4.7 / 5.0(733 reviews)
Just want to express my gratitude for an amazing and perfect dining experience on our 7th wedding anniversary dinner last night.. the food was top notch, services, ambience and everything just too unforgettable for us.. surau, toilet carpark also super convenient.. we will be back on another occasion insyaAllah.. **Top-notch Malaysian fusion cuisine!** Loved the lamb curry and juicy beef skewers. The cozy, air-conditioned space and serene seaside outdoor area made for a perfect lunch with great photo ops. My table was indoor. **Highly recommend! 5/5** ⭐️ easy to take grab taxi I’m giving a 5-star rating because of the lovely atmosphere. It truly offers a fine dining experience. While the food is priced on the higher side and the portions are quite small, the taste is absolutely delicious. What I love most about this place is the surau — it’s incredibly cozy, something you rarely find elsewhere. The service from the waitstaff also adds to the experience, making you feel like you're in a hotel. Highly recommended for both the ambiance and the overall service quality.

By far the best malay food I've ever tasted in my 50 years of life, with 5 star service and reminiscent setting .The staple Rendang and curry weren't on the table even. Everything was tasty and cooked to perfection. My compliments to the chef(s). Don't ask me about the price , someone else paid for it.

All the dishes were too spicy. There was nothing I could eat at all so I cannot provide feedback about the taste. I stopped taking pictures since I gave up trying anything. I could only eat the dessert so asked for an additional one. We were more than 50 people and the restaurant charged me for it. Environment nice with view to the sea
