Arabica Borough Market

I “thought” that I had had Lebanese “cuisine before but I now realize that I had just had Lebanese “food”. In Houston. This restaurant elevated the quality , of flavor and presentation light years above what one finds in Houston. Thank you (name withheld) for recommending Borough market to us. Monmouth Coffee was packed as was just about every food kiosk. But we came across this quieter sit down place and it was fabulous. Several of the staff were actually Italian and I had a conversation with one that I think. A Roman friend would have enjoyed as he talked about learning to absolutely love the more complex flavor profile of Lebanese or Middle Eastern food after feeling most comfortable with the gorgeous simplicity of Italian cuisine. A learning experience. Another of the Italian staff treated me to a house Negroni, which used ingredients atypical of a Negroni, but with beefeater gin..Highly recommended.

Love it here, have been coming here for years. A great varied menu for veggies / vegans but also lots of meat so there’s something for everyone. Fab drinks, lovely atmosphere. Last night I visited with a couple of friends and Meryem served us - she was great, explained the sharing menu, helped us pick an extra dish and looked after us really well 😎

Came here on a Sunday for lunch with a friend. I have previously seen this place many times walking past it in Borough market so this time I thought I would give it a go since I was craving Middle Eastern food. We had made a reservation beforehand but it was acting quite empty when I got there as there were barely any customers at almost 1pm. Waiter greeted us with a smile and I felt welcome and gave us a table near the entrance. My friend and I decided to share the mezze plates and we went with 5 of them: hummus, baba ghanosh, grilled halloumi, crispy squid and falafel bites. We also ordered the sesame sagnak bread on the side. Everything was so delicious and flavourful so we can't pick our favourites. The hummus was rich and smooth and the baba ghanosh was so tasty and went so well with the sesame bread. Falafels were crispy and the halloumi was sweet with the honey dressing and crispy with a nicely grilled outer layer. Squid batter wasn't thick so we could taste the squid nicely and the sauce that accompanied the squid was so refreshing. Overall, we had a really good experience here: friendly staff, nice vibes, and amazing food. We had an amazing time here and I would highly recommend.

The food at Arabica is stunning and great for sharing with a group of people. This is modern middle eastern food at its best. It’s fantastically situated in Borough market and on the weekend there’s a lively atmosphere. The dips on the meze are delicious. The watermelon and feta and grilled halloumi are the star dishes. The only let down was the service. Our order did not get through and it had to be re-ordered, so we ended up waiting a lot longer before it arrived. Certain items didn’t get ordered and we had to request the bill twice. This was our first time there and I would given it 5 stars if the service had been better.

This is a great low key classy place to grab some really good cocktails. The service was absolutely great and the drinks were very good. The staff were all amazing. I highly recommend checking this place out and staying for a few drinks. I am definitely coming back next time I am in the neighborhood.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Arabica in London Bridge, and had a great experience. We tried a variety of plates and each one was better than the last. My absolute favourite dish was the spiced cauliflower, which was simply out of this world. The combination of spices and the texture of the cauliflower was perfect, and I couldn't get enough of it. The restaurant itself has a lovely atmosphere, with a warm and welcoming decor, great spot for dates. The staff were friendly and attentive, and made sure that we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Overall, I would highly recommend Arabica to anyone looking for delicious, high-quality Middle Eastern cuisine in London Bridge.
