    Summary: Waiter lied about their Roti Canai being fresh. Rice on both mains was microwaved and reheated as it was dry and hard. My coconut rice tasted nothing of coconut (was bland). The fish curry my partner had was full of bones and was essentially inedible. My rendang was not rendang let’s just say that. I complained to the manager on station and he was rude and unwilling to assist. I told him I will not pay full price as the food is virtually inedible (we ate 2/3 mouthfuls). After he reluctantly decided he would reduce the bill by £20, he then proceeded to overcharge me on my card. I first came to this restaurant when it opened and was excited to see if I could get good Malaysian food. I was disappointed but decided to give it another shot. I believe it has become worse unfortunately. I am Malaysian and regularly go to KL and Penang to eat some of my favourite foods. If you want anything even remotely resembling Malaysian food, do not go here.

    Waited almost an hour for subpar food to arrive. The food appeared half finished and very different to photos of their food on their social media and menu. Our table hadn’t been set properly and tables next to us were left dirty for a long time before being cleaned. Drinks also took half an hour after ordering to arrive. However, wait staff were friendly and apologetic regarding the wait - I think they were aware of how disappointing the experience was!

    It wasn't made clear that they had no alcohol available only 0% alcohol. The food took nearly an hour and the meat was tough. We definitely won't be going again.

    This is honestly one of the worst meals I’ve ever had. Bland, deep fried load of rubbish, service was slow and our food came out separately. The only thing that had any flavour was the satay sauce. Hardly any drinks on the menu were available. The place itself was filthy, which is ironic considering they had mops and cleaning products stacked up in the restaurant. When we complained at the end of the meal we were offered a £1.79 discount which I just thought was insulting. One of those experiences where I wish I’d trust my gut and walked out as soon as we walked in. The serving staff were nice so I can’t fault them there, but I can’t see the place lasting 6 months from what I saw tonight.

    We had been for lunch shortly after this restaurant opened and it was really lovely with amazing food , great atmosphere and attentive staff. This time we found service sorely lacking ( girl behind bar who came on for evening shift was on her mobile phone ), slow delivery of food, several drinks on menu were unavailable and our food was not an acceptable standard when we considered how much we paid. The service charge was an insult . We didn’t complain at the time as didn’t want to ruin our evening out totally! But sadly we won’t be returning not that you will still be open?!

    Food was amazing especially the dessert. We had the pengat pisang for dessert and it really hit the spot after our main meals. The restaurant was very quiet during the time we went maybe due to the time or due to the heat outside. Regardless, it could have used some music, but overall the experience was still very good and we are surprised more people weren't there to enjoy some very delicious food.
