Every aspect of the dining experience was perfect! Incredibly comfortable seating, and or staff (Erin) was extremely attentive, and knowledgeable about the cuisine.
It was the freshest tabouli, hummus, and babaganoush I have ever had, and their brunch is very ambitious. No let downs, and they offer a military/veteran discount as well :)

This has been a family favorite place of ours for years, and we never visit extended family here without stopping by at least once.
Their bread and hummus, and kebabs, especially, are homemade and flavorful
Vegetarian options: As with most good Mediterranean restaurants, the vegetarian options are broad.
Parking: Occasionally, evening parking is a little crowded, but one can generally find a place to park if one but drives around for a couple of minutes.

The food is fantastic… truly authentic Lebanese fare! And portions are generous enough to take some home:) Honestly by the time we finish with appetizers we’re almost too full for the main entrees! I said almost!

Came in for dinner late Sunday. We sat at the bar. Bar tender was awesome. We are big lamb eaters, so I ordered the lamb shank over green beans and potatoes. WOW! Absolutely perfect!! .my mother said the lamb chops were absolutely Devine. Didn’t get a picture of the chops, she moved too fast! Will definitely be coming back again!

This was a sad review to post but I feel it must be done for hopefully the sake of saving this Restaurant. It used to be solid.
We’ll start with the good since it’s so short. Our waitress was amazing and the atmosphere is so chill and comfortable. The only redeeming food was the hummus and bread…which to be honest wasn’t special just the only item that wasn’t horrible. The grape leaves were ok…
Now for the entrees
As a man of Mediterranean decent, I know lamb must be an absolute specialty of the house when attending a place that affiliates with the Mediterranean… And maybe at one point years ago it was….however The $35lamb shank was meager and bland. Like…it came from the saddest skinniest oldest lamb ever. Compare that to places at a similar price point and it’s enough to actually make you upset at how ripped off you feel. Unfortunately it only gets worse. The beef tenderloin was chewy to the point of being inedible…and the shawarma like how do you mess that up, was lacking in flavor presentation and anything that one would enjoy.
again we’re not talking about cheap dishes here. It’s clear they’re sourcing from low quality vendors and attempting to pass it off for the sake of margins. For 125 bucks for 3 adults we’ll literally go anywhere else for less money and more enjoyable food. We won’t be coming back unless significant changes are made. Insanely disappointed and I truly hate to say that.

This was my first time visiting this place. The food was very authentic . Hummus was fresh. Great place if you are looking for vegetarian food and healthy choices. The best part is that everything was freshly cooked.
Arabesque on delivers an authentic taste of Arabic cuisine in the U.S. The kebabs are tender, hummus is creamy, and the fresh-baked bread is a highlight. Warm ambiance and friendly service complete the experience!

First time for dinner at this Lebanese spot in Columbia. Service and atmosphere were good, but unfortunately I can't say the same about the food. Nothing was bad, but it wasn't very good either. The bread was an exception, but everything else seemed bland/under seasoned.

Absolutely love this place the flavor of everything is amazing the hummus is definitely a must try it’s one of my favorite with the bread. First time trying the fried Kibbeh they didn’t disappoint at all and the Soujouk is my other favorite dish. My entrée I don’t get a pic of but it was good as well which was the mixed grilled platter. The atmosphere is amazing and the service was great. Will be back soon and definitely worth a try if you have never been
