Al-Halabi Gourmet Restaurant

I've tasted Middle Eastern cusine from many regions and many restaurants in KL, Halabi's by far is the best tasting and best atmosphere. As you walk in you feel like you're in the midst of a Moroccan market. Their Kash Kash Kebab and Kimma are to die for!

Hidden gem alert! Okay, it's not that hidden considering it's located in Pavilion and on the Dining Loft (Level 7) floor too. BUT this seemingly typical Middle Eastern restaurant unveils a surprise setup within — think sunlight streaming in, Arabian lights hanging above and quaint Mediterranean prints. Walking in to find this area waiting is very rewarding. PS bring a date. The Kebab Halabi (RM30) comes with four lamb skewers and a bucketload of mint and onions — so, incredibly fragrant while the meat itself is well-marinated. Arabic bread will be served alongside any dish you order. These are a little puffier than the traditional version, but similar tastewise. Regretably, I could only order as much alone and the combination of kebab and bread sans sauce or gravy can be a little dry. If you're not dining alone, I'd recommend ordering an appetiser (perhaps hummus or or moutabal) to go with the bread. Can't think of a better way to end the meal than with the spice-laced Arabic Tea (RM15) to refresh your palate (and breath)!
