Dinner with friends. We had a pleasant experience. Foods are amazing and nicely presented. Loves the vibes & the in-house music i.e Tan Sri P Ramlee's songs create the classic & nostalgic mood. Second time here, still amazing food taste. The congkak side dish is to be shared by 2 people. Comfortable seating and clean restaurant. If you come in large group, better to do reservation because the restaurant seats are quite limited and always occupied with customers. You can park at the parking lot less than 100m at the left side of the cafe. There are food vendors on the side of the road near the restaurant. The outside walls that face the restaurant have a big mural of singer and legendary actor P. Ramlee, who was my mother's idol. The restaurant isn't very big. There are two tables that can seat six to eight people, but the best seating area is for two to four people. There is a place outside for smokers to sit. Most of the food is Peranakan, but there are also Western foods like burgers, spaghetti, and fries. The chicken satay we ordered was great, but the rice cake doesn't taste quite right compared to rice cake in Indonesia. The Penang noodles taste a lot like the Indian noodles in Medan. They are spicy but tasty. My husband ordered a tasty fish that had been grilled. My daughter ordered grilled cuttlefish that is so-so. My son has curry which good and Congkak side order which is okay. Even though it's simple, the food presentation is all very nice. The service is both quick and friendly. We liked the food and the mood while listening to old songs by P. Ramlee and Saloma. We pay MR 168 for five main dishes and four iced teas.

Food beautifully presented & taste good. Parking a bit difficult as the street is popular with tourists. Overall a nice experience.

We found this place through a random Google search - and we’re so glad we did because we really enjoyed the food! The congkak-style condiments were excellent, and for once, the keropok was still fresh and crispy, not the usual stale ones you sometimes get elsewhere. All the different sambals and the achar were super tasty and added so much variety to the meal. I had the ayam penyet - even though it wasn’t smashed like the traditional version, it was still full of flavour and really satisfying. The butterfly pea flower blue rice was slightly overcooked and mushy though. Overall, we would definitely recommend this P. Ramlee-themed restaurant to anyone who loves good, hearty Malay food 👍
