Shisha Lounge Restaurant

Shisha Lounge is one of the restaurants in Kuala Lumpur whose menu includes a substantial selection of Iranian dishes alongside Middle Eastern and international cuisine. The restaurant is located in the Solaris Mont Kiara area and officially describes its business as operating in the field of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food. However, a look at its menu shows that Iranian dishes form a distinct part of the establishment’s culinary identity.

A range of well-known Iranian dishes can be found on the menu at Shisha Lounge. In the stew section, there are ghormeh sabzi, gheymeh, gheymeh bademjan, and celery stew. For those interested in rice-based dishes, options such as zereshk polo with chicken, loobia polo, adas polo, and tahchin are available. Together with the kebab selection, this part of the menu forms a relatively varied range of Iranian main courses.

Kebabs are another important part of the restaurant’s menu. Joojeh kebab, koobideh kebab, lari kebab, khashkhash kebab, fish kebab, and Adana kebab are all listed. Some of these dishes are served with rice or bread, and they are also available in combination platters. On the dinner menu, mixed kebab sets including joojeh, koobideh, and joojeh lari are also offered.

The Shisha Lounge menu is not limited to main courses. In the appetizers and side dishes section, there are items such as mirza ghasemi, kashk-e bademjan, stuffed grape leaves, zeytoon parvardeh, Iranian olives, Iranian pickled vegetables, and Shirazi salad. Ash reshteh is another Iranian option on the menu. In addition, for those interested in more traditional dishes, foods such as dizi, kaleh pacheh, sirabi, koofteh, and kotlet are included in the list of offerings.

It is worth noting that one of the standout dishes on the traditional menu is dizi, which the restaurant presents as a traditional Iranian dish and serves in a stone pot with lamb and chickpeas. In the seasonal food section, Iranian halim and zoolbia also appear on the restaurant’s menu. This variety shows that the presence of Iranian food at this establishment is not limited to a few common items such as kebab and rice.

At the same time, alongside Iranian and Middle Eastern dishes, the menu also includes options from Western cuisine, ranging from pasta and pizza to burgers, hot dogs, and steak. For that reason, Shisha Lounge cannot be described as a restaurant with an exclusively Iranian menu. Its menu is clearly mixed in structure, with Iranian dishes offered alongside a broader selection of Middle Eastern and international food.
