One of my favorite places and it never disappoints! Their pizza, pasta, steak and chicken are the best around!!! The service is... wonderful and staff, especially Shelly and Peter, are the best! I love the Atmosphere, even more on Fridays with the saxophoneplayer!! I can?t get enough of this place! Read more
Guys we just had another FANTASTIC dinner with friends tonight at Arabesque..I have lived in Columbia most of my life, and I... have NEVER had cuisine quite like this around here. We had a whole spread of delicacies, including the mixed grill with 5different types of meat, rice, vegetables, etc..this thing by itself feeds 4 people easily! The flavor in this food is over theTOP good, I've never really liked hummus but this place has completely changed my palette. Emily and I are without a doubt, inlove with this spot.

We came here because they have a larger selection than most of vegan & vegetarian cuisine. There was a little wait but the live... music helped pass the time. Our server Emily was amazing. She had the best smile and great energy. We had the ArabesqueAppetizer Sampler and the veggie pizza with vegan mozzarella. The hummus and baba ganoush were so flavorful and the Damascusbread was light and tender. The veggie pizza had a lot of flavor and the crust had the perfect crunch. Read more
Arabesque was awesome! We came here for dinner & we had an entire room to ourselves! I shared the small Greek pizza, and we got... the cheese rolls (which were amazing) & the falafel. We also got the tiramisu & baklava. The tiramisu was absolutely brilliant &my brother loved the baklava! The service was great and food came quickly and was very hot and fresh! I would highly recommendthis place to anyone who is looking for good middle eastern & Greek food! Read more
The atmosphere is great! This was my first time coming here. It wasn't busy when I walked in. The waitresses didn't really... acknowledge me so I had to ask the only male waiter they had and he seemed receptive and welcoming. The wine selection andcocktails were great! The hummus and bread was perfection! The bread was hot and the hummus blended perfectly. I ordered themixed grilled platter since it's my first time here. The plate looked clean, the food was well presented, and well proportioned.The chicken chunks were bland. The kafta was flavorful, the tenderloin was tender. The shrimp looked bland and under seasonedlike the chicken. BUT everything was served hot and for the most part fulfilled my memories of flavors I experienced overseas.The food was good, not excellent but good and I will DEFINITELY come back with friends.

Arabesque is a fantastic place to eat. You don't have a lot of great options in Columbia for good mediterranean and... middle-eastern food, but this is a solid place. Happy hour is definitely what you want to do here and eat tapas and drink. Theshawarma is really good. I found that the food is a little expensive, but you can eat reasonably and eat a filling meal. Theatmosphere is really neat and I enjoyed eating there. The service was exceptional and I felt taken care of my whole meal. All inall, I would eat here again and I would enjoy it immensely. I would like to add the location of the restaurant is great! It'ssuper easy to get to and in and out of! Read more
Visited this restaurant for the first time in Valentine's Day for a date night. We loved the atmosphere in the bar area.... Beautifully decorated and the live saxophone music was great. We loved that they had several plant based options, as we arevegan. Their homemade lentil soup was really good. We also tried the stuffed grape leaves, a veggie pizza without cheese and aplate of rice with grilled veggies. The rice and grilled veggies were very greasy with added oil, so I didn't care for that.Everything else was great! We will be back for sure! Read more
First time! Excellent food. Highly recommend the Schwarma plate (pictured here). Waitress could have been more attentive but... didn't interfere with the experience. Would definitely come back Read more
