“ Arabia was a delight to try. Our food was delicious, service was considerate and prompt, and the setting was pleasant. We'll definitely be returning! I'm glad that there are multiple vegan-friendly entrees in addition to a collection of vegan-friendly mezze appetizers. The online menu and in-house menus are a bit confusing on this point. Some items are marked on both menus with a dairy-free symbol while mentioning feta and other dairy ingredients like a tzatziki sauce. The pita bread is specifically marked as dairy free and as non-dairy free on the in-house menu and is mentioned repeatedly as non-vegan online. When I spoke with our server, she confirmed that the pita is vegan as is normal. We were able to get the tzatziki on the side with our falafel and eggplant fritter dishes. They also have a gluten-free pita available for a small premium. Portion sizes were comfortable given the menu prices. These are reasonable for Seattle, and we two were able to fill up with a mezze medley, an order of falafels, and the eggplant fritters. Everything was delicious, and the plate settings were cute and effective. The falafels were a particular treat, and the eggplant was deliciously melted inside its fried shell. The mojito mocktail was a delicious treat even if it cost 10. We could have done with an extra piece of pita or two, but everything lined up well with a little planning. The restaurant bar may be prominent in the photos, but the atmosphere was calm on a weeknight, and there are several tables available to either side of the bar as well as outdoor tables. Three TVs played a basic scenic loop and didn't distract much. Everything was clean and felt well cared for. Our server and a staff member behind the bar were both considerate, timely with their attention, and able to answer questions about the menu options. We couldn't have asked for a nicer experience and have a great Middle Eastern option in our neighborhood to return to! ”

“ We really loved our meal here! I got the salmon and my husband got the kebab. They were both so delicious! I had already started eating when I thought to take a pic, but you can see it was also a beautiful plate! ”

“ Loved this place! Falafel were great, not crumbly, while the eggplant was wonderfully tender and tasty. Nice selection of tasty cocktails, love the call me rose. Will be back to try more of the vegetarian offerings ”

“ This place is a hidden gem! Everything we've tried here has been delicious - so flavorful, so well-prepared, and a lot of it is sugar- and dairy-free. My favorite was the Lamb Kabsa, never had a lamb dish that good. The cocktails are also excellent - most are really fresh and exciting takes on classic recipes. ”

“ We had an amazing birthday dinner for 14 here. Small family run - the food was 5 star, service 5*, every dish homemade with love, the service attentive and wonderful, the cocktails delicious - felt great to support a small biz and be so well treated. The shrimp kabob, the meze platter, the lentil stew (omg - better than any I’ve ever made - and I make great lentils!), the eggplant fritters, every dish was thoughtful and delicious. Meat lovers were thrilled with their dishes too! Everyone left sated and happy - thank you for such a wonderful experience - excited to come back! ”

“ Such a cozy ambiance, paired with great food and drinks! We had several great dishes at Arabia on our last visit, and the lychee martini was a perfect accompaniment. The salads are spiced just right, as are the meat dishes. I enjoyed the kofta, and others in my party had the tzatziki burger and one of the kebabs. The calamari was a great start as well - not chewy, not fishy, lightly breaded, and brilliant to pair with the tzatziki! There’s a cozy space in the back that would be perfect for happy hour drinks or a girls night out. The restaurant has an upscale ambiance while feeling casual enough to be comfortable. We look forward to our next visit! ”

“ This new place Arabia is a quaint place and I only ordered the Chicken soup and some Greek fries. This looks like it was made with love and best intentions! I'm coming back for the lamb chops but I just had some dental work so meat will wait until I come back! ”

“ Great ambiance and delicious food. This restaurant is new and replaces an older establishment (Vietnamese restaurant) and there is some confusion on Google about its menu. So visit the restaurant’s website for the menu. ”
