Samarra

If anyone is a fan of a middle eastern atmosphere and wants to enjoy good food, you should definitely check out Samarra Restaurant. The decorations of the place is simply to say top notch. Its one of the best one i saw so far in Jakarta. This restaurant was built to commemorate of the ancient city Samarra, by the River of Tigris, approximately 125kms from Baghdad. If you went to this restaurant, it would as feel like you were brought back to the ancient times to see the beauty and glory of the ancient city of Samarra during the times of Mesopotamia, Babylon, Syriana, and Persia. Basically my friends and i ordered all the specials at this restaurant, and what we ordered all contains LAMB, we ordered the Satay,  the whole meat, the lamb curry and the traditional rice. All of them are good, hands down. The whole meat was my favorite, you can so taste the lamb, the tenderness with the fatty part was so good. Another unique thing was that they placed the meat on a hot charcoal so the food will always stay warm, that is so genius. I also love their utensils, its so vintage! Even though it was fattening , i really don't care, it was really good. Middle eastern lovers should definitely check this place out!
