Marta's Kitchen @ Desa Sri Hartamas

by - Thursday, July 16, 2020

Legit speaking, Marta is the restaurateur of Marta's Kitchen, who originated from Spain and has deep culinary passion to make home cook recipe great again to the public. They are using quality ingredients imported from Spain for most of the dishes cook in Marta's Kitchen.


Dining space in Marta's Kitchen is beautiful to be at, especially during day time when there's natural light coming in from the window, shining upon the Moroccan tiles, elegant female Mafia, aesthetic dangling lights and such. The bar section reminds me of the Mediterranean bar by the beach with its turquoise colored bar station that blends perfectly with the light orange within the bar rack.


Started the evening with Marta's wide choice of Spanish tapas. One of the special tapa from the menu was the Fish & Chips with Squid Ink Aioli (RM 30.00). The fish meat was fresh and big, love the crisp battered that was well fried to golden perfection. Having Squid Ink Aioli at the side to enhance the taste of the fish and chip as it brings salty taste to it. 

The other tapa that was on table, Pinchos Morunos (RM 20.00) that was marinated pork kebabs that uses the best mixed spices from Spain. Honestly, nothing special about the mixed spices and it did feels bland after eating the pork kebabs. It needs more seasoning.

Many reckons that the paella is a must to try when you are in a Spanish or Valencian restaurant. Here in Marta's Kitchen, the best selling menu item goes to Squid Ink Paella (RM 37.00). The dish was perfect to me as the rice was cooked to al-dente. The flavors are bold and rich. The dish stood even better when there's a dollop of cream fresh and a fresh large prawn on top.

Another dish that I highly recommend is the Juicy Iberico Pork Rib (Half Rack - RM 85.00). The juicy pork rib that is marinated with sweet & sour sauce, served with hot spicy sauce at the side as a compliment to each other. In my opinion this half rack portion also sufficient up to 4 pax.

My personal summary
Better to make advance reservation to avoid disappointment (Crowd comes in during peak hours). Overall service is good. Certain tapas lack of seasoning, however, very subjective to individual palette. Recommended the Squid Ink Paella and Juicy Pork Rib.
