Reviewed By zzoggie - Malaysia

Not sure what the hype is all about, the wait is long for half decent food. the crabs are small with sauce that has way too much corn starch and very average fried rice & chicken wings. Will never return.
KL has much better choices of crabs that this overprice place...

Nicely set beside PJ Palms public swimming pool. The waitress/waiters were good, and you hardly get good ones in PJ/KL area.
The place serves good food. Good Music. The garden section is like on a beach.
Would recommend to chill out, have dinner.... or even have a small party as the environment is perfect.

We had an entourage of 7 folks meeting up for the first time as my best mate proposed to his GF. The food choice was great from the usual bar bites to their spicy finger licking vindalooo fried rice. Would give them thumbs up for the taste.
We sat outside and the ambience was nice.
Their staff was courteous, witty and friendly . I forgot the dude with the handlebar mustache name but he was a great sport. As they had a full house the food Delivery was slightly slow but they gave us a tray of shots as a complementary buzz .
Nice place and will definitely return.

Even though people are crazy about it I don’t find anything to shout about for their burger. To compare the taste and price I believe KGB or even McD is much better

The restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere. It's quiet and peaceful with really attentive and polite waiters who are always ready to attend and help. Food wise, it's really good. The quality of the fish and beef is top and most importantly delicious. Furthermore, the portions are definitely worth the price. Very highly recommend this place.

The view over KL at night pointing at Petronas Towers direction, venue with comfortable seatings, the retro playlist, and the cozy atmosphere... all is set for a perfect dinner with friends or even better with a date.
Except : the low quality of the food & the pitiful service.
Thanks but no thanks, I won't ever come back again.

Goaan fish curry wasnt really at its best. Ive tasted better, was a little dissappointed actually.
The aloo kulcha was too good. Other dishes ordered were delicious too. Very impressed with the service rendered. Beautiful interior with chandeliars everywhere. Menu was also very inviting. Will definitely come again.

Went there with family. Service was great and the long queue did not feel like forever because one can browse the various burgers and combinations while waiting.
Of the four of us, two felt the burgers were good and two thought they were not that great relative to the price we paid. Although the sauce helped, we needed lots of it.
