Pros:
- Delicious food with a variety of menu options
- Excellent service
- Decent decorations
- Reasonable prices
- Fast cooking

Cons:
- Limited parking lot
- Only one shisha staff (but he is very nice, polite and good service)

Overall:
My favorite middle-east restaurant in Kuala Lumpur (or even Malaysia) has delicious food at reasonable prices, with generous portions that are perfect for sharing. The staff is friendly and attentive.

I appreciate the shisha guy who blows the dust inside the shisha bowl for you every time he comes to change the charcoal which helps the shisha last longer. This is a nice touch that ensures a smooth and enjoyable smoking experience.

I also like that the restaurant has decent decorations. This creates a pleasant and inviting atmosphere for dining.

I don’t recommend bringing your car here, not just this restaurant but this area is quite busy during the weekend, so it is hard to find a nearby parking lot.

PS. I don’t know if it 's normal or not but fajita here is quite salty compared to other restaurants.

Very nice restaurant, helpful staff and tasty food. Also portions are big, enough for one man. You can hear soft classic music when eat, but it not interfere talking, so I guess it is a great place for first date or business meeting

I recently dined at Halab KL, located in the heart of Bukit Bintang, for the first time. Finding parking was a bit of a challenge, but I managed to park at Park Royal Residence, which is about 400m away from the restaurant. The ambiance inside was cozy and inviting. What truly stood out, however, was the delicious Arabic cuisine.

Having never tasted Arabic food in the Middle East, I've explored several Arabic restaurants in Malaysia, including Hadramawt Palace, Barakat Hadramawt, Hadramawt Waterfront, Bread and Olive in Malacca, and Al Jamal in Nilai Negeri Sembilan. Among them, Halab KL has undoubtedly been the best in my experience.

During my visit, I ordered the chicken Mandi, lamb kebab, and shawarma. The waiter informed me that the shawarma would take some extra time to prepare, which I didn't mind. However, after enjoying the chicken Mandi and lamb kebab, we were already quite full and had to take the shawarma home.

The chicken Mandi was a delight. The fragrant rice was perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of salt and herbs. The chicken was cooked well, although some parts were slightly dry. The portion size, in my opinion, was generous and suitable for two people.

The lamb kebab was excellently seasoned and paired wonderfully with pita bread and garlic sauce. The accompanying salad complemented the kebab nicely.

Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with Halab KL and will definitely return. As a fan of Arabic cuisine, this restaurant exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delightful Arabic dining experience in Malaysia.

If you are new to Arab cuisine, don’t hesitate to ask the staff for recommendations or explanations of unfamiliar dishes. They will be more than happy to assist you and ensure you have a pleasant dining experience.

Arab cuisine is known for its rich flavors, aromatic spices, and diverse dishes that vary from one region to another. Enjoy the delicious food and embrace the hospitality of Arab cuisine!

Located in the heart of Bukit Bintang. They provide free parking in a building next to this restaurant if you dine here. The food tasted amazing, the place was filled with multicultural people from all sorts of race and tourists dining in. We ordered the lamb kebab & mandi chicken. Portion given was huge with very reasonable price paired with a nice hot green tea in this beautiful antique teapot. My friend and I totally had a great time here due to the service provided by Kamanul. He was so friendly and attentive, catering to us the until his shift ended. He made sure we were enjoying the food and explained to us when we don't know what's in the menu. Even gave us a complimentary fruits before we leave. Such a wonderful experience dining here, feels like you've traveled to middle east already with such an excellent service from him. 👍🏻

Came here the first time for my first year anniversary celebration. Am impressed by the food presentation and interior. Food is good, love the lamb wrapped veggie (forgot the name of the dish). Adeni tea is thick and creamy, and mild sweet, a bit to dense that it makes my stomach a bit uncomfortable post meal. Nevertheless I still enjoy dining here. Friendly staff as well. Place is a bit packed and everyone has to move around carefully.

The culinary experience at this establishment offers a delectable glimpse into the rich and flavorful world of Syrian cuisine. The food is nothing short of amazing, with each dish delivering an explosion of authentic tastes and aromas. The service is truly top-notch, with attentive staff ensuring that every need and request is met promptly and with a warm smile. Beyond the food and service, the ambiance of the restaurant is a delightful addition to the overall experience. It creates a welcoming and pleasant atmosphere, allowing diners to fully immerse themselves in the enjoyment of their meal. From the mouthwatering dishes to the exceptional service and the delightful ambiance, dining here is a thoroughly satisfying and memorable experience that will keep you coming back for more.
