Arbequina Restaurant

Where the rich traditions of Arabic cuisine meets the cutting-edge artistry of modern culinary innovation. We can't wait to meet you.

Arbequina is a labour of love, co-created by Chef Moeen Abuzaid and his wife/business partner. "The Broken English" tells a story of the culinary artistry created by Chef Moeen, the concept behind this experience is a reflection of Chef Moeen's years spent exploring this rich multi-cultural city, building on fourteen years of international experience. His love of cooking deeply founded in his Palestinian-Jordanian roots. Chef Moeen has worked tirelessly to perfect his craft using local ingredients and farm to table style of cuisine, not always focused on the mastery of English, which lent itself to create "The Broken English". His goal is to bring these multifaceted cultural exchanges to life through food; to elevate Arabian cuisine being plated. His style can be described as familiar to the palate but completely re-imagined in its modern technique.
