Absolutely dreamy. By far the highlight of our Lang Kawi stay. Pitch perfect atmosphere - right on the harbour, cool breeze, chill music, tropical views. Service was warm with calm, grace and a smile even when busy. Drinks and food were super fast and the quality, taste and presentation of the clearly fresh food was second to none on the island. Flavours popped. If you’re a foodie, or looking for a laid back evening with island vibes and 5* hospitality, this is the place! We visited this place while a group of us were on vacay in LKW. It was recommended by a few people we met while travelling on the island. It’s a hidden gem. Entrees- The food is good and fresh and the service is great. They only have 1 Chef and we were there on a busy night but the food kept coming. Plus we ordered multiples as we were hungry. I recommend ordering a few of the entrees to share - highlights were the mussels and gambas. Feta cigars and spanakopita were also great - there are also a lot of veggie options. Our absolute favourite was the checken wings (they are spicy) but delicious. Mains - we made sure to order different mains to try everything. Tiger chilli prawns were delicious. Great schnitzel, lamb chops were so tender. I also recommend the sea bass and aglio olio (all mains come with sides that pair well) Dessert - we were quite full but managed the apple strudel - also very nice. Great cocktails too. I recommend the daiquiri. Overall great experience + lovely sunset and if you’re lucky you get to see some sea otters and hornbills. Thanks chef Tayfun and Eileen we had a great time. This place is a hidden gem. Go find it! Great atmosphere, great food and welcoming hosts. The food and ambience seemed to transport us to a mix of French Riviera/Spanish Bistro whilst enjoying amazing service and the best sunsets you could hope for. We’ll sneak another visit in if we have time.

We ordered Basil Pesto Chicken Pasta, Salted Egg Prawns, Kayseri Sebit and Souvlaki upon the chef's wife recommendations. Needless to say, we were not dissapointed and our personal favourite is Kayseri Sebit (Turkish Layered Meat Pie) which is the chef's family recipe. This is by far the best meal that we had in Langkawi. If you want to have authentic taste of Mediterranean food, this is the best place to be!
