    Love their fast service and very light but very flavourful dishes like mixed grill. Another additional must visit is they are having kunafa with variety of matching soon....

    Whatever you do avoid this Resturant. My husband had I came here after mosque, to have dinner. We ordered large mix grill, we were offered bread or rice, we chose rice. Then offered salad or fries, my husband asked what salads come with it and the waitress listed several options. My husband chose tabouli. We also had tea, and mint lemonade. We were informed after ordering that they only take cash, however we assumed we would have enough cash given the dish we ordered was 26.90 and all we had in addition to this was tea and lemon mint drink. The bill came of $45.20 to our shock. The waitress insisted the salad is not included though its presented this way on the menu and was offered this way verbally. In addition the tea is $5.50 and lemon mint is 4.90 the same lemon mint drink can be had in much larger size all over Brunei for $1. We had to drive all over looking for an atm @ 2200 at night as they refused our American cash to make up the difference. Every meal we had in Brunei was under $10-15 for the 2 of us, we expected this to cost more, but these prices are outrageous, these prices are what you would pay in the United States in a high cost of living area like Seattle, Los Angeles or NYC the food is ok, but not an authentic Arabian flavor or experience promised in their website (we are Arabs from the USA) and have spent time in the Middle East. The tabouli served didn’t even have lemon juice and olive oil. The service is from Filipinos who gaze upon you with blank expressions in their face. No Arabian experience or flavor found here.

    Generally happy with the food, thought service can be a bit slow sometimes. We had a time when our order was missed entirely with other patrons already getting their food and paid! However, the manager made it up to us and gave the meal away for free to us.

    This place serves up a really good meze platter. And the bread is really crispy and tasty. I’d always go for the meat platter and meze plate whenever I go there.

    The food excelled my expectations. I had the falafel set and some hummus and both were wonderful. Mango lassi was super refreshing. Even though the food was pricey, the portion size was huge. Would come again.

    Shawarma was not good,kind of dry

  • 1/5 Lucy C. 5 years ago on Google
    Very disappointing meal - hummus tasted rotten and off, I sent it back to the kitchen and they brought us another one which tasted the exact same. We paid $8 for the large falafel, which came over fried (probably re-fried from earlier in the day - no flavor! Burnt!!) and we only had 4? Incredibly disappointing. Terrible customer service and we will not be back. Such a shame as this USED to be fantastic food. Certainly not any more.

    Loved the food but a bit pricy in my opinion.

    Quality and value seems to have gone down lately. Lamb Mandy and few dishes were tasteless. Asking for extra sauce = more charges and they didn't mention that. Portions are not as good as they used to. But the prices remain high - which didn't used to be a problem due to the value. Expect to spend about 20bnd per head. Only saving grace was the mutabal set. That's it

    Was unfamiliar with the type of food served here but the staff were great in explaining what was what and how each dip goes with which menu item. Definitely recommend

    First time here, I had the chicken shawarma with rice, absolutely delicious. The Turkish coffee, while a bit strange, maybe I didn't know how to drink it, I kind of enjoyed, even with the coffee grounds entering my mouth. Staff, feel like they don't care to help or "layan" you, however, they treated the Caucasian group across the restaurant very nicely, so, well.... Atmosphere wise nothing to write home about. Also, take note, prices are extremely expensive, and they only take cash or bank transfer, weirdly enough to a Chinese named account, so take from that what you will.

    They used to accept cards. We came and placed a large order only to be told that they accept cash only cause their terminal is broken. Reading reviews now, saw that someone else had to pay in cash as well THREE MONTHS AGO. So disappointed and annoyed. Fix your terminal! It's so complicated to make online transfers now cause it requires filling in the details and getting the OTP. Don't complicate things for your customers. You're also not supposed to use a PERSONAL BANK ACCOUNT for BUSINESS PURPOSES.

    It is Ramadhan so I'm not going to lie. I order some humus and extra malawah bread for iftar. The humus was acceptable but the malawah was really tough. We're done with the restaurant.
