Presentation and Quantity

Although we dined in, we were disappointed by the small disposable bowl that contained a paltry portion. However, the visually appealing presentation compensated for it, showcasing a vibrant blend of colors from the smoked chicken, black pepper, sous vide egg, carbonara sauce, parsley, and shaved Parmesan.

Unique Handmade Pasta

Before savoring the Smoked Chicken Carbonara, we couldn’t resist trying their handmade Mafaldine. Also known as “little queens” due to their regal appearance, these ribbon-shaped pasta noodles had a fascinating blueish-greenish tint from the inclusion of blue pea. This departure from traditional white pasta piqued our curiosity about the flavors to come.

Flavors and Texture

With our first bite, we experienced tender smoked chicken intertwined with perfectly cooked Mafaldine. The subtle kick from black pepper and the creamy, salty note from Parmesan cheese enhanced the overall flavor profile. The handmade pasta, with its chewy texture, offered a unique taste that we could only speculate came from the blue peas.

Halal Italian Cuisine

“2 Kul Guys” caters to a wider audience seeking authentic flavors without compromising their dietary preferences as a Halal Italian cuisine restaurant. This inclusivity adds to the establishment’s appeal.

Conclusion

The Smoked Chicken Carbonara at “2 Kul Guys” is undeniably a delightful dish, tantalizing the taste buds with well-balanced flavors and unique handmade pasta. However, the portion size left us longing for more, which was the main downside. While the innovative flavors and commitment to Halal Italian cuisine are commendable, the price of $17.90 seems steep for the quantity provided.

In conclusion, if you’re willing to splurge on a one-of-a-kind halal pasta experience, consider visiting “2 Kul Guys.” Just be prepared for smaller portions. The Smoked Chicken Carbonara is a flavorful and enjoyable dish, but it may leave you yearning for a more substantial meal.
