I got interested in Middle Eastern cuisine many years ago since I kind of linked it to Indian cuisine, which I love. The association comes from the fact that both cuisines use lots of spices. But I didn’t get around to try it due to various personal reasons. So when I came to know about The Prince, I immediately jumped onto it to make a reservation. So goal finally met and I’m happy with it! By the way, the name "The Prince" reminds me of "Prince of Persia", which is very fitting for an Arabian restaurant.
The food here is delicious and so full of flavours. As mentioned above, there are lots of spices used in Middle Eastern food. In fact, the spices used here are very distinctive in flavours, being totally different from Indian spices. I love it nonetheless. And the food here has just the right amount of spices added to have the exotic tastes teasing the palates without overwhelming the tastebuds. I'm loving Middle Eastern cuisine already.
The interior of the restaurant is split into two areas. The one in front that is modern, stylish with a bar and subtle Arabian influences due to the florid Arabian patterns on the ceiling and murals, large dome-shaped ceiling lamps, dark wooden furniture and bronze trimmings on the tables. I can imagine how mystifying the restaurant will look at night when the candles lit up in the floor lamps placed around the restaurant. While the area hidden at the back is more formal and has this Middle Eastern Mystique due to the tapestry with Arabian calligraphy.
The service here is great, being responsive and friendly, making awesome recommendations since I have no idea what to order. I really enjoy dining here.
