30 pp( including a few children) to celebrate a birthday.
Shout out to our server RAHAF, she was amazing and the whole team too.
Because the food took a little longer than usual, and expected with the size of our group, they have us a few extra plates of their delicious rice to make up for the wait.
Also, we brought a cake, to which they had no problem or charge any extra ( like some places do). We brought disposable for that , but RAHAF( server,) just told us not to worry and have us dessert plates and cutlery, so kind of her, Thank You 🙏🙏🙏!!! They even gave us a dessert tray full of baklava and sweets , all in the house.
Arabesque never disappoints, the food is always amazing and plentiful, the atmosphere is relax and family oriented and they never rush the customers to finish, which IMO it's a plus. We been going there for years and will be continuing being faithful customer if this amazing place in our community.

As usual a wonderful experience at Arabasque with Rashaf as our server.

We came with a party of 25, which can be quite challenging and we had a great experience and the food was delicious as always.
