My family & I were invited for dinner at Marhaba Restaurant, a Yemeni Cuisine which is widely known as Middle Eastern Cuisines. Turned out to be a birthday celebration for my god sis's hubby. I wouldn't know about this place if it's not for the invitation.
It was a long walk to the restaurant if you park your car in the shopping mall (near Daiso). There's actually a parking space right next to the restaurant but we only came to know about it when we arrived (great excuse to walk back after a full meal).
The interior of the restaurant looks sophisticated and elegant. There's a Majlas, a private place where guests are received and entertained in an Arabic Traditional way. This room is where the guests can sit on the cushions.
A long table was reserved for our arrival, as well as the birthday boy.
Complimentary lamb soup, raw carrots, cucumber and onions (dipped with sauces) were given as starters. Not a fan of the soup as I find the soup a bit too rich and oily to my liking, although few of the guest likes it. Mint tea is provided too as a complimentary.
Mulauwah (RM7 for Small or RM12 for Big), or known as fresh Yemeni bread. It's pretty much like 'Roti Canai'...but a a much bigger version. There was Ruthub (Soft Yemeni bread - RM10) but no picture taken since everyone was hungry and I was sitting at the far end of the table when the bread was served in the middle. >.<
We have Lamb Moqalqal (RM40), fried lamb cubes in fragrant traditional Yemeni spices cooked in oven. This dish is really good! The only complaint we have is that the sauce was not enough for everyone although there were three pots on the table. (Sorry, no pictures again)
Fatoush (RM16) - Lavantine bread salad served with fresh mixed greens. It was okay but some find it a bit sour.
Ethan boy decided to entertain us singing a birthday song to his daddy :)
Finally, we finished our meal with a birthday cake for desserts...a home made mille crepe cake! Delicious!!!
Ethan boy sings another happy birthday song to his dear daddy. Such a sweetie. :)
Overall, its a nice restaurant with beautiful interior and delicious food. We all have a fabulous dining experience. Big thanks to my god sis and her family for the invitation. :)
