Food was delicious. We tried the baba ganoush taboulleh chicken kabob and crispy shrimp. All were so good. As was the pita bread that came with dinner. Service was attentive and friendly. Would definitely eat here again

Having previously really enjoyed meals at Al Hayat, I brought a party of 7 but was left disappointed. The service was slow and disjointed. No-one looked after us and the attention to detail (a previous strength) was missing. Thankfully, the food remained delicious.

A beautiful representation of the Arabic Cuisine! The richness and depth of flavours were great! A treat for your tastebuds :)) The mezze mix one of the best I have experienced so far.

The food was exceptional, the ambient fantastic and service good. Only thing was that we didn't get our drinks, alcohol and non alcohol, before dinner, to enjoy some alcohol while waiting for the amazing food.

A wonderful restaurant serving Middle Eastern cuisine in the heart of Den Haag. The interiors are well decorated and the staff are courteous. They have a separate area with dining facility for Shisha and offer good decent quality Shisha. We ordered Hummus, Fattoush and Mouttabal for starters and they were flavourful. The bread that came along with was fresh and hot. For the main course we ordered Mousakkah, and although it took them about 30 mins to serve, it was extremely tasty. We ordered Kunafe for dessert and it could not have been better. The portions are decent and the price overall came to approx. €80/- including Turkish coffee, Cola and a glass of red wine. The service was excellent and it is definitely a place to try Middle Eastern cuisine in The Hague.

Don't visit this place ever. Seems it is owned by bunch of amateurs who have no idea what good service means. The restaurant staff is rude and arrogant! If you have any other option, avoid this place by any cost!

Good food and great service! Fantastic value for price with the discount from the Fork. Meat could be just a bit juicier but was still delicious! Tables were spaced far apart for social distancing and generally wait staff were mindful but could be more careful (for their own safety).

Food is great, but was a little late Also the glass facade is right facing a garage entrance where all the time cars with flashing lights make it very uncomfortable while eating
