What Tyler Thompson likes about Abracadabra Cafe:
Staff were super friendly. Coffee was good and the food was amazing. Can't go wrong Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Chicken Sliders, Spicy Lamb Salad View all feedback. What Michiel T doesn't like about Abracadabra Cafe:
Our previous visit had set a high bar, with the food being nothing short of exceptional. However, this time around, the establishment seemed to have lost its charm. While the service was passable, the food was a let-down. Regrettably, we won't be returning, and I find it difficult to recommend this place to others.

Nestled in a vibrant spot, this restaurant promises a delightful dining experience with an eclectic menu that caters to diverse palates, including ample halal and vegan options. Diners rave about the succulent marinated chicken, flavorful couscous salad, and Tunisian spiced lamb shank. The inviting staff and cozy ambiance, accented by unique decor, enhance the peaceful setting. Although some dishes garnered mixed reviews, and service can be slow during quiet hours, the overall consensus highlights the delicious food and friendly atmosphere, making it an ideal choice for family gatherings or leisurely meals with friends. A noteworthy destination for food enthusiasts!.
