Arabella Lounge

Head up to the rooftop of Nadeem Plaza and you'll find yourself in a proper Lebanese restaurant that doesn't try too hard but gets the fundamentals right. The mezze spreads are generous—hummus, fattoush, tabbouleh—and the grilled meats come out properly charred and seasoned. You're looking at solid food at reasonable prices (mains hover around £12-18), which explains why the place has built a loyal following across north Luton and beyond. It's the kind of neighbourhood spot that works for date nights, family gatherings or just a Friday night out without the fuss.
