"Visited on New Year’s Eve as a last minute change of plan, although it was a little busy we did wait a long time for them to take our order. Waited over half an hour to even be acknowledged and had to ask for them to take a drinks order and get a menu. Not the best service! No ice in the drinks, my beer seemed a little flat. As I said they were a little busy so just left it at that, starters arrived which were to their usual decent standard. When the mains came 1 of the party ordered a sizzler which I’m afraid to say was not sizzling, all the rest was ok. This is not my first visit to this restaurant and it’s just little things that keep just letting it down from being a good place in my opinion. The service and issues will not stop me from going again I will give them another go as the owners are really pleasant."

"We called in advance to reserve a table, which is recommended for busy evenings. (There was a previous instance where we waited for a table and ended up leaving because we were ignored.)"

"The service was excellent, and the food was outstanding. There were many new items on the menu that we hadn't tried before. We enjoyed a selection of dishes from every starter. Additionally, we had rice or naan and poppadoms, all for about £10 each—a great deal! The quality of the food was fantastic. We will definitely be going back!"

"The ambiance at this restaurant is pleasing. However, we noticed that our orders were taken after another couple that arrived after us, so the service could be more attentive. The breakfast we had was delicious. While the menu didn't mention an option for turkey speck, they were willing to add it to our order or replace it with something else when we asked. They also offer soy milk as an alternative option. One negative aspect to note is the restroom, which definitely needs improvement. There was black mold on the walls, the room was very cold, and we even saw a cockroach scurrying across the floor, with the kitchen located right next to it."

"It was chaos on the afternoon we visited as it was a very hot sunny Saturday, so when we finally got to order our 2 take out pitta sandwiches we were warned it would take a while. The guy on the till was very polite and friendly, apologetic for the wait and asked us to take a seat while we waited. He then followed up why we hadn’t received our food after 10 mins. No complaint at all on service, the sandwiches were lovely, fresh and worth the wait .Good variety of bottled drinks and reasonably priced."

"The food at this restaurant is incredibly delicious! I only tried it because someone insisted that their biryani was the best they had ever had, and they were right. The exterior may be unassuming and the decor questionable, but the service and food more than make up for it. I tried the mixed grill and the lamb biryani, both of which were amazing. If you enjoy this type of cuisine, I highly recommend giving this place a try!"

"The food at this restaurant was excellent, but despite making a reservation, we still had to wait. The staff seemed more apologetic towards walk-in customers who also had to wait. The service was okay, but not exceptional, and while the food was good, it was pricey compared to other establishments on Edgware Road. We were expecting a superior experience compared to other restaurants in the area, but instead, we received a similar one at a higher cost. It may be beneficial for the restaurant to reconsider how they justify their prices."

"Arabesque is very convenient if attending the Hampstead Theatre only a couple of minutes walk away. The food was very tasty and excellent value for money. The service was good and the waitress was very helpful with explaining the menu. It was a bit cold in the restaurant though and people were waiting for their takeaways near our table which ruined the ambiance a bit. I could not fault the food/value but would not book for a night out but would definitely pop in for a quick bite if at the theatre again."

"Allowed me to book a table hours beforehand and then upon arrival was greeted by the silence of an empty restaurant. After about mins of waiting and chatting , the manager enters through the front door and tells us to take our seat and then goes into the kitchen. After another mins of chatting the manager comes out and tells us the head chef is not in and so we will have to leave. To the managerâs credit he did seem apologetic and cordial but things like this should not happen in the first place."

"Having a coffee at this café was reminiscent of being in Tel Aviv. Noisy traffic, people speaking on their phones in Ivrit, orthodox Jews strolling by and a laid back atmosphere. Even the plumbing was very Israeli. The toilets were very clean but the taps were coming away from the sink. It was a cold day in August, which is definitely not typical of Israel and we were seated outside as a Covid precaution. The friendly staff did offer at least twice to turn on the external heaters which would have been nice, but when we left some 20 minutes later the heaters had still not come on. Well it's the thought that counts ....."

"Although the restaurant is pleasantly decorated, that was the highlight of our visit. We felt that there was a bad attitude to customers from the start. We asked for tap water and instead of being given a jug for the table, we were each given a half filled glass. When we saw the astronomical prices for drinks, for water, for creamy milk drinks we realised that we'd better make our tepid tap water last. The food was average with no extras like you'd expect our cold mezze plate for was basically some dips plus rice in vine leaves. No pitta you have to pay extra for that. Rest of food distinctly average, some not nice at all spinach parcels avoid. Very loud music playing. Large service charge added. Will never go back"
