Our dearly beloved bare brick Victorian railway arch is a short walk from London Bridge, in the heart of Borough Market - where our journey started way back in the early noughties as 'Market Traders'. Join us at the polished concrete bar to watch our chefs at work and linger over a Levantine inspired cocktail, or hunker down for a Middle Eastern style feast.
The restaurant is housed in a ground floor corner of the Limestone clad Aga Khan Centre building, designed by world renowned, Pritzker prize-winning architect Fumihiko Maki. A stones throw from Coal Drops Yard and Granary Square, Kings Cross, the outside terrace faces the grassy meadow of Lewis Cubitt Walk and the hotly anticipated Persian-inspired Jellicoe Gardens by award winning landscape architect Tom Stuart-Smith.

James started out at Borough Market, armed with little more than a cool box nearly 20 years ago, selling a small range of Middle-eastern meze and Lebanese street food from an 8 foot trestle table. Determined not to lose touch with our market roots, we continue to showcase a plethora of fresh dips, salads, savoury Mediterranean pastries, baklava and Turkish delights on market days from a stall next to Arabica Bar and Kitchen, in Jubilee place.

Brought a Shawarma wrap and all I can say is that this place should not be labeled as Middle-Eastern. The wrap was extremely bland, and the flavours were completely wrong (Wrongly seasoned for a shawarma). If you’re used to Middle-Eastern cuisine then this place would be an insult to your palate. Stay well clear

Food was very good although the service was a little bit pushy -i understand that each booking has a maximum of 2 hours but the waitress was being also pushy even though we were the ones waiting to pay! Also they brought all the mezze/tapas too fast so some of them got cold by the time we could eat them.l :(

We visited Arabica in Borough Market and cannot recommend highly enough. They very kindly held our table for us as we got stuck in traffic coming in. The food was delicious (best hummus I’ve ever had!) and the service was fantastic. Our waitress was brilliant. Will definitely come back next time in London. Thanks, everyone!

Bad online customer service - I saw their adverts on Facebook for the Baklava trays and wanted to make a large order for Eid to give out as gifts. Their website didn’t show or give any details on what baklava was included in each tray so I sent a message on Facebook, which went answered and then after a few days I called the number listed on their… Facebook account to get more information. It was answered by a someone from their borough market branch that kept explaining that they were based in a market and he wasn’t sure about online orders. They were very brash and dismissed

Yesterday my son and I were having lunch here when the London Bridge terror incident happened and we had to abandon our lunch to run upstairs out of potential harms way. I would like to commend the staff of the… restaurant on the extremely professional way in which they managed the situation and put their customers first, reassuring us all the way. We had had enough of our lunch to be able to say that the food and service was excellent. We hope to be back again soon. Thank you to all staff at Arabica at Borough.
