Arab St is considered to be one of my favourite food haunts because they have so much good food there! My friends and I settled with Zac Cafe instead of Nabins because first, it's cheaper, and second, I was lazy to walk.
Since my friend knew the manager, he was very nice and friendly to us and accommodated most of our requests. Even though the rest of the service staff had deadpan faces, at least our food, drinks and cutlery arrived promptly.
I tried the Mixed Grilled Platter ($19.50), which consists of chicken and beef kebabs, grilled mutton, a couple of sausages of unknown meat origins and potato wedges. The waiter said it's enough for two to share, but it definitely wasn't enough for my friend and I! At least, she was full but I had space for more :(
Anyhow. The spices were great, meat was pretty okay, grilled nicely so it was still quite tender and juicy. Not exactly value for money, but it's considered to be one of the cheapest if you compare it to places like Cafe Le Caire, where the mixed kebabs could easily cost you over $20.
We also tried the Grilled Kofta Kebab ($7.50) served with rice and the Lamb Bamya (8.80) served with rice and salad. Pretty much the same as the grilled platter (:
Didn't manage to try the sheesha here though. I still prefer having my sheesha where I can sit and lounge around like a bum. Maybe next time (:

We had an outing on a Saturday in 2009 and decided to try out Zac's Cafe at Jln Pinang.. Unfortunately it wasnt too positive an experience.. We came at 6 pm, told to come back at 730pm.. But were only seated at 8 pm..
-Buffet had a small variety of food -Manager had problems tending to needs of patrons -Manager worked very slowly -Staffs served with no smile and lack initiative,body language showed lack of enthusiasm and warmth
It wasnt too horrible but I expected better control from the manager.
