Al-Amar Express

Stopped by Al-Amar Express at Pavilion and tried the lamb rice and chicken rice (sorry, I forgot the exact names 😅). Both were super flavorful, lots of herbs and spices, really tasty! But the portion was huge, especially for someone like me who eats small 😂 The price is normal, not too pricey for mall food. The place itself is just okay, but it felt pretty hot at night, even with the AC and fan on 😭. On the bright side, the waitress and staff were helpful and friendly, which made the experience better overall. If you’re into Middle Eastern-style rice dishes, it’s worth a try!

Loved the beef kebab. Other food that we ordered also were great, with fast service. You can easily find this restaurant at Bukit Bintang road as it located near the entrance of Fehrenheit88. Just maybe a bit hot as without aircond (open air restaurant).

Decided to stop by this place which was quite quiet on a weekday afternoon. It is quite dimly lit, and wished it could be colder as outside is quite hot. We decided to try the Beef shwarma with fries (sliced option) and the Chicken shwarma with fries (rolled option), as well as order a hummus. Was pleasantly surprised the hummus came with 5 piping hot fluffy pita breads, which made us quite full before we even started our main courses of beef and chicken. Recommend to order just one shwarma and fries plate with hummus if you want to try both ! Shwarma rolls and slices came with their mild garlic mayonnaise, which was quite plain but it grows on you with each bite. We took our leftovers to go and they still tasted good cold at the end of the night. Would prefer the rolled option for the shwarma with fries as they roll tomato and pickles in with the shwarma , whereas for the sliced option you have to roll the slices yourself with tomato and pickle on the side. Highly recommend the hummus, was a large portion and leaves a highly creamy aftertaste in your mouth. Sesame and chickpeas were very smoothly blended. Drinks here are quite expensive though compared to the food prices which are worth it. Would come again for the hummus and chicken shawarma :)

I had an extremely horrible take-away experience. For starters, we were not informed that we had to wait for more than half an hour for a take-away meal order (the irony of it is that this is supposedly an express joint). Moreover the cashier who assisted us (the name listed in the bill suggests her name is Anis) a lady with glasses, sprayed water onto us in a waiting area where we were at, she only apologized later. What made the experience even worse was the meal that we ordered (mixed grill with fries), there were sharp plastic shards all over the pita bread that comes with the meal. I've attached a picture of these unidentified plastic shards enclosed with this review, which I stumbled upon while eating the bread. I would strongly advise everyone to make sure they think twice about ordering meals from here, be it dine in or take away service. Extremely disappointed.

Craving something different while soaking in the vibrant vibes of Bukit Bintang? This is the perfect spot to unwind, watch the crowd go by, and savour authentic, flavorful Lebanese dishes. I ordered the Chicken Khabbseh. The chicken was incredibly juicy, and the rice was rich with aromatic Middle Eastern spices. The hint of heat from the chili and freshness from the tomatoes balanced the dish perfectly. Every bite was deeply satisfying and full of flavor. The service was fast, and the staff were friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. Definitely a must-try for anyone looking to indulge in delicious Lebanese cuisine in the heart of the city.

This is the first restaurant I tried upon arriving to Bukit Bintang. Ordered cheese pizza and chicken kebab with Biryani rice. The resto had a nice ambiance. However, the airconditioning can be improved. Serving was fast and food was delicious!

Didn’t have high expectations when I decided to try this restaurant but it ended up being one of the best decisions. The food was all top notch. I’m not someone who eats middle eastern cuisine often so the food really won me over. 1. You have got to try the Hommos. It comes with a generous amount of hummus with olive oil in the middle. The unleavened bread is 10/10 nice! 2. The kafta with cheese under “The Saj “ which has lamb meat and melted Lebanese cheese. The lamb doesn’t have a strong taste and it’s served pipping hot and best eaten hot. 10/10 3. The Shawarma with rice mixed beef and chicken with rice is delicious. The chicken is very flavorful and the dip really enhances the taste. What I love is that there are 4 rude options to choose from. We chose Mandi rice which has a Smokey taste. Excellent! 4. Tabbouleh - really refreshing salad with lemon It cleanses the palate from the meats and helps in digestion. Good to order to balance the taste. 8/10 5. Lebanese coffee - get the pot. 8/10 6. Barbican peach - non alcoholic beer. 10/10 it’s very tasty and good with the food Will come back again. Don’t need to consider. Just order what I ordered and you’ll love it.

The day we went to eat in the restaurant was very hot. They had to turn on the fan to help but waiter did not turn the fan towards our table. It was so hot that we could not breathe, but it was cool outside but the waiter did not tell us to go sit outside. We ordered water for almost 20 minutes and still did not get it
