Zalqa Penang-Arabic Restaurant

Unclaimed

Best Arabic food I’ve had in Penang. Everything was so delicious and fresh. Service was great. Our server, Rafi, was very nice, attentive and helpful. They have an oven baking their own pitta bread which was super fresh and delicious. The lamb was tasty. Rafi brought us some broth to pour over the lamb and rice which made the dish more moist and we really enjoyed it. We ordered soup, salad, and two main dishes. The combination was fantastic as you get to taste many different meats. I highly recommend it for those of you foodies out there. Atmosphere was good. We got there around 7 pm and by the time we left it got much busier. We’ll definitely go there again and highly recommend it.

Love the food here! It open till late…this my 4th time here and still my favourite place for arabic cuisine. Dont forget to order their shawarma and the tea is awesome. Thanks to Sumon who service us

Special appreciation toward Mr Kanon for beutiful arrangement for my wife birthday and song by all staff. Last minute reschedule reservation and being very nice to me. Food already order pre dine in. Really good main course and dessert.

I went with my family of 6, we went for dinner at first we thought we couldn’t be seated because we have to make a reservation for a big family but since we didn’t we asked for the staffs if there was any way we can be seated and they found a perfect place for us. 5 stars for the friendly staff and their service. For the food we ordered a variety from the rice options and also from the breads and sides. A plate of rice and it’s portion is perfect for 2 people, whereby the huge bread which they said was their customer favorite was huge and was perfect for my family of 6. The sizzling lamb was also delicious had the Arab kick to it, but isn’t my favorite. The rice set which I ordered is chicken Zhurbian and Mindi chicken were good. Loved the aromatic flavors of the rice. The chicken was a little dry but no big deal. All the drinks were good, the shakes were also great. The dessert options weren’t many but the cream caramel dessert I ordered was quite mid and isn’t my favorite dessert out of all of them probably. Such an authentic restaurant, perfect for business meeting too if made a reservation earlier. Overall a 4.5 stars.

Nice place liked the decorations and designs Many dishes are in the menu to pick Liked the soup and the hummus The shawarma was good too. Sadly was too full to try deserts Good for family couples and solos
