We visited this restaurant at the end of our Malaysian holiday, after eating so many amazing meals this was a massive highlight of the whole trip.

Excellent service and EXCELLENT food. We had actually too much for the five of us! Keep up the amazing work

We ordered the lamb mandi and hummus, and we enjoyed the meal. The lamb was juicy, tender, and flavorful. While I’m not usually a big fan of hummus, I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was here. The restaurant also has a cozy and private atmosphere. The prices are fairly similar to other Middle Eastern restaurants in the area. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience.

Had the shawarma here and it was the best I’ve ever tried! Flavorful, juicy, and super satisfying. Definitely my go-to spot in KL for shawarma.

My meal with lamb was pretty decent, but all the chickens that were presented and served looked and tasted dry. However the atmosphere and the vibes are decent at best, and I was told that you can smoke inside an indoors. price seems pretty pricey but I’m not sure as it was paid by the bosses I don’t have any complete photos guess you have trust my words for it
