Finally, after a long wait, i managed to checkout the buffet spread at Tarbush Restaurant. The buka puasa event that night was attended by me, Sharizal and Haxa. It was raining cats and dogs and KL was stuck in a deadlock. It took me almost one hour to get me from Wangsa Maju/Jalan Jelatek to Jalan Bukit Bintang (under normal circumstances the trip would merely take 20 minutes).
The restaurant itself was well decorated and have a nice ambient. The buffet was served upstairs. It was just limited to about 20 dishes.
I started off with some dates, fruits and a nice middle eastern dessert called Mahalabia roll. The mahalabia had a very nice texture, almost like cream but with exotic taste.
Then to some heavy stuff with Falafel, Potato paties, Fatoush, shish kebab, Hommous, stuffed tomato and sweet sour boxing chicken. I like the falafel, the potato patties are brilliant and the mince meat in the stuffed tomato is excellent.
For second serving i had the Makloubah, mixed veggie and more sweet and sour boxing chicken. I also had the chicken and vege cream soup.
The serving was very nice and delicious. However the food was not quite 100% middle eastern, as they also serve interesting (almost fusion) mix and match dishes such as spaggheti with lamb sauce, tandoori ala tarbush, and the sweet sour boxing chicken and mixed vege.
I would recommend this restaurant if you are craving for middle eastern food. However, if you want more variety, and authentic middle eastern cuisine, go to Sahara Tent.
