2 weeks agoGreat experience here. Mr.Shah was very attentive and made sure all our needs were met. He and the team did a fantastic job surprising my mother for her birthday. The staffs friendly and the service was excellent. The food was delicious and reasonably priced (met our expectations). A wonderful dining experience, will definitely be back.

3 months agoMy partner and I had lunch here, and we loved it! Every dish was super tasty – we finished it all!👍The place is big and beautifully decorated, so it feels really nice to sit and enjoy the meal. The staff were great, especially IQRA, who took amazing care of us.💕We’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for good food and a nice vibe.

in the last weekI visited here to celebrate CNY with colleagues, their lousang is the best that I’ve ever tried in KL! Their lousang is very aromatic with the sambal spread over, making the lousang a very alluring starter👍 For the meals, it’s tasty but abit pricey for this kind of taste. So for me, I would only visit when we have Malays friends going along for lunch/ dinner. For the atmosphere, the view is abit disappointing as I expect a little bit much for this kind of pricing.

2 months agoBest Malaysian dish that I had during my trip. The different spices and flavours in one place was to die for! I would go here again!I had the special menu during Christmas and it was a dish with meat, pineapples and vegetables with different spices, sauces and rice. Really good, very spicy. Sadly the plate was too much for one person and I couldn’t finish everything.One thing that was bad, was that when I booked my spot I explicitly mentioned that I am allergic to fish and seafood. In the beginning they gave me a crips with fish on top of it. For a fine dining restaurant I expect them to read the notes and be careful with your food, which wasn’t the case…
