The chunks of tender lamb with notes of herbs are complemented by a big plate of fragrant white rice and a salad of tomato, lemon, and gherkins. A spoon of the sauce with the rice is just heavenly.
Here's the location.
Halab Penang is probably one of the places where you can take someone for an amazing dining experience.
I chose Chicken Shawarma Plate, four pieces of something that looked like Samosa filled with minced meat, Falafel with Humus and Beef Pizza. And I guess I had overeaten my late lunch with all that was put on the table.
Satu pinggan ni harganya RM22. Boleh makan dua orang ya, jangan tamak macam kami, order seorang sepinggan lepas tu bila datang tengok berlambakkk, haha. Kami masing-masing terus asingkan separuh bahagian nasi tu ke dalam satu pinggan lain, yang tu kami tapau bawa balik. Kalau tengok kuantitinya, boleh makan untuk dua orang yang kami tapau tu, Iman kata, tu nanti bolehlah buat sarapan hari Jumaat, fuhhhh. Nanti lain kali nak makan set dulanglah, lagi jimat kot, hihi.
I memang dah jatuh hati dengan pizza sentuhan negara timur tengah, pizza dari restoran arabian. Lagi sedap dari biasa weyyyy... tak tau la macam kemaruk pulak hahaha!
They served 2 types of soup, Lamb & Oatmeal soup and Lentil Soup. Personally, I preferred the Lamb & Oatmeal soup, very rich and creamy! It goes absolutely well with the Arab Bun … yum!
Lamb mendy was next up.The lamb is actually hidden under the briyani rice. Portion is huge enough for sharing of two person. The lamb mendy is very good and we actually wiped everything off in 15 mins. The briyani cooked with butter is fluffy and aromatic with a hint of lamb smell. The lamb is tender and juicy. This is a must try dish for all lamb lovers. It costs us RM35 for this dish and we will definitely come back for it.
The dish I enjoyed most was this Al Diafah rice (beriyani) with the 1/4 size BBQ chicken. Both rice and chicken were equally tasty. The beriyani was not too oily, and each came with a fragrant taste.
Mutabal This is another must try dish here. You can enjoy the perfectly grilled eggplant that is well dipped with the delicious made creamy Tahina Sauce. Then drenched with the Olive oil.
Just some local Arabic food in Malaysia love it.
Both of us shared this dish - Shakriya Lamb at MYR 37++ (10% service charge, 6% SST = MYR 42.92 nett) - Lamb Shank cooked in herbs, yogurt and served with rice. The roasted almonds are crunchy and go well with the rice and savoury yogurt. The lamb shank is huge and has a lot of tender fresh meat with the nice lamb taste. We did not expect to like the savoury yogurt but we were blown away when we ate it, we like it a lot - it is not too thick and not too diluted, it smells strongly of milk but not cloying. We consider it light without being foamy and is robust enough in taste and texture.
The Chicken Mandi Rice was very well-marinated with herbs and spices packed with a smoky flavour. A total hit with us, it was delicious preparation of chicken cooked with mandi powder served over a layer of basmati rice. It is packed with spices flavours and the taste of the perfect blend of spices. Best eaten along with raita for a delicious meal.
As for the main course, we can choose to have the set of rice with chicken or lamb. The rice consist of Mandi, Kabsa, Biryani and Maqluba. They were all really fluffy and the spices are quite well balanced. It's not as filling as having a full bowl of white rice at all. The protein was nicely cooked and marinated adequately especially the lamb which was incredibly tender
Next up, we had the Lamb Mandi and as a lamb-meat lover, this was my favorite dish of all. The lamb meat was so soft, juicy and no gamey smell at all. I believe those who doesn't eat lamb due to the strong smell will be able to eat their Lamb Mandi. Not doubt that this was one of their best seller and popular dish. Oh yes, it was so filling as this dish comes with the spice flavored basmati rice.
Masih tak mengecewakan aku !
Apa apa pun, Ramadan buffet dia memang terbaik !
The rice which this restaurant is famous for was heavenly. It had such amazing flavours that I was addictively going for it despite having had a full tummy. The best Nasi Arab that I have tasted till date and my rating for this shall be 10/10.
Harga pun berpatutan. Servis slow sikit kalau time ramai orang. Bertabah lah !
Chicken Mandy (half chicken), 26 ringgit This was da bomb! It was very good. Oooo man, I got to start with the chicken. The reason I ordered half a chicken rather than the other available option – Quater, was because based on my experience with many other eateries, most of the time, the chicken pieces offered are usually little or smaller in size. So, just to be on the safe side, I opted for half a chicken. When it arrived though, Wowza! when these folks say ‘half a chicken’ then they would deliver exactly that because it literally was a whole piece of half a chicken. Then, when I started cutting into it – the meat was sooooooo tender that it literally fell of the bone. There was no hardship at all, no having to ‘fight’ and ‘wrestle’ with the meat to break it apart. It tasted equally as awesome. There wasn’t as much flavor on the meat as it did on the rice but whatever flavor there was + plus the naturally feel of being baked – simply awesome! Having the chicken with the rice though …. heavenly. That is all there is to say 🙂
Taste:9/10(Delicious. Ordered the sayadiyah fish dish and taste quite good. Whole pompret with fish pieces and rice in one dish. The rice cooked with fish broth adds the flavour to the dish. The appetizer of fattah hummus that we ordered is unexpected large with lots of chickpea and tahini mixed with yogurt, garlic and fried bread. Taste quite unique but good).
Reasons to visit Tarma Iraqi Street Food: a cheery, casual eatery; a great place to come with friends or family; order lots and share it all; value for money; must try the breakfast omelette, share some Moajanat, be sure to try the Chillfry and save room for the fried doughnuts (or not, you’ll fit them in either way full or empty).
Citrarasa terbaik untuk pilihan Arabian food.
Overall, makanan tak mengecewakan. Servics OK. Harga pun not bad !
Mr. Shawerma is a chain of Middle Eastern eateries in Penang.
Dia orang tak komen sedap dan tak jugak kata tak sedap. So so je. Kebab shawarma aku tu pun rasa biasa biasa jer. Macam kurang kick !
It is suitable for all MUSLIM friends.
整体来说这家餐厅算是清真中餐里头我还算喜欢的一家，有特色而且不贵，下次和回教朋友吃饭的话会考虑来这里。
Makanan dia sedap....servis pun cepat...kakitangan pun sangat- sangat friendly. Bila kita tanya tentang sesuatu menu dan mintak pendapat SA memang puas hati sebab mereka well known..ada knowledge tentang menu dan dengan friendly bagi cadangan mana- mana hidangan yang selalu menjadi pilihan pelanggan.
Reasons to visit: a chance to try the not-so-commonly-found-in-Malaysia Yemeni cuisine; don’t miss the Mullawah and Rateeb breads, Lamb Soup, the Saltah, and be sure to order Kunafe for dessert!
Try Yemeni cuisine at least once and you will be surprise at how good the cuisine is. Al Nafoura is a great choice to try the cuisine as the Rahim has really nailed the flavours well. Dishes are affordable and prepared very well. Al Nafoura also does catering for private parties. It may be my first time trying Yemeni cuisine but it will certainly not be my last as Al Nafoura has really left a delicious experience of Yemeni cuisine for me.
The rm$45 "中東卡布薩羊肉飯" Lamb Shank Kabsah" comes with well flavored but slightly hot and spicy dark yellowish to maybe brownish color, along with a big bone of lamb shank, superbly flavored and tender.
Their Mixed Grill usually comes with Beef too and so if you're one who does not eat Beef, do let them know and they would substitute it with more Chicken. I felt that these were really good and they came with some French Fries and Arabic Bread. The bread was so soft and nice and both the Lamb and Chicken were heavenly. I would definitely rate this at 9/10.
Reasons to visit Drift and Flow Bangsar: More of the comfortable fusion cuisine that we have come to expect from Drift Dining. Don’t miss the Dukkah Tiger Prawns, the Spring Chicken, and the Grilled Halloumi.
