It was quite hard to find this place as it is located in a secluded area. However, the place was nice, has good atmosphere. The staff were all friendly. The waiting time for the food to arrive was almsot half an hour. But it was worth the wait because the food was delicious. We ordered nasi mandy, stew lamb and chili clam as well as kunafa. Everything was delicious except for the kunafa. Because i have tried better somewhere else. The price was reasonable with the taste and the atmosphere. Will repeat again insyaAllah.

Stumbled across this hidden jewel when attempting to find a public toilet nearby. Ordered some Arabic foods and they were surprisingly good. We saw many customers and food delivery drivers coming to take food orders from there as well. The place seems to be under renovation still, and is spacious despite the rather deceiving exterior.

Worth the Trip – But Some Improvements Needed We drove nearly 2 hours just to try out Hamara Dining, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The food was generally very good, especially the Nasi Arab – flavorful and well-prepared. However, the meatballs were a letdown. They were hard and tasted like they had been reused, possibly from the previous days. It really didn’t match the quality of the other dishes. We chose to sit outside, which was a bit hot, and we had to request for more ice several times. While the staff were very patient and polite, we felt that they were often not around when needed. We had to walk to them or call out just to ask for something simple like ice. Overall, we’d still rate it a 4-star experience. The food was mostly great, and the staff were kind. But to reach 5 stars, the team should focus on: • Ensuring food freshness (especially items like meatballs) • Being more attentive and present near the guests, especially for those dining outside Thank you for the experience – we hope to return and see even better service next time!

1st time im going here, its downtown area but not so far from popular beach Pantai Cahaya Bulan. I like the atmosphere here, like in the garden, also looks luxeries, or relaxing like kopitiam or your may be like indoor. May want a little bit privacy.. The signature menu here is arabian like nasi mandy, nasi arab.. but i try ramen lamb tomyum, pizza and chiken dumpling. Taste is not bad, delicious. Price little bit expensive but for me, its worth to pay. Very comfortable, nice and delicious.

My friend recommended this restaurant last year, but I postponed visiting it a few times. When my husband planned to dine here, I knew it was time to see this through as I've heard many good things about this place. Upon arrival, I was impressed by the aesthetic landscape and decoration of the place despite the secluded location. Who knew such restaurant exists here. There were ample of seats but the space was just enough to move around. However, it was quite hot despite the open air concept. The seating style and arrangement had this Balinese vibe. The number of dishes on the menu was quite limited I would say. We ordered the 5 stars dishes on the menu- salted egg pasta and Turkish Eggs. As for drinks, we tried the iced chocolate and chai. I love the pasta. The gravy was perfect and the taste was delightful. It was creamy and the saltiness from the egg made it even better. There's also a tinge of peppery, probably from the black pepper. You can't get enough of its gravy! The turkish Eggs was not too bad but it was not our cup of tea. The iced chocolate was quite tasty, not too sweet. The chai was sweeter than my liking. But, it was worth trying. Overall, I'm going to rate it 4 stars for the pasta. It won my heart. The total for the dinner was RM73.++ I personally feel it was quite expensive especially for the Turkish Eggs as it's not a heavy meal at all and it was literally just eggs and bread.
