Me and the family went for dinner after reading the misleading reviews here.
It turned out to be an extremely disappointing exp.
Now ive had great malay food outside Canada. This was the first one we tried in toronto or even Canada, and it was far from gourmet!
Firstly the ambiance: stained rundown carpets, ordinary setting but nice hustle bustle(granted everyone have their culinary standards/ palates)
2ndly: service: although the waiters cleaned up and gave us the tables promptly, they kept us waiting for nearly 30 min. Very annoying because we could see them either chilling out behind the counters or just conversing among themselves but wouldnt pay any attention to my raised hand and the check out lady droped the receipt on the counter rather than placing it in my hand as she was too busy chatting away with other staff, lady.. a little smile and eye contact would have been courteous.
3rdly food: I dont know if anyone of the previous reviewers had actual rotis, but the ones this joint serves are just frozen parathas (frozen indian flatbread found in ethnic grocery stores). thawed in the microwave. the actual gourmet malays ive been to artistically bake rotis in front of their patrons!
Nasi goreng was something anyone could whip up after a quick 30 sec youtube flick. chicken curry very bland, watery.
But my biggest disappointment was the sizzling beef, which was well not sizzling!! when asked the waiter said in a puzzled tone "we keep it aside as its too hot"???
the staff overall score poor on communication, I had to make the sizzling sound to make him understand was sizzling was, this young gentleman had obviously no clue.
Well me and the Mrs agreed never venturing to this part of the Town as it may re-sizzle our culinary trauma.
I said it before and ill say it again.....never again.
