Zam Zam Restaurant, Arabic Cuisine

We received a wedding invitation from a friend, but unfortunately we couldn't be able to make it since we'll be having some other plan during that weekend. Since the wedding ceremony will be held at a special place that we've just heard about it, so we decided to make a try ourselves..hehe..

Arabic Food Spotted!
Off we went to Zam Zam Restaurant of Arabic Cuisine for dinner. It's a new restaurant, just started operating their business about a month ago. It's located in one of the new building named Oasis 9, in Seksyen 9 Shah Alam. We don't even know of the existence of Oasis 9 before, so it's quite new to us actually..For those first timer like us, the restaurant is located at the back lot of McD Seksyen 9, opposites of Plaza Massalam and Concorde Hotel.

Once we arrived, there were many other customers having meals. Some of them are Arabs or maybe Lebanese. But, don't be surprised that there are many Malays as well! Malaysians like to eat Arabic Cuisine I guess! Before making the order, we thought that we'll be spending quite a lot for dinner this time. Just look at the restaurant, looks like for high-end and the food must be expensive.

The waiter were very efficient, came within seconds bringing out the menu. After few minutes letting us to decide, came another man (the owner) asking for orders in Malay! Great! Surprisingly, the price is quite reasonable, more or less the same like other Arabic Cuisine we've been before in Shah Alam area.

Variety of foods being offered, from starter, salads, kebabs up to Mandy and Kabsa. Difficult to choose as all seems delicious and should give a try.
Lamb Kabsha

Chicken Mandy
Lastly, I decided to have Chicken Mandy while hubby opt for Lamb Kabsa. Mine costs RM18; consists of a place of Mandy Rice-quite a big portion, with half chicken! OMG,  spoil my diet! And for hubby, just RM15 for the same set except he's having the lamb. Both chicken and lamb were very soft and nicely cooked! Oh yes, they serve the rice with a small plate of sauce and yogurt. Nyum nyum!

As we look around, we noticed that they also offer a big plate of rice, which can be shared with 2-3 people. Practical for those we don't eat much and cannot finish the meal alone. Mind you, when I say the portion is big, it is big..hehe

The restaurant interior was quite exclusive and nice. Oh yes, they also have another special place for those VIPs or for those having parties or wedding ceremony-like what will be held in 2 weeks. The big hall is located on the upper floor.

For drinks, we had normal drinks only. Quite expensive for the drinks-juice for about RM10-15, whereby the cheapest drink you can find costs you RM4! hoho..

Overall, very nice restaurant. Taste? Delicious & Great!! Not bad at all! Wanna know how much did we spent this time?


It's RM42! Quite cheap to compare with any other Arabic Restaurant. Btw, can you noticed something from the receipt? There's no service tax or GST! That's good!

So, why not you give it a try yourself.
