Here were some of the highlights:

𝟏. 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐲 𝐬𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬 & 𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐬 - classic bar snack 🔥 best paired with beer 🍻 𝟐. 𝐓𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐨𝐫𝐢 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐩𝐢𝐳𝐳𝐚 - fusion blend of the indian & italian essence! Super cheesy and flavourful 🍕 One of the best pizzas I’ve tried so far ❤️❤️ Crust wasn’t too thin nor thick - done just right ✅ 𝟑. 𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐥 - a homecooked favourite transformed into a glorious goodness with bullseye egg. 🍳 Served with toasted homemade bread 𝟒. 𝐓𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐰𝐢 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥-𝐎𝐮𝐭 - this feast in a bowl contains white fish, black mussels & tiger prawns and paired with soft bread 🦐🐙Seafood was super fresh and it was damn spicy too 🥵🔥 I loved the heat intensity despite all the oohs and aahhs accompanying it 🤣😮‍💨 It goes really well with the white bread and this is a must order for seafood lovers 🐠👌🏻 𝟓. 𝐃𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢 𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐛 𝐧𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐥𝐞𝐬 - Kuey Teow Goreng premium 🤣🤣 I’ve never seen this combo elsewhere and it was surprisingly super delicious 🤤🥡🥢 There were bits of mutton in my Kuey Teow which made it extra addictive. The chilli oil on the side gave it a spicy kick 🌶️ not to forget the giant fresh prawns that came along with this dish 🍤 Portion was huge and it was a very comforting meal 😋 asian version of stir fried flat noodles of the east which is bursting with great aromatic flavours of tiger prawns & minced lamb from the South 🔥 𝟔. 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞 - fried rice made with aromatic salted fish and served with crispy, special marinated prawns, sliced omelette and papadum. THIS IS MEMANG SEDAP 😍🔥 Like all the food was so spicy, but this was just nice for me 🤤 The hint of salted fish helps cut through all the spiciness and awakens your senses immediately 😙 𝟕. 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐰𝐧𝐬 - heaven in a bowl! 🦐 A spinoff of the Indian sambal chilli prawns served with crispy mantou slices 😋 𝟖. 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥 “𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐧” 𝐰𝐫𝐚𝐩 - reviving the famous south-indian "fish puttu" rolled into soft flatbread and served with a side of nachos 🌯 First time trying fish puttu in a wrap as it’s normally eaten with rice 🤣 very unique combination but that’s the beauty of fusion food 😉 The sauce at the side helps to enhance the overall flavour 👍🏻 𝟗. 𝐊𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐦𝐢𝐫𝐢-𝐒𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐞 𝐋𝐚𝐦𝐛 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐩 - lamb shoulder coated with blends of kashmiri spices, served with potato wedges tossed in garlic oil & black pepper gravy with a hint of mint! 🐑 You can taste the spices which made it very aromatic and it wasn’t gamey too ☺️ All out enjoyable ⭐️

One of the worst experiences I've ever had at a bar in Bangsar.

The wait staff constantly messed up our orders because they refused to write anything down when taking our orders (in fact they didn't even carry anything on them to even write with). We received two food items that we did not order, and were even charged for them at the end of the meal!

Multiple drinks that we ordered during happy hour were charged to us at non-happy hour rates. We managed to catch some but not all of these errors because...

It took more than 20 minutes for the wait staff to respond EVERY time we asked for anything whether it was to give us utensils to eat the food with, or call for the bill, or ask for a copy of the receipt after paying. Easily spent more than an hour waiting for various things and for the wait staff to even come back to us.

Would give this a 0 star rating out of 5 but Google won't let me. I will not be returning to this place ever again, and you should do the same to spare yourself the strain...

Bad all around. Manager at door claims to follow Covid protocol but violated all basic rules to accommodate his friends by bunching tables for only them. The food was very good but the order took more than an hour to serve. We got a lackadaisical apology and free ice cream for kids. There did not appear to be a shortage of staff but were disorganized and mismanaged by the same manager at door. The wait staff however, was courteous except one huge mistake- the bill was paid in full but as we were getting in our car , one of them came running out towards us and insisted we didn’t pay our tab. She eventually apologize for her mistake after we produced the receipt and one of the other wait staff corrected her. Nevertheless, it was embarrassing and a total bad experience. Highly recommend, to avoid unless you’re local who can handle the incompetent staff and management. We did speak to another manager before we left but she too offered very little to rectify, only an ear to listen...
