Arabesque Dining & Bar

Great food and atmosphere. Service could have been slightly better.

Great food. Pictures make it look bigger then the restaurant is. Good value.

We had a fantastic experience. We ordered the Turkish banquet for two. It was absolutely delicious. The staff were amazing. The dessert was to dies for. Highly recommended.

Lovely staff and delicious food and cocktails. Would have been nice if someone had responded to my query when I made the online reservation. Service could be improved by checking if we needed more water. It was appreciated you were able to cater for my sister's dietary requirement. I enjoyed celebrating my birthday there.

Tasty food and great service and overall experience was great

Busy when we arrived but it was Saturday evening. We ordered a banquet and the food soon appeared. Unfortunately the next few plates arrived in rapid succession preventing us from being able to savour the wonderful flavours of each dish. A pause prior to main course was appreciated as was the food that followed.

Amazing food!! Everything was so quick, the staff were lovely and the food tasted great. Can't wait to go back

The food is good and the staff are friendly but the training and communication between staff and kitchen is poor leading to being asked the same questions by different staff, given conflicting information and a gluten free meal containing gluten.

The food was very tasty and enjoyable. The service was excellent. The noise level was so unbearably high we couldn't hear each other speak and unanimously decided not to stay for dessert. Unfortunately the seating is far too cramped and overcrowded and makes it difficult for even the waiting staff to get through. In case of an emergency it could be disastrous trying to exit the restaurant.

Fabulous food. Excellent service. Got our table straight away. AND BYO. How good is that? Very noisy after about 7.15pm but that's all part of the fun. Can't recommend highly enough.

Was warm and inviting and the food was great. It was quiet and we could easily have a conversation

Excellent restaurant, food quality and service. If you like Turkish and Middle and want a dining experience that’s a little bit posh, then this is the perfect place to go

Great food, lovely ambience, will definitely recommend. We will be back

Everything was beautiful, only comment is the wine glasses were only 3/4 to the level, they do need to watch this that was not good value!

Great food and service. Lamb was tender and yummy salads

Great service, wonderful food and drinks brought out in a timely manner. Would definitely recommend!

Disappointing overpriced, very dark for a restaurant. Combo Turkish, Moroccan & Lebanese not great

food was amazing - little expensive by about 10% but quality was amazing. Waiter knocked over an expensive bottle of wine but they were amazing with a solution and we left very happy- will be back!

Great food, good service, ok ambiance and a poor wine list ... but this is more than made up for by a BYO policy even at weekends. A great local

Excellent place for Middle Eastern Food. Highly recommended for food lovers.

Delicious Turkish banquet and dessert! Fast service with friendly waitstaff.

Great food and service, had a nice time! Will be back to eat the yummy dessert!!

Arabesque has always been great and this visit was fantastic! We shared a haloumi and fig starter then stuffed squid followed by an incredible fish dish. Interesting and reasonably priced wine list and great service.

On arrival at 6.30pm staff look surprised to see us and it seemed like they were not ready for us. Took the staff a while to get organised eg drinks, menus etc once they took out order it was delivered promptly and atmosphere and food was good

I reserved a space, requesting not to be seated near a doorway. They seated us near a doorway. Every time the door opened (which was often) the breeze and cold would blow onto us. Unreserved couples came in and were seated in better spots. Told the waiter who said he would check for a better seat and that the website was down so they weren't aware of reservations but never came back to us. Got knocked by someone's bag too, as new arrivals would gather behind me. Otherwise food was okay.

We had a really fantastic dinner. The food was amazing. Our waitress was friendly and extremely helpful. The chef bent over backwards to accommodate my dietary needs. Wii go again

Fantastic food and service, we had a lovely time honestly. Very romantic too for a couple, with warm and inviting feel to the room

This is the 3rd Mother’s Day we have been to Arabesque. There is nothing that beats its delicious food and fantastic friendly staff. It’s a melbourne treasure.

Had a very good meal. Very fresh, well spiced food which was attractively presented. The decor, atmosphere, lighting and music was also appealing. Sunday night was not so busy, so our service was very efficient. I find some of the bad reviews hard to understand, because we really enjoyed eating here.

excellent food and staff. Worth going back again. could use a better beer selection but wine list was good

Delicious food. Very candid staff. Would definitely visit again and recommend

Enjoyed service,atmosphere and food quality. Everything went smoothly and felt appreciated.

We enjoyed lovely food and very nice cocktails , highly recommend the Turkish delight martini !

Our waiter was excellent and dealt with storing my husband's walking stick out of the way!

The atmosphere was nice but food was average. Too expensive for what you get.

Food was generous and very authentic. Decor was a little dark.

Love this restaurant. Interesting, tasty food and good service. The only negative is that it gets noisy.

The food was great and the service was fabulous - I love it

Great food and cocktails. Espresso martini. And fun atmosphere. All good.

An overall excellent experience. Very good value and magnificent food.
