"I had a pleasant experience overall. The food was great and definitely one of the highlights. The surrounding area also added to the charm, with an exclusive under-roof parking area that was both convenient and much appreciated. Service-wise, it was decent—could be better, but nothing majorly off-putting. However, I do feel the unit’s atmosphere could use some attention. The space upstairs felt uncomfortably small, and the structure seemed a little unstable—almost as if it were built with plywood and could give way at any time. The shaking sensation wasn’t very reassuring and might not sit well with other guests either. With some structural improvements, this place could easily elevate the entire experience."

"Perfect place for a local cuisine. Ordered Set cencaru sumbat, fried sayur buncis & set daging pedas. The cencaru sumbat is good overall, but they don't literally sumbat the paste into the fish, daging pedas is great in taste and texture, sayur buncis is the winner, greasy sayur topped with salted fried egg"

"This place is very authentic quite new but good vibe. The foods are so delicious like homecook , the daging merah is to die for and telur dadar so fluffy and crispy. Will come again for sure"

"The food taste good especially if you love traditional malay food. A bit of a pity that the thai foods only available from 2pm. Wish they served during lunch time too. Come during lunch time a bit rushing but the food served quite late since we order a lot and they served all together. Might want to reserve earlier next time. Since we came during peak time, no waiter came to us with menu so we go take team at counter ourself. The vervea area have low network connection, a bit struggle to pay since they don't accept card. But can connect to their wifi. Recommended dish: Cencaru sambal so good than other places."
