Serai serves delicious Malaysian fare with big portions in a lovely atmosphere. The restaurant, which now shares a location with Kapitan, offers a full bar and outdoor seating in the back, making it a hidden gem. Standout dishes include the Beef Rendang Nasi Lemak, Chicken Rice, and Roti Paratha. Regulars enjoy favorites such as Hainanese Chicken, Panang Beef Curry, and Calamari. The kaya toast and roti canai are popular appetizers, with the roti canai noted for being fluffy and flaky, though some may find the curry a bit too salty. Recent reviews highlight that the curry is among the best in town, filled with okra, potatoes, tofu, and a blend of spices that create a warm and comforting dish. While the service can vary, it is often friendly and efficient, with many customers noting good service overall. The restaurant is spacious, making it a great choice for larger groups and families, and it is highly recommended for Malaysian, Thai, and Chinese dishes.
