Cravings for a big meaty meal in the heart of Kuala Lumpur? Al-Rawsha Restaurant serves some delectable lamb dishes as well as an assortment of Lebanese cuisine in a laid back open air atmosphere.
Al-Rawsha Restaurant
As you can see, there is lots of room outside to accommodate for large groups as well.
Open Air Concept
There was a large list of drinks to sample, from fresh fruit juices
Sandy - Fruit Juice
to interesting pots of tea that are served in small “beer-like” mugs
Tea pot with tiny cups
to non-alcoholic malt drinks which resemble bottles of beer. Of course, being non-alcoholic, the Barbican comes in a variety of fruity flavours. We tried the apple-flavoured Barbican which tasted quite like a fizzy apple juice.

For appetizers, we picked out some of their dips such as Hummus (ground chick-peas and sesame oil flavoured with lemon and garlic) and Mutabel (brinjal and sesame oil flavoured with lemon and garlic). The Hummus had a very smooth texture with flavours that were just right. Falafels are typically made of fried balls of spiced fava beans and/or chickpeas. The outer later was crisp and fried whilst leaving the inside nice and warm.

We ordered a Lamb Shawarma Plate (also served in chicken variety). Underneath the mountain of lamb was some pita bread. The lamb was cooked through and charred sufficiently which gave it extra taste. For this dish you could wrap the ingredients from the plate with the pita bread.

The Lamb Mandy is one of my favourites and is quite popular with customers in this restaurant. The lamb is very tender and definitely a must-try if it is your first time to the restaurant. The long-grain rice could go well with some sauces but the main focus here is on the lamb which slides right off the bone.

Yes there is! A landmark nearby would be Ampang Park and it is near the High Commission for the People’s Republic of Bangladesh off Jalan Ampang.

Hey.. Seems like cool place to have variety of foods.. Do you do catering? Of maybe dinner for 30-50 persons and food delivery?
steve-0, 1 year ago
heyas AD, I think its best you call them up. The outdoor seating area is rather large so I think spacewise they should be able to accomodate.

I’ve been there a few times and no doubt it’s one of the best Arab restaurants in KL! Just want to add though, that the lamb mandy is actually a trademark Yemeni dish, and the cook in Al Rawsha restaurant himself is from Yemen. Mandy is a hot topic among Arab food customers and now locals are asking for it in any Arab restaurants they go. So the Arab restaurant owners have taken note and make sure that mandy is on their list (and also makes sure to hire Yemeni cooks)eventhough it is not their traditional country of origin’s dish.

Steve-0 Just wondering, during Iftar this year, besides the buffet, do you have ala-carte as well to cater for those small eaters? I really hope you have as we all know how big is the portion Arab foods can be. Please advise. Many thanks!

If U love Arab Food, why not try @ Tanjung Village Food Court, Jalan PJU 5/13, Kota Damansara (near Sunway Giza, next to multi-storey carpark)?
steve-0, 1 year ago
MN, Sorry, have been away lately. Might have to contact them directly to give a proper indication on the portion sizes and ala carte menus.
Susan, thanks for the recommendation! What would you recommend to try there?
