As is often the case when traveling in foreign countries, some of the best dining experiences happen totally by chance. On a rather chilly day in Seville, I was hankering for a hot spiced wine. We had inquired at a number of bars and cafes without any luck, but the "greeter" outside Arabesca Restaurant smiled, nodded and directed us inside. After describing what I wanted to the manager, we were promptly seated with menus in hand. Our waiter then politely asked me what kind of wine I wanted him to heat??? What? I asked. In the microwave, he responded! OK, I would have to forego the hot spiced wine, and we ordered Moorish tea and glasses of vino Rioja. They now had us for dinner by default. What an incredible surprise and gastronomic experience. Our orders of Baked Casserole (Tajin) of boneless suckling lamb, apricots, plums, nuts and sesame and my Castaleta - Charcoal-grilled lamb chops with vegetables were scrumptuous. We even favorably recalled a number of our meals from a recent extended trip to Morocco. Arabesca Restaurant was a complete delight...food, service, atmosphere and value.

Arabesca is an absolute gem in Seville! From start to finish, our dining experience was incredible, and a huge part of that was thanks to our amazing server, Ossama. He was attentive, warm, and genuinely passionate about the menu. His recommendations made all the difference. We started with the Fattoush and Muhammara, which were fresh and bursting with flavor. For our main course, we chose the Mixed Platter for 1, which was beautifully presented and a perfect balance of flavors and textures. But the highlight of the night was their signature dish, the Arroz Bujari—a masterpiece of spices and perfectly cooked rice. To end the evening, we enjoyed a soothing cup of green tea, which was the perfect finale to an exceptional meal. Arabesca exceeded all expectations, and Ossama truly made it unforgettable with his kindness and expertise. If you’re in Seville, this place is a must-visit!

The restaurant has a nice ambience with a decent amount of indoor seating. Sevilla has plenty of Arabian/Mediterranean restaurant given the historic influence of those cultures, so we definitely wanted to try the food here. After we ordered, the waiter recommended we add another dish so we did. The flavors were great overall, I especially like the salad, hummus, and kebabs. Highly recommend those dishes. The Rice with Lamb Biryani came inside of a bread cover and there was a ton of lamb inside the dish. The dish was okay in terms of flavor in my opinion, but it's probably just my personal tastes. In the end, I think we shouldn't have ordered as much as the waiter had suggested because it was too much food, but we enjoyed the experience overall.

Is a place where the food excels though simplicity, dough very flavory and founded using quality ingredients (with taste and fresh). We usually like to experiment each time another place, and Arabesca "invited" us to do it 3 times at their place thanks to their nice service and very good food. It happened that we were served each time by Mohamed, which only brought a benefit as he already knew e.g. that I only drink the water at a room temperature and he kept ensuring on this the 2 and the 3 time we have been there. We highly recommend and for sure we will come again. I would have preferred the onion on the fish plate and the lemon to be less roasted (but the rest was delicious)

AMAZING FOOD AND SERVICE! In all honesty we had come to this side of seville for the restaurant next door but since it was full, we decided to give this a try. After entering, our experience inside was nothing but amazing! The ambience, the decor, the aura, the service and the food was nothing short of spectacular. The assorted mixed grill for 4 and the biryan rice were out of this world. We personally called over the chef to compliment him for the food. It was the best lebanese/syrian food we have ever had! The service was also quite friendly and enthusiastic. Our server, Kenya, made sure we had everything we needed. Overall: 15/10! P.S the baklava is to die for!

Great Halal food option in Seville. In fact this was the best dinner over our 5 day trip amongst various halal eateries in Seville. Service and ambience was great and the food was even better. We generally settled for mixed grills, lamb chops and various skewers which were all good, very well presented and tasted great. Highly recommend the lamb chops. Portion sizes were very generous too. For starters grilled Halloumi cheese was very good and highly recommended. Its beautifully presented and taste great. All other usuals including salads, humous was also good. Overall great food, bit on the pricy side compared to others but still worth it. Recommended.
