But honestly, the first impression of this place was unsettling; dim white lights and narrow space that did not look like it can sit big groups.Cutting straight to the food, the Falefel ($9) served with tahini dip were highly enjoyed by the kids because they are after all fried food made with chickpeas. These were tasty but less crispy than Pita Pan’s.The Mezze Platter ($16) is good if you want to try a bit of everything. Hummus (chickpeas), Tahini (sesame), Gibna Mahrus (tangy feta cheese and tomatoes dip) with some salad of olives, light greens and pickles. The kids had something healthier- Fish Kebab Bukhari Rice. Though Bukhari is the capital of the Bukhara Province of Uzbekistan, the rice used is actually basmatic grains and Bukhari rice is a widely consumed staple in Saudi Arabia. The fish was lovely marinated and grilled. Overall, this plate is quite similar to our Chinese mixed vegetable rice, albeit in lesser gravy.While the savoury food was hearty, the mandatory sweet fix was less than satisfactory. From the Yemeni Pudding ($5.50), a Middle Eastern créme brulée made of cardamom to the Om Ali ($6.0), an Egyptian hot dessert made of sweetened milk with layers of puff pastries, raisins and pistachio toppings, they were lacklustre—too soggy and stale.So ignoring the desserts, my family enjoyed the exotic meal here even though it was their first-time experience. Service speed is like the movement of a slow tortoise although we were the first to arrive. But on the very least, the price is reasonable.

This is one of my favourite food place along arab street.. has good quality food and affordable price..1. Shish Kebab- the ang mo kia took this and it was really a good quality grilled lamb kebab with a very smokey taste. Meat was well done and tender.. a pity i dun like red meat but other than the strong lamb taste i really like the way they grilled it. 2. Falafel plate- there are 2 things i often eat at this place, falafel plate or chicken wrap and im often faced with the difficult choice of the 2 because eating both is too much for me.. The falafel plate cost $9 for 6 falafel and a dollop of hummus in the middle.. the falafel quality has improved.. not as hard as a ball as before.. yummmm...3. The arabic bread was soft and was good with the hummus dips.. they have a variety of dips so the arabic bread would have been great accompaniment with them.. Would like to try the mezza platter next time..4. Arabic salad- looks like they have increased the size (great!) and its a very fresh salad with tomatoes, cucumber, black and green olives with pine nuts in a citrus dressings.. superb starter!The place does not serve alcohol and has shisha too.. would be suitable for vegetarians as they have quite a good variety of vegetarian dishes.. service can be slow because they have a few areas and the place is often crowded.. esp u need to wait quite long for the bill!

During my previous long school holidays, my classmate, her best friend and I met up at Arab Street for a chilling session.While at this cafe, we ordered desserts as it was around tea time and we had already had lunch before that.I had a difficult time deciding on a dessert as they have a great variety of it!I ended up settling for the Double Chocolate Sundae cause I just can't get enough of chocolate goodness The sundae came with 2 huge scoops of chocolate ice cream, which was drizzled with chocolate sauce and almonds, topped with whipped cream and a cherry on top and a chocolate wafer stick at the side.The sight of it was enough to make my mouth water!!!The taste did not disappoint for sure!It was rich in chocolate but not too overpowering either and the combination of everything was just heavenly!Definitely a dessert to try when you need a perk-me-up!Be warned though. You can get VERY hyper from this dessert *not for the faint hearted* ;)
