Arabesque - (Near Camden, South East)

Tivi Naves Local gem. Was meaning to give this restaurant a try for a while. It is now my go-to place for a takeaway or dine-in. The restaurant is located by belsize village, just a little bit to the side. There are enough sitting tables outside, as well as inside. The window fully opens, making it an open plan sitting space with fresh breeze. As you enter, staff welcome you with a smile. I also noticed a lot of people come in regularly, based on how they were welcomed. That is telling of a restaurant being welcoming and offering good quality dishes. We went for a shareable duck and watermelon salad, which came out fresh, with fresh and crispy herbs, fresh fruit and tender pieces of duck. The portion was very generous. For seconds we had sweet and sour prawns and pork belly with rice, both were superb. Very high quality food, very well prepared. The portions were generous, we even asked for the leftovers to be packed as it was enough food left for later. Overall, the menu offers a wide range of options to choose from. A mocktail was as well very generous and tasty. Drinks menu has a lot to offer. Very happy to find this gem. Will definitely be supporting this small local business in hopes they remain open and continue with this standard.

Ester Lo Verso A special thanks to Azaz, who took care of us during our dinner. The staff and atmosphere were amazing. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Regina Tilezhinskaia Lovely dinner for 2. Good prices and very tasty food. Portions arent big but filling. Lovely to have a rose and candle on the table. We got let in with no reservation. The atmosphere is lively but not quiet. Lamb dishes are great.

Nicole Matheson Just walked past and looked interesting so came in. Staff so lovely. We went with recommendations made and was delicious. I had the lamb neck (so soft and enjoy the flavour and the rice was so good). My friend had a chicken dish which was so good. Ended with a lovely cup of Persian tea... thank you for wonderful dinner

Paul Hoeffer Wonderful find. The food was excellent and the staff friendly and attentive. The coffee is also excellent. We had brunch and would gladly go back again.

Girija Rajendran Ottolenghi is an excellent place to enjoy delicious food .They have healthy options with moderate sweetness and a nice nutty flavor. We bought a salad, cheesecake, and chocolate cake— all were really good and worth the money. The salads are a bit pricey, but the taste still lingers in our minds. Presentation is beautiful, and simple meals cost around £30 per person. They also sell their Ottolenghi recipe books, which is a nice touch for food lovers. Definitely a place worth visiting!
