Reviews For Arabic Flavour

I like unique flavours, and this restaurant has it in spades. Before this restaurant I'd never tried a za'atar spice blend (available as a starter). It's fantastic! The oyster mushroom shawarma is popular for a reason - I especially enjoyed the salad it's served with, and the portion size is pretty good value for money. Lastly, the Portokalopita I had for dessert is more of a Greek flavour, but I greatly enjoyed this sweet orange-y sponge all the same. If you're in Aberystwyth for any length of time, you really have to consider coming here.

We've been here a couple of times in the last few years and it's been consistently excellent. They have an innovative and changing menu drawn from Mediterranean Arabic roots. Very attentive service. The decor has an air of understated sophistication. The place is pristine and spotlessly clean.

Great to go back to Arabic Flavour after an extensive refurb which has transformed the restaurant. The place looks great and has a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. I'd like to say the food is as good as it used to be but it's better. There's a good selection on the menu and the prices are very reasonable. The food is well presented and is a testament to the efforts that have been made to make good quality, authentic dishes. Looking forward to going back again and again, highly recommended.

What a wonderful experience! The meal was exceptional from start to finish - food, drinks, and service. We had a large assortment of items from the starters, mains, and desserts - each one was full of flavor, but not overwhelming or too spicy. Truly great. You can tell the care put into everything that they do here. Highly recommend!

I ate here while staying in Aberystwyth. Found it while googling best places to eat. I have to say, this place was fantastic and far surpassed my expectations! I ordered the Za'atar starter and the beef kebabs on batata. It was all delicious! Really tender and flavourful beef. Great seasoning. The side salad had coriander which was a great detail. And potatoes were flavourful and crisp on the outside. Everyone seemed very pleased at other tables, good music without being too loud. The service was slow but also very little staff for a full restaurant. The server was very very kind and as attentive as she could be given it was just her. Very invested in the experience. I can't say it's the best restaurant in the area as I've only eaten here...but it's very good in general, so I wouldn't be surprised!

We couldn’t recommend Arabic Flavour enough! The food was absolutely stunning — every dish was bursting with flavour and beautifully presented. The setting is gorgeous and the service was warm and personal, which made the whole experience even more special. We were given fantastic recommendations by the owner, and they did not disappoint. The cod roe dip and the aubergine are an absolute must — so full of flavour. The lamb was perfectly cooked and simply incredible. The wine pairing suggestion was also spot on and complemented the meal perfectly. An unforgettable dining experience — we will definitely be back!
