SYDNEY’S FIRST MIDDLE EASTERN RESTAURANT
We are proud to be the longest-running and highest quality, Middle Eastern dining experience in Sydney.

Our chefs finishing touches on the Middle Eastern cuisine menu is what has labeled Arabella as the tastiest Middle Eastern Restaurant in the whole of Sydney, Australia.

"REASONABLE PRICES"
The restaurant was exceptional, not only because every meal we enjoyed had a variety of options and was flavorful but also because the prices were so reasonable for an oceanfront lux restaurant!

The food was fresh, properly prepared and a great value for the price. We highly recommend it. The breakfast buffet on Sunday was equally as good.
