This place looks quite standard but it's all you could ask for. The coffee is good, the food is good, the patisserie is good, the service is good, the prices are friendly and there is enough air conditioning to make you relax but not so much that you get too cold. Really a good find in this area, we will definitely be back! :) Thank you for your kind review. We are truly glad you enjoyed the food, coffee, ambience & hospitality we offer at our cafe. Looking forward to see you again soon!

A truly unique dining experience, as the diner will sample food combinations from a period in time where English rule & Indian presence combine to create a fusion rarely experienced at this quality. Old world food utilising the most modern of cooking techniques. Staters, Mains & Deserts were all exceptional.Thank you for coming to dine at Malaya. We are delighted you had a exceptional meal, enjoying the fusion cuisine of old Malaya. We greatly appreciate your feedback and hope you will visit us again in the near future.

The restaurant is elegant and wait staff are attentive and polite. However we could have done without the boring music played through defective speakers. My husband ordered the venison which later we found was unavailable. Surely kitchen should inform dining staff of these situations. He had fillet steak as an alternative which was cooked perfectly, tasted delicious but would not have satisfied any man being around 100gms in size. I ordered lamb noisettes which are a lamb chump chop with the bone removed. What I received was a thin slab of meat which was most probably lamb rump beaten flat. Sorry but this restaurant does not live up to the standards of a hotel of this class

A few years ago this was a really nice spot. However, over the last few years we've slowly seen this place fall behind as more and more great lunch and coffee places started to pop up. This time when we decided to give it another go, it was a true disappointment and we'll probably never go here again. The coffee was bad, we asked for cappuccino but we got a bunch of milk that had so little coffee in it that it wasn't even a latte and it was almost boiling instead of being pleasant to drink as a cappuccino is supposed to be. We ordered a three way of bread and got 3 slices of bread that were small but apparently not small enough as they were served half empty. The salmon was bad quality, lacking flavour and was being cut in a way that the skin was served and that made it impossible to eat... Chewed for ever and eventually just gave up on it. Yuck! Real bummer guys as this used to be a good spot but times changed i guess. Hi,Sorry to hear that our coffee is not to your liking but you should have spoken to our Barista regarding your preference as coffee is very subjective.Our certified barista who has been with us since Day 1 will be more than happy to assist you and will never serve "boiling" hot coffee unless requested.As in your case, we do replace the coffee ( if brought to our attention) and can brew it stronger ,bolder with more bitterness. Or perhaps you can go for dark roast commercial coffee such as Starbucks.As for the 3 way toast at Rm19.50, we believed that not only is it presentable but all ingredients are fresh. So, it was shocking to hear that it was served half empty? If so, you wouldn't be the first ever person to say so. Maybe, you would like to know that our chef and our ingredients have remain unchanged since Day 1 as well .We have alot of returning regular customers who have been supporting us for the past few years that have no issue like yours. Nevertheless, we do accept constructive criticisms and suggestions to further improve.Judging from all your TripAdvisor reviews regarding many other reputable cafes and restaurants,it seems that you are a difficult person to please or maybe.....a competitor!Cheers and have a good day!
