This place has a very inviting atmosphere—modern, clean, and comfortable. The service staff are polite and professionally dressed, which adds a nice touch.

We ordered the mixed grill set for our family. The chicken and lamb kebabs were a bit bland and could have used more seasoning or spices . They were also slightly dry, but the accompanying sauce and yogurt cream helped balance the dish. The lamb chop stood out with its well-seasoned, smoky grilled flavor.

Unfortunately, the chicken seemed overcooked or reheated, as it had lost much of its moisture. The pita and flatbread were decent.On a brighter note, I had the passion mint drink, which was surprisingly refreshing and flavorful.

The food is absolutely amazing. It tastes so authentic, has already tried a few types of briyani here with a few types of meat such as chicken, lamb & meat.

All the meats for me were extremely tender, packed with flavors, and you can taste the spices. Friendly waiter, comfortable seats and table, moderate noises but still acceptable.

I am very disappointed with the service at this restaurant. I placed a pre-order and paid the deposit 4 days in advance for lunch today. However, we did not receive our food as promised.

The order was supposed to be ready at 12:00 PM, but we had to wait another 45 minutes before the food was finally delivered. During this time, we repeatedly asked the counter staff, and they kept saying the food was “being prepared.” Each time we asked for an expected time, the answer was always “15 minutes,” but it was just repeated again and again. Even the PIC try to put the blame on us saying we just order 15 minutes before they start cooking when we are actually PRE-ORDER the menu 4 days before?

This should not have happened, especially since the order was pre-booked for 40 people. Poor preparation and mismanagement caused a lot of inconvenience to us. Very disappointing experience.

Highly recommend to visit in a group so you get to order more varieties of their food. Their Arabic cuisine is as authentic as it gets, and most importantly very value for money! The atmosphere is fancy, the service is professional and fast.

I recommend their appetiser platter with flatbread, their hummus and baba ganoush is absolutely delicious. It includes a very refreshing tabbouleh (Arabic salad) that can act as a palate cleanser.

We also got the 0.5kg mixed rice and it's incredible. The lamb meat that came with it was the softest I've ever had, it came off easily and melt within my mouth, simply amazing.

We also got some grilled meat as side dishes and all of them were delicious. I will only not recommend the prawns, the grilled prawns are filled with flavours but it wasn't that fresh.

If you're willing to try a new cuisine, definitely give this place a try, absolutely amazing food!

I came alone for lunch so I didn’t get to try much. I ordered their bestseller the chicken mandy and it was really nice. A place like theirs will not get it wrong. The chicken meat was falling off the bone and the rice was seasoned so well, you could taste each individual grain. The staff are very professional too and the decor is classy. I’ll definitely try other dishes whenever I’m back in Penang.

Bumped into this place as it was opposite to the place I stayed.

Order Shish Tawooq, though the food didn't look like how it was presented/illustrated in the menu.

Nevertheless, it tasted good and the portion was generous for the price.

I may revisit this place should I stay within the proximity in the coming time.
