Arabesque: Friendly, Sumptuous Egyptian Cuisine
This restaurant has delicious, authentic Egyptian cuisine. The head waiter (maitre d'), Tarek Zaki, is extremely helpful, carefully explaining how each dish is made. His description for every dish was perfect and our entire group (10 people) enjoyed every dish. Tarek also has a wonderful sense of humor and regaled us with stories of his home & family. Molokiah (spelling?) is an Egyptian dish made of a spinach-like vegetable which is chopped and then cooked in a broth. The molokiah is then served in a soup-like fashion. With it comes rice and a juicy broiled chicken. The guest is then instructed to add the rice and chicken into the molokiah and top with sour cream and other condiments. Absolutely fantastic!
