Arabica Borough Market Restaurant in London

Reviews

1. Svetl Lana ★★★☆☆

   Great location near London Bridge station, with a lively atmosphere full of pubs and restaurants. Arabica serves a mix of Arabian cuisine — Turkish, Lebanese, Moroccan, and more. We tried the fish tagine, Adana köfte, and baba ghanoush salad, all very tasty. However, they added a charity donation and a £9.80 tip to our bill without asking, which felt like it might have been because we were foreigners.

   Super friendly and accommodating staff. Perfect ambience. Cosy place to sit and eat especially at busy Borough Market. I ordered hummus, the falafel bites, tabbouleh and chicken kebabs. I topped it all off with the chocolate mousse. Even though the tabbouleh and mousse were on the dry side, the food was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend if you’re looking for modernised Middle Eastern cuisine or halal meat.

   Some outstanding dishes here, all with a Lebanese/ Middle Eastern vibe. The beef ribs were succulent and tender and just gorgeous at a reasonable price. The chicken was superb, again very juicy and with a delightful sauce. The falafel bites were crunchy and yummy. I couldn't fault the quality of the food and the service was just right. Overall definitely with a visit and I'm pretty sure the one in Kings Cross is just as fine an establishment. all meat is Halal.

   My group of four visited Arabica in August 2025. We had a reservation, which I highly recommend as it was busy all evening. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and is conveniently located in Borough Market. The menu is extensive, with a great selection of dips, small plates, grills, salads, and sauces. We chose the £48 per person set menu, which offered a fantastic spread of dishes and was excellent value for money. All the food was delicious and the meat was cooked perfectly. The only slight disappointment was the halloumi, which I had been most looking forward to. The service was a bit inconsistent. While it was a lovely gesture to receive a birthday treat, we found ourselves waiting a long time to order drinks. Overall, we had a great time, but I'm not sure I'd rush back.

   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.

   Seasonal. Lots of veg. Lots of goodness. Super vegan /plant-based friendly. We tried the spiced cauliflower, hummus with green zhug, winter tabbloueh and falafel bites with some bread. All delicious and well proportioned. Came away feeling super full but very light! Beautiful open space with lots of air and room. Also reasonably priced considering where it is, it came to about £5 a place for us as we shared. Would definitely come back. Also wonderful staff!!

   Delicious Persian and Middle Eastern food served by friendly and attentive front of house staff. Enjoyed lamb croquette, the freshest crispy squid, delicious halloumi served with a sweet black honey, and juicy grilled baby chicken, but the side of cauliflower is the real highlight, the natural bitterness juxtaposed with charring, the sweetness of plump golden raisins taken to another dimension with honey, and the slight tang of yogurt sharpened by a drop of mild vinegar. It was a multilayered flavour sensation worth eating on its own. Baklava ice cream sandwich to finish was equally excellent. Booking recommended

   I would give 3.5 star but alas you can’t do that on Google. First of all, the staff were extremely friendly and the ambience was wonderful. I enjoyed that. The food was so so. I love middle eastern food and was staying around the corner from Borough Market so was excited to dine here. The hummus doesn’t come with pita bread which I found surprising. The hummus was nice but not the tastiest I’ve had. The mains don’t come with any sides & you have to pay extra for. I probably wouldn’t come back here

   Very good quality food. The place is nice. The only downside was that they told us that there was a 2 hour time limit for the table while we were at the table and not when we booked. Other than that, a lovely experience.
