                                                                November 1, 2001




Ark Restaurants Corp.
85 Fifth Avenue
New York, New York 10003

Gentlemen:

         Reference is made to that certain Fourth Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement, dated as of December 27, 1999 by and between Bank Leumi USA (the
"Bank") and Ark Restaurants Corp. (the "Company"), as amended by letter
agreements, dated August 21, 2000 and as of November 21, 2000 (as so amended,
the "Restated Agreement"). Capitalized terms used in this letter agreement (the
"Amendment"), and not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings defined
in the Restated Agreement.

         Pursuant to the Restated Agreement, the Bank agreed to (i) make one or
more Loans to the Company, until the Conversion Date, in an aggregate amount as
of the date of this Amendment not to exceed $23,000,000, at any one time
outstanding, and (ii) issue letters of credit for the benefit of the Company, in
an aggregate amount not to exceed $1,500,000. The Bank and the Company have
agreed to further amend the Restated Agreement, among other things, to (i)
increase the aggregate amount of the Loans which the Bank may make to the
Company to $26,000,000 until the Conversion Date, (ii) change the Conversion
Date, (iii) reduce the aggregate amount of the Letters of Credit, which the Bank
may issue for the benefit of the Company, at any one time outstanding to
$1,000,000.

         Accordingly, the Company and the Bank agree as follows:

         A. Amendments to Definitions

              A.1 Section 1.6 of the Restated Agreement is hereby amended and
restated as follows:

              "1.6 The term "Commitment" means the principal sum of $26,000,000
              until June 30, 2002, provided, however, that the said sum shall be
              reduced by any Reduction Amount."

         B. Amendments to Amount and Terms of Credit

              B.1 Section 2.1.1 of the Restated Agreement is hereby amended and
restated as follows:

              Borrower in any calendar month shall, in the aggregate, not
              exceed $1,250,000. The Revolving Loans made available to the
              Company pursuant to this revolving loan facility are to provide
              working capital for the Company's operations. The aggregate
              principal amount of the Revolving Loans, at any time outstanding,
              shall not exceed the Commitment. Subject to the foregoing, until
              the Conversion Date, the Company may borrow, repay and reborrow
              the Loans to the limit of the Commitment."

              B.2 Section 2.1.4 of the Restated Agreement is hereby amended and

              be dated as of the date of the Amendment; (ii) be in the principal
              amount of $26,000,000; (iii) bear interest at a fluctuating rate
              per annum equal to one half of one (1/2%) percent above the
              Reference Rate, in effect from time to time, until maturity
              (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and thereafter at a

              documents and papers as are provided for herein. The Term Note

         D. Representations and Warranties. To induce the Bank to enter into the
Amendment, the Company represents and warrants to the Bank that:

              D.1 Authority, Enforceability. The Company has all requisite legal
right, power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Amendment. The
Restated Agreement, this Amendment and the Loan Documents are legal, valid and
binding obligations of such of the Company and the Subsidiaries as are parties
thereto, and are enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as such
enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other
similar laws presently or hereafter in effect affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally or the availability of equitable remedies.

              D.2 Execution. The execution, delivery and performance by the
Company of this Amendment and the Revolving Note (a) have been authorized by all
requisite corporate action, (b) will not violate (i) the Certificate of
Incorporation or By-laws of the Company, (ii) the Certificate of Incorporation
or By-Laws of each Subsidiary, (iii) any agreement or contract to which the
Company is a party, or by which it or any of its property is bound, or any

revised schedule 4.12 to the Credit Agreement is annexed to this Amendment as
and Exhibit.

         E. Miscellaneous.

              E.1 Extant Note. As soon after execution and delivery by the
Company of the Note as is practical, the Bank will return to the Company the
note evidencing the Loans which was extant prior to the execution and delivery
of the Revolving Note.

              E.2 Entire Agreement. This Amendment is intended by the parties as
the final expression of their agreement, and therefore incorporates all
negotiations of the parties hereto, and together with the Restated Agreement and
other Loan Documents set forth in the entire agreement of the parties hereto.

              E.3 Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which taken

                                      NOTE


$26,000,000                                                    November 1, 2001


         ARK RESTAURANTS CORP., a New York corporation (the "Company"), hereby
promises to pay to the order of BANK LEUMI USA (the "Bank"), at the office of
the Bank at 562 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10036, in lawful money of the
United States and in immediately available funds, the principal sum of
Twenty-Six Million ($26,000,000) Dollars or, if less, the aggregate principal
amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans as defined in and made by the Bank to
the Company pursuant the Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined).

         Each Loan made by the Bank under the Loan Agreement and each payment
thereof made by the Company, shall be endorsed by the Bank on the schedule
attached to this Note, provided, however, that the failure by the Bank to
endorse the schedule shall not affect the obligation of the Company to repay the
Loans.

         The outstanding unpaid principal balance of this Note shall bear
interest at the rate per annum provided for in the Loan Agreement. Interest on
this Note shall be payable as set forth in the Loan Agreement and shall be
calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days, for the actual number of days
elapsed.

         This note is the Revolving Note referred to in that certain Fourth
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement between the Company and the Bank, dated as
of December 27, 1999, as heretofore and concurrently amended, and as such
agreement may be further amended from time to time (the "Loan Agreement"), and
is subject to prepayment and its maturity is subject to acceleration upon the
terms contained in the Loan Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein shall be
defined as in the Loan Agreement.

         If any payment on this Note becomes due and payable on a day on which
the Bank's offices are closed (as required or permitted by applicable law or
otherwise), such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding day on which
those offices are open, and if the date for any payment of principal is so
extended, interest thereon shall be payable for the extended time.

         This Note shall be deemed to be in substitution or and replacement of,
and not a repayment of the Note dated as of September 30, 2001, made by the
Company to the Bank (the "Prior Note") and all interest accrued and unpaid under
such Prior Note shall be deemed evidenced by this Note and payable hereunder
from and after the date of accrual hereof. The execution and delivery of this
Note shall not be construed (i) to have constituted repayment of any amount of
principal or interest on the Prior Note, or (ii) release, cancel or terminate or
otherwise impair all or any part of any lien or security interest heretofore
granted to the Bank as collateral security for the Prior Note.

         Presentment for payment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest and notice
of protest are hereby waived.

         This Note amends and restates the extant Note made by the Company to
the Bank, to evidence the Revolving Loans.
