Arabesque

What makes the restaurant great

Arabesque is in a class all our own and is one of the few upscale Middle Eastern restaurants in the city. Arabesque offer a 100% HALAL menu full of high quality and delicious comfort food. Egyptian cuisine and some of its recipes date back 5000 years and archaeologists have even revealed the use of food as a means of payment during ancient times. Of course, there have been some adjustments to the dishes over the years, mainly with the addition of ingredients and styles taken from other cultures (note the dropping of alcholic drinks has also been a part of this change). Egyptian cuisine depends heavily on legumes such as beans and lentils as well as vegetables and onions making a regular appearance in most dishes. Vegetarians mormally have no problem getting by in Egypt since meat has traditionally been expensive and thus less common. Around the Egyptian coast you will find more fish in the meals. The Egytian Bread Aish also forms part of most of the meals. Did you know that Aish is the Egyptian word for bread and also means life. Also, if you find there is no cutlery, it is common to use your bread to “spoon” the food. Most ingredients and spices are imported from Egypt to ensure authenticity of all our dishes you are invited to dine alfresco, smoke shisha and enjoy some beer and wine while you relax in style.
