The following are updated prior to August 2023. My Iraqi friend introduced me to this place and what a goldmine of a restaurant. (shout out to her!) TLDR Version Price 8/10 Flavour 10/10 Craving 8.7/10 Total: 8.9/10 Full review: There are a huge improvement on their existing dishes especially their alqas menu! I recently tried the alqas chicken and holy moly what a explosion of flavor that compliment each other. The garlic sauce, marinated chicken, the beetroot, onion, and tahini sauce combine into a craving yet powerful flavour, especially the beetroot giving a hint of sweetness while onion giving the spiciness. The alqas portion are above average and trust me it won't be enough since you gonna finished it within minutes. I tried the chicken, beef and mixed shawarma, the mix is overall the best since you get both for a chicken and beef for the price of beef shawarma. The blend of both chicken and beef is out of the world, chicken is often dry but with the juiciness of the beef remove the dryness of the chicken making a juicy bite with each time you take a bite. Their menu stayed the same but their flavor wise improved significantly. Oh they don't include fries in their dishes so those who are used to shawarma loaded with fries, some might avoid because of this but trust me, the vegetable out weight the fries. Beware the juiciness of their food might cause some liquid dripping! Order 1 large mix shawarma and 1 chicken alqas. Enjoy the flavor...

I usually don’t really eat shawarma but my husband does every time we visits KL since he’s Syrian.

Saw a lot of places selling shawarma around Bukit Bintang but this one caught our eyes since it’s less crowded because we were never the kind of person who follows the crowds so we chose to eat here.

I ordered beef shawarma, my husband ordered the chicken and sujuk shawarma. They make everything fresh upon order. Everything was good. Beef wasn’t dry at all, I personally like the flavor and the molasses makes it taste even better.

Tried a bite of the sujuk one, just not my cup of tea but doesn’t mean it’s bad, also my husband said the chicken shawarma was good but didn’t tried it myself because I’m not chicken breast kind of person.

Overall, the food was good definitely will come back but the place is just extremely hot even tho it was kind of raining but again expected since I sat in front of the charcoal stove, I don’t have problem with anything else since it’s street food so I know what...
