Our Story

A Taste of Arabia in Kahatapittiya

At Al-Arabi, we bring the warmth of Arabian hospitality and the rich aromas of Middle Eastern kitchens straight to your table. Every dish is crafted with hand-blended spices, slow-cooked meats, and bread baked fresh throughout the day.

From sizzling shawarma to royal lamb mandi, our recipes carry generations of tradition — served in a cosy, lantern-lit setting that feels like a journey to the heart of Arabia.

  • Authentic hand-ground spices
  • Fresh-baked Arabic bread daily
  • Halal & vegetarian options
