Jaz No doubt they have best bbq dishes in town. Also loved Sea bass & Chicken soup in winters. Thanks to Prince for making sure we got good service & food

Kalina Christev Short review: great food, fast service, good prices. Definitely recommend! Small Somali restaurant my friend introduced me to. I got the soup of the day as an appetiser and slow cooked lamb with rice as a main, with speciality tea after. The soup of the day was a lamb bone broth with lemon, and it was DIVINE. So delicious, so warming. They bring this amazing chili sauce you can add to it which makes it absolutely perfect. (Be warned - it is very spicy! Only add one small teaspoon at a time!) I would come back just for that soup as its the best Ive ever had. And only £1.50! The lamb shoulder was very tender and the rice was really well seasoned. The veg sprinkled on top was just right. For the rice, its recommend to mix in a few teaspoons of the chili sauce (again - its very hot so dont add lots in one go). Bananas were brought to the table with the option of adding them to the rice, but I didnt try it. £10 for a very large portion. We had some kind of Somali tea with milk, cardamom and cinnamon at the end. I dont know what it was, but it was lovely.

Robert Jesse Second time being there and the restaurant never disappoints! Drinks and food were good — I did try the rabbit, wasn’t expecting the fried texture but the inside was delicious. I was hoping for a birthday dessert since I mentioned in the booking that we were celebrating my girlfriend’s birthday, but overall I’ll definitely go there again!

moinul ali I have tried the wings meal and doner meals there, great wings nice hand cup chips and the doner is decent, only thing I can recommend for the shop to do better is put the chilli sauce out front free to use not hide it in the back, it’s abit awkward asking for chilli and someone watching you like you used too much. The chilli is great and would like to have more of it!! Apart from that give it a go!

Elysa Mae An incredible experience, the food was delicious and serving sizes were more generous than expected. You pay a good price for the variety and quality. The service was great, every person was lovely and attentive. It wasn’t too busy when we arrived but started to fill up while we were eating (midday during a weekday). A strong recommendation and I plan on returning for sure.

Kokoroko Came here this evening for my wife’s work do. The starters were superb the portions were really generous the variety here is really good with great vegetarian options in abundance. The various breads that came with the mains were also amazing everything was so fresh and tasty the main dishes were also great portion sizes , it all came at the same time not in shifts which I really hate especially when there’s lots of guests. The service from everyone was attentive and the beers were lovely and cold and reasonably priced unlike most overpriced pubs these days. Arena is definitely a restaurant I will come back to with friends and family. Seriously good Indian food
