Arabesque

Cold food. Servers and owners do not know how to treat people.

Don't know the last time a restaurant had me addicited like this! Had the luck of being invited to a business lunch here and was blown away by the decor. Once the food arrived I was blown away again as each small plate we ordered. We shared and I tasted a bit of it all, each plate just as good as the last. The super sweet waitress told us about the entertainment on the weekends so I gathered a group this past Sat night. Everyone raved! We were a party of 12 and the staff took such good care of us, even in the midst of it being a busy night. The menu highlights for us included moroccan cigars, different flavored hummus, tuna tartar, mediterranean shrimp and a risotto that was cooked perfectly ( not an easy task). I am not quite sure what the last reviewer is talking about as every thing I read about the restaurant on line is on par with my own experience. As I said in the beginning - Arabesque is addicting!

I ordered the Lamb Shank. It was ice cold and as tough as rubber bands. I complained and they only offered a free drink if I showed up. It was like $27 dollars with the tip delivered and it was medium rare but a very poor quality piece of meat. They should have offered a free meal in the future. There is no excuse for tough lamb.

loved this new restaurant in the heart of murray hill. Fabulous extensive selection of starters there was something for everyone even the pickiest of eaters like me! Food was fresh and yummy and the atmosphere was very cozy.
