Summary
Arbab has been a go-to spot for Middle Eastern cuisine, and with their new outpost in Versova, I was eager to see if they lived up to their Bandra reputation. Visiting with my family, I was pleased to find that the restaurant is spacious, offering both smoking and non-smoking sections.
While the service was a bit on the slower side, the staff made up for it with their warm hospitality and insightful recommendations tailored to our preferences. The real highlight, however, was the authentic Lebanese flavors, which transported us straight to the Middle East.
What I tried
Hummus: 5/5
Thick, creamy, and incredibly smooth, this was easily one of the best hummus servings I’ve had in Mumbai. Served with fresh Khubz, it was a delight in every bite.
Khubz/Saj: 5/5
A soft, thin Arabic bread, perfect for wraps. While it pairs well with many things, I personally found it better suited for chicken rather than hummus.
Toshka (Chicken): 5/5
A crispy Lebanese quesadilla, stuffed with flavorful minced chicken and cheese. The perfect balance of crunch and spice.
Lamb Shawarma Platter: 5/5
Juicy, well-spiced lamb shawarma, served with a fresh salad, flavorful dip, and crispy fries. A must-try for lamb lovers.
Spicy Chicken Shawarma Platter: 5/5
A subtly spiced shawarma that is milder than Indian variants but packed with flavor. Served with salad, dip, and fries, making it a well-rounded dish.
Halabi Kebab (Chicken): 5/5
A smoky, juicy minced chicken kebab grilled to perfection. Excellent in both texture and taste.
