The food and place was nice. The price was a bit high but it was very delicious. A bit hectic as a lot of people went there. Definitely will come again

Set ayam penyet was my favourite. Crispy and succulent chicken, pair with boiled egg, tempe, eggplant, pucuk ubi and salted fish. Drizzle with homemade curry gravy and of course, the spicy and sweet sambal is 10/10.

One of the best Padang cuisine in town. The varieties of the dishes are good. This is a good place especially those who crave for Indonesian Padang cookings. The restaurant also serve grilled fish where you can even choose live fish from the fish tank. You can never get any fresher than that..! Avocado juice is one of the specialty. Or you can also try promoganate juice where they will squeeze the fruit on the spot..

The foods are very good. But a little bit pricey. RM8.80 for a chunk of beef rendang and the tempe costs RM6. But the place is nice and cosy.

Impromptu decision to have nasi padang and was recommended this eatery by our Grab driver. We ate here around 4pm and our food arrived warm and they were delicious . The only comment would be that we had to repeat ourselves several times to have our cold beverages served (we had spicy food ). The cashier was also friendly and helpful. We would definitely be back to try other dishes.
