They just asked we be done by 9:30 pm for the next party. Mix of regional dishes but primarily Middle Eastern. We also had chicken shish tauk which is a kebab. The rice pilaf contains almonds so be aware for those of you with nut allergies. I had the lamb kebabs which came with roasted potatoes. All the food was very good. We sat on the lower level and inside which was cozy. Please note the stairs are steep and the head space as you are going down or between rooms is low.

We had a great experience and if we are in the area will definitely be back. Make sure to make reservations in advance. Also to give your self time to see the beautiful town. One last recommendation is after dinner, visit the "teteria" where you can enjoy drinks and desert on the rooftop terrace.

A great experience. I knew it would be good, but it was even better than expected. The service…read morewas prompt and professional. We were a large group of 6, and the server helped us with the menu, provided recommendation, and ensured that we did not over order. I am new to these flavors and cuisine. Can;t really rate it objectively, but I am certain that it is delicious. We were tired of tapas, and this was perfect to rejuvenate our taste buds.

This place was really good. We arrived a little before opening, and, to our surprise, they opened…read moreright on time - not necessarily a given post siesta! Upon arrival we were welcomed by the friendly host and seated right away. The tables are these cute booth style seating. While very cute, they're also very tight - really designed for two people. I sat next to my young kiddo and we both found it somewhat uncomfortable. The seats are also quite shallow which made me feel like I was sitting at the end of my seat (I'm an average height guy ~6 ft). The restaurant was beautiful and felt like you had stepped into an old Moroccan bazaar. Really great balance of tradition and culture without being too tacky. After asking a few questions about the menu to manage dietary restrictions, we landed on the humus, babaganoush, chicken tagine and chicken couscous. Both the hummus and babaganoush were served with a pita bread. They were both solid. Flavors were on point. My one observation, and this could be due to Moroccan preparation, was the hummus was a bit thinner than most hummus. So while flavor was great consistency was a bit off to me. The main dishes were both wonderful. The chicken tagine was a generous portion, great for sharing. Two chicken drumsticks with a ton of veggies and fruits cooked to perfection that the meat fell off the bones. The sauce was tasty and well spiced. The couscous was similarly generous two drum sticks buried under a mountain of couscous and topped with a selection of root veggies and accompanied by a side of "salsa" aka chicken broth.

Excellent Moroccan Restaurant, kind of in the middle of nowhere. Near Malaga, Spain. Beautiful…read moreambience, great service. Authentic Moroccan food. We started with some lamb Kebab liked by all. Next came the "Triangles" made with phyllo dough and stuffed with a spicy meat. The Bastilla, a North African savory pie, made with a mixture of chicken, egg, many spices, onions, almonds, a delicious mix of flavors, in a crispy , flaky phyllo dough, making it finger licking good. We did have a lamb couscous with vegetables and it looked so good, I forgot to take a picture! We devoured it. For desert the traditional Moroccan tea with Chabakia, a sweet, pastry, dipped in honey and orange blossom water, sprinkled with sesame seeds. A delicious meal. I would most likely go back.

Arroyo Hondo is situated in Casares, up in the mountains. The road up from the coast way (AP7) is…read morewindling, but it is so worth it. Arroyo Hondo is owned by a japanese woman and her brittish husband, hence the theme of the food is international with asian, moroccan and european influences. During the hot summer most of the visitors are sitting in the beautiful and lovely garden which reminds a bit about Japan exterior. The waiters are very nice and service-minded. We ordered chicken karage to share as a starter (8.5EUR) which was pleasant. As a main course we ordered Lamb chops, Skirt steak with soba noodles, turbot with baby potatoes and monkfish with citronaisse (mayonaisse with a touch of citrus). Approx. 18-22EUR per dish. The presentation of the dishes was fabulous and all of the tasted good. However the Skirt Steak became everyones favourite! The children ordered 2 margaritas that also looked really tasty (really good that they had options for children as well). As dessert it was really difficult to decide since the menu were full of tempting choices. However we ordered baked lemon cake and pavlova with berries (6.5EUR). Both of them really good as well. Why only 4 star? Arroyo Hondo has become one of my favourites in Costa del Sol. Food with modern touch, divine view up in the mountains, service-minded waiters/waitresses and affordable. However, for the last star I would like even more spices in the food and even more WOW-feeling (now I am comparing with restaurants in general and not only restaurants in Costa del Sol). Go here during your next stay. Eat, relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery high up in the mountains! Pay attention: You need to make a reservation at least 2 days in advance!
