the place felt cozy and clean. The food was tasty, especially their main dish, but some portions were a bit small. Overall, it was a nice experience, and I would go again.
We had a great experience at My Arab Kitchen Restaurant. The hummus was delicious and creamy, and the shawarma was full of flavor. The lamb with rice was also very tasty. We ordered a shisha too. It lasted a long time and we really enjoyed it. The staff were so kind and welcoming. I definitely recommend this place!
The best shisha in Kundasang. While your body wrap in the chill environment of kundasang, shisha and arabic tea will be the perfect combination for the night. Will come again for sure.
Great place! During our stay in Kindasang we visited My Arab Kitchen a lot. There are not a lot of people, the staff is really nice and 1 table has a great view of the mountains! The food was so good, especially the tea and the dough (the Arabic Pizza dough is the best). Very happy
Overall, very good service! The restaurant is family-friendly — my kids can enjoy playing while we dine in, which makes it a pleasant experience. I also appreciate that the owner, who is originally Arabic, keeps the authenticity in the food. Another meaningful point is that they allocate 5% of their sales to support Gaza. Truly a restaurant with not only delicious food but also a kind heart. Highly recommended!
My husband and I did not expect to find good food in such a touristy place. We had a wonderful dinner at My Arab Kitchen. We chose the two courses: Chicken with Rice and Beef with Rice were very tasty and well balanced. For the starter Hummus (chickpeas purée) was rich and delicious. The dessert Knafeh chocolate was the perfect finish. Service was fast , friendly and attentive. Highly recommended, will come back again !
Food was pretty authentic and amazing. We enjoyed the mandi lamb rice, zattar bread and pita with hummus-and I have to specially recommend the hummus! It was so tasty, made fresh every day and smooth. I would probably say the best hummus I've ever tasted. Must try! Spacious seating with beautiful view of the Mount Kinabalu too. ????????????????????????????????????????????????
Authentic arab food! Their kabsa and mandy rice are delicious too, but a bit small servings size really good kunafa too. Beef and chicken shawarma are delicious too!
