Gwad Basha Arabic Restaurants — Restaurant in Borneo

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...

Had hummus with Rateeb bread. And Adeni Tea.

Hummus was okay. Rateeb bread was a bit too greasy. Adeni tea was a disappointment, it tasted nothing like spiced milk tea. And the milk itself tasted cheap.

What was even more disappointing was that the staffs kept making unnecessary noises; clattering spoons and forks, making noise behind counter like they were banging on something. Since it was only my friend and me, we assumed they were closing and that the noise was their way of hinting for us to leave, plus one of them was sweeping the floor. But no…. it was only 7pm (i had to ask too if theyre closing, and they said no 🙄)

To those who is in fnb industry, please learn proper...

Disappointing food to be frank.

We had the rice with chicken, the small appetizer and the small grill kebabs.

The chicken that came with the rice was a piece made in a broth so was almost tasteless.

The appetizer was good but was probably worth half the amount charged.

The kebabs were so so. Lamb and chicken skewers were both very bland but the chicken sheekh kebabs were okay.

A few years ago this was probably the best brunei had to offer but now you've got so much other places that these guys have not kept up. Neither with the prices nor with the taste. (Eg grills and more do a better mix grill and their rice is much superior).

Overall I would not...
