Best Nasi Arab in Johor Bahru (JB)

Zaituna has only appeared on Glacier Street very recently, but it has already made big waves with their attractive-looking exterior and Lebanese-inspired Interior, as well as a diverse range of authentic Middle Eastern food personally handled by a Native Syrian chef, who will guarantee that every single dish you try ranging from a variety of grilled meats served in many different ways like kebabs and shawarma wraps, to the Malaysian-favourite Nasi Arab with an entire roast chicken leg and some spicy gravy to kick things up to eleven.

Dining within the interiors of Wadi El Arab gives you the impression that you have been transported to Arab. This amazing setting goes well with their delicious Nasi Mandy served in a classic silver tray. The accompanying chicken or lamb meat is excellent and pairs well with the rice and soup.

You’ll be spoilt with choices when you flip through the menu at Restoran Wadi Hana Elarabi. To save you from going haywire, there are two signature rice dishes worth trying here. First is Chicken Mandy Rice served with oh-so-succulent grilled chicken and aromatic basmati rice. Then there’s Lamb Maklobah Rice, a savoury dish topped with juicy lamb chunks and fried brinjal. Both dishes are served with a spicy dip that truly hits the spot!

If you love Muslim and Arabic rice dish, Nur Tahara offers the best of both worlds. First, there’s the flavourful briyani rice and the other one is the Nasi Arab. Here, the Nasi Arab set comes with an appetising trio of side dishes (spicy sauce, curry and mixed salad) and a meat of your choice. Their lamb selection is particularly tasty, with juicy meat that feels great upon every bite!
