ArAbesQue Lagos

This place is lovely. I think the bathroom is my favorite place. The food is yummy too and it’s a lot of food for the price. I enjoyed every bit of it. You can either be outside or inside. We chose inside because it was for our end of year dinner. Outside looks so good at night though. I love the place a must visit. When I asked for warm water they offered to boil for me which was really nice even though I had to buy a bottle of water. They also mixed my order and swiftly changed it without complains. The goat meat is juicy and flowing with flavors. The fish delicious, I think they need to serve the rice with a sauce not just like that because it was too bland.

This place is so beautiful and it’s hidden.
What’s more? It’s not pricey. The food is a 5/10. Their beef/lamb/meat are a delight to the taste buds but their sauces taste like pepper with a little bit of spice ????????.

So I’d recommend their fries as a side instead of the rice.

I’m sorry I couldn’t snap the menu, I was having such a good time that I forgot ????????

Sadly I give Arabesque one star for its ambience and one star for hmmmm food.
Arabesque has been on my to visit restaurant list for a very long time. A short four minutes walk from my home, I'm constantly walking past it as I take walks and drives and admire the building exterior and cars. Today I took the leap and visited with friends.
I took 20 minutes for the waiters to finally come and take my order even though they were prioritizing clearing tables for no one waiting. When I finally called over a waiter, his manager took over, I complained about the service and he apologized. My friend suggested that they may be understaffed but, I asked him if there was a crowd, and the answer was no, so we agreed that the issue might be poor hiring or improper training.
When the food came, I had to ask them to return the main course as they brought it with the appetizer. For a high end establishment, a clear NO. It cheapened a very nice looking place.
The first item was the Hommos with beef, bland, flavorless and a total fail. The beef was in chunks and flavored wrong. I recommend you check out the Hommos at the Syrian club for comparison.
The main course was one platter of seafood and a platter of grill with saffron and a Lebanese rice. The jumbo fried shrimp was at the edge of burnt, the calamari was ok, potatoes were great, but the rest hmmmmmm. The grill was just ok... a tiny piece of lamb, some sausage, chicken etc. OK
Arabesque looks good (appearance) but not recommended if you're a food lover.... Service is the worst, and I told the head waiter, once you have to apologize several times, it's a wash.
I hope to visit a better establishment in the future....

A girl made a stop here to try out middle eastern food and here’s what I think.

- The space is absolutely beautiful ????, and cultural in a contemporary way. They have an indoor restaurant that has a low light and is so suitable for Falentine- sorry Valentine! But the gist is; love birds should dine in.
I’m so in love with the outdoor area, cozy, clean and pretty. There’s a whole lotta of Shisha and I think it comes even more alive late evening.

- The Food: So I seldom have middle eastern food so it still tastes foreign to my tastebuds, long story short I’m not the best judge. The portions were okay and the fries were perfectly seasoned. I had to ask for Ata-Rodo sauce to enjoy the mixed grill I had but it was a decent meal.

-The Drink: I had Lebanese lemonade and it was so refreshing! Reminded me of a daiquiri cause it’s served frozen. Long story short I’m done with regular lemonade

- Service: The service is note worthy, didn’t get the name of the waitstaff that attended to me but he was so so pleasant! He was friendly all through my stay and guess what he was good with a camera so I got shots on my solo date ????.

I’ll definitely be back to try out even more meals, I mean I didn’t get an authentic sharwarma or hummus during my visit.
I recommend making a stop ✅

Budget: N12k - N20k per head

The food is reasonably priced and the ambience is great.

You menu isn't limited to cliché dishes, so you can do as much exploring as you want. I had the veg rolls and the phonecian fries and both were really, really good.

Also, for a Friday evening Arabesque was not as crowded as a lot of other places would be. For someone who isn't a fan of loud music and crowds, this was a plus for me ????

ArAbesQue is a well-kept secret. A perfectly themed and beautiful space. If you fancy middle eastern cuisine, I’m not sure there is any place better. Menu options are plentiful so you’re not constrained. Take that special person.

Lovely ambiance, beautifully arrange sitting and space. Takes you on a journey out of Lagos. Food is great ! And prices are worth the service. Definitely doing this again.
