Fourth time here and the foods i ordered have never disappointed me. I literally have tried everything from chicken and lamb maghdoud, haneeth, hummus, flatbread, pizza and kebab and everything was perfect except for Mandy rice because its too bland for my malay tongue. But overall was perfect!

First time here, about 25mins waiting for the lamb meals maybe the cooking time but overall the dishes all good, pizza value for money & delicious worth it to repeat next time. The owner and staff also friendly. We ordered 2 sets of rice with lamb, shawarna with rice, pizza & baklava, the price is reasonable with big portion of food Thank you

Arabic food, cosy atmosphere. Light music in the background, wonderful food. Small choice of food but consistently good quality. Simple and plain looking, but cheap and good portion. Parking may be a little of an issue but otherwise plenty and abundant at close by shoplots. Open from lunch onwards (please check operational times, correct at time of review made) till midnight.

Latest visit in March 2024: Nasi Ayam Mandy is still absolutely delicious! Ordered a special Udang claypot dish and it’s very good. Freshly made Roti Pizza also baguss! Visit in April 2022: Excellent food! Served freshly made, piping hot bread. Delicious Nasi Ayam Mandy. Chicken is so tender it comes right off the bone easily and the three-coloured basmati rice is very fragrant and aromatic. The hummus comes with a delicious, freshly made, fluffy flat bread. The flavour of olive oil on the hummus is fruity and good. The mixed kebab set is good. My family loves with vegetable tajine and hot mint tea is good for family sharing. Good thing is, sugar comes separately so you can control how much sugar you want in it for those who are diabetic. Everything is good! I would love to be back!

Randomly found this restaurant on google map. I have to say it convinced me very well. Comfortable open environment, not hot, a little wind. More importantly, their chicken and lamb, are easily fitting into my top 3 list. However, their pizza is just so so. Drink is good, like cafe grade good. Their staffs are friendly, relaxing. If you are bored of your regular food, come try this Arab food, you wont be disappointed.
