This was the first time I visited this place and was confused because all my friends recommended me the pasta, in a Middle Eastern food restaurant. I insisted on ordering the same themed food as the restaurant, so I ordered a dish called Shishtawok.

It is apparently an Arabic barbecue chicken dish marinated with herbs and spices before it is grilled. Aside from the chicken, it is served with Arabic bread, salads, and garlic dipping. I didn't know the proper way to eat this dish so I tried my own way. I hate salad, so I put them away. Then, I cut the chicken pieces inside the triangle cut shaped bread, dashed with enough amount of garlic dipping (or I prefer to call it sauce). The chicken was ok. The herbs and spices flavor tasted similar to tandoori chicken but not as strong. The garlic sauce was lacking of the main star flavor which is garlic and tasted all oily. Overall, the dish was lacking flavor.

I tried to taste my friend's carbonara pasta and the flavor punched right through my tongue. I guess it's the work of the MSG because my friend felt so thirsty some moments after we were out of the restaurant.

Although I don't smoke, I observed that this place is also famous for their shisha and vape. They allow you to vape indoor after 11.30 PM.
