Al-Farid

"My request is not for bliss of the Garden.
I only desire to see You."

"Was that Layla's flame that shone through the veils of night on Dhū-Salam?

Or lightning's flash throughout the vales round Zawra and Al-Alam?

Have you but a sigh of dawn for me, O winds about Na'man?

Have you but a sip to offer me, O waters of Wajra?

O driver of laden camels rolling up the wayless sands

like a scroll of mighty writ beside the Sagebrush of Idam

Turn aside at the guarded safeground -God be your shepherd!- and seek the path"

We absolutely love this place, so much so, we got engaged here last night 💍♥️ The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was just perfect. Our server, Laura, was absolutely lovely, professional, friendly and attentive. The food is just the best in Exeter. Our absolute favourite restaurant and it is just so cozy and beautiful too.

The food was so authentic and delicious. The staff were lovely to the customers and somehow very attentive even though they were spread between 4 floors! The price was high but very reasonable for the high quality of food and service. The shisha lounge was very cosy. The staff working that area were really friendly and helpful when explaining the hookah. Absolutely would recommend for a great evening out!

Visited Friday night with my wife. Restaurant has a great look. The food was tasty, especially the lamb tagine. Only downside was the jug of Sangria, which didn't seem to have much alcohol in it. Would return but next time I would a order a bottle of wine.

Went here yesterday on a whim and got some food to share. Everything was such good quality and so so tasty. Would highly recommend the sharer plates as a great variety to chose from. Also had baklava and tea for dessert. Which was delicious. Staff were friendly and service was fast. Will be going back for sure.

Beautiful food was very delicious and authentic. There was a waitress called georgia there that was amazing very attentive, knew the menu well and gave fantastic recommendations. She suggested the meze for 2 and it was spot on really enjoyed it. Atmosphere was also lovely and liked the decor.
