Arabica Restaurant, Kota Damansara: Nasi Mandi and Adani Tea Pot
An affordable Arab restaurant at Cova Square, Kota Damansara serving sharing platters of grilled meats with mandi rice, shawarma, kunafa and clove-scented adani tea.
Looking for tasty, wallet-friendly Arab food in Kota Damansara? Arabica Restaurant at Cova Square greets guests with a cheery hello, habibi and a long Middle Eastern menu. During Ramadan 2026, which has since ended, the restaurant also handed out free food and tea to visitors.
We ordered the Arabica mix set with nasi mandi (Yemeni-style spiced rice), enough for three. The platter came loaded with well-spiced grilled meat and chicken, fragrant rice and tender meat. To drink, the adani tea pot is a rich Arabian milk tea with a clove aroma.
No Arab meal is complete without shawarma, even better dunked in the house sauce. For dessert, the sweet cheese kunafa uses cheese that is not too salty, and the hummus comes with bread. Online listings show late opening hours, but call ahead to confirm.
