Stopped at this restaurant for a quick lunch and I can’t stop thinking about the food! Will definitely visit again! We had the halloumi, king prawns, the sigara borek and potatoes. They were all delicious and looked amazing. Food also came quickly and service was good.
Really tasty evening here at Arabica. We came as I received a gift voucher for Christmas, and the food was exceptional. We opted for the chef’s selection for the table, and had 2 cocktails as well. The cocktails took a while to come, and because of this, we weren’t charged for them which was a nice touch. The food was delicious. A particular favourite was the halloumi in black honey, and the falafels. The hummus was great too. Thank you very much, I highly recommend.
Really good restaurant located in a great area. The service was really good, and the staff were really friendly. The food was delicious, I would definitely come back!
Top choice! Amazing food and lovely service. Made my daughter's birthday celebration special. If you get chance - go! But do book in advance, it's busy.
Traversed the Borough Market for the first time today, and it was wild! So many food varieties and combinations to choose from. We grabbed chicken shawarma from Arabica—fantastic. The flavors were spot-on, and watching the bread get charred on the grill before being wrapped and grilled again added an extra layer of goodness. We also got a Pistachio Birds Nest (very similar to Baklava.) The man running it was very friendly and worked fast.
This is a wonderful restaurant offering modern Middle Eastern cuisine. The food is delicious, and the staff is friendly and welcoming, creating a warm atmosphere. I've already been back several times and will definitely return again!
Wonderful first experience at ARABICA. The Baba Ghanoush was so fresh and flavorful. The pickles were great, crunchy, and the right amount of sour. The Halloumi Cheese was impeccable. The chicken and pistachio dish was spectacular. Definitely a new experience. Lastly, we got the lamb adana kofte which was cooked to perfection.
Beautiful little restaurant in the middle of Borough Market. They serve Lebanese food and have some very artsy creative dishes. Portions aren't huge (like one sometimes expect from Arab restaurants), but the quality of the food is really good. I would especially recommend the pistachio chicken, the cauliflower and the aubergines.
