Arabesque

Arabesque on Devine is one of our favorite restaurants in Columbia. There is just nothing else like it in town! And even though it’s on popular Devine Street and just next to Za’s, it still remains a hidden gem after all these years. Similar to Il Giorgione!

For the perfect Lebanese dinner in Columbia, you can get an entree (shawarma plate, gyro plate, eggplant parm, etc.), meat skewers from the grill with 2 sides or individual meat skewers. Meat options include kafta, tenderloin, chicken, lamb kabob and New Zealand lamb chops. You can also get a mixed grill platter (chicken, kafta, tenderloin and shimp) for 1, 2 or 6 people. This is a great option if you want to try several types of meat.

They also have a vegetarian/vegan skewer from the grill with zucchini, tomatoes, onions and pepper. Speaking of vegan food, they have a few vegan options including a falafel platter and mujudara (rice and lentils.)

If you are looking more for a platter, we highly recommend the shawarma plate with their tahini sauce. It comes with hummus, potato cubes and one additional side of your choice. Check their full menu for all the details.

Arabesque on Devine has a large parking lot out front that is shared with Za’s. It can fill up at certain times but overall you shouldn’t have an issue finding a parking spot.
