    The food was amazing. We were a table of four and we shared our dishes. Each one was unique and delicious.

    Great food, full of flavours, spices! Waiters pay attention to advert if can be spicy or not, and the service was very kind as I had to postpone my table of half and hour. My family and I loved it. I recommand it!

    The food at this establishment was amazing. There is no doubt about that. And I’m speaking as someone who live in Malaysia. However, much could be improved on the service, which was perfunctory to say the least. On the evening we went staff stood around chatting to each other rather than attending to their customers. Consequently empty plates from the previous course piled up and weren’t cleared when our mains arrived, drinks weren’t replenished nor were we asked if we would like desert or a coffee. The attitude was that we weren’t really wanted there. And that is no way to run a restaurant.

    Great service and food. They apologised for time it took to get food from ordering to the table. But did not even notice. Drinks were given free for this. But there was no need really. Food lovely will go again.
