    Exciting concept (authentic cuisine, tasteful ambience and attractive music programme). But our highlight was the service provided by the charming and competent staff!

    The service was good and I enjoyed the time. I wouldn't say that the food was exceptional, I found it regular, maybe because l am used to this cuisine, coz it's similar to arabic. But it was well prepared. For1 person this set is really big, i didn't eat even half. Pity to through it.

    Great restaurant to sample Malay cuisine. Nice ambiance but the live band can be a bit loud at times which makes it difficult to have a conversation at the table.

    SPYCED responded on Wed 19 Mar 25:
    hi Ted, thank you for your review! sorry about the band - we will bring this up with them.

    Our experience was absolutely awesome. I thought my 6 year old daughter would be bored but she was so well taken care of, they gave her that special attention she wants. Even made her strips and chips. The food was top drawer. Service even better, keep it up guys!
