Arab Kitchen - Alor Setar

1st time went here for a western food here quite ok but 2nd time been here for a western and ikan bakar found out the ikan bakar (jenahak) quite disappointed due to the fish was grilled for a long time even before any customer make an order for it. As you can see in the picture, the taste was ok for me, portion all ok, price ok but due to the fish was over and over grilled then it is spoiled. The service was so fast and no wonder suddenly even grilled fish also come very fast because the fish already there grilled for you even you still at home. So as for me, come here avoid to choose the ikan bakar or you have to pay for a over and over grilled ikan bakar. (In the picture you can see I ate almost everything due to I am traveling from morning until evening and didn't have a lunch/ dinner or heavy meals just to have a dinner here with my family so that why even a fish was over grilled I didn't waste it)

Those who are new to the area of Kepala Batas, Jitra and neighbouring areas should take note that the name of this eatery does not offer any Arab cuisine or any Mediterranean dishes alike. Instead, this restaurant is famous for their shell out and ikan bakar. Prepare yourself to dig into delicious seafood (a bit messy eating style) prepared in their special sauce to be eaten with white rice. You need to queue first to order and in between if you add order, they will add on the paper given for the later payment to be made.

Plenty parking spaces. Easy and simple ordering system. Drinks served quite fast during moderate crowded time. Great place for hangout with friends and families.

The parking space are spacious most of my family decided to eat western but its turn out that western food are unavailable at that moment. Only have pasta and their signature dish which is shellout. I read alot of very good review about shellout and I think because of that review, my expectation was over the moon. In my humble opinion, their shellout is so overrated. Nothing special about it. The sauce semua cukup rasa, nothing so special about the sauce. Also, I think the aglio olio used to much quantity of herbs yang menenggelamkan rasa aglio olio tu. As for bolognese pasta, its a thumbs up. Keep it up, Arab Kitchen!

Great shell out experience. Pure seafood no vege at all the kind that we like. The fruit juice is also quite a big portion for RM4.99. Shell out is RM38.90 for 2 persons. There are other menus too we'll try that next time, in sya Allah...
