Arabesque - Sunderland

An absolute pleasure to dine here from start to finish . Well done to all staff. Lots of advice given to questions and food was top notch experience .

Really delicious food as usual, unfortunately they'd run out of lamb so not everyone in our party was able to have exactly what they'd ordered but they compensated for this by offering a more expensive meal at a lower price and providing extra bread and chips. Very friendly service.

Fabulous food staff very good the only downside they need stock larger amount of beers as they ran out some draft beers would by good

once again did not disappoint. great food great company. lively staff who give a great service

A warm friendly welcome on arrival. Food was excellent, altho a little to much for me. Was quiet busy and great atmosphere. All staff were friendly and not intrusive but on hand when needed. Would recommend to all wanting a change

An excellent and tasty Lunch Special. I had Chicken Shwarama wrap which was really nice and the Chunky chips amazing! My girlfriend had the Cheeseburger which was large and filling. With drinks-came to £18.90. Bargain. Will definitely return.

Lovely food and very friendly and attentive staff. I had the mixed grill and it was delicious. The food is also excellent value for money.

No draught beer ,no lamb chops and to top it all no bread left at 8pm!! Very poor service but on a positive note what food we did eventually get was nice.

Meal was lovely. Though chicken on one meal just warm. Everything else was fab. Service was good. Always enjoy our visits to arabesque. Look forward to next time!

It felt like they'd lost our reservation and set up a spare table, in an area where the draft was very cold, ended up putting our coats on to eat our main, food was good bug the experience has put me off going again, and it was my birthday meal so not impressed.

Great night, food was fantastic with great friendly service, the restaurant was lovely and warm in such a cold night, the belly dancing was great to watch. Great value for money.

Great food & service, can’t wait to visit again. The staff are all really helpful and friendly, my partners going next week on a work party and I’m jealous, because I’m not going!

I cannot fault the food. The only problem was the lack of wine/beer. They were running out of everything we asked for. Even a shortage of ice! Did wait a bit between courses. They did have a busy night. I will go again as the food was lovely. Hopefully on a quieter night

Food nice quality. Good value and staff pleasant. Busy restaurant but seated quickly upstairs. We had the special Christmas menu £16.95 per person very good choice.

Food excellent service spot on love coming to eat here can't fault the restraraunt value for money every time and I will be certainly coming back

Lovely service, very helpful, very nice food, would recommend anyone to try as its something different and makes you want to return to Egypt. I have been before but it was the first time for my friends and they thoroughly enjoyed it.

The food was really tasty and the service was very friendly. It was a Thursday night but very quiet, so unfortunately there was not much atmosphere. Really good value for money and large portions!

Great staff food great and well priced! We use it a lot when we go to the theatre etc.We will be going back again soon

Great night out with friends. It was our first visit but will definitely return. The food was delicious and plentiful, friendly staff and interesting surroundings.

We were a little disappointed as one of our party had been before and enjoyed their visit but this time bar menu said pump beers but was canned beers and larger The welcome was fair and polite but the service was very poor due to either new staff or not trained in customer service and delivery The food was not as good as I expected flavours and presentation

Excellent food and service, the food was brilliant, tasty and enjoyable. This was my first visit and can't wait to go again. Can't recommend highly enough.

food was lovely as always. service was good. music was too loud at some points.

Always a great meal at Arabesque. Hadn't been for a while but the food was as lovely as ever. The ohm alli is the best dessert around and we all enjoyed it. Lovely friendly staff. Great value for money

The food was excellent and too much. The service was good and would definitely go back again in the future. One minor point, music was a bit loud for the belly dancing.

Absolutely amazing food, fast and friendly service. Definately be back.

Truly delicious food and great staff, the lamb was so tender, King Mezze starter was a dish with so many tasty dips and soft Arabic bread. Would recommend without hesitation.

The staff are great the food is great the setting is great been there four time already will be going back in the future looking forward to it

Initial impressions when we walked through the door were good, very friendly staff. Then it started to go downhill slightly in that there was no draughty beer as something had broken. The bottled beer selection was sparce. We ordered a mixed shawarma and another chicken dish, the portions were poor for the price we paid. My wife had mousses which was tasty and plentiful. The men’s toilet was poor and looked un clean.. The toilet itself was a silver stainless steel pan with no seat. I saw another table being served by a guy in jeans and a denim shirt with a bluetooth earpeice in and a large bunch of keys hanging down from his belt. Don’t think I will be rushing back...

Fantastic food, glad I chose to go here it was very tasty and a brilliant authentic Egyptian menu. Service was brilliant too from the staff

Had a great time with my friends. Food delicious and atmosphere just incredible!!! Staff very nice and helpful. I will definitely come back and recommend:)

Never judge a book by its cover....or a restaurant from the outside! Its easy to by pass this restaurant as from the outside it doesn't look very inviting but once inside its a very pleasant surprise. It holds a surprising amount of diners over two floors with enough space to be intimate and yet not feel you're sitting alone. The Egyptian style food is delicious and the portion sizes are more than enough for even the hungriest diner. Service is 1st class and nothing is too much for the staff to do. Highly recommend this hidden gem!

Food was amazing will definitely be back reasonable prices and lots of choice ! Staff were friendly and efficient everything you want from a new experience

An excellent meal as usual the food was excellent and the atmosphere was very good looking forward to the next visit which will be very soon

Excellent food and good value. Good range of options so there is something for everyone. Service friendly and effective if a little haphazard. Don’t be put off by the outside surroundings. It’s worth a visit.

Amazing food. Clean and the mood was perfect my and my wife’s dining experience. Staff were brilliant. Polite, and helpful. I shall definitely be returning for more Egyptian food.

Relaxed atmosphere The starter is a big portion Good food with good presentation Value for money The decor is over the top could be improved

Excellent eating experience. Quality and quantity of food served is phenomenal. You have to try the Arabesque Mixed Grill with a platter of various meats - I would recommend giving a starter a miss because you'll struggle to finish two courses if you opt for this awesome meal!

Beautiful food at a great price. Great and friendly service what more could you ask for. Love it would always recommend going there to everyone.

A great welcome and service from all staff, very nice decor but most of all the food was excellent, portions where huge and the price was very reasonable - we will definitely return and definitely recommend the restaurant.

Generous portions of very good food. Excellent service. Always enjoy eating here as the restaurant provides something different.i am a vegetarian and there is a good range of starters and decent options for main
