Review Souk By Cafe Arabia - Pune

Food was awesome, but seekh was undone , so had to be sent it back, but they served a new one. Mojito are ok . Service was fast and prompt. Ambience is good , but saw a big mouse near our seating, which made us uncomfortable. Overall, a wonderful experience, one of my favourite places to go. Even got a discount of 15% on Zomato

I had a delightful experience at Souk Restaurant. The Chicken Shawarma on Herbed Rice was a perfect blend of spices, creating a delicious flavor profile. The Pita bread was incredibly soft, making every bite enjoyable. The portion size was generous and easily satisfied two people. The overall quality of the food was amazing, and I'd definitely recommend trying it out!

One of the nicest place in NIBM for the food lovers, cool and COM ambiance, tasty food quality, but still there is chance of improvement in mock-tails. Overall the food taste, quality and ambiance nice for family.

Food tastes just awesome though not sure about being authentic as never been to the Middle East. Liked the ambiance as well. Great place to hangout with friends,family or your SPECIAL ONE.

1. Went at night, the ambience was good and so was the service. 2. The chicken platter is a good option if there are more than 2 ppl, the quantity was really good and the quality and taste was 4/5. 3. The best were the desserts. The bakhlava is a must try. 4. If i visit again I will rather try small small dishes than chicken platter.

Awesome collection of Arabic dishes and prepared with care. The order takes a while to come as good things take a while to come.

Love the outdoor seating dinner vibe. Food is very tasty. The arabian food is very authentic. Service is excellent. Definitely going back again. Highly recommended.

An experience worth having. Middle eastern cusine, soulful music, serene vibe and heartwarming service. Tried a few things like the fattoush salad, mix platter, the hummus platter, kabsa rice and their signature dessert kunafa. The service and food is great and the vibe this places gives is addictive. A must visit for someone who loves non veg and wants to try something that can match the level of flavours that indian cusine would have.

Food Try this place to give your palate a tour of the middle east. The food will take you there with a hint of Indian spices. Ambience Open Dining with a little breeze, faint music, and those calming lights will give you a good floor to have some of your best conversation. Service The waiter was kind and polite and answered all our queries about the food with patience.

I have been to this joint twice already in the last 6-8 months. The food is delicious! I enjoyed their hummus platter and pilaf on both the occasions I had been there. Tbh, it doesn't have a 5* ambience or seating arrangement, but if you're a foodie, then rest assured that they will deliver absolutely mouthwatering dishes to your table. Try it if you haven't already!

Great hospitality. Food is tasty and love the quantity. I like the paneer shawarma rice dish, it is so delicious. Dessert: Definitely try kunafa...so tasty. Overall it's a great lunch.

Words can't express the happiness the food at this place brought me. The food was amazing to another level. This place served THE BEST Hazelnut Frappe. Apart from that, we ordered the Hummus Platter and Veg Pilaf and those dishes were equally delicious in their own separate ways. A MUST TRY!!!

SOUK by Cafe Arabia Thing I love about This place is that it's made specifically for foodies, no extra fancy interior, no overspending in ambience, simple patio siting and chairs which just so happens to be very instangramable in mornings and early evenings. Okay okay let's talk about it the food. The veggies and non veg they use in their recipes is fresh and you can literally taste it in the crunch of veggies and the smell and taste of the chicken / lamb that it is fresh and very well marinated Lamb Kebab shawarma Rich juicy and well BBQd lamb kebabs topped with their in house sauces and veggies and rolled into Peta bread This is by far the best shawarma I have ever had for real in really long time. So I don't mind riding 20 mins to have such scrumptious Shawarma and thing is I'm not even a lamb lover but this one I loved too much Zaatar chicken cheese pide & half roasted vegetable pide:- So this is their version of pizza, kinda like half n half pizza, ample toppings, enough cheese to give you that cheese pull shot and you don't even feel like adding oregano or chilli flakes. Herbed mushroom salad This is a one shot meal for healthy food lovers, well sautéed mushrooms tossed into mixed veggies and topped with a winegerette. If you are really hungry then go for this or it is best to share this with your friends. Nutella Kunafa- This was my very first time trying out this, saw the whole process and it was seriously captivating. FYI even this has cheese pull but this is a must try dish cuz this highlights the middle eastern cuisine with respect of desserts. Knafe/ kunafa has layers like fresh cheese in middle, vermicelli type spun pastry called kataifi and baked till crisp brown then topped with sugar syrup called attar also in this case Nutella is drizzled on top and garnished with pistachios. Overall this is for the person who likes complex flavors in their desserts. One really has to know and understand the beauty of this cuisine to really enjoy it. Well me on the other hand loved this even though I'm not much of sweet toothed person. Alright!!!! A big shoutout to the chefs who made my food, the servers and i would like to mention the fact that the staff here really know their cuisine so if you ask them what is the dish about they can easily explain. No wonder this place is this old and still this popular even having so many different outlets opening near the place. After all quality trumps quantity, on that note I recommend yall to try this place out and make sure you try at least one of the dishes mentions here 😊🙏🏻. A must try in pune place 😍

Was delighted to have chanced upon this cozy cafe on Zomato called Souk (meaning an Arabian market), wondered how they named it so  and decided to look them up. They have a nice canopy erected in an outdoor set up, spacious seating in wood. In the evening the whole place is lit up and beautiful string of lights adorn the canopy. Chicken was being grilled on the rotisserie in the mechanised gas oven. The feel of the Levant was evident. Warmed up with a Cappuccino and a Latte, and two Shawarma wraps. The Shawarma were juicy, lot of filling, generous helping of garlic paste, tahini and shreds of chicken Shawarma. Must try! Also sampled couple of Falafel, with olives,  crispy, well fried and olive on top gave it a tangy appeal. Since we are ardent exponents of Kunafa( knafeh), settled for one. It was presented in a cute pan, piping hot. Imdad, the lively manager of the cafe told me that they also specialise in Baklava Ice cream sundae, a puff baklava base topped off with a dollop of ice cream. Unique, creamy-crunchy, amalgam of two distinct flavours. Thanx a lot Imdad, good recommendation you made our day. Must try folks! A small chitchat with Tahirul lslam, the jovial steward, revealed that there is a Dubai connection; the owner, Mr Kunal Jagwani is a Dubai based entrepreneur and Food connoiseur. Our memories of dear old Dubai was instantly re-lived through Souk. Will be back to try more dishes for sure! Special thanx to Imdad, the wonderful manager who enthusiastically runs the place!!

Last week visited this place and i saw that they have a new summer menu now So tried few Lebanon delicacies and i absolutely relished it. The taste is really authentic. Presentation was superb, quantity was more than expected. What I had their Deconstructed falafel salad Crushed falafel, lettuce, olives, greens dressed in a creamy tahini sauce Cold mezze platter Its a must have when you visit this place It consists of garlic hummus, tabouleh, marinated feta, tzatziki, harissa sauce, zaatar lavash and many more things.. Cheese with zataar + chicken pide Its a kind of Lebanon naan pizaa.. which will surely make you drool Chelo kebab with rice juicy succulent meat kebabs served with butter saffron rice, grilled tomatoes and onions. Surely try this one Chocolate hummus Its a dessert.. chocolaty hummus seeved with cinnamon pita chips

Souk by Café Arabia, has some awesome dishes on their menu and have a cosy comfortable seating to enjoy a pleasant summer evening with your friends and family. Souk is now one year old, & has introduced the Ramadan Menu at their Salunkhe Vihar Branch. Menu for food tasting #Risito : Mocktail with Chia seeds, lemon, mint and essentially Rose. Super refreshing ! #Faltoush : Tossed veggies salad in a vinaigrette dressing. It was nice, cold and refreshing. #Humas Chicken Salad : Grilled chicken and veggies with traditional hummus...yummy #Cold Mezza Platter : Very colorful and attractive dish with assorted hummus served with traditional lavash(crisp triangle bread/Khakra) and Zaatar (Soft pita bread rubbed with olive oil and a mixture of course grounded thyme, corriander and sesame seeds. Served with a spinach salad. Hummus Labneh :with citrus undertones and thyme. Tzatziki made with dill and garlic #good Moutabal with eggplant mash. #recommended Beetroot :Roasted beetroot hummus. This platter is a must have. #highly recommended Next came two kinds of oval shaped flat breads : #Turkish Pida : overload of Mushrooms and caramalized onions. #Roast Garlic Chicken Pide : was quite cheesy and yummy. Kebabs: #Kofta kebabs : was delicious. A butter sauce with tasty minced kebabs. #Cheese Chicken Kebabs : were quite dry and tough. #Grilled Chicken Doner : In-house made tzatziki stuffed with chicken and veggies, along with crispy fries. #Halem (The soul Version) was a star dish. Middle eastern slow cooked lintels, rice and meat mash. Simply delicious. The garlic added that special touch. #Kanafeh Cheesecake : Middle eastern twist to a New York Cheesecake. Found it a bit dry. Taste was good. #Chocolate Hummus with Phyllo cigars : interesting twist. Crispy cigars. #Almond Baklava : again a star dish. No words.. ..outstanding. #Warbat with walnuts and cream : My first, soft and juicy. I liked it.

We had ordered Chicken Shawarma Platter 4 piece Arabian Grill Chicken (rotisserie) Fiery Chicken Pide All the food was amazing Quantity was enough for 4 people Just needed to order extra pita bread

This place is just awesome, the place serves some authentic taste of Arabian cuisine. Nice sit out ambience, good for a family visit. Have order Mix meze platter and one non veg platter, Meze was just fine, but the grilled chicken tikka in non veg platter was superb. The garlic paste is awesome, but they charge for the second filling. Would suggest the restaurant to increase the quantity of garlic paste in the first serving it self.

Excellent grilled food and love their pita bread and hummus. This place is among my top 5 favourite in the city 💖

Awesome food. Haleem was out of the world and enjoyed every bit of the humus platter.... The meat balls was melt in the mouth every dish I tried was just too good

Never ordering from this restaurant or Zomato<br/>Even Zomato customer service was of no use very unhelpful

We order from the Salunkhe Vihar outlet, food packaging is neat compact and brilliant, the menu veers well towards indianised-mid eastern fare.

It was my mum's bday..they let us cut cake we brought...big tables n nice cozy n open cafe like ambience...now food...<br/>bbq chickn sizzler...bbq sauce had really raw flavor to it, destroying the whole taste of evrything in platter.<br/>Paneer steak sizzler ...cubes instead of steak. N old paneer was served as it was yellowish in color, had cheese like taste n lil sour...n whatever white gravy they had poured on it..was not good...at all! Tastless n funny n vry weird..nt able to explain the taste..<br/>The veggies served in both the sizzlers were bit bitter ..only rice n fries were edible..n oh not to forget. A bit too salty fries !<br/>Non vegKebab platter... Ok taste of all the kebabs..nothing much impressing abt ny type of kebab thy served ..the seekh were too dry...but my brother got few pcs of chicken..undercooked! As it was bday eve n didnt wantd to turn off anyone's mood..as we were already not having really best tasting meal so i secretly told my brothr not to show or throw it, keep it aside. Hoping the cafe guys noticed the raw big pc left on the plate later..<br/>Pita bread with hummus platter..Good n fresh. But nothing much special about it. Won't go again so far to have it if i can get same or better one, next to my house.<br/>Open shawrma platter..it was ok in taste chicken was lil hard n dry may b coz thy fried it ..n fried for too long.. n bread was too less if we see chicken quantity n white sauce or mayo.. whatever it was on top,was bit too much in quantity.<br/>Rose Panna cotta..gud presentation but bad fatty n too sweet n concentrate taste..n more like frozen ice cream! Not even our spoon cud cut through.<br/>Baklava with ice cream ...yummy! Again, presented nicely..It was so good n crispy n fresh..perfect sweet n salty ! I might wanna have this one thing again! Only this!<br/>Wanted to try haleem but they said its not available.

The most horrible and tasteless Sizzlers. The way they have presented it online, it tastes really bad ordered all the ones in non veg Sizzlers none of them had any taste as per the type ordered. No spice at all only broth poured over the Sizzlers. Not visiting again for sure

Pathetic service.

The staff is courteous, food is flavourful and decor is minimalist but homely.

Better Shawarma are available for the price quoted. Ordered a chicken Shawarma with double meat yet there was hardly any chicken in it.

I've been to Souk once and that visit changed my entire perception towards Middle Eastern Food. Whatever is served in Souk, goes close to the authentic one which you'll get on the Middle Eastern side. I've had their Shawarma, Hummus platter and the Mojito which were too good.<br/><br/>This time I was here to try their Sizzler which is something different and unique coming from a Middle Eastern restaurant. It was surprisingly good and I enjoyed it.<br/><br/>Sizzler - We had good options in Veg and non-veg. The main thing was the balance in the flavors that were present in every single sizzler. I loved the peri peri sauce sizzler which was my kind of sizzler. Packed with spicy flavor which was balanced out with veggies. Loved it.<br/><br/>Cheese fried chicken skewer was one more great sizzler which I loved it. Perfect crisp chicken with melted cheese on top of it. It was on the milder side because of cheese and fried coating. It could've been better with some strong sauce or enhanced flavor of spices. Overall it was good.<br/><br/>Do visit Souk to try something new and different which you've not before.

I wanted to pay a visit to Souk since ever I got to know about this place. Souk is well known for the authentic Lebanese food. I went here at 4pm something and place actually gets more beautiful and soothing as the sun sets. Proper lit ambience, ample seatings and some really drool worth food.<br/>Coming to food,<br/>Was here for the newly launched winter sizzler menu.<br/>The sizzler menu is designed so well.<br/>It has something to offer for each and everyone, weather you are vegetarian or non vegetarian the Sizzlers are just finest that you can't miss.<br/>The presentation of Sizzlers is on point.<br/>The balance of flavours and textures can be seen.<br/>Each sizzler has flavoured rice, fries, blanched corns, saute veggies, sauces according to the choice of your sizzler, topped with the meat - veggies.<br/><br/>In veg they have two options :<br/>Peri Peri Paneer Steak<br/>Veg Skewers is Sweet Chilli Sauce<br/><br/>In nonveg:<br/>Spicy Grilled Chicken<br/>Cheese Fried Chicken<br/>BBQ Chicken.<br/><br/>From the above, Spicy Grilled Chicken was my personal fav. It had perfect grilled chicken topped over the bed on rice with perfect cooked and saute veggies. This was bit on the spicier side as the name says. The whole combo was super comforting just right for winters.

Souk by cafe arabia is one of the best places to hangout with your friends over some good food. The ambience is on point the lights are furustic with outdoor seating arrangements.<br/>We were there to try winter sizzler menu.<br/>¬ Spicy grilled chicken<br/>¬ chesse fried chicken<br/>¬ peri peri paneer steak<br/>¬ BBQ chicken<br/>¬ veg skewers in sweet chilli sauce<br/><br/>All the sizzlers were really good in taste & the<br/>Presentation as well.<br/>Overall it was great experience.<br/><br/>#puneritravellers

Souk - A feasty affair!<br/><br/>What was supposed to be a quick lunch with my colleagues, turned out to be one big binge fest thanks to Souk thats located in Salunkhe Vihar. Having had an late breakfast i just wanted to nibble into something small but my company, definitely had other plans.<br/><br/>Started off with a portion of 'Ultimate Skillet Fries' (Rs.180) - Fries dipped in a creamy cheese sause with olives, Jalapenos and bell peppers (4/5)<br/><br/>For myself, i got the 'Deconstructed Falafel Salad' (Rs.200) - Well, the name says it all! Iceberg lettuce, bellpepers, olives, sesame and broken falafel pieces all tossed in a zingy tahini dressing. Truly filling (4/5)<br/><br/>My lunch ended there and the following orders and thoughts are by my colleagues.<br/><br/>Grilled Shawarma Platter (Rs.265) - A wholesome platter of pit roasted chicken served on a salad and served with garlic toum, harissa, pickled beet and pita bread. This can be your lunch and dinner meal together (4/5)<br/><br/>2 x Grilled Chicken with Rice (Rs.295) - 4 huge pieces chicken laid nicely over a bed of herbed rice and served with garlic hummus and salad. According the them, this was the star of the show (4.5/5)<br/><br/>4 pieces of grilled chicken (Rs.250) - Served with harissa, garlic toum, pita brad and pickles. This is the same dish as above minus the rice (4/5)<br/><br/>1 Baklava & 1 baklava with ice-cream (Rs.120/Rs.150) - Layers of filo filled with chopped nuts and sweetened and held together with sugar syrup. An absolute banger of a dish to finish your meal (4.5/5)<br/><br/>Overall, it was a great lunch and a good way to have a celebratory afternoon.<br/><br/>Burrrp!

Ordered the shawarma home. Service was prompt and as promised. The shawarma came wrapped well. The taste was good. Only one complaint, I felt there could be a little more meat filling for that price.<br/>Bon Appetit

Amazing Arabian food<br/>One of the best restaurant and cafe I would say amongst most of arabic restaurants in pune<br/>Taste, quality and service everything super duper

Went here to grab a bite and have some hummus and falafel.<br/>Was disappointed with the ambience<br/>Flies were everywhere.<br/>And their service was the slowest of all.<br/>Plus the staff doesn't understand the order.<br/>Food 3/5<br/>Ambience 3/5<br/><br/>

The food was amazing. I had been longing to go for Arabic food for a long time. Even though we had to drive down 15 kms, it was worth the effort. I wish i had more room in my stomach.

Awsome ambience good place i you have a big gang as seating ins outside and spacious..<br/>Food is amazing best place if you prefer turkish and lebanese cuisine.... Should try the pizzas anf the best peta bread and hammus over all awsome experience....

SOUK by cafe Arabia is one the superb places to hang out with great food in Salunke Vihar. With some great outdoor sitting, this place is apt for a family, friends meeting over a snacks or meal.<br/><br/>The food items I tasted were really good. The mojito was great from the drinks. The skillet chocolate chip from the desserts menu was too good. I recommend that dish.<br/><br/>Score (of out 5):<br/><br/>Food - 4<br/>Service -3<br/>Ambience -3.5

I ordered the Shish Taouk Kabab and it is miserable. It is chicken boiled with some spices thrown at it. You can literally see the water coming out of it. Have some shame !

Loved the hummus platter with beetroot hummus, jalapeno hummus and the original hummus served with warm pita bread and Zaatar bread which had a delicious texture and flavour. We also tried their hot chocolate drink which was just perfect to warm us in the chilly rains.

Good ambience and comfort food. Falafel was a bit dry but the hummus was a good accompaniment. The mutton pilaf was hot and comforting. We enjoyed the haleem as well which had a good warm blend of spices.The Lebanese drinks could use less of sugar. The baklava is to die for.

I have no idea how this place has above 4 rating and definately clue less how on zomato, this establishment has been marked as known for "hygiene".<br/>I am attaching a picture where you can see a dead big insect in my food. Not only that the entire platter was rotten and smelling like it was fished out of the dustbin.<br/>I am not writting this on a one off basis. I have ordered from here before : not only is the portion size less, the roasted chicken is dry.<br/>I had ordered via uber eats, no response from uber eats or the restaurant. I cannot really blame uber eats since at the end of the day the restaurant is responsible for trying to give me food poisoning. It is absolutely impossible that the person at the restaurant did not realise or was not aware that he was packing rotten food.<br/>The attitude that you can get away with packing rotten stale food just because it is a takeaway shows integrity of this business.<br/>

Today we are here at souk ... Actually we went here due to zomato rating bt we get disappointed due to taste as compared to cost taste is not good...we tried here mocktail and platter of veg & non veg ... Platter was waste of money .. Mocktail is fine. Ambience was quite good . Place is good those who love shawrama. Actually food pics uploaded on zomato are look like tasty bt in actually it is not Worthy.

Ambience 4/5<br/>Friendly staff<br/>Food presentation 3/5<br/>Food tast 3/5<br/>We ordered 4 cheese melt - the white pizza<br/>It took around 15 min to serve the order.

After reading lots or positive reviews we decided to visit this place. They had a special Ramdan menu. We took a mezze platter, lamb kebab and Rosito. The platter is presented nicely and is filling for 2 people. The kebab was flavourful with a very nice yogurt sauce. Rosito was a refreshing rose drink. I wanted to try baklava here but they were not available. Overall I liked this place and will visit again.

#IftarChronicle<br/>#Part3<br/>#ApologiesForSavingTheBestForTheLast<br/>#JaldiKaroKahinDerNaHoJaaye<br/><br/>Well, here we are, at the fag end of this holy month. This is the third and last part of my this year's Iftar Soiree !!!<br/><br/>Soukbycafearabia has a special Ramadan Menu this year and I have been raving about their Haleem since the beginning of Ramadan. So let me cover some of their Ramadan 'Must Haves' in brief;<br/><br/>Haleem: If I say this is the best Haleem in town, it won't be a tall claim at all. Its rich but not too starchy, it has meat shreds which give it a unique bite. The housemade masalas do such a magic that its aroma captivates your senses well before you taste it. I just hope & pray this becomes a regular on the Souk Menu. #DontMissItFolks<br/><br/>Kofta Kebabs: Juicy little Lamb Koftas in the herbed Yogurt Curry. The tangy curry gets sucked into the porous kababs, pop them as is or mop it all up the with the uber soft & fluffy Pita Bread. Your palate won't stop blessing you for the eons to come, trust me when I say this !!!<br/><br/>Hummus Chicken Salad/ Fattoush: Salad variants at Souk are really refreshing. Grilled Chicken Strips with oodles of creamy Hummus or the Crunchy Greens with Sumac and Herbed Vinaigrette, both are a pleasant change from the routine Iftar food.<br/><br/>Cold Mezze Platter with delectable dips and the Turkish Pide (PEE-DAY), specially the Pesto Mushroom one are great Iftar Options too.<br/><br/>A big shout out to their middle eastern Dessert Fare; Baklava, Warbat & Kanafeh Cheesecake, these are sure to give you the 'Guilty Pleasure'. This 'Sugar Rush' is sheer indulgence !!!<br/><br/>Souk by Cafe Arabia is my go to place for the Middle Eastern fare at Pune, they are simply the finest specialty restaurants in town.

Souk is a full blown Middle Eastern restaurant, from the owners of the omnipresent Cafe Arabia. They celebrated their 1st anniversary and introduced a special menu for Ramdaan. The place was lit up and beautifully decorated with flowers and lights, pretty as a picture. One read through the menu and I couldn't wait to try out all the food. One feedback though, the inner area, around the kitchen and the loo needs to be much cleaner.<br/><br/>THE EXCEPTIONAL<br/><br/>Some of the dishes were absolutely stunning. The drink served, Rosito, was really refreshing and amazing. Mint, lemon and rose topped with loads of rose petals. Very pretty and rather romantic drink.<br/><br/>Haleem - One of the best haleem's I've ever had for sure! Perfect slow cooked texture, sticky and stringy, perfect taste, meaty and a hint of starchiness, just bejeweled with aromatic ghee! The caramelized taste and crispiness of fried onions just a cherry on top! Definitely a must try!<br/><br/>Kofta Kebab - Mince lamb balls, so delicate and juicy in texture, hit of spice, in a creamy soothing yogurt, garlic sauce. A mind blowing - have a dozen at a time - dish!<br/><br/>THE REALLY GOOD<br/><br/>Fatoosh and Hummus Chicken Salads were really nice. Light, refreshing and due to a sprinkling of sumac and other middle eastern spices, really tasty too. The hummus was amazing and the grilled chicken too was perfect.<br/><br/>Cold Mezze Platter - This was incredible! Soft Pita and Lavash served with a myriad of classic Middle Eastern sides. The hummus, of course, was amazing so was the beet hummus. The Moutabel (creamy aubergine dip), tzatziki and Tabouleh (parsley salad) were great! But the star of the platter was the Lebneh cheese. It is a yogurt cheese, so creamy, tangy and with a texture like burrata cheese. All dipped in wondrous olive oil and topped with chilli flakes. Mind blowing!<br/><br/>Turkish Pide (Pizza) - Middle Eastern flat bread topped with cheese, sauce and whatever toppings you choose and drizzled with olive oil. We had the mushroom, which was meaty and really flavourful, and the chicken which was creamy and mild.<br/><br/>Souk Desserts<br/><br/>Kenafeh Cheesecake - An amazing baked cheesecake with Kenafeh or sevai pastry as the base as well as garnished on top! All this topped with cinnamon, cardamom and sugar syrup. I really liked this dessert. The creamy cheesy taste with the crispy and crunchy texture and spices just made it so unique and tasty!<br/><br/>Almond Baklava and Walnut Cream Warbat - Classic Middle Eastern desserts. Crispy, layered pastry with amazing fillings topped with loads of syrup. Quite good, but it was a bit too sweet. A lighter hand on the syrup, or inherently less sweet syrup would have made it better.<br/><br/>NOT SO GOOD<br/><br/>Unfortunately, there were some things in the menu that didn't work that well. The Doner Kebabs were a little too dry and fell apart as you tried to eat them. Cheese Chicken Kebabs were okay but the omelette like texture and the taste just wasn't good enough.<br/><br/>The worst, though, has to be the Chocolate Hummus! I know. It seems like a bad idea and it was. The accompanying Phyllo Cigars were amazing, though. Crispy, light and topped with powdered sugar. But the hummus just failed miserably.<br/><br/>VERDICT<br/><br/>Frankly, I loved most of the food at Souk. I will definitely be going there again. Middle Eastern cuisine is one of my favourite cuisines and they do it really well. I'm just praying they keep the Haleem and Lamb kofta year round. I will have that everytime I go there, for sure! Some dishes need improvement, but they are not deal breakers at all. Overall I would definitely say, Souk is a must try place!

#Dewil Shawarma One of the best sharwarma served<br/>Before ,with lots of love . Chicken served here is halal chicken . Special menu for events are also available.

<br/><br/>Souk means a market in Arabic. To me it means "sukh" or happiness. When you are treated to some of the finest items on your menu, and served with love, what else can the feeling be.<br/>So, at the onset of the auspicious month of Ramzan, when the restaurant wanted to roll out a special menu, some of us were invited to try out their delightful offerings. There were quite a few hits, and some near misses, but overall a very satisfying experience.<br/><br/>What I liked -<br/>#haleem - Meat, lentil, wheat, spices, pounded and slow cooked overnight . No, I have never had anything like this before, definitely not in Pune. Absolutely top class. #musttry<br/><br/>#koftakabab pan-fried balls of minced lamb, topped with yogurt garlic sauce. Lipsmacking!<br/>#musttry<br/><br/>#pide, or the Turkish pizza - both the veg (pesto mushroom) and non-veg (roasted garlic chicken) were delicious. #highlyrecommended<br/><br/>We were also served Doner kababs (pita pockets stuffed with grilled soya/chicken, and packed along with lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes and sauces), which we liked a lot.<br/>I am not much a fan of salads, so can't comment on the Fattoush or he Hummus chicken salad<br/>The desserts included kannafeh cheesecake, phyllo cigars with chocolate hummus, both of which was standard stuff and can be improved upon, but the baklava was the best of the lot. Layered with almonds, this sweet, sinful dessert is a signature dish for the restaurant, not without a reason.<br/><br/>It was very evident that a lot of effort has gone into making this menu, and as a result, the outcome was also very satisfying. A big thumbs up and all the best to Team Souk.<br/>

I ordered chiken shawarma platter.This is my first order here. Sorry to say this I never had such a worse shawarma till now. It is not at all good.

My last vacation was all about exploring local food scene and some vibrant, sprawling local souks smelling with spices and fresh breads; destination which I feel as a foodie's paradise and after returning home I was left with lots of memories, memories of polishing off large saucers of hummus with stack of pitas along with unknown diners sharing the same table. And then when I heard from Aniruddha about tasting at SOUK, a restaurant in Pune known for middle eastern n lebanese food, I jumped off the opportunity! #peotastingtable And no wonder it turned out to be beautiful evening wiping mezze platter n haleem, gobbling up baklava which made me relive a bit of that trip. And of course that same feel of community dining, sharing table with some unknown faces and some old friends, relishing food and endless chatters which is always a key feature of peo tastings/connect tables.<br/><br/>Souk by Cafe Arabia launched Ramdan special limited time menu recently as they completed one year. Menu is short, simple yet covering beverages, salads to desserts.<br/><br/>So, go with your gang and make most of thus special menu.<br/><br/>Dishes which I loved most are-<br/><br/>• Kofta kebeb- melt in mouth lamb kebabs! These were pan grilled minced lamb kebabs floating in delicious youghurt garlic sauce.<br/><br/>• Turkish Pide- it's a boat shaped middle eastern pizza. Though both veg and non veg variants were delish, I favoured mushroom one. Sauteed mushrooms, oozing cheese, caramalised onions, pesto sauce- what's not to love here! Don't remember how many pieces I devoured.<br/><br/>• Haleem- Fantastic! Superb amalgamation of meat, lentils and ghee topped with birista! Worth a drive only for this dish :)<br/><br/>• Cold Mezze Platter- I love mezze plates. You keep enjoying these and sipping your drink till other dishes arrives. The one served here was a visual delight with quite a variety to try. Hummus, beetroot hummus, moutabbal, tzatziki, labneh along with pita, zatar spiced bread and lavash! And some pickled veggies n tabouleh.<br/><br/>Loved all the desserts from the menu. Only the part that didn't work for me was chocolate hummus, it's either because of the combination or very low evel of the sweetness.<br/><br/>• Baklava- Do not miss this crunchy, flaky, sugary treat! Coming here and not ordering baklava is a sin.<br/>• Walnut n cream stuffed warbat was equally decadent.<br/><br/>• Kanafeh cheesecake- this fusion absolutely worked for me. The description on the menu will leave you drooling- Sweet crunchy kanafeh pastry and creamy keshta topped cheesecake- a drizzle of cardamom n cinnamon kissed sugar syrup ties the flavours together!<br/><br/>They also serve Doner kebabs(soya/grilled chicken) and salads(fattoush/hummus chicken) as a part of this special menu. My little one had mildly spiced cheese chicken kebabs and some pita bread.<br/><br/>Thank you Kunal, Girija and team Souk for warm hospitality. Congratulations team Souk for first anniversary and cheers to many more years!<br/><br/>

I was at Kausar baug to enjoy iftari and had read reviews about souk close to that location I was craving to have the haleem there, but sadly the haleem was almost over but a friend managed to get a plate for us. I was super excited to taste it with lot of expectations of having the best haleem but sadly I took the first bite to realise that it was extra salty and the haleem was not cooked perfectly. I also ordered a chicken shwarma that turned out to be bland. Souk u Totally disappointed me

On my last visit to Souk I tried their special Ramadan Menu. Right from the drinks to the dessert the taste was simply outstanding. Their Haleem was simply delicious. The Baklava was one of the best dessert I have tasted. All the dishes were simply wow. Had a great experience.

Souk by cafe Arabia<br/>Opp salunkhe vihar telephone exchange.. Next to DCD<br/><br/>As most of us know cafe Arabia specializes in Arabian/middle eastern /Lebanese food and they are pretty awesome at it<br/><br/>A few days back they launched a Ramzan menu inspired by their USP that is middle eastern cuisine<br/><br/>The special menu is short and has a good selection of food.. Ranging from refreshing drinks...salads.. Appetizers.. Mains and deserts<br/><br/>I Wldnt go much into details about all the dishes but Wld highlight few outstanding dishes<br/><br/>Haleem... These guys make the best haleem in Pune hands down... No one comes close to these guys (trust me.. I know my haleem).. Right from the texture.. To the flavours.. It's mind blowing<br/><br/>Kofta kebab... One word.. Outstanding<br/><br/>Then a obvious desert has to be the baklava... I am very biased towards this cause I personally love the one these guys make.. Even Kunal Jagwani knows how much am I in love with their baklava<br/><br/>the rest of the dishes are a clear winner too<br/><br/>So overall we had a amazing time.. With some kickass food and great service<br/><br/>Ps.. The menu is kid friendly too<br/><br/>So guys head to souk asap and enjoy the limited time menu and stop regretting<br/><br/>

I ordered various dishes like salads, kebabs, haleem, cold mezze platter, turkish pide & dessert. Presentation of all the dishes was beautiful and the flavours in each dishes could be felt in the mouth. Really impressed with this place. Tasty food, great ambiance. Do visit one.

I visited this place with my friends to try out their special Ramadan menu. I was really impressed with the variety of dishes they have in their menu. All the dishes were so yummy. And the best part was the desserts which was simply amazing.

One of my favorites, this place never disappoints me ever, whatever you order you would want like to try more and more.<br/>None are spicy just the way their cuisine should be mild but flavourful<br/>Haleem turned to be one of the food that turned to be an item worth remembering for..<br/>Loveddddd their garlic chicken pida uffff even with tunmy full you would want to munch more and more with greed.. But can say a good greed.. 😇😇🙈

New ramadan menu<br/><br/>Souk by Café Arabia, is serving some awesome middle eastern menu and have a cosy comfortable seating to enjoy a pleasant summer evening with your friends and family.

This is a good place ambience wise but they dont know anything abt preparing mocktails. they might as well take it off their menu. I ordered Blue Butterfly and it was pathetic. It wasnt prepared as per the description on the Menu. completely waste. I asked them to cancel it as the Mocktail dint have any key ingredients but they refused to do that as well. I just left the drink there paid them and left.

Hi, <br/><br/>We found an insect in the food we ordered. On pointing this to the management of the hotel, there were very rude and not at all sorry for it.<br/><br/>Felt really bad.  Just a feedback <br/><br/>

A decent cafe located at Salunke Vihar serves the best Lebanese food. Tried their Shawarma from über eats and liked it a lot and made me visit the place 😋 . Do not skip having their hummus. It’s a must try also loved their paneer ! It’s a place where even vegetarians can enjoy a good meal.<br/>Also one cannot leave the place without having their Baklava 😍

Souk – meaning a market or bazar in Arabic language, is usually a big marketplace for all things a buyer needs. Taking we from the meaning, Souk by Café Arabia, hosts a huge array of Middle Eastern cuisine, to cater the cravings to its patron who gets for the cuisine.<br/><br/>The menu is similar to what Café Arabia serves but there are a lot more variations and an addition of desserts, beverages, milkhskes and mock tails at Souk. The sitting is ample with tables spaced out to easily accommodate large group.<br/><br/>Here’s what we tried at The Souk –<br/><br/>1. Mojito (190/-)<br/><br/>Virgin Mojito in mason jars. A bit overpriced is what we felt though.<br/><br/>2. Lebanese Sunset (120/-)<br/><br/>A concoction of Mango juice, ginger, lemon and soda, the beverage was a disappointment as the amount of ginger was so overpowering that the sweetness of Mango tasted Tart.<br/><br/>3. Fattoush (170/-)<br/><br/>Fresh lettuce, onion, bell pepper, cucumber and other vegetables together compose the fattoush salad. The herbed vinaigrette dressing tossed with sumac hits the right notes.<br/><br/>4. Hummus Platter (250/-)<br/><br/>A mezze platter with 4 types of Hummus (Beetroot, Basil Pesto, Jalapeno Harissa and Original Hummus) served with Pita bread, among the ones served, beetroot and jalapeno harissa impressed our taste buds, the basil pesto carried a pasty texture and a slightly runny consistency.<br/><br/>5. Ultimate Skillet Fries<br/><br/>Piping hot fries served with peppers, olives, jalapenos and sour cream, as ultimate dish that has a wonderful taste of different elements blend quite well!<br/><br/>Recommended.<br/><br/>6. 4 Cheese melt Turkish Pide (160/-)<br/><br/>A middle eastern take on Pizza, the pide (pee-day) is a boat shaped flatbread.<br/><br/>The four cheeses of this dish were Mozzarella, Cheddar, Gouda and Emmentel along with cherry tomatoes and basil leaves. The base was soft and the four cheeses literally melted our soul.<br/><br/>7. Peppy Paneer Turkish Pide (200/-)<br/><br/>Pan seared paneer, peppers and onion along with oodles of cheese is what makes this Pide.<br/><br/>Recommended.<br/><br/>8. Pesto Mushroom (200/-)<br/><br/>Caramelised onions, mushrooms with a base of pesto, though sounds delicious, was not upto the mark. We hardly tasted the pesto sauce and thus, left us unimpressed.<br/><br/>9. Shish Taook on Rice (250/-)<br/><br/>Large pieces of paneer marinated in a pesto sauce, topped on a butter garlic herbed rice and served with hummus and salad. The paneer had marination absorbed to the core, thus making it delicious and palatable. The main highlight was the rice though! Subtly flavoured and buttery to the last grain, we don’t mind carrying a bowlful home and eat it daily!<br/><br/>10. Strawberry Cheesecake Shake (150/-)<br/><br/>The consistency of the shake was just perfect, neither too runny nor extremely thick. The layer of crumbs was proportionate to the quantity of the shake.<br/><br/>Recommended.<br/><br/>11. Salted Caramel Banana Shake (150/-)<br/><br/>The amount of banana was way too much in the shake and there was no hint of the salted caramel in the shake. The salted caramel would have cut the tooth aching sweetness wonderfully.<br/><br/>12. Baklava with Ice-Cream (150/-)<br/><br/>I had tried the baklava at Café Arabia and was swooned over by it instantly. The one at Souk is presented in a crown shape, topped with a generous scoop of vanilla ice-cream. The Baklava was still a favourite, the addition of ice-cream didn’t create much difference.<br/><br/>13. Skillet Baked Chocolate Chip Cookie (160/-)<br/><br/>An innovative dessert and by far our favourite dish at the Souk, the cookie dough is baked in the skillet itself with a gooey center and crisp coating, this is one indulgence we won’t be guilty about!<br/><br/>Highly Recommended.<br/><br/>14. Rose Pannacotta (120/-)<br/><br/>A panna cotta with silken texture, wobbly consistency and a delicate flavour of rose, this dessert is a treat for your taste buds.<br/><br/>Souk is your one stop answer to all the Middle Eastern cravings. The prices too do not burn a huge hole in your pocket and the place is ideal for a casual date or even a meal out with family.<br/><br/>We would like to thank Kunal Jagwai, for extending an invitation and staff at the Souk for their courteousness.<br/>

Ordered multiple times from here and to my surprise they never disappointed. Packaging speaks for the charges and is very neat and tidy. The food boxes are wrapped in paper envelopes and stapled perfectly.<br/><br/>The restaurant never forgets to pack extra condiments along with the food. I tried almost everything and found harissa chicken skewers the most amazing starter.<br/><br/>Want to do some mediterranean experiments? :must try this outlet!

Been there thrice and this place never disappoints me. Had ordered souk fries which was perfect and crispy and shish taouk on rice which had perfect blend of chicken tikka n herbed rice. If you are a chocolate lover never forget to try Choco Ferraro shake and to beat the summer the mocktails are so soothing specially the Lebanese sunset had mango blend in it. The staff is so generous and the service is quite fast. Must visit.

Had a great time with the simple but unique ambiances the food was just on point as u accept a Arabic style would be the desert we awesome and the staff was quick as well

Great place to hangout with friends. They serve really good Arabian food. Had Chicken shawarma which was delecious. Sipping mojito while chatting with friends on a summer evening at this place is worth. Then I would suggest you to try baklava here it's tempting and you can't just stop craving it later. They also have really nice way of serving choco chip cookie.

I heart outdoor seating and it has been long since I had chicken shawarma. Thankfully Souk is closer to my home and the outlet is subtle in ambience at a busy area. But once you'll step in, its a calm zone. Ample space to sit with family and friends.I have been here thrice with my husband and the service have been polite and order has been spot on. The time taken for the order to be served is quite reasonable.We ordered a chicken grill, chicken shawarma platter, the white pizza and a cold coffee. <br/>I order cold coffee wherever it is available. This place had a really good one.The chicken grill was okay kind.Their chicken shawarma platter in fulfilling and tasty. The white pizza has a very pleasant flavour; is good for a happy stomach.<br/><br/>Costing is reasonable.

We ordered a shawarma from this outlet....<br/>Taste was ok....<br/>Haven't tried anything else to judge further ..<br/>Shawarma could be much better ...<br/>Hummus tasted perfect...still the shawarma lacked the middle eastern flavor....<br/>Looking fwd to try something else soon...

I love everything about this place. Perhaps one of the best places in Pune for Lebanese and Middle East cuisines. The staff is also very friendly and keen to help you to choose the best from the menu. I tried almost everything in their menu, my personal favorite is Zaatar Chicken Salad and Mix Mezze Platter. I always wonder if they server Baba Ganoush, had even spoken with the owner about it. Not to mention, their Hummus and Turkish Pide (Turkish Pizza) are also delicious. Thanks Souk for serving quality food. Looking forward to taste Baba Ganoush soon, I am sure you guys will never disappoint.

The food is really good and i love it!! what i really liked about this place is that if you give a feedback the owners are genuinely taking your feedback and looking at every minute details.<br/>Well done team Souk. Great Going!!

Went there on a Sunday evening hoping to have some good Shawarma based on some feedback I'd received from friends. Although the ambience is cozy and the staff attentive the food's still a little disappointing. We had the Mixed Mezze Platter, Devil's Shawarma, Chicken Shawarma and the Lamb Shawarma and while some of them were interesting largely the Chicken Shawarma strips and the Lamb wasn't cooked well enough...

This place is a casual dining restaurant that serves Arabian, Lebanese and Mediterranean delicacies. The interior & the exterior of this place is very well decorated. It is a perfect place to hang out. Some of the must-try delicacies that they serve are ‘Shish Taouk on rice’- traditionally marinated chicken serve over buttered herbed rice with side salad as well.

Amazed amazed and really amazed with the food haven’t been there but ya I have ordered several times from this place nd the food is really worth ordering again nd again very nice packaging their hummus and garlic sauce is really amazing tried their few platters grilled chicken shawarma nd I was never disappointed the taste nd the meat is perfectly cooked nd very fresh they really serve a very authentic Mediterranean food go for it I review only when I really like it

Decent ambiance with pretty lights and good food. Definitely worth a visit for Lebanese food. Home delivery also is always quick and well made.

Instead of MAYO...why not try HUMMUS!😍<br/>.<br/>▪Hummus is a Middle Eastern spread made from Chickpea,tahini,olive oil & lemons all blended to a smooth paste.😋<br/>▪It is usually eaten with Zatar bread which is a special herb stuffed in between pita bread.

The staff is extremely humble. The chicken in the Shawarma is nice and soft. The hummus platter is a must have and so is shish tawook. If you're a Zatar lover, do try the zatar fried chicken

Ammazing food and wonderfully packed.. the packing was such that the hunger for food increased!! Not seen such packing in a while. It also asks for Special cooking instructions which is 👍🏻👍🏻

Harissa chicken skewers- tasty. Zaatar fried chicken- good flavour but a lot of batter and less of chicken. Overall tad expensive for delivery.

Ordered Mushroom shawarma and chicken shawarma and lamb pilaf rice. Good food, good taste and ambience. Quantity is also a lot for the price.

I ordered food yesterday from this out let.I was very much let down by the quality of food.we had ordered shawarma and after eating half,got a very bad taste Food being spoiled is one thing . this was different.The taste was like gutter/toilet,was just horrible to eat,after eating of which one of my family members had a vomiting spell..Even the smell was unbearable.seems like someones left overs were made into a shawarma roll.I was shocked at how bad this thing could taste..we called the restaurant to communicate the issue after one chat,they switched off the phone. I will never order from this place again, actually I am so mentally disturbed by this, that I may stop eating shawarma from any place again. Because YES,IT WAS THAT HORRIBLE.and we didn't receive any support from the restaurant or zomato

i ordered shwarma platter... all i got was a shwarma

Mocktails and kebab platter is decent, hummus platter is just attractive, Pita bread is not great,not much vegeterian options, good ambience and staff,

Simply amazing food. Really good ambiance and outdoor seating. We ordered shish taouk kabab which was delicious and highly recommended. The souk fries were crispy and coated with a nice spicy powder. The shawarma and Zatar fried chicken were good, but not very great. The chicken habsa was really tasty and one plate is enough for 3 people. The best part of the meal was the baklava. Super duper delicious and finger licking. Surely order it. This place is highly recommended for Lebanese food lovers.

best lebanese food. Devils shawarma and lamb pide is my favorite. Been here 7-8 times already in 3 months but they need to add more variety now for me 😄 (5 star)<br/>

Lovely ambience and great food. We ordered the kebabs platter and it was delicious and succulent. The pita bread served with it was lightly roasted. Another dish was the chicken shwarma platter. Again delicious and the hummus was very good.<br/>Service is quick and courteous and the food is value for money.

Amazing Grilled Chicken.. very juicy and less oily.. A must try... It the best place to order grilled chicken. Whenever my diet has grilled chicken it's always ordered from details. Keep it up...

best lebanese food in pune. I have tried all the places. I love the shawarma ordered online many time. Try mushroomish for vegetarian . Totally worth for money. Not gonna disappointed eating here. Do explore it...

Souk by cafe arabia serves good authentic middle eastern food with a twist. Rose panacotta in desserts was our favorite and Harissa chicken skewers and chicken Kabsa in the mains stood out for us.

GOOD FOOD PERIOD.<br/>never really had arabic food as good as they serve.<br/>Al faham kebab - 5/5<br/>harissa chicken skewers - 5/5<br/>skewered mushrooms kebabs - 5/5.<br/>mix mezze platter - 5/5<br/>non veg kebab platter- 5/5<br/>chicken kabsa - 5/5 *it was extremely yummy<br/>only bad experience we had was with harissa spiced potato wrap - it was amazing the first time but when we ordered again ( 2 more times) it wasn't good at all, had to discard it.

Souk means like a market place in middle eastern world. Menu is nicely mixed and flavours are noteworthy. Very close to<br/><br/>Indian taste they are subtle and authentic. Nothing greasy or heavy (like how Arabic food should be) this place is something I will recommend to all people to try affordable middleastern food.

I have been here a couple of times, and love the food. These are the must try dishes, authentic Arabian food. This time was with my Mother and her 1st time, she loved it too. <br/><br/>Only suggestion to the restaurant is that need to change the plastic glasses. Rest all<br/>Good.

I have tried chicken shawarma and chicken grill with herbed rice couple of times. The taste is perfect with correct amount of seasoning and sauces. Highly recommended, and easy on pocket.

Today I ordered 3 wraps. They were 1 Chicken Shawarma, 1 Shish Taouk Wrap and 1 Original Falafel Shawarma. They honestly did not disappoint at all. Firstly the food was delivered exactly on time within 20 mins on the dot. The wraps were slightly warm but the taste of all of them were simply delicious. There was plenty of sauce and the chicken in 2 wraps were simply soft, tender and melted in my mouth while the falafel was just as tasty . Will definitely order from here again and try some new dishes at the earliest.<br/><br/>Only posted pictures of the chicken shawarma.<br/><br/>Thanks for the wonderful meal 😊

Both the chicken Shawarma and grilled chicken were tasty and well cooked. I just loved it.

Taste of food was not good.also quantity of veg shwarma was very small compare to the price tag.chicken shwarma taste was not good.#friends.

So Arabian Night it is..Souk gives you a feeling of more of modern day Arabian cafe.. The ambience is friendly.. Place is quite cozy.. Mainly about food, we ordered the Non veg platter..to me it was more of an Indian platter than Arabic..Taste was good.. Portion size was almost OK for a crowd of 4..overall 4 from me..

Ordered from Zomato. The shawarma was good, it can be better if the white sauce can be spread all over the bread instead of just at the ends.

Loved the food here value for money and it was delicious. This is like a evening place during the day time not much people are there and their actual service starts after 6. We enjoyed our meal here however they really need to do something about the flies as they irritated us the entire time that we were there which made us eat quickly and leave the place

Souk by cafe Arabia is a perfect place for meat lovers!<br/> This place serves Lebanese,Mediterranean food.<br/>The ambience is lovely at night and is perfect place for a cute date or to hangout with friends with beautiful lightings.They serve variety of dishes from pizza,chicken,dessert,mocktails etc<br/> We got to try their :-<br/>1)Harissa chicken skewers. 240/- (2.5/5)<br/>Spiced stripes of chicken thigh grilled and served with side salad and dip.<br/> 2)Lebanese sunset.120/- (3/5)<br/>Mango crush mixed with hint of ginger,lemon and ice topped with soda.

One star is being too generous for the shawarmas they serve. The quality has degraded to a level of being inedible. Had bad food poisoning by eating their chicken and lamb shawarma, you cant really call that lamb. The chicken tastes as if it had been cooked hours back and they just stuffed it in their pita bread. Quantity has decreased and the hygiene factor is practically zero.

The quantity is really less as compared to rates <br/>They can do better for 250 , it does feed 1 person too.

Best place in Pune for Arabic food. If u love Arabic food then this is the place for u. Their Hammus Platter & Kebab Platter r just too good. 👍👍

The food is good..quality and quantity both are nice.. seating arrangement can be changed though...<br/>Quantity 5<br/>Quality 5<br/>Hygiene 3<br/>Worth for money 5<br/><br/>Up

♥️Souk by Café Arabia♥️<br/><br/>Ever caught up in a situation that you have to eat vegetarian food at a place serving awesome Lebanese and Middle Eastern meaty delicacies??<br/><br/>Well I was in such a situation last weekend when I was at Souk by Café Arabia, Wanowrie.<br/><br/>To my surprise, this place not only has a good number of vegetarian items on their menu, but most of them are even trending.<br/><br/>I tried the standard Hummus Platter (recommended) and it was on point. Served with Zatar rubbed pita bread along with 4 different hummus (original classic, basil pesto, jalapeno harissa & the betroot hummus . I liked jalapeno harissa the most!!<br/><br/>Next up was the beetroot kebab platter and the texture of these kebabs is out of the world. Beetroot minced with other veggies and fried to perfection (drooling while typing). It was served with in-house mayo and I loved it.<br/><br/>Also tried the falafel platter...golden brown falafel with the crispy crunchy texture went well with the classic hummus and pita. The presentation is too good, as each falafel tikki is topped with an olive ring and looks very inviting 😊<br/><br/>Tried the Turkish flatbread called Pide for the first time in my life. It looks like a pizza but tastes heaven. We opted for Peppy paneer and Pesto Mushroom topping (half 'n' half) and these toppings are the winner. Generously loaded with cheese and the way mushrooms were treated to go well with the caramelized onions can't be described in words. It wasn't even thin crust but I could still prominently taste the toppings. I am dreaming about how a chicken pide would taste like...😋😋😋<br/><br/>I was totally full after eating all this, but desserts are mandatory to feel accomplished. Tried the rose panacotta and baklava with ice cream. The rose panacotta was a surprise as it had fresh rose petals topped on a wobbly panacotta presented beautifully with rose syrup. This has actually become a new favourite now. Well what can I say about the baklava, I think you must go and try the baklava.<br/><br/>Now waiting to try the non-veg here which is their forte😋😋 Will visit real soon...!!

Finally a dine in space to have my favorite Arabian food from Cafe Arabia. Tried the hummus plate with grilled chicken. Must say the taste is constant to the other outlets.

Ordered food from this place through swiggy. Chicken shawarmas were stale. The grilled chicken was raw and smelled rotten. The overall taste and quality of the food was very poor. The Mayo dip was stale and smelled weird.. if you like ruining your health, spoiling your pallet, and wasting your money, this is the place for you! :)

These fries were just mouth watering.. they are souk fries and it was very yummy.. a must try.. staff if too good and the ambiance too.. a good place to chill out with friends❤️

Tried shawarma but I found it very salty and spicy , also tried grilled half chicken with rice which turned out to be amazing , nicely prepared and presented . <br/>The aroma and taste of chicken was amazing , every cut of chicken was tender and hot . Spices coming out of the meal made me forget the bad shawarma experience .

Service needs to a tune up.<br/>Plus Saturday night. You can't tell patrons that items are not available, especially if it's still 9pm.<br/>But the portions were good

Such a great place to enjoy Arabian food :)<br/>Ordered for the mushroom pesto pide which is a flatbread, also known as the Turkish pizza. And, Shish taouk on rice. Both the dishes were so tasty and flavourful. Their hummus is well made.<br/>Amazed by the value for money!

I went on an evening when it was empty .<br/>The service was not that great.<br/>We ordered the chicken shwarma it was ok<br/>We had the harrisa chicken skewers and they were brilliant.<br/>Would like to try more dishes but the service is slow.<br/>But a good place for Arabian food in this area.
