Le Arabia Restaurant Basaveshwar Nagar — Restaurant in Bengaluru

Quarter - Half - Full

They do have middle eastern cuisine but also very good north indian mughlai options. The best part of the menu was the option to choose quarter plate, half plate or full plate for the sabzis. This makes a lot of sense as we can take smaller portions to try more dishes and also avoid wasting food.

Family get together was held, staff cooperated well.

Le Arabia as most people may misinterpret this restaurant to be a purely Arabian cuisine is completely wrong. Having been rated as 4+ on Zomato, we wanted to make sure that we experience this fabulous place, rich in all kinds of food. Le Arabia has a wide range of options when it comes to the type of food they offer, be it the Arabic, North Indian, Kerala, Mughlai, and even the Chinese. With so many options to choose from, selecting what you want may in fact be the toughest task. Considering I was here for a small bite, I had a very light meal and with that itself I was truly satisfied. With the idea of having just two course meal, we ordered the Kadhai Chicken, which is also known as Spicy Chicken as our curry. The regular mix of tomatoes, onions, and Capsicum do the magic in this dish, but I must say, the spice is a lot more than expected. If you love spicy curries to go along with your bread, then this must be your choice. What goes best with a curry? An Indian bread for sure. For me Butter Naan is my go to choice anytime of the day or week or just anytime. The Butter Naan were big in portions and I was happy that they were not over cooked, burnt, or crispy. The butter was perfect, and the naan was easily chewable and soft. The next offering, we tried were the Lime Juice and Fresh Lime Soda. There cannot be much of a let down when it comes to either of the two drinks. The right amount of salt and sugar was added, and the drinks tasted well. The big let down was that it took them more than 30 minutes to prepare and serve the two drinks, which I feel is something that can be done in a span of five to ten minutes max. The last dish of the day had to be a dessert. As much as we craved to try something regional, we could not go forward as we did not like the choices that were available. So, we went for the next best thing, The Chocolate Chip Cookie ice cream. The ice cream was presented beautifully, the hot chocolate sauce and the choco chips were a plus, but the chocolate ice cream was very disappointing. I did not like the taste; it was very sour. Le Arabia has a beautiful ambiance, lovely staff who always interact with you and keep a tab on you, and they do have valet...

Good food, great interiors. The interiors are splendid, and the ambience is good. We went at 12:50pm, so it was empty and we got the ordered items in 10min Manchow veg soup: Hot mild spicy soup, salt was less but i liked it. Good quantity Starters: Alfaham- Not bad ,4 pieces in half plate, felt a bit dry than usual. Not the best .served with kaboos and mayo. Irani chicken kabab- nice starter with mild spices served with mint chutney. Crispy chicken - crunchy chicken strips dipped in a Manchurian honey masala. Tasted great, best starter Main course Butter naan with chicken maharaja- naan felt a bit rubbery, but good taste . The gravy was excellent, slightly tasted like butter chicken with less sweet and more spice. Very expensive though. It was suggested by the waiter there Hyderabadi chicken biryani - This was amazing, taste similar to Meghana biryani but with bone chicken pieces and correct amount of masala. At 190 per plate, it is totally worth it. Desserts Choco dad- served in a glass tumbler, choco ice cream on top of strawberry icecream with crunchy caramel and tooti frooti, great taste Ice cream with brownie sizzler- Brownie was okay and chocolate syrup vanilla ice-cream combo was fine

Service was fast initially as no one was there but slowed down after people started coming in.. We finished our entire meal in less than an hour but the sizzler took 30+ min to come. The bengalli waiter gave us great suggestions and the other servers did a great job. Parking is a hassle so we parked in an adjacent cross road.

Restrooms are clean enough. Overall a good stop for some quality family...

The quality of this restaurant has fallen drastically and would recommend you to Avoid this place.

First of all the A/C in the first floor is not working, it was suffocating and extremely hot. We were all sweaty by the time we finished the meals.

Menu- the menu is printed in such small letters that it is extremely difficult to read in the dim lights of the restaurant. Senior citizens can't even read that menu.

Half the things which sounds interesting in the menu won't be available. Le- Arabia, a place where everyone goes to try the Arabic cusine- won't have any arabic varieties. It's just become a normal non veg restaurant and most of their customers end up ordering either biryani or Shawarma.

We ordered Shawarma on the plate and shawarma- a local Shawarma will be much more tasteful than the ones given by this restaurant. Chicken was dry and hard to chew, very less mayo was given.

Even the drinks mentioned in the menu was not available. Ice cream was told will take time to be ready. The waiters don't even give spoons and forks until we ask for it. Water is served in paper glass which looks so cheap.

For such pathetic service and food, the cost is extremely high and we had to go through this entire trauma without the A/C making the whole experience a nightmare that we never want to visit this...
