Arabella in Wijk 01 West

The food is Moroccan, but not repetitive, to be honest.

This afternoon we dined at this Moroccan restaurant with a large group. We had prearranged the dishes beforehand. Several tables were set up for us, so everyone could be seated. Several large platters were placed in the center; they looked delicious. First, we were surprised by a delicious soup. Then we received a large spring roll filled with vegetables—delicious! Time to enjoy what they had prepared for us on the platters: couscous with chicken and pasta with tuna, and vegetarian dishes consisting of "???" balls with a white "???" mousse and olive pesto. Even though I didn't know exactly what I was eating, it was delicious. The service was very attentive and friendly. It was nice to try Moroccan food for once. And the flavors clearly invited me back, especially after browsing the menu. See you next time!

My first time with Arabella was fantastic!

We had a wonderful meal at Arabella restaurant today! The food was delicious and fresh! Your service was top-notch, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and nothing was too much trouble! Highly recommended! We'd love to come back, and thank you for everything!

Delicious food, friendly staff, well helped, will definitely come back here

Delicious meat, nice atmosphere, friendly people, highly recommended

What lovely people who really think along with you. Very customer friendly. We had a large group with some specific wishes but everyone thought along and even the owner called personally to see if everything was okay.

Good food and drinks! Nice atmosphere. Good staff. Everything top!

Nice atmosphere, good food, nice experience

Very tasty food and a great atmosphere inside

Very very bad food! For me never again. Too bad I expected more from such a restaurant.

As always a nice atmosphere, good food. We will definitely come back

I have been visiting Arabella for a long time. The staff is friendly, the food is delicious and there is a nice atmosphere. Arabella is definitely recommended for a delicious bite to eat.

Another delicious meal, cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. Top...

Halal, very tasty food. Much more than expected.

Really good food and service, thank you 🥰

The grilled meat was very tasty and the service came with a smile!

It was good food, but the dishes outside the Moroccan cuisine. The rest of the starter (harira) was not well prepared. And the restaurant was very small, you could hear the conversations from the tables next to you. I wouldn't advise eating there, it was a real disappointment.

service was top, friendly employees, food was delicious, adhaan was delivered on time, dates everything was there, in general top and good experience

Staff was super sweet and service was great. Just a pity that the chicken fillet was burnt!

Finally a restaurant in Utrecht that meets all the needs of a good culinary restaurant; - Delicious food with buffet, - proactive operation - Serenity and no chaos when fasting, - serenity; no music but quiet nasheed, - and most important, good price-quality ratio InshaAllah we will return this month with a larger group of family

Wonderfully tender meat, well seasoned and friendly service. Recommended!

Delicious food at Arabella, highly recommended!

I recently enjoyed a delicious dinner at Arabella in Utrecht. Upon entering we were warmly welcomed by the friendly staff, which immediately created a warm and inviting atmosphere. The menu offers an extensive selection of authentic Moroccan dishes. We chose the tagines, which were rich in flavor and perfectly prepared. The freshness of the ingredients was clearly noticeable, and the presentation of the dishes was neat and attractive. The service was excellent; the staff was attentive and open to questions and special requests. The ambiance of the restaurant is cozy and atmospheric, without disturbing background music, which contributes to a relaxing dining experience. All in all, our visit to Arabella was a very positive experience. This restaurant is definitely recommended for lovers of Moroccan cuisine.

Delicious food. Top service, more than friendly owner and skilled chef. 5 stars more than deserved! Ps. Family-friendly and best of all: no noise through the speakers, but soothing sound at the right volume level. In short, I go more often In sha Allah.

Ate at Arabella for the 2nd time. Unfortunately, we were disappointed this time. We were in a group of 6. The food was served little by little. Which made the rice cold. And the fries didn't come at the same time either. Drinks came to the table bottle by bottle. People probably don't work with trays or anything like that. Staff is young and inexperienced. Clearly needs guidance. Finished off with coffee and tea afterwards. Berred tea was not possible. Again, loose glasses and cups were brought to the table one by one. Arabella is a nice restaurant with a tasty menu. But there are major points of attention!

After a visit to the Beatrix theater, we had a delicious meal here.

top food friendly highly recommended

Top restaurant!! In my opinion they score high in everything. The food was perfect in both quality and quantity! I would also like to give them a full score of 5 stars for the service and atmosphere. If you want delicious Moroccan food then this is the place to be!.

Delicious food yesterday and good fast service, we will visit again soon, our spot in Utrecht!

Great tent! Definitely recommended

Food was delicious and a very nice atmosphere.

Delicious food, nice atmosphere and good service! Worth repeating.

Best Spareribs Ever! So tender, so delicious! Tasty sauce everything was tasty! Harrira and the salad pff really tasty everything was great! Greetings from Sittard!

Very friendly and helpful. The food is delicious and tasty. It is very cozy and a nice atmosphere together with the wife and her child. See you soon and see you soon see you soon.

At the beginning that ministry was . We were there with a group of 9 people and some wanted dessert and some did not. There was a young girl who couldn't arrange it and brought quite a few wrong desserts to us, which of course we didn't want and she didn't like that at all and she showed that.

Price-quality ratio is not quite right. Too expensive for what you get. You eat for 20€ but you're just not full. The restaurant could also be better decorated and a staircase at the entrance is not convenient and can be dangerous. Drink bottles should be better opened at the customer's table, and the meat of the super burger should have been cooked more. Staff is friendly.

The food was delicious, only the rice was a bit dry. Service was good and people were friendly

I had a burger with fries and it was delicious, fries were nice and crispy and the burger had tasty bread

It was really delicious! 10/10 pastry also delicious! Staff was very quick recently it was busy & very enthusiastic and nice! Definitely recommended and we will definitely come back.

Very good service and tasty food. Thanks :)

I really love it! Nice staff and nice food!

Mashallah beautiful restaurant and perfect staff and the food is great, definitely recommended

Tasted deliciously, friendly staff and also shares their honest opinion about the food. Highly recommended🤍

Delicious food and best service

Today we were in Utrecht with my sister and her 2 daughters in this great restaurant in the whole of the Netherlands! We have never been welcomed so warmly in a restaurant! You will be greeted with Salaamu Aleykum WarahmatulaALLAAH Wabarakaatu🥰🥰🥰! MaashaALLAAH we are completely sold ☺️! But the name of the restaurant is also very nice maashaALLAAH! The employees were so friendly and helpful maashaALLAAH! You will be helped very quickly, but food will also be served very quickly, what else can I tell you🤷🏽‍♀️?! In Shaa ALLAAH when we come back to Utrecht we will eat there again! It is recommended to eat there! Worth it duz🤤🤤🤤!

You keep coming back and the staff always thinks along.

Top restaurant, always delicious food!

Delicious food and staff have a smile on their faces. Had a nice evening.

Super cozy and warm atmosphere! The food was delicious and wide choice on the menu.

Delicious food!! Definitely worth repeating!

The food was delicious from now on as our regular spot. Service is incredibly good!

Even though it is my uncle's restaurant it is the best restaurant

Too bad about the Coca Cola company support in the business.... I expected more effort from Arabella in terms of boycott.

The restaurant was almost empty when we arrived. The service was fast by a friendly lady. We ordered harrira, Moroccan tea and tapas. The tapas tasted great, although the couscous/bulgur had no taste at all. The harrira should not be called harrira; that's a shame about the name. It was a watery thing with some tomato, no salt and no content whatsoever. It looked like a bag of tomato soup made with way too much water: a shame and a waste of money. The tea did not taste like Moroccan mint tea; it was a tea bag with exactly 2 leaves of mint: should not be called mint tea. The bottles of water and lemonade were not opened next to our table but behind. So we don't know where the bottles came from or whether the bottles were filled with tap water or lemonade from a carton. The lady (suddenly a different, less friendly waitress) came and brought the bottles into her hand (are there no trays?); Also, her clothes and loose hair were NOT appropriate for a restaurant (nice loose hair in your soup). The main courses were fine, but not spectacular or special and not specifically Moroccan. The plates were again served without a tray or something and the fries only came after I had to ask for them. Furthermore, the restaurant was very dark; not very pleasant. So as far as we are concerned, it is not worth repeating. If you have a Moroccan restaurant, serve good Moroccan dishes. Otherwise I'd rather not.

The place is small but is nice and cozy but the service is the best service I have had in a restaurant. The food is very good the tenderloin was cooked perfectly

My recent visit to Arabella in was unfortunately a disappointing experience. I had high expectations, but unfortunately they were not met. I ordered the tenderloin, which according to the menu would be served with grilled vegetables. Much to my disappointment, the grilled vegetables were missing. The fries that were served with it were limp and tasteless, which made the whole thing even less appealing. When we asked the waitress about the missing grilled vegetables, we were told that the menu still needed to be updated and that they no longer serve them. I found this a very disappointing response; it is misleading to mention something on the menu that is not served. Unfortunately, my experience at Arabella was not what I had hoped for. The quality of the food was substandard and the service left much to be desired. I hope the restaurant takes this feedback to heart and makes the necessary improvements. However, at this point I wouldn't recommend it.

Very nice place to have a nice meal with your family. Service is friendly, food is tasty and there is a nice atmosphere. A favorite place for our family to eat.

An excellent Lamb tangine which keeps bringing me back here. Service was courteous and professional and my food came very quickly.

My go to when I visit Utrecht. Delicious food. Have tried everything on the menu and have never been disappointed. Atmosphere and service at its best 👌

Good service but the tagine was anything but tasty. The worst Tagine I've ever had. Shame! The burger was tasty and the place is neat and clean.

The food was really delicious, never eaten anywhere so good in Utrecht! Delicious grill dishes, everything is super fresh, really quality! And staff is the very best very polite

What wonderful service and wonderful staff, we had a very delicious meal there today Price was great We will definitely come here more often It is highly recommended for those who want good food, especially those Spare Ribs

Tagine Arabella chosen. According to the menu it should be: 'Lamb, candied onions, plums and almonds'. After waiting half an hour you get a completely different microwave meal, without onions, prunes or almonds. After indicating, an attempt will be made to sprinkle missing ingredients on your plate afterwards, uncooked. On the spot the cook is ridiculed, who is said to be new. If I had time to eat somewhere else I would have walked away. The atmosphere and service are not bad, but the food is substandard.

Delicious food, but I am mainly writing this review because of the service. Narjis helped me so much. Super sweet and friendly girl, just how it should be! Because of her service, I will definitely come back. (If the owner also reads this, Narjis deserves a flower!!)

Fantastic food, everything was great and fresh. Had super nice service. The atmosphere could be a little warmer and more attractive, but this did not affect our pleasant and tasteful evening.

We regularly eat at Arabella. Recently went with a colleague, we have been there for a long time. Enjoyed spare ribs, Moroccan tea, cappuccino and delicious pastries. Recommended!

The food I received was downright terrible. Not only were the ribs ridiculously expensive, but they were also covered in ketchup, which only made the taste worse. And if that wasn't enough, I got stomach cramps for a week after eating it. This restaurant should seriously consider closing their doors if they continue this way. It is not only an embarrassment to the culinary world, but also a danger to public health. “And let's make no bones about it: I know very well where I ate, and the spare ribs did not cost 22 euros, as stated on your menu. Just look at my receipt. And no, it's not like I have the wrong address. It is Arabella Moskeeplein 86, in the corner. Please let's talk about the content. The spareribs were cold and covered in nasty ketchup. As an avid sparerib lover, I have never eaten such bad and expensive spareribs.”

Went here for dinner with a group. Good service and excellent food. Price a bit too high, but understandable given the crowds.

Terrible, almost 40 euros pp paid for Ramadan buffet (drinks and dessert not included). It doesn't even say on the site that there would be a Ramadan buffet so we assumed a normal menu, but still gave it the benefit of the doubt. The food was just a 2 star hotel buffet, a few types of meat with rice and something else. It was also cold and you had to queue to get it yourself 0 service. Of course you paid nicely, but you can't do this, I wouldn't recommend anyone to eat here, at least during Ramadan. Shame

I am very disappointed! We had made a reservation for iftar with high expectations, but we were told that there is no menu but a fixed 'open buffet' without drinks and dessert. This was not stated on the site and was not mentioned when booking by telephone. In addition, there was no service and you had to stand in a very tight line to get your own cold food where you also have very little choice. And all this for almost 38 euros per person! Unfortunately, we will never come here for iftar again.

Great dinner in an modern but authentic moroccan atmosphere - fantastic meat dishes, in particular lamb. An experience that I strongly recommend.

Delicious food! We sat comfortably and had a nice evening meal and dessert.

Cozy and atmospheric restaurant with very friendly service and delicious food!

Food was delicious, and service was fast

Delicious food and great staff! The cheesecakes for dessert are highly recommended!

There is really nothing to complain about, the atmosphere is very chill, the food is tasty and for a good price and the staff is very friendly

Top food & friendly service definitely recommended

For 155 euros I expected more. Appetizer Spring rolls was okay! Harira was okay too! 3 different Tapas good! Main dish Adana too spicy. Spareribs half undercooked. Hamburgers Beef, come on, you throw sauce in it and think that everyone likes andalucia sauce. One of the waitress is incredibly slow to understand, you explain something about a hamburger without andalucia sauce but with ketchup and she is staring at you like a statue and what do you get andalucia sauce in it. For some, service is not possible, it is not a catwalk and you are sitting there with your family. Too bad about this!!

Friendly staff and very tasty food for a good price! They also have very tasty cakes. Highly recommended :)

Super friendly service! Food was top notch and nice and pleasant atmosphere.

Went to Arabella's last night. Everything was great! Good service, good food and hard workers. The spareribs are highly recommended! We will definitely come back.

After hearing many good things about Arabella, including on social media. Last Tuesday I thought I would go out for a nice meal. We entered and were well received. Until we went to order our food. It says Entrecote on the menu. So we are asked if we have been able to make a choice and we order the Entrecote with Fries and Rib eye! The waitress asks us what a sirloin steak is... and what it looks like?? A bit unusual but khair. The waitress came back after about 10 minutes to say that they had no sirloin steak and we had to choose something else. Then we waited 20 minutes for our food, my rice was cold and dry and very little on a small dessert plate. We ordered two Rib eye menus and both chose Medium fried. The meat was tough and very hard, difficult to cut through even with a steak knife. It had probably been there for a while because it was cold again after 5-10. The salad was also dry and there was no sauce with the meat. Very unfortunate and a shame because otherwise the staff was nice. Wouldn't recommend it to others

Whether you are in Morocco yourself

Very average food, the Tajine was under cooked and the steak was very hard!

We had dinner at Arabella today. We were 12 people. Unfortunately, the food was very bad. Food was cold, the food performed poorly, it really did not look hygienic. Raw tenderloin, one of our children vomited after eating and had a stomach ache. Never again Arabella for us!!!!!

Super lief personeel en heerlijk eten Allahuma bareek!!!!

Very good reception and delicious tagine

Arabella is a great restaurant that serves delicious, fresh food. I had their mix steak, which is definitely a recommendation. The restaurant itself looks neat and just large enough to fit 50-60 people. Prices are reasonable for the quality and the staff is really friendly and polite. Arabella is a great match for muslims looking for a muslim-friendly restaurant. All the dishes they serve are halal and they do not serve alcohol. Sometimes nasheed is played on the background, however they also play music.

Nice Restaurant at Uitrecht central...We had a nice team outing in the eve. Food taste was really good.

Very tasty!!!! Perfect operation!
