Our group of 30 people had a wonderful time at Arabesque. Almost all of us are from out of town, as far as Tokyo, Japan for the celebration of 50 years of International Business Global Summit. The food was excellent, especially the lamb chops. Hat off to our waitress, Gracy, who single handled our table. If you happen to be in town, be sure to come and taste some of the most delicious Lebanese dishes.

Can't order a gyro after lunch hours. Only gyro plates. Seems silly because they can obviously make a gyro, but ok.

First I want to start off saying I am a really big support of Arabesque from having my 28th birthday dinner there & many dates with my siblings on any given occasion. Today I was introducing my friend to the place because I love the place that much as was highly disappointed. For one I walked in and introduced my guest as “a newbie” meaning she is new to the entire atmosphere and food experience. Before ordering I asked if she could sample a piece of potato and green bean to make sure she is okay with ordering before washing an entree. Everything was no, no, & no. Fine! We get our entrees and the lamb wasn’t cooked appropriately to order and we made that be known. The sever seemed to be new & I completely understand all of that he was only doing his job, but was very nonchalant once we said that she didn’t want her entree. I then asked to speak to the manager and no manger showed up, instead we were told by the sever “to next time don’t order the lamb” when all we wanted was a different side and the lamb cooked up to the appropriate temperature. As a long time customer and fan of this place I am super disappointed in the treatment. Also as a server I would be uncomfortable to be put in a situation where management put me in an awkward position with the customer being that he’s obviously in training. I was still a great human and tipped him $11 exactly so they’ll know who I am speaking of when the review is read. My newbie also served in the Army and now we know she will not recommend her battles due to the lack of respect.

Enjoyed our lunch at Arabesque. Tried multiple items but Shish Tawouk stood out.Note to owner: we found falafel to be quite salty.
I wanted to have some authentic Lebanese food and I ordered a kefta with salad. They brought me a regular burger patty. I was very disappointed. You only need to add spices to the ground meat... I made my own today.

Great food, Grace our server was hilarious and very helpful with our dish choices. I've always wanted to try this place and so glad I got to!

We patronized this place last week, we were not disappointed! So my wife and I ordered a couple of the appetizers (the steamed muscles, Damascus bread, and appetizer sampler), a couple entrées (NZ lamb chops and mixed grill platter), and desert (Limoncello Mascarpone Cake and tiramisu). Everything was wonderful. The muscles were delicious, not too tough but not soft either. The sauce they came in was a wonderful compliment. The sampler had delicious humus. The stuffed grape leaves were not bad, but I thought maybe had a touch of bitterness (maybe from the brine?). The Damascus bread was SO GOOD! I had to remind myself to keep my carbs down and not eat it all. My wife and I thought our entrées were very good. The meat was all tender and flavorful. The shrimp on the grill platter were huge! I also liked that the chicken was tender, not overcooked. My wife thought the lamb chops were also delicious, the rice and vegetables were a wonderful accompaniment. She's not a big lamb lady, but for this one time she took the plunge and she enjoyed the dish very much (consuming all the chops first). The desert was probably a bad decision, we were already so full and probably should not have aggravated our stomachs with more food. But upon seeing the Mescarpone and Tiramisu, we couldn't possibly turn it down! Both were so delicious and so rich! I didn't know if Lebanese cuisine delved into something Italian like these, but they definitely did a great job preparing them. We probably added 4 percentage points to our body-fat proportion that night, but it was well worth it! The service was good; we were attended to regularly and the food was brought out in good time. The restaurant's decor and dining area was very appealing to the senses. There's a front area that looks more relaxed and a traditional seating in the back area. It did have a feel that took us away from SC for a bit. 5 for 5 on everything, we will come back. Thanks guys.

Had a great date night on Saturday. We ordered the mussels, lentil soup, lamb chops, and the shawarma platter with the lamb. Everything was excellent!! Also tried the chicken skewers and cream grilled veggies. 10/10! ????
