From his humble beginnings in Kfar Qasim to revolutionising Middle Eastern cuisine at Star Boulevard KLCC, Chef Eyad has become a household name for both locals and tourists seeking an unforgettable dining experience.

From Kfar Qasim: Where the Chef Eyad Story Began

The Chef Eyad story begins in the historic village of Kfar Qasim, nestled in the heart of the Levant. Born into a family where food was more than sustenance—it was a celebration—Chef Eyad was surrounded by rich aromas, secret family recipes, and the joy of communal dining. Watching his elders work magic with spices and slow-cooked meats, Chef Eyad developed an early appreciation for the art of Middle Eastern cuisine.

Determined to carry on this legacy, he travelled far and wide, gathering inspiration and perfecting his craft. The dream to open a restaurant that honoured his Kfar Qasim heritage was always in his heart, setting the foundation for what would become Chef Eyad KLCC.

The Chef's Culinary Philosophy: Where Tradition Meets Innovation

At the core of Chef Eyad history is a deep respect for slow cooking and time-honoured methods. Instead of following trends, Chef Eyad emphasises authenticity, flavour, and the quality of every ingredient. His unique interpretation of classic Middle Eastern dishes, combined with a passion for organic produce, sets him apart as the leading Middle Eastern chef KL has to offer.

  • Lamb Shoulder & Shank: Expertly seasoned, smoked for 16 hours with secret oriental spices and local honey for an irresistible melt-in-your-mouth experience.
  • Beef Brisket & Asado: Tender, juicy, and bursting with Middle Eastern flavours, each cut is hand-selected and slow-cooked to perfection.
  • 100% Organic: Every dish at Chef Eyad Star Boulevard KLCC uses only the freshest organic ingredients, ensuring both health and taste.
