A
little
awkward
to
find,
but
once
we
got
there
we
found
a
wonderful
restaurant
in
the
heart
of
Seoul.
To
start
with,
we
lived
in
the
Middle
East
for
six
years.
We
know
Arabic
cuisine.
And
this
is
it,
with
perhaps
a
slight
Indian
touch.
The
people
preparing
your
food
are
authentic
Arabs,
and
they
obviously
know
how
to
prepare
a
proper
Arab
meal.
For
starters,
we
ordered
a
mango
lassi,
garlic
butter
naan
and
hummus.
The
lassi
is
reminiscent
of
our
favorite
Indian
restaurants
and
the
hummus
rivals
the
best
we've
had.
An
excellent
blend
of
ingredients
in
perfect
proportions,
which
any
connoisseur
of
hummus
knows
matters.
The
naan
was
the
ideal
accompaniment,
perfectly
baked
so
as
to
still
be
soft
but
not
doughy.
On
to
the
main
course.
I
had
the
shish
kabob,
which
I
found
to
be
more
like
kofta
than
kabob.
No
matter.
Kofta
is
a
personal
favorite.
Just
enough
seasoning
to
offset
what
could
have
been
a
strong
lamb
flavor.
And
the
portion
was
just
right
to
satisfy
my
appetite.
My
son,
age
9,
usually
a
bit
pickier,
got
the
Petra
Special
Chicken.
Here's
where
it
seemed
more
Indian.
The
chicken
had
an
Arabic
flavor
to
it,
but
the
gravy
was
almost
like
a
sweeter
butter
masala
gravy.
Not
exactly.
It
had
other
qualities
to
it.
But
my
son
was
quite
pleased
with
it.
Served
with
seasoned
rice,
it
was
absolutely
delicious.
We
will
most
definitely
return
next
time
we're
in
Seoul.
This
will
be
a
mainstay.
