تقييم المطعم: Contemporary Elegance, Cool Sophistication 
   
 A successful restaurant relies upon three primary elements: food, ambience, and service.  In addition, that elusive quality of ‘je ne sais quoi’ will ensure the popularity of any establishment…Mabu has hit upon this winning combination with their new Jeddah branch of their celebrated Beirut restaurant.   
  
 Their international menu which specializes in Pan-Asian cuisine (their spring rolls and sushi combos are excellent), as well as French/Italian offerings ensures culinary satisfaction for all diners.  The salads and pizzas are fresh and innovative, while the entrees such as the Mabu Grilled Chicken with potato puree and a deliciously rich mushroom sauce and the Salmon Teriyaki served with sautéed spinach and mushrooms both demonstrate the chef’s expert touch.   Save room for dessert as the French items are all excellent, in particular the Chocolate Fondant with orange sauce/ vanilla ice cream and the Crème Brule are some of the best in town.  
  
 Good food can be found all over Jeddah…but the elegantly sophisticated atmosphere at Mabu is the singular element which will elevate your meal into a memorable dining experience.  Entering the heavy wooden doors and the delightful courtyard is just the first step into the world of Mabu – a surprising restaurant which reveals its secrets as you penetrate the interior rooms past the Moroccan-style foyer with its delicately carved stone-work panels.  The main dining room is decorated in purple and black, a stylish combination accented by spotlights and enhanced by subtle mood music and elegant artwork.  The ambiance is akin to a trendy restaurant in New York or Beirut.  The waiters are prompt and attentive, and they’re also knowledgeable about the unique menu items.  In fact, it’s so easy to lose yourself in your surroundings that you’ll emerge from your meal with the feeling that you’ve actually made a quick trip abroad!
