A nice cafe to chill but if you are going there for lunch, I might think twice because the waiting time was long. Considering it was a late lunch at 2pm on a weekday, I expected the food to be served a little faster. We ordered seven mains. After one main course was served, we had to wait for 15-20min for the next main so we shared the first main. All in all, an hour for all our food to be served. We could have easily finished the drinks before the food came but we tried to pace ourselves. I thought perhaps the servers could manage our expectations in terms of waiting time. We had to ask for our food twice. The food was not not bad. They were generous with the fish and chips with three pieces of fish. The creamy garlic chicken was flavourful, just that the side vege was a tad too salty. Fries were good. My disappointment was in the Pina colada. Last to be served but the small cup was not worth the wait and price. The mojitos are refreshing so good for Penang weather. Nice to chill out but if you are hungry, pls go elsewhere.

Our first visit here. The ambiance was excellent, with well lit area perfect for groupies and selfies. With a surau provided. The drinks were great with even more varieties to be chosen from. Food wise has some space for improvement. 1. Fish and chips were really crisp and taste great with some improvement can be made to the dipping sauce/tartar sauce or add on different type of selection of dipping sauces to fit malaysian flavour profile. 2. Rosemary grilled chicken were great with a bed of homemade mash potato, and crisp chicken skin. only a tad bit of being undercooked yet still edible. 3. As for creamy butter chicken, spinach accompanied was a miss for me. However, it is entirely just a personal opinion of mine. In short, it was a great experience here, this wont be our last visit here. Will be visiting soon! Wish your business all the best and prosper.

An absolute nightmare with this place. Let me start by the seating area that is very congested and each table is very close to one another making the access very difficult and uncomfortable. The tables definitely needs to be spaced amongst one another. Next would be their aircond water leakage that drips on my mother that was sitting across me. Imagine dining in and having aircond water leaking upon you. Please get it fixed. Third, I'll definitely have to talk about their staff that is under-trained. I asked for the directions to the washroom but the staff replied that there isn't a washroom in the restaurant. I was in utter shock,what type of food store does not provide washrooms? Apparently it was just the employee that isn't aware of it. How can one slack off that badly? Moving on,I had ordered their rosemary chicken that was undercooked. For the price you offer,you sure as hell should be able to pull off a grilled chicken,but unfortunately,I guess not. Nevertheless,the sauce that came along with it was good. I had also ordered their spicy chicken and it was disappointing.Tasted like diluted tomato puree with lots of sugar making it sweet. Simply unpleasant. Overall,I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone unless they actually took major measures to ensure quality in their food and service. I also appreciate Mr.Abbas for checking in on us at the end of our meal to ask of the food. I hope he makes the necessary changes.

The food is good; however, the service provided by one of the waiters (an older Chinese guy) was terrible. Firstly, when we entered the restaurant and mentioned that there were four of us, the staff directed us to sit inside. Suddenly, the elderly man appeared and said “WAIT” to us while he checked something on his phone, despite there being plenty of empty tables inside. I have no idea why he stopped us, but we proceeded. Then, when we were placing our orders one by one, he abruptly interrupted us with a “STOP” gesture and asked the previous person to repeat their order. While I understand that he may have been slow in writing down the orders, was it not a bit rude to simply gesture “STOP” to a customer without any explanation? Finally, when we requested an empty plate as we had ordered plenty of food to share, the elderly man responded, “There’s already an empty plate; why are you requesting another one?” However, the empty plate on the table was being used to hold tissues and cutlery, so we needed an additional one. I don’t understand why a waiter would exhibit this kind of attitude towards customers. We came here to enjoy the food, not to be served with such rudeness.

first time dine in, everything was nice, the food was really delicious but when we repeat for second and third time, it was very unsatisfied experience. the third time was WORSTTT, the pudding caramel was very SOUR and SMELLY, ig milk in the pudding was already GOES BAD and BASI. i want to complain directly to the waiter but it seems like the waiter (foreigner) CANNOT understand well as he keep asking what we are ordering eventho we have repeated the same order a few times (it was just a red velvet cake but it seems so hard to make him understand 🥲🥲🥲) a very worst experience as i paid rm10.90 for a SMELLY and BASI caramel pudding 😞 also NO decoration like what they’re showing in the menu 😐 the milkshake also just so so, but still quite EXPENSIVE for a PLAIN cream and cookies milkshake (rm15.90) literally NO whipped cream or cookies pieces as decoration………

I visited this café based on its glowing Google reviews, but unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfying. The hot latte was lukewarm at best, with incorrect temperature and overly basic latte art. We waited nearly an hour for our food, only to be disappointed by the flavors. The smashed avocado was overly sweet for what’s supposed to be a savory dish. The mushroom soup was watery and bland, lacking flavor—worse than canned soup from a supermarket. The Caesar salad was the most disappointing dish. The lettuce was chopped too finely, losing its crunch and freshness, while the dressing tasted off, and the croutons were soggy. No one knows how to smile and greet customers here. Staff are busy watching their phone at the front. Having visited over 20 cafés in Penang during my stay, this was, unfortunately, the most disappointing dining experience.
