Majlis Al Sultan

Majlis Al Sultan is a restaurant located in the Al Safa / Al Wasl area. They have free parking at the back side. 

The ambience is nice and it felt like a good place as soon as we entered. Although it is not very big. 

We started with the Oriental mezze. This consisted of hummus, moutabel, and pistachio labneh.
The pistachio labneh was something different and nice. The hummus and moutabel were good too. 

They have some interesting and refreshing drinks too.



Then they prepared the avocado and halloumi salad in front of us. It certainly felt refreshing when served. It also had some rocca leaves, cherry tomato, sun dried tomato, beacon nuts, and dried fig. 

We then had the cous cous salad. I'm a fan of cous cous and this looked really appealing. It had some griled vegetables, chick peas, and dried fig too, as well as chicken breast (can be removed for vegetarian variant). The chicken was a bit hard and lacked flavour.

For the mains, there was mix grill which consisted of shish tawook, lamb kofta, and lamb kebab. All of these were really good and just as expected in a mixed grill.

The chicken musakhan was something interesting and I really liked it a lot. It comes in the form of rolls. It's got chicken cooked in an oven with olive oil, summac powder, onion and lemon juice wrapped in Arabic bread. Definitely worth trying out. Although this is more like an appetiser.

Their signature dish was the chicken maqlouba. This is a rice dish cooked in an earthen pot. There is rice, potato, chicken and eggplant that is sliced and cooked together with Arabic spices. If you're a fan of rice dishes then this is certainly worth a try. The chicken was soft and flavourful.



For the dessert, we had milk cake with sultan gelato. It is a nice combination and tastes pretty good. 

They have shisha too, and have special flavours like the Sultan and the Margarita. I didn't like either one of them and it is not worth the price. Maybe they have the regular flavours which might taste good but I didn't try them. 

Worth going there for the interesting Arabic dishes and the good ambience which is usually not crowded.
