I'm from Penang,Malaysia, and I've eaten and prepared this dish all my life, and I must say that the steps in this restaurant are very accurate. This dish is very diverse and is well-known in all gulf countries. So it's prepared in different ways with different ingredients, and this is just one way. Another delicious way of preparing it (my favorite) is by replacing chicken with small pieces (about 2-3 inch) of lamb or goat and adding about 15 to 30 minutes to the cooking time depending on the meat. These small cuts are not what you would normally find in a butcher shop, and they're typically found in Halal meat stores and Hadramaut or Syriaan stores. I personally don't use carrots, and sometimes even make it without tomato puree or tomato paste (it's actually called red Kabsa when tomatoes are used and white Kabsa when they aren't).

The spice blend is called Baharat, which literally translates to "spices" in Arabic. Not every one uses saffron and often it's added to make it fancier in special occasions. To get the yellow color of saffron for a MUCH lower price, we usually use ground...

The brinjal has full explosive flavour, goes very well with the briyani rice too. Chicken was also super tender even for the breast meat. Everything was so delicious. Shop was decorated with Arab atmosphere. However the inside of the shop was very warm, therefore we decided to sit outside instead.
You just have to come here to...
Read moreWe visited a fantastic Egyptian restaurant named Nur AI-Islam Arab Kluang that left a lasting impression, especially with its Lamb Shank. The lamb was incredibly tender, falling off the bone, and packed with rich, savory flavors. Paired with fragrant rice and fresh, warm naan, the meal was a perfect balance of texture and taste. The naan was soft and slightly crispy, ideal for dipping in the lamb sauce. Despite the high-quality food, the prices were surprisingly affordable, making it an excellent value for money. The atmosphere was cozy, and the service was friendly, making the overall experience absolutely delightful. Highly...
