Our family of 5 came here for lunch and we ordered the mixed family platter. The food was so delicious and fresh and the portion sizes were very generous! We loved all the different dips and pickled vegetables and the bread was warm and fresh! Our server was very friendly and came to check on us multiple times and refill our hot water for the tea. We really enjoyed our meal here and will be back again!

Loved the food! The garlic sauce was the highlight. I recommend getting the plates as they come with fries/rice. Wraps are huge and make a good meal too. Next time I’m gonna get the dip sampler.

If you want delicious Lebanese, Middle Eastern, food, you must try this restaurant, you will not be disappointed!

Plenty of free parking at the front ad rear of the building.

Clean and love the atmosphere, which has authentic Lebanese music!

Our server was absolutely fantastic! She was attentive, fast, friendly and polite. We attended for a Sunday lunch, which was not busy at all.

Food ordering is done via smartphone; you scan a QR code at your table and order. It's very easy, fast and you get an email confirming your order. You pay at your table afterwards. I waited a few days before this review and thus far have never received any type of advertising or spam email from this restaurant.

Portion sizes are very generous and very tasty!!
I was impressed with the Vegetarian Plate. The falafels were perfectly prepared and fresh; not dry and like hockey pucks that some places have. If you like eggplant, you will love them here! Very well seasoned and cooked to perfection!

The Chicken Shawarma Plate was absolutely fantastic and worth coming here just for this dish; it was mouth-watering!! The garlic dipping sauce was very good but I wish it had a stronger garlic taste.

The Fatoush and Jerusalem Salads were both very tasty.

The rice was well cooked and seasoned perfectly; as were the fries.

All in all, this was a very pleasant experience and the food is definitely worth us returning for.

The food is amazing, very authentic, and delicious.
They catered for me a party of 20 people, and everyone loved the Mansaf Lamb.
The meat was mouth-watering and excellent.

Keep up the great work.

Lovely restaurant with ample seating. Delicious middle eastern cuisine. Hugely satisfying portion sizes and accordingly priced. Worth the food.
Lots of options to choose from. U order through the QR code, add your table number. Pay after at the restaurant.
Don't forget to end your meal with the Turkish coffee and some dessert. They run out of the desserts (Harissa, aka.Basbousa) quickly! Had to make do with the German chocolate cake instead
One thing I do not prefer is entering personal information like email while ordering through the payee interface (that's not optional!) hoping something can be done to change this.

Great spot in Kitchener for a sit down middle eastern / Palestinian shawarma or mashawi meal. The fresh hot and puffy bread is delicious with their Mtabal or humus. We also had the lentil soup, chicken and been wraps and we enjoyed it all. The portions are huge and perfect for sharing in that respect price is decent if you factor the sharing.
We will be coming back.

Excellent place.
Authentic Syrian / Lebanese cuisine, food is delicious and staff are courteous.

We have been to Arabesque several times before and the dining-in experience is great.

We also had the opportunity to order pickup, family platters and the experience is great. The food is delicious, quantities are large. 1/2 family platter was enough for 3 persons to eat well.
We highly recommend Arabesque.

Best shawarma in the Guelph / Kitchener area! Drove 30mins to try it and was so worth it!! The servers are so friendly and helpful. The pita is fresh and delicious. Everything was so so yummy. Really great experience, will definitely be back!
