When entering ARIYAF, one finds him or herself in a different world. The restaurant contains beautiful marble fountains, excellent lighting, and makes one feel like it is in an atmosphere like that of Aladdin. Ariyaf is truly an Arab restaurant in all details. Ariyaf contains a luxurious hookah room in which one can enjoy a smoke on the table, or on the floor with cushions. The hookahs are imported from Lebanon and Dubai, making the hookah experience at Ariyaf the real thing.

For those who love minimal style, the European zone is up your alley. There is a special VIP room for guests.

The kitchen and interior combines oriental and western traditions. Fans of classical European cuisine can enjoy a cream of asparagus soup, steak of marbled beef, light salads, and shrimp. But the emphasis once one is in the restaurant should be paid to the eastern part of the cuisine. For those who are familiar with Arabic cuisine, the Ariyaf mix is preferred. The Ariyaf mix is composed of lamb ribs, beef kebabs, lamp, chicken, and vegetables. The dish is prepared over an open fire and is recommended for two. 

In the evening of Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, guests can enjoy live music and spectacular belly dance performance by the eastern beauties of Ariyaf.
