Best Kebabs in Melaka

Bamboo Hut Bistro, a pub that occupies the same building as an exceptional three star boutique hotel. It is also surrounded by captivating historical landmarks, and best of all, within walking distance! Moreover, if you're keen on live band performances while jazz music fill the air, this is the place that you should set foot in. In terms of food, various cuisines are offered here. The kebab for instance, with its succulent meat threaded on lemongrass, instead of wooden skewers, makes it more fragrant and a house-make dipping sauce.   

Dima Restaurant, an eatery that specializes in Arabian and Middle Eastern cuisines. Name anything from a vegetarian “Tabouleh Salad” to a substantial “Madghot Lamb with rice”, it is fully prepared with pages of menu items to please your taste buds! Indulge into the real taste of Arabian here today with a platter of Mix Grilled Kebab. Meat lovers would definitely fall in love with this tantalizing plateful of lamb chop and Shish Kebab, with a flavourful marinated chicken and beef chunks. And this kebab makes a superb accompaniment to the pita bread that it is served with.

Hadramawt Palace was established in 2012 and launches its first branch in Melaka early last year. Similarly, this is a Middle Eastern Restaurant, but it features mainly Yemeni cuisines. You can get a comprehensive list of that from here. While Yemeni cuisines are particularly sought-after for its tenderness and juicyness, the mix platter kebab, served alongside fries and dipping sauce, is definitely not to be missed!

An eatery that is frequented by majority of the local people here, despite operating as an Arabian restaurant. Among some of the highly recommended dishes here is the kebab. Given a considerable serving with charred outer layer resulted from grilling, it is indeed palatable regardless of how it looks.

With the dim lightings and a conspicuous mock-up tree placed at the center, Sizzling Stonegrill brings back the vibe of walking into a jungle. Unlike any other kebab joints, there are two dining options here, at the usual ground floor level or eating at a slightly higher level under a built-in hut supported by stilts inside this restaurant itself! In relation to the food here, since it’s grilled on stones, there’s no oil and fat application in the preparation of the dishes. Additionally, you get to witness the preparation of the dishes here, because you will be the one grilling on the stonegrill! Just get that raw chunks of marinated meat and start grilling. Otherwise, get the delectable Grilled Chicken Kebab, prepared by an experienced chef instead!

If you had been to Bangkok before, you probably would have heard of “Moo Ping”, a finger food that is almost ubiquitous on the streets. If you have not and are wondering where to look for it if not in Bangkok, this awesome grilled pork treat can be found at Kuay Tiaw Zabb as well. It makes a perfect appetizer and even a snack that will fill you up for several hours before lunch and dinner time kicks in, with its dainty size woven basket that comes with a portion of sticky rice. Moreover, the pork meat is made with an excellent composition of lean meat, fat and muscle, more than adequately seasoned and while some may prefer, it does not need a dipping sauce at all.
