    Nasi lemak with really fragrant rice. Rendang daging lembu was nice. The curry with okra was heavenly. Curry puff was excellent.

    Selling local Malay food, many variety of authentic Malay food to choose from, you can have rice, noodle or even kueh, but the place is not spacious, at some point it is too packed with food lovers.

    Everything here is good! They're open during fasting month as well. Must try their barley and sirap bandung. Food has to be nasi campur, and lontong. Damn delicious and authentic

    Excellent Malay kuih, but get it fast before 3pm! Dishes are all tasty, especially ayam masak merah, sayur lodeh and ikan asam pedas.

    Nice place to chill with frens and be seen... and when you're done here you can check out Upstairs cafe which serves pretty good food and drinks. Like upstairs cafe decor too.

    Overall, it was good! Also, I can't believe that their curry puff filling makes no space for air inside that crust. 😋

    The environment & utensils are clean. The fried chicken is dry but flavorful, it is good to eat in air-cond room. Overall a good place to dine-in.

    The food is superbly traditional Malay but the seating is as mess. They could have accommodate more customers with better seating arrangement . The serving area is also confusing

    Food is good however the layout of the place is horrible. Kuih station in a corner and everybody gets stuck in there. So difficult to move around..
