It was unfortunate that we were the only guests in the restaurant, which was underground and lacked any ambiance. Having said that, the food was simple but very tasty, good portion size. The service was good, probably because we were the centre of attention.

Nasi Lemak dish so terrible, presentation are good. But the rice is too dry. I can see the dry rice grains not holding together. Normally rice once is cooked are soft and moist. Very disappointed It’s look like been re-heat in the oven. We were lunch at noon time around 12:30 pm. Very dissatisfied ! It’s my first also a last to visit. Won’t go there again.

Good choice of starters - recommend both the duck and the squid. There was good variety in the main courses - our particular choice of chicken was a little bland. Service was friendly and helpful - staff made good recommendations. If you are staying in the hotel the restaurant is a quite, casual, easy going place which makes you feel welcome.

Typical hotel restaurant without ambience. When it comes to service it is quite poor, staff is not very friendly. Had better meal definitely, Tom Yum soup was lacking of ingredients almost no sea food inside just some vegetables.

Had a lovely birthday dinner with friends in this cosy restaurant. I really like Malaysian food so therefor wanted to treat myself and my friends. We had plenty starters and main food was really filling. My vegan friend told that unfortunately there were not too many options for her to choose from. One of my friends found food a bit too spicy for her taste. They offered us as well wine with our food which was unexpected as earlier reviews had stated that no alcohol would have been served in this halal restaurant. Everyone enjoyed their wine and nonalcoholic drinks. The atmosphere in the restaurant was really nice. Service was good and attentive. I would have liked to be offered dessert menu instead of being offered just coffee or tea after finishing main food. In general we had a very nice evening and I would go back to this restaurant again on a special occasion.
