8. Kebab Bowls @ Kebab Bowl
Kebab Bowl is a vibrant stand that can be found right next to The Laughing Monkey. Anyone who has heard of New York’s The Halal Guys would automatically know what’s a New York-style Kebab Bowl. In fact, Kebab Bowl made headlines for being (probably) the first-ever establishment to serve Kebab Bowls in Setia Alam when they first launched.
Some might not appreciate outdoor seating arrangements, but it’s worth it to taste Kebab Bowl’s delicious bowls of generous meat and hot yellow rice. Their stand also makes it easy for customers to take away their delicious bowl of goodness if they rather eat elsewhere. We highly recommend their Kebab Bowls because their signature Red & White sauce completely takes the meal up a notch.
