Hala Hadramout Restaurant Sabah. مطعم هلا حضرموت — Restaurant in Borneo

We had a terrible experience at this fake restaurant. It is not a genuine Arabic Aladdin restaurant but merely attempts to mimic Arabic cuisine. The only decent item was the biryani rice; the kebab was subpar. The hummus and bread were very bad—the hummus tasted unpleasant, and the bread was cold. The place was very hot, with no air conditioning. They added a 10% service fee, but we wondered what service we were paying for. The boss informed us they were out of beef shawarma and offered lamb instead. The lamb was black and had a strange taste, not resembling lamb at all, despite the boss insisting otherwise. In my opinion, the food is not worth the money, and we regretted dining at this so-called restaurant.

We also tried the kunafa, but we were disappointed as it had nothing in common with authentic Arabic or Turkish kunafa and...

To begin with restaurant’s name has been changed to a different name “ Hala Haadramout” and not changed in Google. Took some time to find the place. Ordered Chicken shawarma wrap , hummus, bread, lamb shawarma & cheese pizza. Really horrible taste. Chicken shawarma came in a very thick wrap and few pieces of chicken. Hummus tasted like a cement. When we clarified with the staff who she said that’s how it tasteas and people who go there like it as it is. Waited for pizza for more than 30 minutes, we were not notified regarding the late arrival of food ( came during lunch hours) . Pizza bread was thick and not fully cooked. Looked like a microwaved food. Not worth it. Nothing like an arabian food. Waste of money....

Mahal tapi biasa saja rasa. Tak guna beras basmati. Lamb shank agak dry.

Reply to the owner, I did visit to your restaurant on 16th November alone and ordered the Large lamb shank set which costed RM70+, but when the meal arrived I was dissapointed with the small portion and the lamb shank was dry too. Requested for Bukhari rice and when I asked whether is it Basmathi rice, the Arab guy answering was blur, he seems confused when I ask. So when arrive its just a normal rice.

I have tasted good and delicious arabic food in Selangor and KL, this doesnt come...
