Good Middle Eastern lunch at Al-Halabi Gourmet Restaurant @ JW Marriott Kuala Lumpur

Al-Halabi Gourmet Restaurant is part of Tarbush restaurant group. They serve quite extensive of middle eastern food in an awesome environment. The restaurant decoration is nice and they also selling a lot of middle east food items. Sitting inside is like you are in Turkish market. Service were good and if you are into shisha, they do have it as well. The seating were comfortable with sofas.

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).
Price:6/10(Moderate. The food pricing here is reasonable considering its located inside a 5 star hotel. We ordered Sayadiyah fish for MYR45.00 and fattah hummus at MYR25.00. Portion is quite decent for two persons consumption).


Sayadiyah fish with salsa sauce and lemon. Suitable to order if you don't like lamb or chicken.

Nice restaurant ambience.

Lots of middle eastern food condiments.

Banana leaf meal at Curries N Claws @ Citta Mall, Ara Damansara

**Note: This restaurant has closed down. The food getting worse before its closing**
Banana leaf restaurant is another new addition to Citta Mall list of interesting eating place. They have awesome fried bitter gourd and rasam. Do try out their varieties of curries such as crab, squid and cockles curries as those are their specialities. They use better briyani for rice unlike others which use normal rice. Good value meal and taste good.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. Their fried bitter gourd and rasam soup are better than other banana leaf restaurant. Their spicy level is a bit too hot for me but taste good).
Price:7/10(Moderate. Banana leaf meal at MYR10.90. Quite reasonable price considering you can eat as much as you wish and tasty meal).


Tasty banana leaf meal. Their fried bitter gourd taste awesome and crunchy.
