- Engage in a restaurant dialogue in Arabic by listening to a scripted conversation.
- Identifying key food and drink vocabulary and responding appropriately to ordering questions.
Dialog في المطعم
In this section, you will engage in a role play in a restaurant. This role play occurs in a restaurant where two customers interact with a waiter to order their meals. You will encounter realistic and culturally relevant language when dining out in Arabic-speaking contexts. The dialogue introduces key vocabulary related to food and drink, table utensils, and ways of cooking (e.g., grilled, boiled, fried).
In this dialogue, a family of four goes to "Ali Baba Restaurant" for lunch.
Nasser is the father, Huda is the mother, Sami is their young adult son, and Rana is their young adult daughter.
The family engages in a polite conversation with the waiter as they order their favorite drinks and meals using food-related vocabulary and appropriate expressions for requesting and asking.
Listen carefully to the audio dialogue, "Nasser, Huda, Sami, and Rana at the Restaurant." As you listen, follow along with the written text provided below.

النَّادِلُ: أَهْلًا وَسَهْلًا بِكُمْ فِي مَطْعَمِ عَلِي بَابَا، تَفَضَّلُوا، كَيْفَ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ أُسَاعِدَكُمْ؟ |
| نَاصِر: أَهْلًا بِكَ، نُرِيدُ طَاوِلَةً لِأَرْبَعَةِ أَشْخَاصٍ |
| النَّادِلُ: تَفَضَّلُوا، هَذِهِ طَاوِلَةٌ مُمْتَازَةٌ. مَاذَا تُحِبُّونَ أَنْ تَشْرَبُوا؟ |
| نَاصِر: مِنْ فَضْلِكَ، قَائِمَةُ الطَّعَامِ |
| النَّادِلُ: عَفْوًا، هَذِهِ قَائِمَةُ الطَّعَامِ |
| هُدَى: أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَشْرَبَ عَصِيرَ البُرْتُقَالِ الطَّازَجِ |
| نَاصِر: أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَشْرَبَ شَايًا أَحْمَرَ بِدُونِ سُكَّرٍ. |
| سَامِي: هَلْ عِنْدَكُمْ شَايٌ بَارِدٌ؟ |
| النَّادِلُ: نَعَمْ، عِنْدَنَا شَايٌ بَارِدٌ بِاللَّيْمُونِ وَبالسُّكّرِ أَوْ بِدُونِ سُكَّر |
| سَامِي: حَسَناً، أُرِيدُ كَأْسَ شَايٍ بَارِدٍ بِاللَّيْمُونِ وَبِالسُّكَّرِ |
| رنا: وَأَنا أُرِيدُ كَأْسَ مَاءٍ بَارِدٍ وَفِنْجَانَ قَهْوَةٍ عَرَبِيَّةٍ بِدُونِ سُكَّرٍ، لَوْ سَمَحْتَ |
| النَّادِلُ: حَاضِر |
| (بَعْدَ عِدَّةِ دَقَائِقَ) |
| النَّادِلُ: الآن، مَاذَا تُحِبُّونَ أَنْ تَأْكُلُوا؟ |
| سَامِي: أُرِيدُ طَبَقَ لَحْمٍ مَشْوِيٍّ مَعَ أَرُزٍّ وَسَلَطَةٍ عَرَبِيَّةٍ وَصَحْنَ حُمُّصٍ. |
| هُدَى: هَلْ عِنْدَكُمْ سَمَكٌ مَقْلِيٌّ مَعَ الخُضَارِ المَسْلُوقَةِ؟ |
| النَّادِلُ: لَا، لِلْأَسَفِ، اليَوْمَ لَيْسَ عِنْدَنَا سَمَكٌ مَقْلِيٌّ، وَلَكِنْ عِنْدَنَا سَمَكٌ مَشْوِيٌّ. هَلْ تُحِبِّينَ ذَلِكَ؟ |
| هُدَى: نَعَمْ، أُرِيدُ صَحْنَ سَمَكٍ مَشْوِيٍّ مَعَ الخُضَارِ المَسْلُوقَةِ وَصَحْنَ تَبُّولَةٍ |
| النَّادِلُ: هَلْ تُرِيدُ الكَاتْشَبَ مَعَ البَطَاطَا؟ |
| سَامِي: نَعَمْ، لَوْ سَمَحْتَ |
| رنا: أَنَا لَا أُرِيدُ لَحْمًا وَلَا دَجَاجًا وَلَا سَمَكًا، وَلَكِنْ أُرِيدُ شُورْبَةَ خُضَارٍ وَطبق معكرونة مع صوص الطماطم وخُبْزًا طَازِجًا |
| النَّادِلُ: تَمَام، هَلْ تُرِيدُونَ حَلْوَى بَعْدَ الطَّعَامِ؟ |
| نَاصِر: نَعَمْ، نُرِيدُ طَبَقَ حَلَوِيَّاتٍ عَرَبِيَّةٍ |
| النَّادِلُ: حَاضِر، سَأَرْجِعُ بِالطَّعَامِ بَعْدَ قَلِيلٍ |
| الْأُسْرَةُ: شُكْرًا |
