Very flavorful food and large portions. Highly recommend the paratha appetizer and the bbq (grilled) short ribs. Drinks were good too and for $14 (which is cheaper than the $18 I paid for a basic margarita at another establishment!)

I would not go back here. The food was very underwhelming. The calamari tasted like it was fried straight out the freezer. They also forgot a dish we ordered and when we asked them where it was they said it would take an additional 20 minutes.

It took me awhile a lot of trial and error to find what I liked here. I'd say the beef rendang and the beef fried rice are the only items I would get here. There are done really well and the beef fried rice is plenty for two people!
