Souq Garden Restaurant offers a beautiful garden setting, flavorful Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes, and excellent service. A perfect spot for any occasion—highly recommended!

Found this place via Google Maps - it has such good reviews we decided we had to try it. And the place did not disappoint. It's a restaurant for the Raia Hotel, situated at the Lobby. We ordered the Lamb Mandy - the meat is so tender and the whole set is so, so good. At RM38, it's an absolute bargain. Kids had the pasta meatball from the kid's menu, fish and chips and wonton noodle soup, and they were all very happy with their meals. Lovely ambience as it tried to mimic a desert set up, which was a nice change, and the service is top notch. Staff were polite and welcoming and our orders came much faster than expected, which is a huge plus point. Will definitely come back here when we go to KK next time.

Arabic cooking/Mediterranean way salad in a small scale but enjoyed to full and contended. Hummus and Shawarma from the menu will be next to try.

We ordered Chicken Mandi and I cannot say this is the best Mandi. The taste was okay. The chicken was like plain-fried without any marination. Side-dish that tasted like Mutton Paya was too good. The quantity of the rice was good enough for 4 people. The drinks served with the menu was very good. The restaurant ambience was very nice and you can feel like Middle-East restaurant.

Beautiful restaurant. Setting and arrangements are cozy. The orders arrived at an appropriate time. Staffs are polite and respectful. The food price is affordable. The lunch is great and what I like the most is the dessert. Various selection, cute and tasty! Recommended to eat here and enjoy your food!
