    Accidentally discovered this place and I didn’t regret at all! The service was fast and the portion of my mendi chicken was just nice for 1 pax 10/10 add on with the garlic sauce and hot green chilli. Price is reasonable. They also have carpet sitting area so you need to take off your shoes in front of the shop. Parking was a bit hard as they have very limited parking. Overall 5 stars!

    Super affordable and reasonable price. All the menu were superb in taste. The restaurant environment is so clean cozy and feeling like I'm in the middle east. Every inch of the restaurant were so artly beautiful, the food taste amazing. Their staff were friendly . Definitely recommended and definitely will come again and again until I've try all the menu. Very big thumb up for the owner. Very happy customer here from north Borneo Sabah. 1000percent recommended

    Comfortable sitting area makes this restaurant a great place for friends and family gathering. Food is okay but not as delicious as other Middle Eastern restaurants in the Johor Bahru area. Atmosphere is great with music and aircond room, with private rooms for gatherings. Service is okay but need more staff to attend to customers needs.

    This is my second time here bringing out my parents for a birthday celebration plus iftar ramadhan. Iftar was on 2nd floor by sofa seating in a small room, fits 10 adults, from 6:30pm-8:30pm. If you came early then you have to wait outside the resto. Sharing small prayer room with no wudhuk area. You take wudhuk by the sink. The food buffet if habis then no topup. Sedihkan? I bawa cake for tapi terpaksa pegang sendiri bcs the fridge is full. The management is hectic and caca marba by time i kat sana. Requested for birthday song, only after 8:00pm can pasang lagu which is, mostly kita semua nak balik dah nak kejar terawih kan. Makanan as usual memang sedap dan berasa cuma tulah, please improve your serving service. Ramai nak tapau food for berbuka and kelam kelibut, customer call and order by 3:00pm pun kena reject 😂Kesian abang tu. Bear in mind, 3 rooms sharing U buffet area ye. 3rd picture tu contoh buffet.

    Nice interior design. They have 2 storey-level restaurant. 2 seating design also (Either sitting on the floor or serve at dining table). Food was great, my family enjoyed it very much. Price and portion fits nicely. Come and try yours ✨

    Had lunch here. Their food were flavoursome and appetising. Bought a number of varieties there. Their decorations were astounding as it fits their theme. Their toilet was incredibly decorated too. They have the sitting on the floor area as well as on the chair. Their attendant on the 2nd floor is very helpful and their food served is fast.

    It's definitely a delightful place to dine in if you are looking for middle eastern cuisine. Comfortable air-coned areas are available, and it's suitable dining for couples or in a big group. You can choose to dine on table-chair settings or dine in sitting on the floor. The dining areas are exceptionally clean and we are amazed. Staff are very attentive, polite and efficient. The meals we had were very delicious, it's generous in ingredients and are very reasonably priced. We already plan to come back for more! And yes, we will recommend our friends to come too...

    Everything here is good!!! I recommend to get the lamb shank and mandi rice! The staff members are very friendly and helpful! Most of them are middle east natives! So they know their foods pretty well! The only down side of coming to this place is that I don't have enough rooms in my belly to try it all! I wish I could've eaten them all! The middle eastern desserts are also delightful! Really RECOMMENDED!

    Amazing place. The authentic arabic decor gives the place an arabic aura. The second floor is less crowded and organised into seperate rooms. The food is just as authentic and amazing. Lots of variety to choose from. The main star is obviously the Nasi Arab with either Lamb or Beef. Its staffs are friendly and gives excellent service. Highly recommended.

    Authentic Arab food run by Palestinian folks. Offers traditional style of low floor dining as well for those who like to eat in the authentic style. We tried their Balmia Lamb dish which was quite unique along of with Fatta rice. Areas of improvement would customer service and some staff training. For example serving the standard set of cutlery like plates and spoons which had to be asked for. Dress attired of staff can be improved. Finding parking space is a bit of a hassle it’s a popular place and due to another restaurant by the side.

  • 5/5 Raidah R. 1 year ago on Google
    Food: Portion is big. Taste is good. For normal Malaysian, I will recommend you guys to share one nasi for two person. But don't know why, we finished it all by our own. One rice one person. I think because it is good Environment: Quite friendly for elderly and kids Price: Standard Arabian or Middle east restaurant. Will I repeat? I am regular.

    Food is mediocre, chicken wing drumlets more like twigs. The mixed plater is ok, but on dry side. The kunafah is fantastic, creamy and sweet. Service is good, price is reasonable too.

    The food here is great it has an authentic taste of arabian food , and the taste is delicious and the price is affordable really suitable to bring family to eat here as they have accommodation as surau and the staf is very friendly

  • 4/5 HC P. 1 year ago on Google
    Small place and no shoes inside the restaurant. Only two tables with chair, otherwise floor seating as per video. Had the fish and lamb with the option to choose the rice (two types). I would go for the Mandy rice (yellow colour). Mutabal was ok (not enough eggplant?). Lamb was ‘falling of the bone’ and subtle taste, so if you don’t like heavily spiced food, this is perfect. Minus one star was for the fish being served late (I waited for half hour while I watched my companion eat😢), the spices/marinade was good and whole fish was fresh. Both the Hibiscus drink and Kunefa was a tad sweet (maybe suited to local taste?), I don’t recall it being so sweet when I had it in Doha.

  • 5/5 Farrah Abd R. 1 year ago on Google
    Wadihana Elarabic restaurants is a great spot for authentic Arabic food. From the moment you enter the restaurant, the decor and ambiance transport you to the Middle East. The menu offers a variety of dishes from different regions in the Arab world, including traditional dishes like shawarma, hummus, falafel, and kebabs. The food quality is exceptional, with fresh ingredients and flavorful spices that leave your taste buds satisfied. The staff is friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. The value is reasonable for the quality and quantity of food served, and the portion sizes are generous. Overall, Wadihana Elarabic restaurants is a great choice for anyone looking for authentic Arabic food in a warm and inviting atmosphere.

  • 4/5 Nur Farah A. 4 months ago on Google
    All the foods were delicious especially maqlubah chicken. Rozmary chicken is a bit diff than mandy or maqlubah but it was good. It was my first time having Umm Ali (Bread Pudding) & for sure i will be having this again during my next visit. It is such a simple but pleasing dessert and i think it is best to eat during rainy days. The service and the waiting time is decent. It is a bit difficult to find parking spots if you come during peak hours. If you want to see the menu, you can see the menu at their whatsapp’s catalogue.

  • 5/5 Syed Syazani Syahiran Bin Syed Alman Z. 5 months ago on Google
    This place is not overhyped. Its as good as they say. Not sure what the rest are talking about. This restaurant is one of the best places to go for mandy rice and kunafe. I wasn't disappointed and wilm return again. The mandy rice was fluffy and full of flavour, the chicken tender and juicy and the sambal delicious! The kunafe was also delicious, very different from others with the cream! The lemon tea with mint is so good! Must try! The lamb shank was so delicious as well! So soft that it melts of the bones! Just stick to basic when going to arab restaurant. Their quality is similar to Al-Diafah in kajang which is my favourite and go to! Now i have another. The atmosphere is nice with maher zain playing, place is well cleaned and maintained as well.

  • 5/5 Alhana A. 8 months ago on Google
    I understand the hype. It is really good and service super fast. Price affordable and it’s kids friendly. If you’re coming in large groups better to call and book in advanced. The Arabic salad that comes with the set is bomb. Kunafa is okay. They also have multiple seatings both table and seating on the floor Arabic style. Parking might be a hassle during peak.

    Lovely ambience. Food was amazing especially their mandi and maqluba. Better to make reservations if u would like to the second floor. Staff were all friendly and attentive. Thank you for wonderful meal🙏

  • 4/5 Erin S. 2 years ago on Google
    Good service & delicious food must try their dessert Umm Ali n Kunafa, for rice my preference is Fatta Rice

  • 4/5 Maulidi H. 1 year ago on Google
    Their mandi & maklubah were tasty. Kunafah was great, not too sweet & full of flavour. Lowlights, kofta beef was average. We ordered piza margarita, it was just plain normal. Had to eat with sauce to add flavour. For drinks we ordered arabic tea & lemon with mint..They were good Summary, rice & kunafa are thier best Plus point - Environment & surrounding, decoration, wall & tiles are gorgeous.

  • 5/5 Syamsul I. 2 years ago on Google
    They serve really authentic Arabic food. The rice and lamb are my favorite here. The lamb is really tender. My family and I always come here whenever we have a craving for good Arabic food. Highly recommended!

  • 1/5 wasir h. 2 years ago on Google
    Bought the dulang set for 2. The rice use is pra boiled basmati which is tasteless since no spices is added. Oil used is not ghee but palm oil and excessive. Pricey but not money worth. 47 ringgit is overpriced.

  • 4/5 Shuk S. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing Eating Place. Highly Reccomended. Lamb Shank is great. The service could have been better. Would have given a 5 star if only the service is up to the standard

  • 5/5 Steven L. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent Mediterranean food. Especially liked the Humus and Pita bread. The Lamb Shank is soft and doesn't have a strong smell. Finished lunch with Mint Tea and Baklava. Best combination to end a Mediterranean lunch for me. Will definitely come again.

  • 3/5 iqbal s. 1 year ago on Google
    Enivroment : very cozy interior, keep clean and well maintened. Service : fast and polite Food : not bad but not too good. The portion is quite small Price : a bit pricy for the small portion food
