Restaurant In House - Arabic Cuisine (Solaris Damansara)


Solaris Damansara is not an area I frequent very often  and since I was already here, I might as well try out any one of the restaurants among the many available.  This Arabic restaurant was tempting enough for me to be seated and in split seconds, a pleasant staff came with the menu.  The word "Shisha" was prominent on the menu which I completely brushed off although the few customers here were busy inhaling the smoke from it.  Flipping the menu over and over for some time, I had to decide on what to order. I would have gone for some of the lamb dishes but the portions looked way out for someone who is such a small eater like me.



I wanted some small servings with more varieties.  This got me to order the:
Sambosak Lamb
Bak Lawa
Mango Lassi
Arabic Coffee
The sambosak was actually fried spring rolls with three types of fillings available - chicken, lamb and cheese.   Mine was with the lamb, rolled into a crispy and crunchy pastry .
All was fine, it was just that I would have preferred some spicy taste from the sauce rather then the commercial one the rolls came with. While having these rolls, I was sipping the refreshing mango lassi.  
The baklawa was simply superb, a thin layer of sweet tasting peanut filling, with a thick pastry at the bottom and a puffed one on top.
A very rich tasting dessert, over the top in sweetness and fat content but good though.
 Even with the tiny 5 pieces on the plate, I struggled to finish only 3.
The cardamom flavored Arabic coffee gave a  nice and settled down  finale to this lunch meal.  Customer service wise, good at the beginning but sliding down towards the end.
I paid RM38.50  at this restaurant situated at:
A2-G1-05, Solaris Dutamas
Jalan Dutamas 1
Off  Jalan Duta
50480 Kuala Lumpure
Tel:  016-6031436
