Al Rawsha Restaurant

I was once awake at 4.30am and needed to eat — a friend told me to go to Al-​Rawsha. Well, well, well, what a surreal experience. As Lebanese restaurants go, I feel like there are plenty of places that do it better (the menu is wide and varied with different options which yet somehow seem very same-​y.)
My lamb mandi tasted funny that night because they didn’t have mandi rice and had to substitute it with briyani rice — not what I wanted, but still edible. To add to the pure bizarreness of this kitschy castle-​like exterior, the interior is cavernous and massive, clearly capable of handling hundreds of diners. There’s even an upstairs area!

The exterior of this restaurant looks like a castle so you may be wondering what kind of cuisine would be served here. Well, its a Lebanese restaurant which serves good food at good prices.
I have come here on numerous occasions with my family and have ordered takeaway too. We always order the Chicken Shawarma which is yummy with the meat crispy on the outside and still juicy on the inside. The spices used to marinate the meat are not overpowering but rather complementary.
Unlike many people who love chicken mandy rice, I actually prefer boneless chicken so I always order Kabsa Rice with Sheesh Tawook (RM25). The portion is quite big and my husband and I will always share this dish. Being Malaysian, I am somewhat used to having a ‘gravy’ poured over my rice (be it curry or broth) but Lebanese cuisine is somewhat dry. So I do sometimes order one of their less well-​known side dishes like Moulokiya Chicken (RM16) which is tasty and has some gravy.
They have a wide selection of drinks including fresh juices starting from RM10. Once we tried to order delivery but after placing an order and waiting half an hour, the restaurant called me back and said they don’t have a delivery boy. I found this irritating as they should have told me upfront instead of making me wait for my food which never came. But other than this one incident, I have had only good experiences here and also appreciate the fact that they have clean toilets and a kids playroom.

I have seen this restaurant many times but have never tried it until today. Due to how the restaurant looks from the outside, I always thought it was going to be really expensive but I found out today that it isn’t so!
I went with three other friends — we shared a lamb mandy (RM25), grilled lamb shawarma (RM10), an extra plate of Kebsa rice (RM8), a pot of mint tea (RM10), and pistachio ice cream (RM15).
To begin with, the lamb mandy was awesome! My friend told us that the lamb will «melt in your mouth» — slightly exaggerated but it truly is so tender! Goes so well with the rice too, which by the way, was equally amazing. For RM25, it was very well worth the money. We finished the rice with remaining extra lamb meat — so we decided to order an extra bowl of a different type of rice (Kebsa) which didn’t turn out as good as the first one. We however ended up not having enough lamb meat — so you can assume that the lamb meat was somewhat sufficient for 1.5 plates/​bowls of rice.
The grilled shawarma was also so good! The mint tea wasn’t anything too spectacular but was a good drink for our meal. We ended by sharing the pistachio ice cream, which is a little expensive but it was something unique and it tasted pretty good.
The restaurant is fairly spacious and they also have a parking lot for customers. We went on a Wednesday night so it wasn’t so busy and we had fast service — I don’t know what it’s like on weekends.
Well… I am already looking forward to coming here again!

Al Rawsha restaurant is famous with the lebanese cuisine. The restaurant located at Kampung Pandan Kuala lumpur. it’s operate ²⁴⁄₇. Wow if you craving for arab dish you can go here.
As usual, all restaurant nowadays they provide wifi internet. so if you want to do a meeting or do your assignment here is the place. But you know what? suprisingly, they have a delivery service. wowww a middle east cuisine have delivery service but is only available around Kuala Lumpur.
How’s the foods taste like? foods is good but they should and recommend us the ‘DALCA’ or something that we can eat with. I love to eat their mandhi chicken because it’s simple and incredible.
They create the cozy ambiance so that we can relax our mind with their music plays on. They do provide indoor and outdoor sitting. Some of them are friendly and some of them are not.

I came here to celebrate the occassion with my co-​workers. We came here for dinner which is always full house, luckly we get our table reserved before came.
This restaurant famous with their middle east menu. I tried Chicken Mandy; the rice is not like typical rice but they used traditional Hadramaut earth baked rice that taste so good plus the chicken cooked and seasoned well. I also tried their chicken kebab wrap. Also worth to try. Overall the food and drink are good and worth the price. There are a lot of menu that i should give a try if i come here again .
The facilities such prayer rooms and toilet also good.
The environment in the restaurant, i could say just fine. Not so loud and not so quiet. The restaurant has 2 floors. which is large enough to make any occasions here.
But, the only problem to eat here is, the restaurant is too big yet. the parking is so limited. Limited parking and hard to find parking outside the restaurant since there are just small road in front of the restaurant.
