Retoran Wadi Hadramawt

Love this Arabic restaurant to bits!!! Their food standard is high in terms of taste and variation. Nothing compares to the bread they make here, and I mean it! It really depends on the chef’s mood, if not in the mood, the chef makes it still nice, but not as good. There are many times when the bread tastes magical! You may request for the chef to cook the bread a little longer to make it crispier.
The dishes to die for here are the chicken and mutton Ogda (served in hot black stone bowl)!! Their taste might be something U’ve never tried before. The meat was shredded very finely, it almost looks like beaten eggs. I believe the meat in these 2 dishes have been set in oven overnight at a relatively low temperature, allowing the heat to soften the meat. This method might also the reason as to why their mutton doesn’t have that ‘stinky’ mutton smell. This is the first time in my life taking so much mutton, I usually hate the smell of mutton, but this, love it.
As for their kebab, I wouldnt say it ranks in the top for their restaurant. Chicken kebab wasn’t really cooked thoroughly with some parts in pink, beef kebab proved a little too tough as well, but taste is quite nice. There’s not much taste to the fish kebab either except for the salt haha. Love their homemade garlic mayonnaise, great to go with fries!
If u’re looking at juices, I recommend the grape juice as it’s freshly pressed, all natural! All goodness in a cup, mango juice wise, they mix it with purée and mango meat. Not too bad.
Service wise, the waiters were really helpful and friendly. Overall, this my if my favourite Arabic restaurant here in Kuala Lumpor, and it’s known to serve great food! Sometimes rumours can’t go too wrong ;)

This is my pick for the best Arabic food in KL. It took me a few years to finally go in to have a meal because it is in a very unassuming spot for such great food. Who would have thought to look for a fine dining experience sandwiched in between to car dealerships on a pretty ugly stretch of Jalan Ampang? Make no mistake, this place is great.
The bread here is epic. It is fresh, flavorful, pulls apart beautifully for dipping and wrapping, but most of all it is huge :) This bread alone is worth the trip. I love that they have one specific baker for the bread and if he is not in there is no bread. Complete quality control.
My second favorite this here is called Ogda chicken. It also come in a lamb version. It is slowly cooked chicken that melts in your mouth and has just the right amount of spice. Wrap a piece of their bread around a bite of this and you will see why I am raving about it so much.
I also like the Moroccan soup and the mint tea they serve. The service is good too. I have always found the staff super friendly and accommodating.
