Middle East Meets India Weekend Buffet That Brings Cultures Together
Available from 6:30 PM to 10:00 PM, the Middle East Meets India Buffet is a collaboration between Guest Chef Shahid Khan from Courtyard by Marriott Setia Alam and Executive Chef Ahmad Zaim of the Penang property.
The result?
A spread that captures the soul of both Middle Eastern and Indian cuisines, all under one roof.
Signature Dishes to Look Out For
Tandoori-Marinated Roasted Leg of Lamb – Charred on the outside, juicy inside, and packed with smoky spice.
Butter Chicken – A rich, creamy curry that’s a comforting classic with bold, warming flavours.
Dum Gosht Biryani – Aromatic basmati rice slow-cooked with tender lamb and saffron. You’ll be going back for seconds.
Um Ali – A Middle Eastern version of bread pudding with layers of pastry, nuts, and milk. Sweet, warm, and delightful.
Mango Lassi – This refreshing yogurt drink is the perfect way to cool down between bites.
Bonus BBQ Nights You Can’t Miss
Fridays
Meat BBQ Night – Think marinated meats grilled live and served hot off the coals.
Saturdays
Seafood BBQ Night – Fresh fish, prawns, and squid kissed by fire and infused with regional spices.
Family-Friendly Touches
Bringing the whole family?
The Noodles Station offers simple, non-spicy options for children or those who prefer gentler flavours.
Don’t forget dessert!
Alongside traditional sweets, guests can enjoy made-to-order
Simply Rolled ice cream a playful treat inspired by Thai street vendors.
Watching the ice cream being rolled right before your eyes is part of the fun!
Middle Eastern Desserts
The dessert spread includes lesser-known gems from the Middle East.
Think semolina cakes, nut-filled pastries, and syrup-drenched bites bursting with texture and fragrance.
They’re unusual, memorable, and absolutely worth the calories.
