I ordered through Grab, and the sauce and salad were spilled everywhere. The sauce got mixed with the rice, which wasnβt cooked properly. The meat portion mostly consisted of skin and was very tough.

those who have had authentic Yemeni mandi would know that this is not mandi at all. more like briyani rice with chicken curry and lamb shank curry. was quite disappointed as there were many positive reviews. will not come again. maybe the other dishes would be nicer..? also quite pricey - for the chicken mandi and lamb shank mandi was $29 altogether.. no choice of quarter chicken, have to buy half chicken, which i think is too big a portion for one pax

I had a good experience at Arabica Kebab in Marsiling Mall. The food was generally tasty, especially the beef, which was well-seasoned. The pita was fresh and paired nicely with the mayo, which added a good flavor. The fries, however, were a bit too soft for my likingβcould have been better with a bit more crisp. Did not like chicken though. One thing I would suggest is adding garlic sauce to their menu; it would really elevate the flavors. Overall, a solid spot for a quick and satisfying meal.

This is an amazing kebab place. Everything is delicious and real deal. They just opened Arabica Grill just behind this outlet and it's equally amazing. If you are in mood of good Arabic food, no better place in Woodlands than this.

Arabica Kebab is located in Marsiling Mall Hawker Centre, stall #01-38.
Price: $8.00 (Mixed Burrito)
The ingredients of the mixed burrito includes minced beef, chicken, tomatoes, rice, raw onions, a spicy sauce and a tangy yoghurt sauce.
The mixed burrito was packed to the brim with chicken and beef and I was really pleasantly surprised they gave so much. The burrito is then slightly grilled before being served.
Service was very fast and I didnβt have to wait long for my mixed burrito as it was assembled, placed onto the grill for a quick sear before arriving piping hot in my hands.
Really delicious and filling and not something you find very often at hawker centre so if you are craving a good burrito and in the area do check out this stall!

Ordered via grab food and its so goood. My lamb mandi was still warm when it arrived. The lamb shank was super tender and juicyyyy!!! First time to try knafeh and its was so yummy too, crispy outside but soft cheese inside π― Will try the quesadillas next time as Iβve been reading a lot of positive reviews on it. π€€

Excellent chicken kebab with rice. The portion is also very huge.

Love their chicken kebab - it was well-marinated, tender and succulent. It complements well with their briyani rice, which is flavourful and well-cooked. The tomato-like sauce is a cherry on top for the rice as it enhances the burst of flavours. This stall has a high CP value too - this is almost restaurant-like standards for a price of only $8+. Would 10/10 be back again - definitely worth travelling down to Marsiling for itπ―

Hidden gem here in Woodlands. Great tasting middle eastern food at less than half the price of those restaurants at Arab street. Everything was flavourful, juicy, and with just the right texture. We had the Lamb Mandi, Chicken Quesadillas, and Kunafe - all were amazing. Portion sizes were HUGE too. Highly recommended.

Ate the mixed kebab and i must say that it is the best kebab i have ever eaten in my life. Had this quite a while back (~3 months ago), and i think about eating this every now and then! The meats are so juicy and tender, moisture is locked into the meats unlike some other kebabs sold by other stalls that have dry, stringy meat. Seasoning is so good as well. Will definitely come back here again to try their other dishes
Leonard Lim
Amazing beef Quesadilla stuffed generously with juicy tasty and tender beef. 5π well balanced with the onions and tomatoes and cheese.
The chicken kebab is very good as well and chock-full with freshly carved chicken and vegetables.
Friendly stall owner with a great smile and service too!
Nurul Afifah
The chicken pita was a 5/5. The pita was made fresh in the oven and was packed full of their signature chicken and the usual vegetables (I believe it's tomatoes & cabbage). The sauces pair well too.
I'm glad that I ordered the pita rather than the usual kebab. For future reference, the chicken pita costs $7.
Would definitely come here again whenever the cravings hit.

One of the best around and value for $$$
I have been patronizing this stall regularly for the past few years, but just realized that I have yet to review it! What a sacrilege to decently good food and service!
The kebabs, especially the chicken, are well grilled. Tender, juicy and tasty. Yums! Goes really well with fries, rice, salad or in the quesadillas, pide or burritos. My fav? Is by far the pide with extra chicken! Fresh, fragrant dough and filled with cheesy, juicy chicky goodness.
Service is always with a smile. And since Marsiling Mall is built with high ceiling and BA fans, place is well ventilated and with sufficient seats.
Heading for my pide again, shortly.
