We absolutely loved the atmosphere—it's a perfect blend of Arabic-style interior design with a charming vibe and soothing music. The food was good, though it could have used more of that authentic Arabic flavor, like richer sauces and soups. The service was flawless. The only downside, which isn't specific to this restaurant but a common trend across the city, is that most restaurants close by 10pm. It would be great if some stayed open later, as it could make them more appealing to tourists.

Best mandhi rice i ever had in surabaya. The rice tastes really buttery and it was so good. The lamb was very tender and soft, no stink at all. Love the ambience too, the decor furniture and everything sets perfectly like you’re really in a middle east country.

The arabic cuisine from this restaurant was so good especially the lamb. The lamb was so tender, not smelly and very rich of spices.

This place is closed. And moved to JL. Ambengan. And the new one.. is weird. It lost all of it's Arabic authentic feel. I get they are trying to get into modern cafés vibe. But... It's just a shame. I like the original Al hamra. A lot actually.
