Ismail Cucina Araba - ALESSANDRIA

We just discovered this restaurant in the search for Arabic food in the area and were more than satisfied by our experience. The environment is like leaving Alexandria at the door and entering a vacation place in Cairo or Marrakesh... was exactly what we were looking for, a place different from the usual local catering offers but the authenticity of both space and food exceeded our expectations. Coming from Tortona, where the international and decidedly limited choice we will definitely return to try other dishes of the menu. We were welcomed with kindness and professionalism by the owner, who prepares all the dishes himself. My daughter, who always struggles to eat (has 6 years old) never wanted to try dishes except Italian cuisine... this time instead she was very excited to discover the food prepared by Ismail and today asked us to return soon.

Very nice local, great food, friendly owner. To be sure to try the other menu proposals.

Who wants a trip between Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria without leaving, has only to book a Council table on pillows to fully experience the magical atmospheres Ismail is a perfect host, attentive to needs or allergies, is hospitable and very prepared One only warning: his kitchen addicts, tried once you can no longer do without it

Good morning, everyone. We assume that my review will not make a difference, but I feel compelled to do it after the very bad experience spent inside this place. I would like to go straight to the point: We enter the place in question, all quiet, now to order we ask for the hooker (price 14€ and we were told that the minimum consummation was 4€, at this point we try to order 3 dishes (we were 4 because our friend was not well and did not feel to eat anything, despite this we were treated badly and almost teased by the owner who told us the following phrase “you came here by voghera”. I point out that both on the internet and in the menu there was not specified that the hooker would not affect the minimum price of consumption. That said, as if it wasn't enough before the owner immediately warmed up telling us that we didn't understand anything. Finally, we will never return to this place again. Unconscious.

I love the cuisine of the Maghreb and Middle Eastern countries in general and this restaurant was a real revelation. Very pleasant dinner with my daughter and my son-in-law, during which we enjoyed the courteous welcome of the owner, discreet and very kind. Environment perhaps an excessive pinch, certainly very evocative, good food, very pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. Great value for money. I'll come back. Definitely to recommend.
