Shahrizal Cafe — Restaurant in Pulau Redang

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Decent beachside spot, but not without flaws

We visited this beachside restaurant and had a mixed experience. The food wasn’t bad, but nothing particularly memorable. We ordered a banana shake, a coconut shake, and an iced coffee, along with a Nutella waffle and an egg burger. The shakes and waffle were enjoyable, but the burger had an overpowering sauce and the coffee was overly sweet.

Prices felt a bit high compared to other places in the area. The atmosphere was somewhat messy, and you have to go up yourself to get the menu and place your order. Service was relatively fast, though we were the only customers at the time.

The beachfront view is definitely a highlight, and they do have a small shop where you can buy snacks or bottled water. However, while we were eating, a boat was being loaded nearby which caused an unpleasant smell, and a loud argument broke out between a staff member and a relative—definitely not ideal for a relaxing meal.

One positive is that it’s one of the few places on Long Beach with extended opening hours. Still, we wouldn’t return unless absolutely necessary, as was the...

Ordered a couple of coconuts which turned out to be pretty old, were sour and had no flesh. Complained about this but didn’t get new fresh coconuts. They were pretty rude in Malay thinking i couldn’t understand. Even when one staff member said in Malay that the coconuts had no flesh and seemed old, the older lady responded to ‘just give it to them’. Probably though we were dumb tourists who didn’t know any better....

Wow. If you’re craving a coconut shake and also want to experience the full aging process, this is the place. 40 minutes for ONE drink — no updates, no sorry, just pure vibes and suffering. Maybe they had to climb the tree, harvest the coconut, and milk it with tears....
