ARABESKA

Saturday afternoon. 3 diners. We ordered mushroom and onion hummus - great. Hummus with strips of meat - very tasty. Green salad and dream - an amazing dish. Meat-stuffed cube - did not arrive at the table but appeared on the bill.. A friki dish with shredded meat and zucchini - a great dish. The pitas are heated and not good - too bad. Coke, 2 dark beers and 2 sodas. 286 shekels before service. We really enjoyed it.

Small portion. .... The price was not I was disappointed. We came specifically. We will not return... It's a shame we didn't go to the Thai restaurant across the street, decent portions at a reasonable price. You know!!!

Personally, I wasn't thrilled, it was just nice.

We visited Arabeska in the Talpiot Market in Haifa and really enjoyed the unique atmosphere, the friendly service and the richly flavored Arabic cuisine. The dishes were served with fresh, high-quality ingredients, with a homely and authentic feel that is felt in every bite. The place is colorful, cozy and blends in wonderfully with the special atmosphere of the market.

There aren't many places that feel like home from the moment you step outside — but Arabeska is definitely like that. We arrived after lunch at another restaurant in the Talpiot Market in Haifa, and yet something about this place drew me in and met the person behind all the good reviews — Akram Abed, the chef and owner, “The Diva.” There is a warmth in the restaurant that is hard to explain in words — a warm, clean, soulful home, a happy staff, and people who just love to be there, and amidst the madness of rush hour and full tables, Akram came out of the kitchen to greet me, even when he knew we wouldn't be sitting down to eat. This is exactly the moment when you realize that not only is the food special here — but also the hearts of the people behind it. Some people cook food, and some people cook love — and that's exactly what you feel in this wonderful restaurant. I will definitely be back soon, and when I return, I will also bring my close American chef with me, so that he can feel what real food with soul is ❤️
