So anyway, I decided just to dine out with one other friend who was going with me to the gathering. We went to this Arabian restaurant in Kemang, the owner and him were old best friends, twenty sth years together in Yaman, so he said. Being the owner and one of the chef him self, the restaurant offers pretty authentic and original Arabian food taste.
Kurma was served, Mint Tea ; Tamarin for drinks. Their Kebab served with Hommus was yummy, even for me who doesn't really in to lamb. I ordered Fattet Dajaj (chicken fillet, rice, yoghurt, fried bread, special spices) and I love it !!! It's actually only appetizer, doesn't look that much but we weren't able to finish a half of it ahahaha..
Another unique drinks I didn't have the space to have was Sahlab, basically made from milk, sugar, pistachios and a sprinkle of cinnamon).
It was a quite a heavy meal with pretty intense chat too, hence I didn't take pics except this one :D (I couldn't remember the name of the food ahahha)
The owner was really friendly, he speaks fluent Indonesia, English, Arab of course, and French (OMG!!).
Should you look for different eating experience, Arabian food is a good choice.
I surely recommend this restaurant !
Happy trying ^^

They have 2 sitting area, one of them is glass proofed while I was in the other one next to the street so it was kinda a bit hot and noisy.
Except that,
food taste great, Arabian decoration, plus the restaurant is in Kemang hotspot area, it's really practical to walk around after having such a heavy meal.
I've never eaten arabian food before , but want to try someday . Thx for review
sounds interesting..
must be nice. thanks for the info!
ps you're invited to comment on my post too. =)
i tried it this afternoon for lunch with my office mate.. we order mixed bbq, Fattet Dajaj, drinks like thai ice tea, arabian rice and arabian omelete.we need to wait very long..for about 30 mnts for the food to be ready but it was equal to the taste..so delicious..yummie!! ^0^
and the price ranges are affordable.. the highest price is for the bbq IDR 95,000++, you can share it with your friends since the portion is big for 1 person only.
they charge you extra 3% for paying the bills with debit card and the tax is 13% (incl service tax) less cheaper than restaurant in the mall who charge you 15.5%.
i will come again someday.. just hoping they wont take a long time to prepare the food :)
