Best Kebabs in KL

Written by Updated ago

The very mention of kebab usually conjures images of meat being slowly roasted over a rotating spit, filling the air with the rich, smoky aroma of charred beef or lamb. A dish considered to be of Turkish origin, it is usually served in pita bread with tomato, onion, sumac, pickled cucumber and drizzled in sauces. This type of kebab is the Doner kebab, which is commonly sold as a fast-food item. There’s more to kebabs than just the Doner, with Shish kebab (skewered grilled meat) and Adana kebabi (minced-meat kebab), just to name a few. Spanning from the Levant to the Middle East and South Asia, each region has its unique variant of the kebab set with distinct flavours from the use of different ingredients and cooking methods.

    The man behind Ali Baba’s Kebab Restaurant is an Iranian who has lived in Kuala Lumpur for over 10 years.

Juicy and tender to the bite, the kebab is served with fries and slaw on the side. Definitely worth confronting a band of 40 thieves for a mouthful! The restaurant also offers hookah smoking.

    Renowned for their authentic Iranian cuisine and impressive interior design, the kebabs served here are remarkably splendid. Hot from the grill and succulent from all that slow roasting, the Chicken Koobideh Wrap is served in a toasted round flat bread with a contrasting Shirazi salad and a garlic flavoured yoghurt. Equally notable is the mouth-watering Lamb Koobideh Kebab – a minced lamb kebab that is sure to delight you with its robust flavour of lamb, chopped onions and parsley. A trip to this restaurant will evoke thoughts of magic lamps and flying carpets.
