Arab

Frommer's Review

Arab not only has one terrific waterfront patio (on Copa beach), but it also serves delicious Middle Eastern cuisine. For lunch the kitchen puts on an excellent kilo buffet, great for trying a variety of dishes. Offerings include tasty salads with chickpeas, lentils, grilled vegetables, and outstanding main dishes such as the roasted chicken with apricots, couscous with cod, grilled lamb kabobs, and piping hot, fresh pita breads. In the evenings, dishes are a la carte. Our favorites include the tray of mezzes (appetizer plates). Perfect for sharing, these plates come with enough munchies for three or four people and include hummus, baba ghanouj, savory pastries with ground beef or lamb, and other finger food. For a main course try the lamb dishes such as the fakhas kharouf, a lamb stew in red wine served with saffron rice and toasted almonds. The couscous dishes with chicken or lamb are also delicious and great for sharing. Desserts are dangerously rich and include sweet pastries made with sugar, rosewater, and almonds or pistachios.
