Nestled in the food court of Phoenix Mall, this is a very nice joint serving Middle-Eastern cuisines at attractive prices.The shawarma is definitely delicious and hummus was very fresh. Also when ordering chicken and rice, dont order them separately. There is an item on menu that gives you 4 pieces chicken with buttered rice for around 300 than ordering them separately.Remember to tell them to grill more if you need the chicken to be crisper. Coke costs 30rs each for a 250ml bottle.

Offering a host of mostly known Arabian and mughlai dishes, this place is a small take away joint at the phoenix market city mall Pune. However they have a array of biryanisz shawarma, kababs and various gravy and chicken and muttons offerings on the menu. The taste is upto the mark and Biryani is a must try. Also the chicken kababs are a delight as they retain the Perfect juices from the marinate and oils. All in all a good option and recommendation for Arabic food in Phoenix Market City mall.

This place was our old time favorite so visited again after around Two years and was completely disappointed with the food.Had ordered veg combo (fragrant rice, paneer tikka and falafel wrap) and Paneer shawarma. Both were not Up to the mark. Rice just seemed plain jeera rice and panner was just okay. Panner shawarma and falafel wraps both had too much hummus and mayo and lacked good dressings and hence not that tasty.if youre in phoenix mall food court, there are better options available so you can skip this place.

I was just roaming around phoenix mall and wanted to try something new. I came up to this café called “Café Arabia” in phoenix. This is a small café which serves Lebanese food. So, I tried the following from their menu,1. Beetroot Falafel – this were freshly fried and didn’t felt that oil. It was too yummy.2. Fattoush Salad – If you are looking to have something healthy, then I would suggest you go for this salad option. A must have.3. Veg Mezze Platter – the platter can be enough for 2 people. It had 3 falafel, fattoush salad, hummus and pita bread. A must try.A must visit café if you are looking for something new and healthy.I would love to visit the café again and would try new items from their menu.

Cafe Arabia caught our eye in a crowded Phoenix mall on a weekend. The menu looked very interesting with all the Lebanese dishes. I opted for Veg Mezze Platter which had pita breads with zataar, hummus, salad and pickles. Really liked the hummus, pita bread was soft and fresh. We also tried their beetroot falafal. It was freshly fried and piping hot which made it delicious. We also tried their veg salad bowl. The dressing was good with lots of veggies. Overall its a good healthy option if youre looking for a change.

Amazing #MiddleEasternFood at a very pocket friendly price served at a quick service outlet in Phoenix mall. One of the best place to grab a quick bite without compromising on taste while on a shopping spree.They had really quick service even though there was a lot of rush at the outlet. Staff also suggests items from their menu based on your appetite and tells you quantity you can expect.This place is always buzzing with shoppers famished after tiresome walk in the mall, and people just crash here with the shopping bags (#shopaholic)#ZatarChickenSalad is my favorite salad they offer (priced at just 190 INR). Crunchy lettuce, cut onion rings and seasoned bell peppers, loaded with shredded chicken topped with their signature Zatar dressing, finished in black olives and in house mayonnaise.The non-veg mezze platter priced at 325 INR ( #MezzePlatter ) is a meal in itself, can be easily shared amongst two people. Comes with 2 falafel tikkis (found them too oily), shredded chicken strips, hummus, garlic toum, harrisa dip and 2 big pieces of grilled chicken served with zatar rubbed pita bread #PitaBread (you can ask for a whole wheat bread as well).We were full but tempted for more and also ordered the Arabic Grilled Chicken platter (price 215 INR). They have 4 big pieces (wings, breast and leg pieces combination) perfectly marinated in their secret in house marinade served with bread on the side (we ordered the whole wheat flat bread) and it was an amazing finish to the hefty meal to end the frenzy and the shopping spree.Happy Eating - #DalRotiLadka

Cafe Arabia specializes in authentic and perfect Arabian/Lebanese food and they are amazing at it. Restaurant has good seating space in which you can enjoy and really pleasant atmosphere. The staff is friendly and Keen to help you to choose the best from the menu. Portion of the dishes are too generous for amount they are charging.Taste is perfect with correct amount of seasoning and sauces.None are spicy just the way their cuisine should be mild but flavorful.We had:1. Mix grill kebab platter2. Ultimate falafel3. Mix mezze platter4. Chicken shawarma platterMix mezze platter and mix grill kebab platter are highly recommended.i would suggest try baklava here , its tempting and you just cant stop craving it later. #foodphoto #foodphotooftheday #indianfoodie #indianfoodblogger #ramadan2019 #ramadanspecial #hummus #chicken #lebanesecuisine #arabiancuisine #arabicfood #punediaries #punefoodblogger #punefood #zingyzest #therawtextures #falafel #photooftheday #lebanesefood#food #foodlove

The pita shwarma wrap was utter pathetic. Grill chicken had no salt no taste. Waste of time and money experimenting this food joint in phoenix.

Review №11

On the other hand mains like Chhole Bhature, Bheja Masala and Paya curry were disappointing. The chhole was nowhere near the taste of great chhole you can find in Old Delhi, the Bheja masala was cooked in scrambled egg style had a lot of fat so much that it overpowered the taste of the bheja and the paya had little or no meat to it.The cost for two is more than Rs 1000 and with feelings for the food, it doesnt appear to be a great value for buck.

My cravings for delectable hummus and pita got me here! Ive been constantly ordering food from the Kothrud outlet of Arabia, was in Pheonix so thought of paying a visit here.Completely confused what to order as so many options available, I opt to go for the MEZZE PLATTER in nonveg as well as veg for the person with me.The platter consisted of chicken shawarma pieces, fresh of Pita bread, Hummus, falafel, grilled chicken. The whole platter is just perfect for a person, is super tasty and fulfilling. The chicken was well marinated and tender. Loved how whole platter came well together.The veg Mezze Platter had Paneer Shawarma instead of the chicken shawarma.The food court was super crowded, still they managed to keep up with the orders.The service was fast.Presentation was proper.

The shawarma is pretty intense. We were wanting to eat at Marrakesh but then thought if experiencing Cafe Arabia too. My experience here was amazing, the shawarma are too good and the grilled chicken was really good. Average waiting time. Staff was pretty decent, though we went there in the noon the rush was not much. I was pretty baffled with the taste of the food we ordered. It was so good. You should really check out once if you havent yet been there.Please like the review, if this was helpful.

Review №23

You can try this if you are Arabian food lover. Hummus and breads are very close to authentic. Other dishes n sides dishes are very delicious, would surely recommend to try this once when you visit phoenix. Falafal petty was mouth watering. If you take a drink along, that would complete your meal perfectly. A must try place. Similar one is in Pavilion ground floor.

Good Middle East flavours of food culture. Non-veg dishes are popular.Manpower falls short at times during meal timings, especially weekends.Small delays occur as a result. But if you have time at hand, one must try food here.

Nice place to eat out. Its kinda busy all the time but worth the wait. Only thing is that its so punari, its hardly similar to authentic Arabian cuisine. Its very spicy (not the usual kinda hot spicy) but lots of spices... Hardly near authentic. Hammus was a bummer, but the shwarma was nice. The space is hygienic

Ordered a Zaatar chicken salad, but was very very disappointed as it was extremely salty had bitter cucumbers and wilted black lettuce. This is such an easy dish to assemble if you have the right ingredients in front of you. Will never go back to eat here.

One of the best middle east style serving restaurants in town. Although there are many Mediterranean and Lebanese style food outlets in town Cafe Arabia stands apart from all. They are very much focused on what is on their menu. If you love Hummus, Falafels, Salads, and Shawarmas? Then you should not miss out on this place.If youre a vegetarian or a meat lover you have everything here to fulfil your desire. If youre a regular eater of Indian cuisine or something that is called middle east cuisine then you need to get things right in place before you start your orders at Cafe Arabia.Things what we had out here: Open Face Shawarma Platter, Falafel Platter, Shish Kebab Rice, Paneer Shawarma Rice, Al Fahm, Beetroot Spiced Kebab and Medley Veg Grilled Kebab.Ever dish in their menu has something different to offer among which these were some of the dishes which got us some real flavours and taste.Open Face Shawarma Platter: Shawarma style chicken with lightly flavoured spices and medium cooked served with garlic toum, harissa, pickled veggies and not to forget the pita bread. The dish looked and tasted yum. The bread was fresh and tasty. This could easily serve up to 2 people unless you have a huge appetiteFalafel Platter is for vegan lovers. Everything minced and made into kebab and served with different sides to choose from. The way it was served looked so pleasing.Falafel Platter is for vegan lovers. Everything minced and made into kebab and served with different sides to choose from. The way it was served looked so pleasing.Al Fahm: Meat lovers this is something you should never miss out here. Not Indian spiced tandoori chicken but a middle eastern flavored chicken leg grilled to perfect color with juice oozing out on every bite of it.Beetroot Spiced Kebab and Medley Veg Grilled Kebab: If you have seen too much of meat all around the place than vegan lovers these grilled dishes are for you. Both the kebab are made to taste perfect. Not over spiced but something more than enough for you to resist upon. Beetroot spiced kebab has its own different flavor and recommends to taste it when you visit the place.Heavy meals always end with sweet deserts but at Cafe Arabia dont expect it to be too sweet but a twisty sweet dishes.Overall a good place to visit if you wish to get out of those regular Indian style food. You can taste the real middle eastern cuisine here.Food: 4.5/5Ambiance: 3.5/5 ( As its a food court *Food might take away your attention* )Value for Money: 4/5
