Amazing food in this small gem of a restaurant. All home made (even the sourdough) and very fresh. Highly recommended

Whilst vising the restaurant I had an opportunity to taste their prize winning Chilli dip. It was so delicious, the perfect amount of heat for my taste. It was so nice I obtained a jar! I will be going back for more. It knocks similar dips out of the park .. Congratulations to the lady chef !

Shared the mixed grill, all looked well until we turned over the meat and it was burned black. Shame as we love these guys and normally lovely food. Place was busy so we didn't complain to prevent any awkwardness.

I was on a family trip to Bournemouth and wanted to find a halal restaurant to book dinner for a big group. After looking at reviews online Baraca came up and it did not disappoint. The food was fresh, tasty and the staff so friendly and accommodating. We had the mixed grill and a collection of starters. Each item tasted homemade and was delicious. Would definitely recommend visiting if in the area.

Baraca Restaurant in Bournemouth left me speechless with its incredible dining experience. The grilled fish I had that evening was nothing short of perfection – fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared. But what truly made the night memorable were the charming owners. The wife's culinary expertise was evident in every bite, while the husband's warm hospitality made me feel like a cherished guest. Their genuine passion for food and hospitality elevated the entire dining experience. Baraca is a must-visit gem in Bournemouth, where exceptional cuisine meets a heartfelt welcome!

I have been coming to this restaurant for over 15 years. The food is fantastic and lovingly cooked by the wife of the manager. She grows the herbs, microgreens, fruit and vegetables in the garden behind the restaurant and in her own larger garden, so they are fresh and full of vitamins. The portions are quite large and beautifully presented. The desserts with Turkish coffee are a dream. The service is excellent. Yes, Charminster Road has deteriorated over the years (I used to live nearby as a child and teenager) but there are still some gems. I tried a new Turkish restaurant across the road, but much prefer Baraca. The welcoming interior (lots of lanterns hanging from the ceiling) and, of course, the friendly service make it an exeptionally pleasant place to enjoy a meal. I'm looking forward to eating there again soon.

Many thanks Baracas for a lovely birthday celebration and the lovely birthday surprise!

Baraca, tasty, authentic food made and served with love. Little touches like bread and homemade flavoured oils mean that we felt welcomed from the start of our meal. As a vegetarian there was great choice on the menu and my husband loved the chicken wings. I had a delicious selection of halloumi and stuffed vine leaves. Great service and the little touches kept coming when the team found out it was my birthday and cake, music and dancing were shared. Thank you for making my birthday special.

There are several ethnic restaurants on this road. Even though I haven’t tried all of them, I’m sure this one is the best. The food is excellent (please chose the traditional way of cooking, when there’s an option, otherwise you will be missing), but the setting is also great. Unlike the others, this family restaurant is set back a bit from the road, with a nice small yard on the front, creating a cozy, inviting atmosphere. I’ll visit again !

What a wonderful restaurant! We first visited Baraca as a couple about 20 years ago. We now have teenage children, and whenever we ask them where they want to go for a meal out they always say 'Baraca'. The food here is beautiful - all lovingly prepared and cooked on the premises by the lovely owners. We like to order a table full of different meze dishes and share them between us. Each time we go they have our old 'favourites', but they also add new exciting dishes for us to try on a regular basis. Whenever we have family vising we always try to take them to Baraca as a treat, as we can be sure of a fantastic meal, in a friendly, welcoming atmosphere, at a reasonable price. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.
