The Castle Restaurant

Absolutely beautiful and huge restaurant with a large out in the garden space, if you go at night the lights are shining through the restaurant, it just all look so beautiful! the music was nice! and my friends and I sat right at the far left facing the Twin Towers view! just remarkable! one of my best night ever in KL. loved every bit of it! so would it be good for friends hangout? hell yes! for romantic evenings! even more! and for family nice dinner out! it’s just perfect.
The food was a completely different story! I was meant to go for a Mojito night when I changed plans to go this place as I was really hungry. So, my friends and I went full capacity on! and we ordered all the amazing dishes that you hear of coming from the Middle East, from Falafel to Humus, mixed grill, Lebanese salad with chips and potato fries and mint tea, baklava and shawarma. It was just a full two tables of food! we ordered so much and we were only 4 people so we took the food back home and finished the party: D
The staff don’t speak english, there is a famous lady called Judy if I remember well, everyone knows her, she speaks English, she can advice you what to order, she was laughing at our order because she surely knew that it was a lot for us. but I didn’t know how big the portions were in this place! but now I know! and I can tell you just stick to one plate: D This place a huge value for money! better than any other place I visited in KL.

Castle is probably one of the more renowned restaurants serving middle eastern cuisines and it has been in business for long time already. Castle is also one of the more popular places to hangout in Kuala Lumpur at night. I’m not a real fan of middle eastern cuisines but I still loved to visit Castle, one of the reasons is that I’m a fan of Shisha (even though I don’t smoke, hahaha).
Besides their superbly authentic middle eastern cuisines, their Shisha is pretty awesome as well as they mostly uses Al-​Fakher Shisha tobaccos in all their in-​house Shishas. I always order their famous «Super» Shisha where they used Pineapple husk as a tobacco holder which claims to prevent the coals from burning the tobaccos, hence preventing harsh smokes. I used to hangout at Castle previously as my friend is a hardcore Shisha fan.
Castle is definitely a must visit restaurant in Kuala Lumpur, thumbs up!

This place is one of my favourite ones in KL.
The restaurant is serves local cuisine and it’s the perfect place to go after a party for a snack or even for dinner with your friends. The food is amazing and they have a huge variety of dishes and drinks.
Beside the food which is absolutely fabulous, they have amazing Shisha. My favourite is the one in Pineapple. The only downside of the place is the fact that during evening the place can be packed and it will take a wile until your order will arrive.
But wile you wait for your order you will have the best seat in town for a view of the Petronas towers. For this you have to take a seat in the backyard
The environment is casual and you can choose to stay inside or outside.
Overall: totally recommend this place as part of the KL experience.

This is probably my favorite middle eastern restaurant in KL, and it’s safe to say I visit it at least 3 times a month.
Open all night, with a reasonable price and a very casual environment that is perfect for an after party snack. There is the option of seating outside or inside. The outside area in the back offers a great view of the Petronas Towers.
Out of the many great options in the menu, I would recommend the hummus, the mixed grill and the chicken wings. If you like Shisha, the pinneapple special is a great option to share with your friends. The only downside of Castle, in my opinion, is the time it takes for the food to arrive. It is a big restaurant and it is usually full at night, so it can take a long time to get your order. That aside, the service is usually ok and the food is totally worth it.

I had been living a five minute walk from The Castle for about 3 years before I finally realized how awesome it is. Unless you live in Kampung Baru, its location is pretty out of the way but totally worth the trip.
I had walked by it a few times but never gave it much thought. Finally one night, my Iranian friend was raving about the chicken wings and mint-​apple shisha at this place called The Castle. I said, «Is that in Kampung Baru? I live really near there!» In complete disbelief that I lived within walking distance and had never been to The Castle, he insisted he take me there right then and there.
It’s a big place (great for groups) with outdoor and indoor seating, free wi-​fi and it’s open 24 hours. They serve all types of Middle Eastern food. Their mixed grill is the best in KL and I have done a lot of research. The hummus is fantastic every time and I think the grilled chicken wings are truly magical. People rave about chicken wings on Jalan Alor and all over KL but I think The Castle does them best.
Don’t forget the deluxe hookah! They have a decent and CHEAP (RM 5) option but for RM 10 you get the deluxe hookah and it is great for people to share.

So I’m a pretty big fan of Middle Eastern food. I like the fact the food is generously spiced and heavy on the meat and I also like the fact that nearly everything comes with fries. I can’t tell if that is an ode towards authenticity or not but oh well, you don’t bitch and moan when people give you fries. Plus, I also really dig the fact that because of the typically large portions, I almost always leave the restaurant with a takeaway bag that makes for excellent late night suppers. What I like about The Castle is that it’s a refreshing alternative to 1am mamak sessions. The setting can seem a little dodgy if you’re not yet familiar with the place but I’ve been coming here for three years and I assure you that it’s pretty safe. When you get there, head straight for seats under the tent and relax with a shisha pipe or order up a kebab platter (served with an excessive amount of fries) to share. The food here tends to be a little hit and miss and some dishes are pretty authentic while others fall just below average. I would recommend the kabssa rice and the lamb stew with chickpeas and HUGE tender chunks of lamb
