Arabesque in Estancia

Excellent service friendly atmosphere, unforgettable delicious food with a very competitive price.

Amazing! The food was delicious, great portion sizes, generous amount of bread and the staff were so lovely! We had the baba ganoush, tzatziki, meatballs and mixed grill. It was all superb and we will definitely be back!!

Appalling food. Great service. Avoid at all cost.Head chef has responded stating he has "no record of my visit". Cheap response. I visited 24th October at 6pm exactly. I ordered the Humous awarma, chicken soup, castaleta (which I cancelled as the other dishes were appalling). I walked past the kitchen to wash my hands to find them using humus from the supermarket nearby and frozen carrots. Nothing was fresh. The soup was inedible. I cant believe people actually pay to eat the food.It makes me shocked to see the good review score they have.

We went here for lunch before the theatre and it was just fab. Everything was delicious and the staff were absolutely lovely. A hidden gem

Not only wonderful Lebanese cuisine but you feel immediately welcome and at home here. Hidden gem in a rather quite neighborhood. Lovely!

Had dinner here tonight and food was amazing and while service was a little slow since packed she was very good. Had vegetarian mezza which had hummus, falafel, grape leaves, tabouli and more. My main course was bbq mixed grill. It was so good. Very nice space and prices were so reasonable. Mix up with reservation however they resolved it and worth the small wait. Picture of my entree was after I had eaten the lamb chop and two huge cubes of lamb and one chicken and still plenty!

Great food, nice, calm atmosphere. Some people might call it slow but we loved it that way. Be warned: the portions are very generous.

Good food, very friendly and welcoming service, and great value. Cant ask for much more than that!

Very helpful staff and delicious food. Several of us greatly enjoyed the vegetarian mezze and one of our meat eating friends pronounced the lamb chops "to die for". Will definitely return next time we are in Hampstead.

Received a warm welcome from Kais when I entered, friendly atmosphere.All the food I tried was great and the Kibbeh is a must try. Finished off with some tasty saffron tea and baklawa.Will be back.

We have been here many many times and the food is consistently delicious, the service is fantastic and I would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. It is my favourite restaurant !

Delicious food.Friendly staff. Reasonable priced.Great find. Defs will be a regular .Everything is so well made and delicious.

A genuine Arabian paradise gem located in leafy residential area of NW London. Serves authentic Arabian char grilled smoked red meat and fishes .Pot of mint/ saffron/ Cardamon tea/ thick sediments Turkish coffee comes in Turkish bronze ware makes an afternoon llong idyllic lunch.A genuine middle eastern experience not to be missed especially prices here are very modest which can easily be more than doubled elsewhere Edgware Road etc.

Very friendly and efficient service, generous food and drinks portions and very tasty food! We absolutely loved everything about our lunch here.

Tasty food and huge portions. It was lovely sitting outside for lunch and the prices were very reasonable.

Excellent! Super delicious, very good prices, totally recommended!

I cam on a rainy afternoon with 3 of my hungry very picky children. We were quickly shown to the best table in the house. The atmosphere was elegant and relaxed. We immediately felt relaxed. My meal was one of the best Ive had in London. What a hidden gem. The service was amazing.Ive been lucky enough to have eaten at some of Londons michelin star restaurants and ARABESQUE could easily match and in some cases out ranked them.

Food was delicious and the staff was really friendly. We’ll definitely return. Highly recommended.

Incredible food - super fresh, great value for money (£22 for 2 people, a massive feastand authentic ❤️ Brilliant service too. Highly recommend!

We booked this place very randomly and last moment and were pleasantly surprised. The staff is super friendly and generous and the food was great too! We will definitely come back and I highly recommend this place for a casual lunch or dinner.

Actually had a fantastic meal (included olives, chicken shawarma, Araka, and included dessert (Halwa I think)last week (although my server, same as corresponded with today, was a bit cold but food made up for itand was excited to return… would have gave 4 or 5 stars (food onlyon that experience. Today showed up at 8:45p (approximately same time as last week, maybe earlierand was rudely told (no eye contactthat they were closed. I looked around at all the people and asked what time they closed (website says 10p which is same as last visitand she said 9p. I looked at my watch and she then said abruptly without looking at me… only take away now. I left and will not return. If she just would have been more personable and maybe explained the reason for the early closure or at least not been rude about it, this could have been a different review. Disappointed!

The food and service keeps me coming back. Kais was my server and he was very sweet and polite. It is hard to find great guest service in London and this restaurant is a nice break.

We enjoyed a delicious meal here after our matinee show at Hampstead Theatre. The lamb shanks and mezze were divine!Friendly and attentive service and generally good ambience inside and out.

A lovely little backstreet restaurant we stumbled on, delicious food, very friendly service, very reasonably priced. Cash only though, but fortunately there is a cash machine very near by. A super place.

I have been to the Arabesque three times over the years. It has always been a consistently excellent place to eat. The prices were very reasonable and we had more than enough to eat, with generous portion sizes. The food came out quick, it was very tasty and the waitress was very friendly, efficient and attentative. We had options to eat inside and outside. I took a friend for their first time and they were impressed. A lovely way to end the working week on a date night. Will definitely be returning again! 😀😀😀

This meal was amazing! We ordered for 15 people and we got so much food and everything was delicious! The people here were amazing as well and treated us great! Def recommend

The first that strikes you is how cosy it felt. Customer service was quite good.The starters & drinks arrived in good time. I must say, though presentation was very good, the flavours were a little bland for my taste.The mains were quite generous in size and of reasonable quality of flavour.Overall a reasonable experience but probably would not seek it out in the future.

A really special welcome as we arrived for a pre-theatre meal. The food was delicious, the duck so tender and subtly spiced, served with the best yoghurt sauce with cucumber. Eating at a table on the pavement in sunshine with Beirut beer felt so quiet, yet the Hampstead Theatre was close by. Really special!

Delicious food, tender after cooking on charcoal grill. House wine, Lebanese, was a real treat. Very helpful service. And all at amazing value Strongly recommended.

We visited late Saturday afternoon. Beautiful food, lovely staff and were so glad we went. Beirutí humus was fabulous and we highly recommend the potato with mincemeat starter- to die for. Sharwarma for mains was delicious but we were too full to finish it so took home. Reasonably priced and very generous portions. House Lebanese white wine was perfect. We will return.

The food was ok, was expecting great food from reading the reviews. The batata harra had more South Asian flavouring as opposed to middle Eastern, which was strange. However the biggest let down was the service, the wait for food was very long. Staff were not attentive at all, trying to get their attention to order just water for the table was a struggle. Definitely will not be returning.

Had a lovely pre-theatre meal sitting at one of their outside tables on this quiet street. Good food, the best service and friendly owner and staff. Gluten-free was no problem. Ill definitely come back.

We visited Arabesque before a matinee show at Hampstead Theatre, and it really made our afternoon so special. The host was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious. We even asked for a doggy bag as we couldnt finish it all, which they very kindly obliged. Such a lovely restaurant, a real hidden gem.

One of the most wonderful cosy and understated restaurants in NW london. Wonderful food, and exceptional service! Having been coming here for 5 years and they have never been disappointed. A must do especially after a Hampstead Theatre visit.

Very good authentic Lebanese food.

It was great Arabic food and generous dishes size, great feeling of hospitality and reception from kitchen and service staff as well.

I really enjoyed my time at Arabesque. The food is exceptional and the staff treated us absolutely professionally. Good environment too and all together a great value for money. Certainly recommend.

Excellent family friendly atmosphere. The food is delicious and beautifully presented and do have a Turkish coffee ☕ either sweet or medium sweet.Been here here now three times and plan to return soon.

I consider this restaurant a great find. Lovely food, wonderful service at a great price. All very close to Swiss Cottage tube and theatre.

A hidden gem. Delicious authentic food, huge portions, very courteous and experienced staff, good house wine, beautiful ambience and amazingly affordable. This is going to be my go to place for a meal before every Hampstead theatre visit. Highly recommended!!

I had a incredibly pleasant meal here. The food was a work of art and the owner has earned a spot on my relatively exclusive list of most genuine and nice people Ive ever met. I loved talking to him and appreciate his friendliness. Paired with the perfectly designed food this restaurant is well attached to my London story and will warrant me to come there again if my travels bring me to the area again. Highly recommend others to support this beautiful spot.

The beat Lebanese food I have ever eaten. Super service though the place is busy. Got the mixed grill to try a little of everything and it was amazing!Finished the dinner with baklava which had a perfect ration of nuts and sirup. Not too dry and not too sweet.All in all a fantastic dinner with great value for money.

+++ Intimate setting, huge portions, gorgeous food and teas, but the best bit is the lovely waitress. Shes incredible at her job and is unflappable.Ill definitely return asap!!- Only point to pick up on is they either need an overhead door shutting mechanism or a sign on the door and a handle outside so people who were born in a barn close it(!),

Small Lebanese restaurant. Staff are efficient, helpful and patient (we were a large group). Food is typically Lebanese - not my favourite Im afraid so I am not a good judge. Good coffee, reasonable prices

Today I ate a delicious Arabesque dinner for takeaway. Fair portions, food very tasty and fresh. The decor of the place is also very nice and elegant, and I thought it would be so expensive, but I was pleasantly surprised by the prices and portions of the dishes. I have been living next door for almost 5 years and I have never had the opportunity to try, I don‘t understand why I waited so long but I will definitely catch up now!!! :)

Authentic Lebanese cuisine. Tucked away from busy Streets. Beautiful interior, polite staff. Good food 😋Reasonable price, I will be coming back for sure!

Nice little restaurant, with good service and great food. Went here for dinner before going to the Cinema. Friendly staff, food arrived quickly and was really fresh, well prepared, tasted great and reasonably priced. Will definitely go again.

Small restaurant with authentic feel . Complimentary olives and bread to start . Big starters and big mains , flavourful too . Reasonably priced too .Complimentary baklava too finish too - would thoroughly recommend

Loved the food! Portions are huge! Everything tasted so good! Loved the falafels!! Service is stunning!

The food is pretty reasonable and the prices are fine. Whereas the food came quite quickly, the service overall was poor and it took way too long to get the waiter’s attention each time. The salad was fine and the fried cheese were pretty good. Would consider giving them a second chance sometime.
