Discover the Rich Flavours of Arabia at ‘RIWAQA’ Arabic Restaurant Food has a power. It can turn a night into something. A great meal brings people closer especially when it is filled with flavours, warm aromas and dishes made to be shared. Arabic cuisine shows this magic perfectly. With its standing traditions, ingredients, fragrant spices and generous servings Arabic food offers more, than just taste-it offers a feeling. Every dish tells a story. Every bite feels like home. Come experience the heart of Arabia in every flavour. Let the rich aromas take you there. Let the shared tables remind you what real connection tastes like. This is not dining. This is an invitation to feel alive. Arabic food has lot of different options. There is something to satisfy everyone’s taste, whether you like to eat grilled meats, rice based dishes, fresh salads, smooth dips and retire on tasty desserts.Each meal has its own style but they all have one thing,in common:real and tasty flavour. The Arabs love to eat barbecued dishes. Most of the barbecued dishes are made of chicken, mutton and kebabs. First the dishes are marinated in special seasonings and then are barbecued to perfection. There is a smoky taste from the grill which is very gentle. The taste of the seasonings used in the dish bring out the taste of the meat. Arabic rice dishes are another highlight of the cuisine. Mandi and kabsa are perhaps the two most famous dishes that are made with fragrant rice, tender meat and a variety of spices. Great care is taken to ensure that all of the rice grains absorb all of the delicious aroma of the ingredients.When served with perfectly cooked chicken or lamb, it creates a hearty meal that is both comforting and satisfying. While large main dishes are a big part of Arabic cuisine, a host of appetizers and side dishes make for delicious alternatives and enhance the social experience of a meal. A spread of dishes like hummus, baba ganoush, salads, pickles and warm Arabic bread on a meal feel more social.These dishes are meant to be shared,making them ideal when dining with family or friends.This is one of the nicest things I have ever seen at a table: everyone reaching for more bread or for another scoop of hummus. Also of importance to us is the aspect of freshness of ingredients. Even the simplest dishes can be made to taste extraordinary by the simple use of good ingredients. Fresh vegetables, high-quality meat, aromatic herbs and selected spices as well as freshly prepared sauces are important for the taste of our dishes. We believe that food should be prepared with love and care rather than simply served. Dessert is also a part of the meal. Arabic desserts are varied. Feature many sweet treats. These often include nuts, dates and honey. They also have a range of flavours. Arabic restaurants are more than serving food. Our restaurant gives a bit of the Middle East to each table. We hope every customer feels happy and at ease no matter if they come with family or friends. When it comes to finishing the meal Arabic desserts take it to the next level with tasty mixes of dates, nuts, honey and strong tastes. After dinner it is customary to be served a variety of sweets accompanied by coffee or tea. Restaurant memorable is the complete experience. The smell of the grilled food, the atmosphere of the restaurant and the sounds of people dining around you, the taste of the seasoned rice and finally the joy of sharing a meal with people you care about.

Where Arabia Comes Alive on Every Plate Sometimes you go into a restaurant because you are hungry. Times you go in and right away you feel that you have found a special place. That is what we want people to feel when they will get into our restaurant. The first thing you might notice is the smell. The smell of food that is cooked fresh like mandi, meat that is grilled bread that’s warm and spices that are mixed carefully fills the air. There is something about it. Before the food even gets to your table your appetite is already there. Arabic food is not just about the smell or the taste. It is about the feeling too. Food Brings People Together One of the things we love most about cuisine is that it is made for sharing. Imagine a table filled with mandi, shawarma, hummus, grilled chicken, fresh salads, sauces and warm bread. No one really sits quietly with their plate for long. Someone reaches for the hummus someone else asks for another piece of bread. Soon everyone is talking about which dish they like best. That is what makes a meal special. Whether it is a family dinner a meal with friends or a special celebration Middle Eastern food has a way of bringing everyone closer to the table. Honestly some of the best talks happen over a good plate of food. The Flavour of Tradition Arabic food has a kind of richness. It does not always need ingredients. Often it is the things—the quality of the meat the freshness of the ingredients the fragrance of the rice and the right balance of spices—that make a dish stand out. Mandi is an example. The fragrant rice and tender meat come together with a gentle blend of spices that gives every bite its own character. Then there are the grilled dishes, with their flavor and strong smell. Hummus adds something comforting while fresh salads and sauces bring a lighter touch to the meal. Spices such as cardamom, cumin, cinnamon, cloves, saffron and black pepper quietly bring everything together. You can taste the tradition without it feeling too hard to understand. A Warm Welcome Matters course good food is only part of the experience. For us being taht friendly and welcoming is very important. We want you to feel comfortable when you walk through the door. Whether you are visiting for the time or coming back for your favorite dish you should feel welcome. Maybe it is a greeting from the people who work here. Maybe it is getting your table. Maybe it is someone checking whether everything is okay without interrupting your talk. These small things might seem tiny. They are often what people remember. A restaurant should not feel like a place where you just order, eat and go. It should feel like somewhere you can relax, talk, laugh and take your time. Then Comes Dessert There is always space for dessert especially when it is dessert. Baklava, kunafa dates, nuts, honey and other traditional sweet treats bring a different side of Arabic cuisine to the table. The crispy layers of baklava the richness of kunafa the sweetness of dates and the smell of coffee make a beautiful end to the meal. It is the kind of ending that makes you say “I probably shouldn’t have ordered dessert.” Then take another bite anyway.  More Than an Arabic Restaurant At the end of the day we believe that a restaurant is about more than food. It is about the people sitting around the table. It is about families having dinner friends meeting after a long day someone finding their new favorite Arabic dish and those unexpected talks that go on longer than planned. We want every plate to have a bit of Arabian tradition but we also want every guest to make their own memories here. So whether you are looking for Arabic food want a comforting plate of mandi meet friends for shawarma or just need a nice place to eat we hope you find more, than just a meal. Come for the flavors. Stay for the warmth.. Leave with a little taste of Arabia—and hopefully a reason to come back.

From Arabian Traditions, to Your Table  There are some places you go to because you are hungry. And then there are places that we tend to forget the reason we went to in the first place. An Arabic restaurant is such a place where you are enveloped with the aromas of spices, you receive hospitality and get to devour rich food that you remember long after you had your fill. First of all, you will be able to smell the restaurant from outside. The aroma of freshly grilled meat, freshly baked bread, fragrant rice and spices such as cardamom and saffron and many other Arabic spices will fill the air and will make you want to go in. Where Tradition Meets the Table  The beautiful Arabic cuisine, bringing families and friends together at a table to be shared with all. As opposed to being served on a plate in front of one person.A large platter of mandi, a bowl of creamy hummus, smoky grilled meats, warm pita bread and delicious shawarma can turn an ordinary meal into a fun sharing experience.Regardless of the variety of dishes chosen for the occasion, inevitably each person will be drawn to something different, they will start to chat, and the meal will quickly become the focal point of your occasion. That is what makes Arabic food special. It is not only made from a list of recipes, it is sharing.  The Flavours Tell a Story  Every dish has its own personality. The soft, fragrant rice of mandi is infused with the gentle warmth of various spices while the grilled meats of shawarma are full of smoky flavors and smooth, comforting hummus balances things out nicely while the fresh salads and sauces add a lot of brightness to the table. A variety of spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, cumin, cloves, saffron and black pepper are used individually and in combination to provide deep flavors without intensity. The authentic Arabic cuisine doesn’t need to shout loud; it lets the foods speak!. Every single traditional dish also has a story behind it: a family recipe, a local tradition or even a certain method of preparation that is being passed on from generation to generation. You can taste history in every single bite. Hospitality Is Part of the Experience  There’s another crucial ingredient that cannot be measured in grams or teaspoons: Hospitality.  Arabic hospitality is part of the culture and can be brought to the table. A simple smile from members of staff, a smile from staff and a warm welcome can make all the difference to a dining experience. A staff member checking that everything is “OK” can make all the difference.  Guests are never strangers. Whether you come with the whole family, meet friends after a long week or want to celebrate something special or simply need something wholesome, everyone is always welcome.  Sometimes the most memorable restaurant is not the most expensive. Sometimes the simplest interior is the best and it is how you get treated that matters.  Don’t Forget Dessert  No Arabic meal is complete without dessert for a feast! Traditional Arabic sweets are sweet enough to eat for dessert, vary in texture and are mostly made with traditional Arabic dates, honey, pistachios and other fruits and nuts. There’s Baklava with layers of flaky pastry and nuts, and then there’s kunafa with its smooth, creamy cheese fillings. We want each dish to reflect Arabic culture and for every guest to feel special in our restaurant. Families should be able to come and have memorable times together at our tables. Friends should stay longer than they expect at our restaurant, and new guests should want to come back as soon as possible to try more dishes.
