Arabesque - Sunderland

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

Service and food fantastic very clean would highley reccomend from going in to going out staff makeing sure all was well will b makeing a trip back very soon 😊

Our first visit to this fabulous restaurant, but by mo means our last. The service is quick and very friendly, and as for the food, absolutely incredible. Would recommend without a second’s thought. Loved it.

Very busy and we had to wait 15mins for our pre booked table. Not all of our food came at the same time. Food was quite nice though

This is a great restaurant and the food was excellent, so tasty. Had a great night. Recommend anyone to go to Arabesque for a night out

Lovely place to eat the food was really great but the place it self was very cold. We definitely will go back when the weather improves

Lovely food, good service. Staff really friendly. Really good portions. Enjoyable evening. Looking forward to our next visit which we hope will be very soon.

10/10 Food is absolutely brilliant! Never disappoints and is now my favourite place to eat. The cocktails are also very good (I recommend the 'tut toblerone') The staff are also very lovely and service was pretty quick especially as the place was almost full. Arabesque is a must try!

Lovely place and really good food. Food was served quickly, but not too quick between courses. The Egyptian soup was lovely and the bread was freshly baked.

Have been here a few times, the food is always lovely, the staff polite and friend and atmosphere gorgeous, lovely for a quiet Kemal or two or a few friends, difinatrl you recommend

Great service, great food. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to all of my family and friends. I will look forward to returning in the near future.

The food is great. It’s a lovely place with a great relaxed atmosphere and the people are very friendly. Can’t recommend it highly enough, try it!

From entering to leaving, The staff take total care of you and the food is second to none, a must for any that likes trying different cultures and amazing food

Lovely food however the wait for a table and service wasnt the best . I have been before and the food was up to scratch again

The restaurant was so busy that we had to wait a while for our table but the food was gorgeous and the lovely staff couldn't apologise enough for our wait. They also took our drinks off the bill by way of apology. We got the royal meze platter and a few other dips and salads. This was more than enough for 3 people and was absolutely delicious.

Fantastic food piping hot and delicious the staff are lovely very polite and friendly . They always accommodate you and your needs , restaurant is alwYs very clean as are the toilets

Excellent food, atmosphere and service. Staff were welcoming on arrival, food was served quickly and was delicious. Would recommend the falafel, stuffed peppers, chicken shawarma and African bread.
