I have always loved Arabic food ever since I tried Sham Fast Food.They used to be inconveniently located between Fortress Hill and North Point.Now they are located in Wan Chai and close to the MTR.Every time I attempted to submit this review, there is something new at the restaurant.

They used to be inconveniently located between Fortress Hill and North Point.
Now they are located in Wan Chai and close to the MTR.
Every time I attempted to submit this review, there is something new at the restaurant.
They now do breakfast but it is Chinese style.
I hope to try it one day, but to get breakfast it is a bit of a challenge and too early for me.
I was going to write about their set meals but now they only offer sets during lunch time.
The mains cost around $50.
From starters to the mains, it tastes really delicious.
However there are four chefs so sometimes it tastes different.
I have now had to change this review radically because I wrote that they should have apricot juice and smaller portions but now the apricot juice is back and the portions are just right.
There are lots of new items on the menu such as the chocolate eclair but there is no space for it here~!
Hopefully one day I will be surprised with this arabic omelette thing, I tried it from some Arabic students, it was plain omelette that is dipped with spices and oil and eaten with pita bread!
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
Arabic tea:
I found the tea quite interesting, it is made from lots of herbs and the prominent herb I could taste was Lemon grass.Sometimes it is strong you can't see through the glass and sometimes it is lighter.
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
Minestrone soup:
See above picture with the drink.
It tastes better than the Chinese soups pretending to be minestrone soups, it actually has real pieces of noodles and it has spices in it as well.
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
Arabic salad:
This is just plain tomatos, cucumber and lettuce, but they have spiced it up with secret spices and vinegar.
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆Fava Brown bean salad:
This is one of my favourite appetizers, the beans are really nice and the tomato balances out the dryness.Again it is spiced up by the spices and cumin is one of the spices.
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
Mushroom soup:
This tastes like chicken soup with some mushrooms.
The mushrooms are the chinese type.
I found really cute small pieces of mushroom in the soup!
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆Green pea salad:
This is a new item on the menu which tastes even better than the Fava bean.
There are fresh mint leaves in it.
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
Egg and sweetcorn soup:
I was expecting this soup to be similar to the chinese one, but this was really good.although it was watery, it had spices, sweetcorn, spring onions [ the green part and the root part] and onions.
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
Hummous sandwich:
It was lovely bread with generous hummous and diced mushrooms
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆Sliced mutton with cheese and beyani rice:
This was really nice with green peppers, I would have loved more cheese though.◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
Beef steak with brown sauce:
This is no longer on the menu however it has been replaced with beef and potatoes which is much nicer.
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆Beef Kebab with arabic rice:
This is another good item, it is rolled beef patty mixed with lots of coriander.
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆Fried chicken with fries:
This was a thin chicken escaloupe with yummy fries topped with spices.Similar to McD's shake shake fries in England with Curry powder.
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
Chicken sheesh taook with arabic rice:
Another favourite dish of mine, the chicken is really juicy and tender.◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
Pasta in white sauce with cheese:
The prawns were extremely fresh.◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
There is a choice of arabic rice or Beryani rice to go with the main dishes.
The Arabic rice is lighter of the two. It is similar to the rice served in asian chicken rice, it is slightly greased with oil, sometimes the chef puts vegetables in it.
The beryani rice is more aromatic but different to the spicy Indian version, however they are both soft and fluffy.
The Arabic version of the beryani rice is not spicy
