El Arabe - Bogotá

After trying most of the higher tier Middle Eastern restaurants in Bogota I can say this is my favourite, particularly regarding the cuisine and authenticity of flavours. The lamb is very tasty, slowly cooked to your taste. The classic shawarma are also very good options and they offer an excellent hummus with cauliflower. Service can be improved and waiters need to be more knowledgeable of what the kitchen can prepare, but in general this does not affect the overall experience of the great food. Prices are fair and portions generous. A must try if you enjoy this kind of food.

Excellent Lebanese cuisine with some original dishes ,in trendy area of Bogota. Superb fresh ingredients, five star , fast, professional service, nice décor .

Spent a lot of time in the Middle East and this restaurant satisfied a craving and then some. Excellent food and service, and for the area not too terribly expensive.

When you walk in it has a homey feel to it, and you are immediately greeted by the host. service was quite fast, and the orders were accurate. we had a couple of the hummuses, the babaganoosh, tabouleh, grape leaves, rice with almonds, falafel and they were all good, not one bad dish. for dessert we had the chocolate cake which was good, and the baklava which was sadly horrible... they forgot to add the syrup to it, and so it was just really dry and tasteless..... what a shame to end on a sour note... but we will be back, everything else was really good and the service was great!

I have always ordered home delivery from this restaurant so I can not comment on the atmosphere, ambiance or service. But I can tell you food is very good. It is traditional arabic good and so far everything we have tried is worth mentioning. among other things I recommend the Hummus, Baba Ganoush, Mjadra (rice, lentils and caramelized onions), Kafta, and Berenjenas Rellenas (eggplant stuffed with beef and rice on tomato sauce). Vegetarians also have a choice with a mixed plate or falafel.
