Wanting to eat Turkish food but landed in Al-Amar instead for something quick to eat after movie in GSC. The atmosphere was great of a Middle-Eastern taste. Food wise was fine and to my expectation. Service, cleanliness was without a doubt. Scenery from the balcony was overlooking the Golden Triangle, if not for the ongoing Greater Kuala Lumpur MRT works.... More

Love this place! The bread threaded on a little stand with olive oil and dip for starter impresses. The food is great quality and tasty. The service is quick and friendly. Always refilling your drink and bread. We eat here every time we are in KL.

The place was highly recommended by one of our Lebanese friends and we have been eating at Al Amar for years now. We went recently and we found some improvement in the food. We went last time and we were a bit ambitious with quantity. As a result we could not finsish the food and they nicely packed the food... More

Al Amar is located in the Pavilion Mall which is centrally located in the city, the restaurant is on the top floor and as a great view especially if you are seated outside, when you are sitting outside you can also have the shisha. The food is great and authentic

This is considered as the best Lebanese restaurants in KL , the quality of the food and service is just perfect , even the quality of music and shishah is superb , I just wish they have a live band on the weekends . It's considered as a top-notch restaurant so the prices are not cheap. If you are looking... More

If you are looking for some good humus and great Lebanese food - this is the place. Very good food but not cheap compare to other food venues in KL.
