Arabesk - lebanese food in München

Unfortunately we didn't eat anything, so it's difficult to estimate how it tastes. After about half an hour of waiting we were able to order and after an hour and a half the starter wasn't there yet and then we decided to pay for our drinks and leave. The restaurant was pretty full and you could tell that the waitresses had their hands full - so it would be completely understandable if the table next to us hadn't come after us and eaten before us. My recommendation - Skip this one, fella!

Very nice atmosphere and delicious food. Recommended for visiting. 🤗

One of the best Arabic shops with live music and belly dancers, the food and the price-performance ratio are top notch for Munich and I can't recommend it to anyone

As a Lebanese, I cannot recommend this restaurant. While it is well-branded and has a polished aesthetic, the food is unfortunately below average, especially given the high prices. The flavors are bland and fail to capture the essence of Lebanon’s rich culinary heritage. The price-to-taste ratio simply doesn’t add up. Here are some specific issues I encountered: * Batata Harra: The dish was overly oily, too soggy, and the extreme spiciness overwhelmed the flavors entirely. It needs to be crispier and more balanced. * Hummus: It lacked creaminess and was disappointingly bland. This foundational dish should set the tone for authenticity, but it fell flat. * Kebbe: The kebbe was too dry and tasted far from fresh. * Grilled Meats: Both the texture and flavor were off—the meats were too dry, making them unenjoyable. * Warak enab was too sour and not so fresh. Service could also be improved. The waitstaff were not as friendly or attentive as expected. My arak order was missed entirely, and despite checking the “birthday” option when booking, there was no acknowledgment of the occasion. Overall, while the restaurant may look appealing, the experience left much to be desired. There’s significant room for improvement in both food quality and service.

I have never eaten such delicious food, very nice atmosphere and very friendly staff, thank you again and again...

Best food in Munich, super tasty and very good quality again and again 😍

Very nice restaurant. The food is also highly recommended. Only 4 stars for the service because the starter and main course were served 5 minutes apart. In addition, it took a little longer for the starter to arrive. All in all, highly recommended and the food was delicious!

Very nice owner, super delicious food

Very good food, great location and super nice waiters!

You should remove the word “Fresh Juices” from your menu and write ONLY “Juices” because you don’t offer Fresh Juices. And you should get someone who knows Arabic coffee because if you order Arabic coffee, they will give you coffee beans with water.

The food is fantastic. The atmosphere is loving and stylish. The service still has room for improvement. The ladies were overwhelmed, didn't know where which food belonged, and often got in each other's way. Since I consider this restaurant to be one of the better addresses in Munich, I would strongly recommend that the operator provide additional training for the employees in order to make the experience better for the guest.

It's ok, but as an Arab I wouldn't visit again. The food is delicious and the service is friendly. The portions are filling. However, the minced meat skewer tasted animal-like. The restaurant fits perfectly into the area.

Nice ambience and good service. The food was good too. 👍🏻

Really delicious food! Super friendly hospitality!

A special team day with a great meal at Arabesk! A very nice, clean and well-kept restaurant. The food is authentic and very tasty. We were very impressed by both the starters for social sharing and the great main courses. The portions are generous and the prices are reasonable. The staff was very polite and accommodating. There was seating outside, inside upstairs or downstairs in a nice open space. The rooms have an oriental design and are nice and airy. Absolute recommendation.

Food lukewarm and relatively little. But also relatively expensive. Seemed warmed up. All in all not recommended.

Very good and authentic Lebanese cuisine. We have been coming to this restaurant for years and have never been disappointed. I can only recommend it, especially if you want to spend a nice evening with delicious food and a very nice atmosphere.

I had dinner here yesterday (again) and what can I say, it was, as always, a good decision. The location is beautifully decorated, with great attention to detail. There is a very large selection of different dishes. There is also a wide range for vegetarians. The food was incredibly tasty and very flavorful. The service is nice and courteous and not intrusive in any way, even if you order more over a long period of time.

Great atmosphere with great service and very tasty, healthy and fresh food

The atmosphere is very appealing and the service is absolutely top notch. People kept asking very politely whether everything was OK. The food was excellent and we had a really nice evening (online reservation was absolutely uncomplicated). A clear recommendation and I would be happy to come back at any time.

Was a wonderful experience. The ambience was right, great food and really unique. Super great staff!! Will definitely be repeated and is worth a visit for everyone.

A mega evening. Very nicely and stylishly furnished Friendly staff who will explain everything to you if you don't know the dishes exactly. And the food was excellent, nothing was missing. We'll definitely come back.

Masa Royal (vegetarian) was delicious!

Yesterday we went to the Arabesk Restaurant with friends and loved it! The atmosphere is cozy and authentic, the food is fresh and full of flavor. We were particularly impressed by the lamb and the meze starters. The service was friendly and attentive. One of the best oriental restaurants in the city – we would love to come back!

Top! Very friendly and very tasty...thank you very much

The food is good. However, the hot dishes were almost cold. Service is friendly although they are understaffed and you have to wait quite a long time for your food. What doesn't suit this Arabic restaurant at all is the music. Way too loud and more like bar/disco music.

It was good! Positively surprised. Staff was fast, friendly and attentive We took the big starter plate for our party of nine as an appetizer - it was a great way to engage

It was a very nice evening with very good food. Tried Lebanese cuisine for the first time and were amazed by the variety. Gladly again 👍

Great place to taste the delicious Lebanese cuisine. Super service from the gentleman from Iraq, who takes care of all your needs. Since this restaurant opens for breakfast brunch with Manaqeesh Arabic bread, it has become a very interesting place to eat. Also, the fact that you now can eat at the rez-de-chaussée level and in the summer outside. Offers all kinds of alcoholic beverages, including Arak and Lebanese wine.

The food, the restaurant, and the reception are very elegant, and the food is delicious and tastes of delicious Levantine food

We ate here on a Saturday evening...The ambience was really very appealing, the service was absolutely top, we kept asking if everything was right, the food was perfect, delicious...We didn't miss anything... Later we were "surprised" by a belly dancer, which is probably always on Saturdays... that was also an additional experience, wow!... the only thing that was a bit annoying was the already loud music... Thank you very much, we'll be back.

Very irresponsible service towards couriers🤬🤬😡😡🥱🥱

Very friendly service, delicious food, in a nice and pleasant atmosphere *****

Very nice, except for the moussaka, it did not suit our taste, the taste of the sauce was overwhelming, and their tea was the winner 🥇

The restaurant in the basement is super nice. Unfortunately, if you have to sit upstairs in the small part, it is very loud, too dark and the waiters are very stressed. Had a good experience downstairs, not a second time upstairs!

My mother celebrated her 50th birthday yesterday with her family and friends. The restaurant offers an excellent experience: the food is very tasty and authentic, with lots of flavor and fresh ingredients. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive. The ambience is beautifully decorated. Overall a wonderful place for lovers of Lebanese cuisine. My mother had a wonderful birthday and they even played 2-3 songs so everyone could dance. A big recommendation for everyone👍🏼

Absolutely catastrophic. You can't see your dinner because it's so dark. A bottle of water (0.75) costs 9 EURO!! and the food is mediocre.

Very friendly service, the food was excellent! We would love to come back

Very nice restaurant and super delicious food! Always my pleasure

I can only recommend... very tasty

Inside everything is very authentic and beautifully decorated. The music fits in perfectly and adds even more flair. Owner and service very hospitable and accommodating, and last but not least; the food tastes wonderful!!

The food was very good and the ambience is as you would imagine with the meal. The service was very quick and everyone was very friendly.

Waited 1 hour for food and still the waitress is totally unfriendly and even chews her gum while talking. Portions are very small and the meat is nothing special for the expensive price. If the atmosphere wasn't so nice, it would be the worst restaurant I've ever been to. Not recommended!

wow 🤩 I think the interior and the friendly and quick service make it very pleasant to eat there for hours. The taste is great, you can't complain about anything.

A lovely evening: appealing menu, delicious food, friendly service, cozy interior, prices as usual. There is a hinge garden and indoor seating. We felt comfortable, but the music inside was turned up quite loud for a normal working day and made conversations a little difficult. Tip: Reservations are recommended and in addition to the main courses, you can also try a few meze!

Really great. Starter, main course and dessert wonderful.

Super nice hospitality! Food super delicious! Recommendation: large appetizer platter! We will definitely come back!

There were four of us and we had a very nice evening! Very good wine, great food (just be careful... if you don't like lamb tasting like lamb, you should choose something else) and top service. Gladly again!!

We ordered mixed grill dishes from Arabesk such as shish tawouk, lamb and halabi kafta, with tabbouleh, grape leaves and cheese samosas. The food was incredibly tasty and authentic. For me, Arabesk is the best Arab-Lebanese restaurant in Munich. Ordering through Wolt was great – highly recommended!

Absolutely not to be missed. Exquisite food. Original, expertly cooked and plentiful. The excellent service. The waitresses were wonderful for their kindness and helpfulness

Nice Arabic vibes, food is like 7/10, nice experience, I recommend!

They didn't give us the opportunity to sit outside, and the boss said something rude in Arabic... customer focus is 0!!!

Very nice interior design. Food is okay, good to try. Prices are expensive.

Really delicious food I would definitely recommend

Overall good experience. However food was 4/5. Inside it’s very dark. You barely can’t see the food either. But nice arabesque decor!

A very nice evening here. Celebrated our 4th year with my girlfriend. Very tasty food. Friendly service. I felt very comfortable.

Why are you actually placing us when you obviously don't want to serve us? I've rarely experienced something like that. But don't worry, we won't be coming back.

Swhe pleasant, food tastes good, would go again

Great food, good service and cool ambience! All around, a delicious, lovely evening. We'll definitely be back! Vg

By far the worst meal I have ever eaten in my life. Although I asked the waiter again whether the chicken (from the burger) was pure chicken breast, this 2 cent chicken came from the freezer. Absolutely not recommended!!!!

Very authentic and delicious Lebanese cuisine. Friendly staff and very stylish rooms

Very tasty food and nice atmosphere

The place is quiet and beautiful, and the atmosphere is as if you are sitting in a lounge. Soothing music creates a beautiful romantic atmosphere. What is more beautiful than this is the food is delicious. We ordered a classic mix from them. It comes with hummus, muttabal, olives, and various appetizers. I advise you to eat meat okra with rice, delicious, and we ordered a cup with coffee. After it was delicious, the restaurant wins 👍

Very tasty food and good service! Vegan food is declared and the atmosphere is really nice. We just found it quite cold in the restaurant. Otherwise everything is great!

I’ve visited this amazing place twice, including celebrating my wedding here. The ambiance transports you straight to the heart of Lebanon or Syria, with its authentic oriental atmosphere. The food is absolutely delicious, and the service is top-notch. The staff and the owner are incredibly friendly, making you feel right at home. If you’re looking for great food and good vibes, I highly recommend this place.

Oriental ambience. Large selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes. We had mixed starters and a vegan and a meat dish and were very satisfied. Everything very tasty!

Healthy food from a family source. Very friendly people who know how to treat their guests like kings - we were very satisfied and would love to come back! Thank you very much

The atmosphere is super nice. I was also really impressed that it has existed for 30 or 40 years and has no “outdated atmosphere”. I found it really impressive that the boss could still remember us after months (or was it just a month?). Something like that shows an attitude beyond economic interest. 100% recommendation.

Nice people, very good food! Great location! Perfect as always!

Delicious food, great service. Restaurant owner very kind.

We had starters, bowls and dessert and everything was delicious. The staff is very friendly and attentive. There will be a belly dancer on site on Saturday evening. I can only recommend it.

Never go there the worst staff no respect and no manners

A very clean restaurant, but such a shame The service was very poor

One of the most delicious Arabic restaurants in Munich. I recommend visiting them. The owner of the restaurant is a respectable and sophisticated Iraqi man, may God bless him.

The food is amazing and the service is top quality as long as the atmosphere

Beautifully decorated oriental shop in Schwabing! Great food and lots of variety, also for vegans and vegetarians! We were served very friendly and the food came to the table extremely quickly.

It was a pleasant evening, and kind of cool ambience. Service was fine too. Food was OK, it was good, not amazing, and a bit expensive. Note while reserving, ask for upstairs / ground floor: Most of their tables are in a windowless but nicely decorated basement.

The restaurant is beautiful, the food is delicious, and the prices are high

Beautiful store. From 9 p.m. there was a belly dancer. Food: oh well

Very nice experience, the food is very good (even if I can't say how authentic) and everyone is very friendly. Gladly again

Wanted to go there for lunch. Even though there wasn't much going on, I was consistently ignored by the waitress. I left again after 20 minutes. Sorry guys, that's not how you treat guests. In any case, I won't go there anymore.

Delicious food and friendly service! I'd love to come back.

great fopd, but prepare to pay 8 euros for a 0.7 bottle of water

Frankly speaking, the restaurant is very good and the service is excellent from the employee Madely - I recommend the mixed grill and white rice with vermicelli.

The taste is delicious, very delicious

We were three vegan guests and one person who ordered meat, everything was really delicious and very clearly marked on the menu. The waitresses were also super nice, and since it was one of us's birthday, we all got a free tea at the end. Really highly recommended, and in our opinion, with two starters per person you will be full even without main courses and you will have a bit more choice to try 😊

Really everything is SUPER DELICIOUS! Absolute recommendation!

Service was great they were all lovely and food was goodd and so were the desserts absolutely 10/10😍😍😍

The Arabesk restaurant is highly recommended. The king prawns are a dream, and the dessert is also a delight. I'll definitely come back.

The restaurant is beautiful and the food is delicious, but unfortunately the prices are high and the service is very slow. The meal was delayed by about an hour

Very tasty food with a very cool location. Lebanese cuisine as we know it. I'll definitely come again!!!

I had a terrific meal here a few months ago, a really cool setting with a very nice downstairs setting with beautiful decor. We had a few dishes. Kefta Halabieh, humus, Schisch Tawouk. I would definitely go back and with a bigger group so I can try more dishes.

super delicious food, everything was great!

I cannot recommend this restaurant, the attitude of the gentleman with glasses and no hair is beyond criticism

The price is high, the amount of food is small and not satiating. The price is not suitable for the quality of taste and flavour.

We were there for the first time last night and it was great. The service and the boss were very nice and the food was very tasty. There were also plenty of vegan options, so we would love to come back to try the other dishes too. :)

Atmospheric restaurant with lots of vegan dishes. Service was friendly, but discreetly intrusive with the order, probably so that the tables could be refilled quickly. However, we were dissatisfied with the unseasoned food. Apart from the fact that these were very very very very very very adapted to European tastes and hardly contained any Arabic spices, they were not even salted or peppered. So tasteless. In addition, the dessert, a cornmeal cake that I usually eat elsewhere, was no longer fresh and had most likely been thawed because it had a corresponding aftertaste. It's a shame, it's a shame, but I can neither recommend this place nor visit it again...

Never experienced anything like this! A waiter dropped his bread plate, that happens to everyone. But serving bread from the dirty floor to the guest is a no go! Hygiene is taken into account in this store 0.0. When I mentioned it carefully, it was loudly explained to me that bread is always eaten in the Orient. No matter what condition. That can be all well and good, but then they eat the bread that was on the floor and not the guest who pays for it. This will have consequences for them! That's not how you deal with criticism. How does she treat her guests? Ps.: The waitress who served us was very friendly and helpful. Thank you for your effort.

I love this restaurent, every time I visit Munich I have to dine here. Everything is excellent, sometimes it can get busy but not a big issue. Highly recommended

Very tasty food. Top service! Gladly again!
