My family ate lunch here today. Food was amazing, service was excellent. My son asked if we can go again tomorrow, and we just might! Prices were very reasonable. I had a chicken shawarma wrap that was unbelievable, and my son took my side lentil soup from me and wouldn't ... give it back. Read more

A home away from home! I remember that we have just arrived in Regina, looking for a place to stay and we came across the amazing hidden gem on Rose Street. We just wanted to get some coffee and that’s when we discovered this beautiful place. Any place wouldn’t be a place ... without people who paint that beautiful picture and make sense of place. We happen to meet Farid, Hayat, Nour and his beautiful family who run this place. What an amazing humble family and what a nice place. There is something about family-owned businesses; makes you feel at home and you immediately fall in love with it. But what’s more significant here is the kindness of this family. The warm welcome and love that shared with us was absolutely incredible and we will always be grateful for that. I really cannot imagine Regina without Abstractions - it changes everything for us. The place is actually nice and it is kinda of a community center. People always come together at this place and everyone knows everyone. You come here once and then you just keeping on coming every single day! They also invite local artists to exhibit their art work and showcase it to the community. Isn’t that cool? The food is absolutely spot on. The family originally from Syrian and hence the incredible middle eastern cuisine. We loved every dish and we could no ask for more to comfort our appetite in a place like Regina. Again they are a game changer for me! The vibe is really cool too. Not only you feel at home but also they created this amazing intimate vibe; amazing music, paintings on the wall and an armchair at the corner makes you feel comfortable at all time. Nour, the son is an amazing talented artist who runs a nonprofit organization concerned with music and DJs all across the city. With his music and influence he plays a huge role in challenge the status quo and engaging the community with art and music. He runs musical events and invites DJs from across the city - even beyond Regina as we happen to see that amazing DJ coming all the way from Moose Jaw to take part of this event - and create something really special that could be a catalyst for a change and for us it was just the cherry on top. I am so grateful that we found this place and this is an invitation for everyone to come and enjoy it. This place has something - for everyone! Read more
