What reviewers think

Most diners leave happy with the air-conditioned room and the food. The calm, comfy setting also gets praise. Several reviewers name Amin and the boss Ali as friendly. Speed is the sore spot. Two diners waited about 30 minutes, and one said the dish never came out right.

Food gets mixed notes. Carbonara earns praise, but one diner found the nasi goreng paprik below their expectations, and another said quality has slipped since opening. Parking is tough to find. The 4.2 rating from 48 reviews sits below the 4.37 average for the 133 listings in this category.

Recent shift: The newest one-star review, from two weeks ago, reports a slow and wrong order. One reviewer says food standards have dropped since the cafe opened.
