Trahina and her colleagues make the afternoon spent after missing our flight memorable. Had nice salade and chicken wings and got surprised by a lovely baklava as a gift. Thx for your hospitality.
Absolute 5 star rating! From entrance, service, food and leaving! Lemon and Suzie were fantastic in welcoming myself and chatting and serving! This is definitely worth a visit when you are near this side of town!
J Bistro was a hidden gem I was lucky to find on my recent trip to Singapore. The modern décor and airy atmosphere set the mood from the moment I walked in. They have a place to relax outdoors that offer views of Singapore’s streets and also have indoor seating with gentle lighting, making it the perfect place for a relaxing experience.The staff were incredibly generous with their service and were extremely friendly which was something I appreciated a lot! They helped me choose what to order and thanks to that I chose to order various different dishes. The first one I ordered was the Forest Mushroom Veloute and this dish had a distinct mushroom flavor which tasted amazing with the garlic bread that came on the side.The next dish I had was their best seller Wagyu Beef Burger. The Wagyu beef was incredibly fatty and juicy and carried all the flavors wonderfully. Served alongside the burger were their fries which had a crispy texture with a silky feeling from the inside and I honestly could’ve ate 3 more servings of the fries alone!The next dish I had was their Fish and Chips. Paired with their fries and tartar sauce, The light batter of the fish wasn’t overly greasy which made it enjoyable. It was the perfect greasy evening meal. The last dish that I had was my favorite next to the Wagyu Burger. The Laksa Prawn Linguini was the perfect comfort dish in my eyes. The creaminess of the coconut cream and the taste that was blended in was absolutely perfect, I just couldn’t stop myself from eating. It would’ve been even better if I had some limes to go with it.After lunch I ordered a couple of desserts. The first one that I got was the Pistachio Kunefe with Syrup and the original Turkish flavors of the dessert really came through in this dish. It wasn’t overwhelmingly sweet but definitely satisfied all my sweet cravings in one go. After the Kunefe I had their Baklava Plate which included walnut and pistachio baklavas. They had a great portion and it was hard for me to finish it by myself so this would make the perfect dish for 2 people to share! They also serve a variety of Turkish ice cream for you to pick from if you’re just looking for a simple yet delicious treat.Overall, my experience at J Bistro was incredible. I had a wonderful time and I could definitely tell how passionate they were about their project from the flavors they were delivering in their food and the service they provided! I can definitely see myself coming back the next time I visit Singapore.
Good ambience. Very clean. Good food. Great service, help & friendly staff, Raina.We ordered fish n chips - good batter, no fishy taste/smell, damn sedap crispy fries, and good homemade coleslaw tho it’s a tad too creamy for my liking. And it’s freshly made too.We also ordered the 4 types of mushroom soup - their specialty. It comes with 4pcs garlic bread. Both are equally so delicious and complement each other. Harmonious.Prawn mentai spaghetti is good too, no wonder it’s their specialty. Prawn is fresh, sauce is creamy and pasta is al dente. It’s not spicy but zesty.For dessert we had baklava. Pistachio baklva to be exact. Looks may be deceiving this one. One look may think it will give you diabetes 😂. But you’ve been fooled. It’s decently sweet (it’s baklava here we’re talking about!), and you could taste the pistachio more than the pastry & sweetnees of it. We love this one too! I wonder how good their pistachio ice cream will be like.I highly recommended eating here if you’re around the area. This is not paid review. Just a person who likes and enjoys to eat and loves to share where to have good food 😂.Price is reasonable, dollar to dollar.And bonus point, all food here are HALAL. They use halal meat only.Look for Raina. She knows her food 🙃
I recently spent a wonderful evening at J Bistro @ 45 Syed Alwi, which is tucked away between Kampong Glam and Jalan Besar. It was like unearthing a tranquil local secret. The airy, contemporary décor and relaxed atmosphere set the mood from the moment I walked in. You can relax at their quaint outdoor tables with views of Singapore's streets or choose comfortable indoor seats with gentle lighting, making it the ideal place for a laid-back evening.J-Bistro's light-modern decor, laid-back vibe, and casual music selection skillfully combine a comfortable lounge with a modern social environment. You can relax there by yourself, catch up with friends, or have a relaxed date night.The staff was really friendly and courteous; they helped me navigate and clarify their menu, which greatly simplified my decision-making process. I started by trying their Forest Mushroom Veloute out of all the different dishes I had chosen. The soup's distinct flavor, which preserved all of the mushrooms, came from its creamy texture, which was achieved by using only mushrooms and no flour. Every bite was amazing because of the combination of the mushroom taste and the garlic bread, which was simultaneously soft and crispy. Immediately following the soup, I tried the Lombok Chicken Satay, which was prepared in their KOPA oven, giving it a wonderful smoky taste and tenderness. When paired with the accompanying peanut sauce, the meal turned into the ideal appetizer to start off your day with!I decided to taste their Wagyu Beef Burger after the Satay. Char-grilled in their trademark KOPA oven, the Wagyu retained all of its luscious fat inside, giving it an irresistible mouthfeel and texture that made it shine more and more with each bite. As one of their best-selling dishes, the dish truly lived up to its name and thanks to the flavor of the grilled burger, the texture of the crispy, fluffy french fries, and the subtle sweetness of the caramelized onions paired with the cheese that brought the whole burger together, this dish was definitely a highlight of the day for me. I tried the fish and chips as my next meal. I've tried a variety of fish and chip recipes, each with a special touch. One of the most authentic-tasting ones I've had so far has to be J bistros Fish & Chips. Together with their fries and tartar sauce, the light, airy batter that isn't overly greasy makes it simpler to eat. It's the ideal greasy evening meal. This next and final dish was my favorite alongside the Wagyu Beef Burger I tried previously. The Laksa Prawn Linguini was one of those dishes that was simply amazing; the laksa paste and coconut cream's creamy smoothness and flavor really brought out the Singaporean characteristics of laksa that everyone is familiar with and enjoys. The dish benefited greatly from the deliciously cooked prawns and their pleasing texture. My recommendation would be to request some lime on the side, which would perfectly balance the flavors and spices and elevate this dish even further. Pistachio Kunefe with syrup on the side was the first dessert I tried out of the two I ordered. All of my sweet needs were fully satisfied by this one dish once I poured all of the syrup on top. The subtle saltiness from the cheese and the sweetness from the syrup and pistachios blended together flawlessly. Their Baklava Plate, which had walnut and pistachio baklavas, was the final dish I ate. This recipe is ideal for people who wish to satisfy their sweet cravings without having too much sugar. These baklavas, which come directly from Turkey, have the classic baklava flavor while also satisfying the needs of those who cannot tolerate very sweet foods. In this case, the taste of the walnuts and pistachios was even more noticeable, which added a special touch that made the dish quite pleasant. For those seeking a quick and easy treat, they also serve a variety of Turkish ice cream which can be the perfect thing to enjoy especially on a hot day. Special mention for their Singapore Sling as well! Overall, I would highly recommend this eatery when you’re in SG!
Just visited the J Bistro on Syed Alwi Road, which proved to be a delightful culinary stop, offering a diverse menu that truly delivered on flavour and quality. From comforting classics to more exotic delights, each dish was crafted with care.The Fish and Chips were a standout, a testament to how well a classic can be executed. The fish was encased in a beautifully golden, crispy batter that gave way to flaky, moist fish within. It was perfectly complemented by a bright, tangy tartar sauce and a refreshingly crunchy coleslaw that cut through the richness.For those craving something heartier, then Wagyu Burger was a triumph. The patty, undoubtedly made from premium Wagyu, was incredibly juicy and rich, cooked to a perfect medium in the KOPA oven and practically melting in the mouth. Paired with a generous serving of crispy, golden fries, it was a truly satisfying experience.The Chicken Satay offered a delicious local touch. The skewers were grilled to perfection, with the chicken remaining succulent and flavorful. What truly elevated this dish was the homemade dip sauce – it was wonderfully rich and nutty, with just the right balance of sweetness and spice, clearly made with fresh ingredients.Transitioning to desserts, both the Kunefeh and Baklava were exquisite. The Kunefeh was a warm, gooey delight, with its crispy shredded pastry encasing a luscious, stretchy cheese filling, all drenched in a sweet syrup. It was a textural and flavour masterpiece. The Baklava was equally impressive, with its myriad layers of flaky pastry, generous nut filling, and just the right amount of syrup, delivering a delightful crunch and sweetness with every bite.For a taste of local Singaporean fare, the Singaporean Laksa was a must-try. The broth was incredibly aromatic and rich, a harmonious blend of coconut milk, spices, and a hint of seafood. The noodles were perfectly cooked, soaking up all the delicious flavours, making for a truly comforting and authentic experience.the of various mushrooms, making it a soothing and delightful prelude to the meal.Overall, J Bistro offers a fantastic dining experience with an extensive menu that caters to diverse palates. Each dish felt thoughtfully prepared, highlighting fresh ingredients and skillful execution. I'd highly recommend visiting if you're in the Syed Alwi Road area in Singapore. It is just 8 mins walking distance from the Lavender MRT.They also have a wide selection of drinks like cocktails & mocktails, etc.
1st time here. Weekday lunch, so don't worry about reservation. The restaurant is almost empty. I guess it's a dinner crowd bistro.The service was great, the menu price was on a slight high however the food is great. Really recommend the Turkish or European fusion menu. The Indian stuff is better off eating at little India. Overall, plus drinks & tax, be ready to spend between $30 to $40 depending on the main course your order. Anyway, they do have some lunch specials at a pretty affordable price, but I ordered from the main menu.
Every dish has their own unique taste, makes me feel so fresh and the one they recommended beer and the dish was very harmony in my taste…I also delight in their Service & their smiles…Just sured I will definitely come back for next time and more…more…
Went again to J Bistro last Saturday, after my last outing a week ago, I just could not get their food off my mind and told myself that I must go there again to satisfy the craving.This time, I decided to go for the Black Angus Ribeye Steak. Started off once again with the Cream of Mushroom Soup, just can't go past this to try their other soups yet, it is just so good I can't start off the meal without it. And I definitely have no regrets, it is just so, so amazingly good.I ordered the Black Angus Ribeye rare and it came done perfectly to my liking. The Ribeye was very tender and it paired off very well with the Black Pepper Sauce which has a unique tangy taste to it. And the glorious mash potato that accomplished the steak was to say the least, heavenly. All in, I will give this dish a perfect 10.Finished off with the Pistachio Baklava and a nice cold pint of Asahi.As usual, the service staff team was very welcoming and attentive throughout, a really bubbly team of really nice folks. The good food together with this wonderful service team made for a really dining experience. Will definitely go back again to spoil myself.
Took a while for the food to come but service was good. Even got free baklavas.
Great atmosphere and delicious food. My family sat indoors and the ambience was pleasant. We had a mix of western and Indian cuisine, which were all very tasty. Best of all, the beers were cold and fresh. Not forgetting, the staff were very attentive and courteous. We'll definitely be going back. Wonderful restaurant.
The squid and camembert cheese bites are the best! special mention to the chef zubra

Went for dinner , after heavy rain. It's rt next to our hotel (vagabond). Very friendly sweet staff, ordered their lamb chops 4pc with vege (good choice as fries would've masked over quality of meat) n Guiness. Food is excellent. Lamb chops are tender juicy. Done just nice to perfection paired with roasted vege. Guinness cold n smooth fresh fm tap. My hubby ordered wagyu burger tasted excellent. Kudos to Kelly (young Chinese server). She gave us 2pc balaclava as birthday treat for me. So sweet 😋 💖 💓 absolutely recommend to try out their food and drinks. Environment excellent with soft music. And friendly service.Relax chill. Perfect vibe. 👌
Food is pretty good for a drinking hole... I like their burgers and finger food.... They also sell this Turkish dessert which is pretty good
Brought the family out for a weekend dinner. Read good reviews about this place and decided to try.We had trouble finding the place initially as it was hidden behind renovation covers. Place was rather empty when we arrived and I was a little worried since there was only one other table.Turns out the worry was misplaced as the family was happy with the taste and portions of the meals. The steak, pastas and side dishes were delicious and well presented. Kudos to the restaurant for keeping up the good job despite a slow Saturday evening. We almost had the whole restaurant to ourselves and truly enjoyed the experience!Pasta bolognese. I seldom like bolognese as most places have an overwhelming tomato paste taste which I don’t quite favour. This bolognese was really well executed, nicely balanced and served with generous fresh cherry tomatoes. 👍Best dish was the mushroom alio oglio. Only problem was the added bacon was tough.Revisit 8 Mar 2025They serve satay now. Enjoyed a thorough well bbq’d satay———————Overall taste however was a really delicious pastaPasta carbonara. Another very well executed carbonara pasta. It’s not often one gets the arugula and raw egg served with the carbonara. It does add to the presentation. Tastes great
Best Kunafe I ever had , highly recommended. The creamy spinach and mushroom soup were fantastic too. Thanks for the satay as the chef knew that we were celebrating wedding anniversary.
Awesome food. We really enjoyed the ambience. Bruschetta platter was too good. Love their own factory made Baklava.
Chanced upon this place while fixing my bike. Really nice place to chill with friends or sit down and focus on work. Service staffs are also very proactive and nice. Highly recommended.Only down side is that the menu is not updated/ many items not available.
The food was very good. Lamb shank is recommended. The staff were very nice.
amazing dishes , well located & comfortable seating ! Strong WiFi and highly recommend a visit here , the lamb was cooked perfectly
Delicious lunch and it was a good price point .My friend and I had the pan seared fish and chicken pasta.They provided an excellent vegetable soup and fruit punch as part of the lunch set. This place is definitely worth seeking out .
Came here on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Food was excellent. Service was good.
Was finding a place to eat for lunch around the area on Google and came across this restaurant. Decided to try it out and I was not disappointed at all. Ordered the wagyu beef burger as my main and when I saw the burger in front of me, I was salivating. It was extremely scrumptious. The kunafe was delicious too! 🤤 The staff were also polite and nice to talk to. Highly recommend this restaurant!
The Bruschetta is amazing, atmosphere is very cozy and staffs are very friendly and hospitable which made the dining experience here all the more satisfying.Highly recommend to come and drink here with friends.
awesome! food was really tasty, esp the kunafeh 🙂 and vibes were really good!! loved that there was a mix of cuisines and all were done really well!
baklava was absolute GOATEDsuper homey but also classy vibesthe bruschetta was bussincarbonara was genuinely the best carbonara i’ve ever tasted and i’ve been to italyif i could i would give it 10 stars 💯💯💯

Nice environment and yummy food. 👍🏻👍🏻 to the happy hours too. Their staff, Aishah is attentative and good in recommending the dishes to us. Good place to spend the day with your friends and family. We have a great times. 👏👏
Absolutely love this little gem of a bar and restaurant. Perfectly situated near Little India, close to other fine attractions and in a beautiful location. Excellent food, drinks, and service. Great happy hour pricing. Pub snacks so tasty! Jojo, Aisha, Angella, Evie, and Kylie guarantee your visit will be memorable. Every time I visit Singapore I make it a point to swing by and hang out with the crew. Love J-Bistro, love the team!
Overall pretty good. Wagu burger was a bit salty - too much seasoning, but peasant atmosphere and good menu selection.
J Bistro is a gem hidden in a very unique district of Singapore straddled between Kampung Glam and Little India. With this unique location, it is poised to attract locals and tourists alike. With their great western fusion cuisine, an evening here will never have a dull moment. The food is exotic and authentic to say the least, the staffs are very attentive too. You definitely must pay this place a visit soon!Keng Heng
Just solid, we're the first customers to walked in, best restaurant for hangover meals imo
A hidden gem! Read good reviews and decided to check it out. The food was really good! The taste was on-point. Portion was huge and price reasonable. The service crews were very polite too. Nice place to wind down with good food and drink after a day of hard work.
Nice local bar next to the The Vagabond Club Hotel. JoJo is a great host and bartender. Good selection of drinks and expansive bar menu.
good food and thanks jojo for waving the cockage and ur friendly service. Friendly guy and very amiable, will definitely return
Aisyah was indeed an excellent host.She made us feel at home, entertaining us even though the place hosted a wine pairing event.She definitely deserves a commendation from her boss.Thanks Aisyah 🙏🏽
Got to know J Bistro from a friend and, since we were in the area, we decided to swing by and give it a try. The food and service were awesome, with friendly staff and great recommendations by the gentleman behind the bar counter.I was curious about the menu, which offered a variety of cuisines including Indonesian, Western, Indian, and Turkish desserts. What should we eat? There were three of us, so we decided to share and try a bit of everything.My friend had already decided on the Camembert Cheese Cubes – they were super yummy and not overly cheesy. A perfect start to our meal.I opted for the Lombok Chicken Satay. It was amazing! I loved the way it was char-grilled, and the satay sauce was so delicious that I cleaned up the plate – not a drop was left. The sauce was smooth like peanut butter.For the mains, we decided to try the Turkey Bacon Carbonara. Normally, I’m not a fan of carbonara because it can feel heavy, but today I liked it. There was a generous amount of turkey bacon bites, and they were so crispy.We had heard they serve good steak, so we decided to try The Gentlemen’s Cut – a 380g Angus Ribeye, cooked medium. Verdict: perfect for me. 👌🏻We are definitely going back to try the chargrilled Angus Tomahawk!
Feel the atmosphere of holiday when you step into this place. Ordered the truffle carbonara, poached fish and satay as starter. The satay is just super solid. Tasty and juicy.
Great food.Gentlemen's Cut Ribeye is fantastic. Salad is fresh, and the Butter Chicken with Japanese Rice is rich and creamy.
Had the chargrill chicken and olive crusted oven baked fish upon recommendation by the waitress. Both dishes did not disappoint..there was a nice smokiness to the chicken and the fish was fresh. Both dishes came with roasted veggies as well.
nice food and environmentPrice reasonableI like their mushroom soup. It is damn 👍👍👍
We had lamb chops and wagyu beef burger and find them good enough to come back again. The food is well flavoured.We are the only customers during our dinner, hope their business will improve.
Great customer recovery by restaurant management! Thank you for the kind offer.We came back for another meal. Unfortunately the same chicken dish was out of stock today, so we tried the steak, which was so much better compared to yesterday’s - many thanks to the chef!We were also given complimentary baklava.Thank you.
I hardly write reviews these days. Partly it is pointless. Do the reviews have any merit? Do bad reviews cause any damage to the outlets being reviewed? Do good reviews bring any advantage to the outlets? More likely they have negative repercussions.The vibe wasn't good when we arrived; at 7 pm on a Saturday there was just one table occupied. Perhaps, it's a drinking place where the crowd will come in later.Now the food, the sole purpose of our visit. The French Onion soup was burning hot and the forest of mushroom soup was decent and had the fragrance and correct temperature. The wagyu burger was decent. The ribeye was objectionable. It was supposed to be charcoal grilled in their Kopa oven. But the meat looked more like being blanched and then tossed in the grill for burnt lines. Medium rare was served as medium well. Any decent chef worth his fire would not have allowed it to be served.I usually do not confront the chef or server. I am out for a dinner and plan to keep the pleasantries of the evening. But I need to write this review and hope that the bistro improves. You can't charge your customers $34.80 for that piece of 200 g ribeye that I had. I am sure your chef can do better.
another day of celebration, was thinking to try something new. came here for its keto burger, wondering how it would be - its indeed like a burger without the bread. ordered the Buffalo wings, it's too spicy for me. Squid, a bit of surprise, quite good. The place is more for beer or wine, chilling with friends.

Together with their fries and tartar sauce, the light, airy batter that isn't overly greasy makes it simpler to eat. It's the ideal greasy evening meal. This next and final dish was my favorite alongside the Wagyu Beef Burger I tried previously. The Laksa Prawn Linguini was one of those dishes that was simply amazing; the laksa paste and coconut cream's creamy smoothness and flavor really brought out the Singaporean characteristics of laksa that everyone is familiar with and enjoys. The dish benefited greatly from the deliciously cooked prawns and their pleasing texture. My recommendation would be to request some lime on the side, which would perfectly balance the flavors and spices and elevate this dish even further. Pistachio Kunefe with syrup on the side was the first dessert I tried out of the two I ordered. All of my sweet needs were fully satisfied by this one dish once I poured all of the syrup on top. The subtle saltiness from the cheese and the sweetness from the syrup and pistachios blended together flawlessly. Their Baklava Plate, which had walnut and pistachio baklavas, was the final dish I ate. This recipe is ideal for people who wish to satisfy their sweet cravings without having too much sugar. These baklavas, which come directly from Turkey, have the classic baklava flavor while also satisfying the needs of those who cannot tolerate very sweet foods. In this case, the taste of the walnuts and pistachios was even more noticeable, which added a special touch that made the dish quite pleasant. For those seeking a quick and easy treat, they also serve a variety of Turkish ice cream which can be the perfect thing to enjoy especially on a hot day. Special mention for their Singapore Sling as well! Overall, I would highly recommend this eatery when you’re in SG!
Just visited the J Bistro on Syed Alwi Road, which proved to be a delightful culinary stop, offering a diverse menu that truly delivered on flavour and quality. From comforting classics to more exotic delights, each dish was crafted with care.The Fish and Chips were a standout, a testament to how well a classic can be executed. The fish was encased in a beautifully golden, crispy batter that gave way to flaky, moist fish within. It was perfectly complemented by a bright, tangy tartar sauce and a refreshingly crunchy coleslaw that cut through the richness.For those craving something heartier, then Wagyu Burger was a triumph. The patty, undoubtedly made from premium Wagyu, was incredibly juicy and rich, cooked to a perfect medium in the KOPA oven and practically melting in the mouth. Paired with a generous serving of crispy, golden fries, it was a truly satisfying experience.The Chicken Satay offered a delicious local touch. The skewers were grilled to perfection, with the chicken remaining succulent and flavorful. What truly elevated this dish was the homemade dip sauce – it was wonderfully rich and nutty, with just the right balance of sweetness and spice, clearly made with fresh ingredients.Transitioning to desserts, both the Kunefeh and Baklava were exquisite. The Kunefeh was a warm, gooey delight, with its crispy shredded pastry encasing a luscious, stretchy cheese filling, all drenched in a sweet syrup. It was a textural and flavour masterpiece. The Baklava was equally impressive, with its myriad layers of flaky pastry, generous nut filling, and just the right amount of syrup, delivering a delightful crunch and sweetness with every bite.For a taste of local Singaporean fare, the Singaporean Laksa was a must-try. The broth was incredibly aromatic and rich, a harmonious blend of coconut milk, spices, and a hint of seafood. The noodles were perfectly cooked, soaking up all the delicious flavours, making for a truly comforting and authentic experience.the of various mushrooms, making it a soothing and delightful prelude to the meal.Overall, J Bistro offers a fantastic dining experience with an extensive menu that caters to diverse palates. Each dish felt thoughtfully prepared, highlighting fresh ingredients and skillful execution. I'd highly recommend visiting if you're in the Syed Alwi Road area in Singapore. It is just 8 mins walking distance from the Lavender MRT.They also have a wide selection of drinks like cocktails & mocktails, etc.
1st time here. Weekday lunch, so don't worry about reservation. The restaurant is almost empty. I guess it's a dinner crowd bistro.The service was great, the menu price was on a slight high however the food is great. Really recommend the Turkish or European fusion menu. The Indian stuff is better off eating at little India. Overall, plus drinks & tax, be ready to spend between $30 to $40 depending on the main course your order. Anyway, they do have some lunch specials at a pretty affordable price, but I ordered from the main menu.
Every dish has their own unique taste, makes me feel so fresh and the one they recommended beer and the dish was very harmony in my taste…I also delight in their Service & their smiles…Just sured I will definitely come back for next time and more…more…
Went again to J Bistro last Saturday, after my last outing a week ago, I just could not get their food off my mind and told myself that I must go there again to satisfy the craving.This time, I decided to go for the Black Angus Ribeye Steak. Started off once again with the Cream of Mushroom Soup, just can't go past this to try their other soups yet, it is just so good I can't start off the meal without it. And I definitely have no regrets, it is just so, so amazingly good.I ordered the Black Angus Ribeye rare and it came done perfectly to my liking. The Ribeye was very tender and it paired off very well with the Black Pepper Sauce which has a unique tangy taste to it. And the glorious mash potato that accomplished the steak was to say the least, heavenly. All in, I will give this dish a perfect 10.Finished off with the Pistachio Baklava and a nice cold pint of Asahi.As usual, the service staff team was very welcoming and attentive throughout, a really bubbly team of really nice folks. The good food together with this wonderful service team made for a really dining experience. Will definitely go back again to spoil myself.
Took a while for the food to come but service was good. Even got free baklavas.
Great atmosphere and delicious food. My family sat indoors and the ambience was pleasant. We had a mix of western and Indian cuisine, which were all very tasty. Best of all, the beers were cold and fresh. Not forgetting, the staff were very attentive and courteous. We'll definitely be going back. Wonderful restaurant.

The food is not bad…Ordered the platterThe portion is pretty a lot…Jojo and Raina are friendly… always ask whether we need anything…Overall is a good place to come
Went for dinner , after heavy rain. It's rt next to our hotel (vagabond). Very friendly sweet staff, ordered their lamb chops 4pc with vege (good choice as fries would've masked over quality of meat) n Guiness. Food is excellent. Lamb chops are tender juicy. Done just nice to perfection paired with roasted vege. Guinness cold n smooth fresh fm tap. My hubby ordered wagyu burger tasted excellent. Kudos to Kelly (young Chinese server). She gave us 2pc balaclava as birthday treat for me. So sweet 😋 💖 💓 absolutely recommend to try out their food and drinks. Environment excellent with soft music. And friendly service.Relax chill. Perfect vibe. 👌
Food is pretty good for a drinking hole... I like their burgers and finger food.... They also sell this Turkish dessert which is pretty good
Brought the family out for a weekend dinner. Read good reviews about this place and decided to try.We had trouble finding the place initially as it was hidden behind renovation covers. Place was rather empty when we arrived and I was a little worried since there was only one other table.Turns out the worry was misplaced as the family was happy with the taste and portions of the meals. The steak, pastas and side dishes were delicious and well presented. Kudos to the restaurant for keeping up the good job despite a slow Saturday evening. We almost had the whole restaurant to ourselves and truly enjoyed the experience!Pasta bolognese. I seldom like bolognese as most places have an overwhelming tomato paste taste which I don’t quite favour. This bolognese was really well executed, nicely balanced and served with generous fresh cherry tomatoes. 👍Best dish was the mushroom alio oglio. Only problem was the added bacon was tough.Revisit 8 Mar 2025They serve satay now. Enjoyed a thorough well bbq’d satay———————Overall taste however was a really delicious pastaPasta carbonara. Another very well executed carbonara pasta. It’s not often one gets the arugula and raw egg served with the carbonara. It does add to the presentation. Tastes great
Best Kunafe I ever had , highly recommended. The creamy spinach and mushroom soup were fantastic too. Thanks for the satay as the chef knew that we were celebrating wedding anniversary.
Awesome food. We really enjoyed the ambience. Bruschetta platter was too good. Love their own factory made Baklava.
Chanced upon this place while fixing my bike. Really nice place to chill with friends or sit down and focus on work. Service staffs are also very proactive and nice. Highly recommended.Only down side is that the menu is not updated/ many items not available.
The food was very good. Lamb shank is recommended. The staff were very nice.
amazing dishes , well located & comfortable seating ! Strong WiFi and highly recommend a visit here , the lamb was cooked perfectly
Delicious lunch and it was a good price point .My friend and I had the pan seared fish and chicken pasta.They provided an excellent vegetable soup and fruit punch as part of the lunch set. This place is definitely worth seeking out .
Came here on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Food was excellent. Service was good.
Was finding a place to eat for lunch around the area on Google and came across this restaurant. Decided to try it out and I was not disappointed at all. Ordered the wagyu beef burger as my main and when I saw the burger in front of me, I was salivating. It was extremely scrumptious. The kunafe was delicious too! 🤤 The staff were also polite and nice to talk to. Highly recommend this restaurant!
The Bruschetta is amazing, atmosphere is very cozy and staffs are very friendly and hospitable which made the dining experience here all the more satisfying.Highly recommend to come and drink here with friends.
awesome! food was really tasty, esp the kunafeh 🙂 and vibes were really good!! loved that there was a mix of cuisines and all were done really well!

Nice environment and yummy food. 👍🏻👍🏻 to the happy hours too. Their staff, Aishah is attentative and good in recommending the dishes to us. Good place to spend the day with your friends and family. We have a great times. 👏👏
Absolutely love this little gem of a bar and restaurant. Perfectly situated near Little India, close to other fine attractions and in a beautiful location. Excellent food, drinks, and service. Great happy hour pricing. Pub snacks so tasty! Jojo, Aisha, Angella, Evie, and Kylie guarantee your visit will be memorable. Every time I visit Singapore I make it a point to swing by and hang out with the crew. Love J-Bistro, love the team!
Overall pretty good. Wagu burger was a bit salty - too much seasoning, but peasant atmosphere and good menu selection.
J Bistro is a gem hidden in a very unique district of Singapore straddled between Kampung Glam and Little India. With this unique location, it is poised to attract locals and tourists alike. With their great western fusion cuisine, an evening here will never have a dull moment. The food is exotic and authentic to say the least, the staffs are very attentive too. You definitely must pay this place a visit soon!Keng Heng
Just solid, we're the first customers to walked in, best restaurant for hangover meals imo
A hidden gem! Read good reviews and decided to check it out. The food was really good! The taste was on-point. Portion was huge and price reasonable. The service crews were very polite too. Nice place to wind down with good food and drink after a day of hard work.
Nice local bar next to the The Vagabond Club Hotel. JoJo is a great host and bartender. Good selection of drinks and expansive bar menu.
good food and thanks jojo for waving the cockage and ur friendly service. Friendly guy and very amiable, will definitely return
Aisyah was indeed an excellent host.She made us feel at home, entertaining us even though the place hosted a wine pairing event.She definitely deserves a commendation from her boss.Thanks Aisyah 🙏🏽
Got to know J Bistro from a friend and, since we were in the area, we decided to swing by and give it a try. The food and service were awesome, with friendly staff and great recommendations by the gentleman behind the bar counter.I was curious about the menu, which offered a variety of cuisines including Indonesian, Western, Indian, and Turkish desserts. What should we eat? There were three of us, so we decided to share and try a bit of everything.My friend had already decided on the Camembert Cheese Cubes – they were super yummy and not overly cheesy. A perfect start to our meal.I opted for the Lombok Chicken Satay. It was amazing! I loved the way it was char-grilled, and the satay sauce was so delicious that I cleaned up the plate – not a drop was left. The sauce was smooth like peanut butter.For the mains, we decided to try the Turkey Bacon Carbonara. Normally, I’m not a fan of carbonara because it can feel heavy, but today I liked it. There was a generous amount of turkey bacon bites, and they were so crispy.We had heard they serve good steak, so we decided to try The Gentlemen’s Cut – a 380g Angus Ribeye, cooked medium. Verdict: perfect for me. 👌🏻We are definitely going back to try the chargrilled Angus Tomahawk!
Feel the atmosphere of holiday when you step into this place. Ordered the truffle carbonara, poached fish and satay as starter. The satay is just super solid. Tasty and juicy.
Great food.Gentlemen's Cut Ribeye is fantastic. Salad is fresh, and the Butter Chicken with Japanese Rice is rich and creamy.
Had the chargrill chicken and olive crusted oven baked fish upon recommendation by the waitress. Both dishes did not disappoint..there was a nice smokiness to the chicken and the fish was fresh. Both dishes came with roasted veggies as well.
nice food and environmentPrice reasonableI like their mushroom soup. It is damn 👍👍👍
We had lamb chops and wagyu beef burger and find them good enough to come back again. The food is well flavoured.We are the only customers during our dinner, hope their business will improve.
Great customer recovery by restaurant management! Thank you for the kind offer.We came back for another meal. Unfortunately the same chicken dish was out of stock today, so we tried the steak, which was so much better compared to yesterday’s - many thanks to the chef!We were also given complimentary baklava.Thank you.
I hardly write reviews these days. Partly it is pointless. Do the reviews have any merit? Do bad reviews cause any damage to the outlets being reviewed? Do good reviews bring any advantage to the outlets? More likely they have negative repercussions.The vibe wasn't good when we arrived; at 7 pm on a Saturday there was just one table occupied. Perhaps, it's a drinking place where the crowd will come in later.Now the food, the sole purpose of our visit. The French Onion soup was burning hot and the forest of mushroom soup was decent and had the fragrance and correct temperature. The wagyu burger was decent. The ribeye was objectionable. It was supposed to be charcoal grilled in their Kopa oven. But the meat looked more like being blanched and then tossed in the grill for burnt lines. Medium rare was served as medium well. Any decent chef worth his fire would not have allowed it to be served.I usually do not confront the chef or server. I am out for a dinner and plan to keep the pleasantries of the evening. But I need to write this review and hope that the bistro improves. You can't charge your customers $34.80 for that piece of 200 g ribeye that I had. I am sure your chef can do better.
another day of celebration, was thinking to try something new. came here for its keto burger, wondering how it would be - its indeed like a burger without the bread. ordered the Buffalo wings, it's too spicy for me. Squid, a bit of surprise, quite good. The place is more for beer or wine, chilling with friends.

Trahina and her colleagues make the afternoon spent after missing our flight memorable. Had nice salade and chicken wings and got surprised by a lovely baklava as a gift. Thx for your hospitality.
Absolute 5 star rating! From entrance, service, food and leaving! Lemon and Suzie were fantastic in welcoming myself and chatting and serving! This is definitely worth a visit when you are near this side of town!
J Bistro was a hidden gem I was lucky to find on my recent trip to Singapore. The modern décor and airy atmosphere set the mood from the moment I walked in. They have a place to relax outdoors that offer views of Singapore’s streets and also have indoor seating with gentle lighting, making it the perfect place for a relaxing experience.The staff were incredibly generous with their service and were extremely friendly which was something I appreciated a lot! They helped me choose what to order and thanks to that I chose to order various different dishes. The first one I ordered was the Forest Mushroom Veloute and this dish had a distinct mushroom flavor which tasted amazing with the garlic bread that came on the side.The next dish I had was their best seller Wagyu Beef Burger. The Wagyu beef was incredibly fatty and juicy and carried all the flavors wonderfully. Served alongside the burger were their fries which had a crispy texture with a silky feeling from the inside and I honestly could’ve ate 3 more servings of the fries alone!The next dish I had was their Fish and Chips. Paired with their fries and tartar sauce, The light batter of the fish wasn’t overly greasy which made it enjoyable. It was the perfect greasy evening meal. The last dish that I had was my favorite next to the Wagyu Burger. The Laksa Prawn Linguini was the perfect comfort dish in my eyes. The creaminess of the coconut cream and the taste that was blended in was absolutely perfect, I just couldn’t stop myself from eating. It would’ve been even better if I had some limes to go with it.After lunch I ordered a couple of desserts. The first one that I got was the Pistachio Kunefe with Syrup and the original Turkish flavors of the dessert really came through in this dish. It wasn’t overwhelmingly sweet but definitely satisfied all my sweet cravings in one go. After the Kunefe I had their Baklava Plate which included walnut and pistachio baklavas. They had a great portion and it was hard for me to finish it by myself so this would make the perfect dish for 2 people to share! They also serve a variety of Turkish ice cream for you to pick from if you’re just looking for a simple yet delicious treat.Overall, my experience at J Bistro was incredible. I had a wonderful time and I could definitely tell how passionate they were about their project from the flavors they were delivering in their food and the service they provided! I can definitely see myself coming back the next time I visit Singapore.
Good ambience. Very clean. Good food. Great service, help & friendly staff, Raina.We ordered fish n chips - good batter, no fishy taste/smell, damn sedap crispy fries, and good homemade coleslaw tho it’s a tad too creamy for my liking. And it’s freshly made too.We also ordered the 4 types of mushroom soup - their specialty. It comes with 4pcs garlic bread. Both are equally so delicious and complement each other. Harmonious.Prawn mentai spaghetti is good too, no wonder it’s their specialty. Prawn is fresh, sauce is creamy and pasta is al dente. It’s not spicy but zesty.For dessert we had baklava. Pistachio baklva to be exact. Looks may be deceiving this one. One look may think it will give you diabetes 😂. But you’ve been fooled. It’s decently sweet (it’s baklava here we’re talking about!), and you could taste the pistachio more than the pastry & sweetnees of it. We love this one too! I wonder how good their pistachio ice cream will be like.I highly recommended eating here if you’re around the area. This is not paid review. Just a person who likes and enjoys to eat and loves to share where to have good food 😂.Price is reasonable, dollar to dollar.And bonus point, all food here are HALAL. They use halal meat only.Look for Raina. She knows her food 🙃
I recently spent a wonderful evening at J Bistro @ 45 Syed Alwi, which is tucked away between Kampong Glam and Jalan Besar. It was like unearthing a tranquil local secret. The airy, contemporary décor and relaxed atmosphere set the mood from the moment I walked in. You can relax at their quaint outdoor tables with views of Singapore's streets or choose comfortable indoor seats with gentle lighting, making it the ideal place for a laid-back evening.J-Bistro's light-modern decor, laid-back vibe, and casual music selection skillfully combine a comfortable lounge with a modern social environment. You can relax there by yourself, catch up with friends, or have a relaxed date night.The staff was really friendly and courteous; they helped me navigate and clarify their menu, which greatly simplified my decision-making process. I started by trying their Forest Mushroom Veloute out of all the different dishes I had chosen. The soup's distinct flavor, which preserved all of the mushrooms, came from its creamy texture, which was achieved by using only mushrooms and no flour. Every bite was amazing because of the combination of the mushroom taste and the garlic bread, which was simultaneously soft and crispy. Immediately following the soup, I tried the Lombok Chicken Satay, which was prepared in their KOPA oven, giving it a wonderful smoky taste and tenderness. When paired with the accompanying peanut sauce, the meal turned into the ideal appetizer to start off your day with!I decided to taste their Wagyu Beef Burger after the Satay. Char-grilled in their trademark KOPA oven, the Wagyu retained all of its luscious fat inside, giving it an irresistible mouthfeel and texture that made it shine more and more with each bite. As one of their best-selling dishes, the dish truly lived up to its name and thanks to the flavor of the grilled burger, the texture of the crispy, fluffy french fries, and the subtle sweetness of the caramelized onions paired with the cheese that brought the whole burger together, this dish was definitely a highlight of the day for me. I tried the fish and chips as my next meal. I've tried a variety of fish and chip recipes, each with a special touch. One of the most authentic-tasting ones I've had so far has to be J bistros Fish & Chips. Together with their fries and tartar sauce, the light, airy batter that isn't overly greasy makes it simpler to eat. It's the ideal greasy evening meal. This next and final dish was my favorite alongside the Wagyu Beef Burger I tried previously. The Laksa Prawn Linguini was one of those dishes that was simply amazing; the laksa paste and coconut cream's creamy smoothness and flavor really brought out the Singaporean characteristics of laksa that everyone is familiar with and enjoys. The dish benefited greatly from the deliciously cooked prawns and their pleasing texture. My recommendation would be to request some lime on the side, which would perfectly balance the flavors and spices and elevate this dish even further. Pistachio Kunefe with syrup on the side was the first dessert I tried out of the two I ordered. All of my sweet needs were fully satisfied by this one dish once I poured all of the syrup on top. The subtle saltiness from the cheese and the sweetness from the syrup and pistachios blended together flawlessly. Their Baklava Plate, which had walnut and pistachio baklavas, was the final dish I ate. This recipe is ideal for people who wish to satisfy their sweet cravings without having too much sugar. These baklavas, which come directly from Turkey, have the classic baklava flavor while also satisfying the needs of those who cannot tolerate very sweet foods. In this case, the taste of the walnuts and pistachios was even more noticeable, which added a special touch that made the dish quite pleasant. For those seeking a quick and easy treat, they also serve a variety of Turkish ice cream which can be the perfect thing to enjoy especially on a hot day. Special mention for their Singapore Sling as well! Overall, I would highly recommend this eatery when you’re in SG!

Went again to J Bistro last Saturday, after my last outing a week ago, I just could not get their food off my mind and told myself that I must go there again to satisfy the craving.This time, I decided to go for the Black Angus Ribeye Steak. Started off once again with the Cream of Mushroom Soup, just can't go past this to try their other soups yet, it is just so good I can't start off the meal without it. And I definitely have no regrets, it is just so, so amazingly good.I ordered the Black Angus Ribeye rare and it came done perfectly to my liking. The Ribeye was very tender and it paired off very well with the Black Pepper Sauce which has a unique tangy taste to it. And the glorious mash potato that accomplished the steak was to say the least, heavenly. All in, I will give this dish a perfect 10.Finished off with the Pistachio Baklava and a nice cold pint of Asahi.As usual, the service staff team was very welcoming and attentive throughout, a really bubbly team of really nice folks. The good food together with this wonderful service team made for a really dining experience. Will definitely go back again to spoil myself.
Took a while for the food to come but service was good. Even got free baklavas.
Great atmosphere and delicious food. My family sat indoors and the ambience was pleasant. We had a mix of western and Indian cuisine, which were all very tasty. Best of all, the beers were cold and fresh. Not forgetting, the staff were very attentive and courteous. We'll definitely be going back. Wonderful restaurant.
The squid and camembert cheese bites are the best! special mention to the chef zubra

Awesome place to eat. Had a Singapore sling and wagyu beef burger which was delicious. We saw on advertisement in a flight catalogue and thought we would try it out. Servers were excellent and professional. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you come to Singapore.
Menu with an abundance of variety but not compromising quality! Love their wagyu beef burger and their crispy fries :).Rainah and JoJo was very helpful and friendly.
I happened to find this place while staying at a hotel nearby. The staff was friendly and the food was delicious. At the end, they served us pie.
Settings of restaurant is comfortable...Ambience came with light relaxing music...Staff is attentive which contributed to good service...Ordered Pan Seared Fillet which came with a big piece of Dory fish, some light salad, large portion of fries, a glass of fruit punch and a bowl of clear vegetables...Food is Delicious 🤤Price is reasonable.It's one of the best choice of restaurants which I enjoyed so far 😄Keep up the great work !⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Delicious spaghetti carbonara and desserts. Friendly and professional service.
Super cosy ambience with a wide range of mains and alcoholsI highly recommend their Angus steak, miso clams pastaIf you have a sweet tooth, try their kunefe and baklava
Truly a hidden gem in the area of Jalan Besar. Great wines and amazing menu.I exceptionally adore their mushroom cream and Truffle pasta. You can taste the quality of their ingredients and the love of the chef.Vibes are nice and comfortable with a spacious dining area and warm lighting.I will be back soon.
The food is not bad…Ordered the platterThe portion is pretty a lot…Jojo and Raina are friendly… always ask whether we need anything…Overall is a good place to come
Went for dinner , after heavy rain. It's rt next to our hotel (vagabond). Very friendly sweet staff, ordered their lamb chops 4pc with vege (good choice as fries would've masked over quality of meat) n Guiness. Food is excellent. Lamb chops are tender juicy. Done just nice to perfection paired with roasted vege. Guinness cold n smooth fresh fm tap. My hubby ordered wagyu burger tasted excellent. Kudos to Kelly (young Chinese server). She gave us 2pc balaclava as birthday treat for me. So sweet 😋 💖 💓 absolutely recommend to try out their food and drinks. Environment excellent with soft music. And friendly service.Relax chill. Perfect vibe. 👌
Food is pretty good for a drinking hole... I like their burgers and finger food.... They also sell this Turkish dessert which is pretty good
Brought the family out for a weekend dinner. Read good reviews about this place and decided to try.We had trouble finding the place initially as it was hidden behind renovation covers. Place was rather empty when we arrived and I was a little worried since there was only one other table.Turns out the worry was misplaced as the family was happy with the taste and portions of the meals. The steak, pastas and side dishes were delicious and well presented. Kudos to the restaurant for keeping up the good job despite a slow Saturday evening. We almost had the whole restaurant to ourselves and truly enjoyed the experience!Pasta bolognese. I seldom like bolognese as most places have an overwhelming tomato paste taste which I don’t quite favour. This bolognese was really well executed, nicely balanced and served with generous fresh cherry tomatoes. 👍Best dish was the mushroom alio oglio. Only problem was the added bacon was tough.Revisit 8 Mar 2025They serve satay now. Enjoyed a thorough well bbq’d satay———————Overall taste however was a really delicious pastaPasta carbonara. Another very well executed carbonara pasta. It’s not often one gets the arugula and raw egg served with the carbonara. It does add to the presentation. Tastes great
Best Kunafe I ever had , highly recommended. The creamy spinach and mushroom soup were fantastic too. Thanks for the satay as the chef knew that we were celebrating wedding anniversary.
Awesome food. We really enjoyed the ambience. Bruschetta platter was too good. Love their own factory made Baklava.
Chanced upon this place while fixing my bike. Really nice place to chill with friends or sit down and focus on work. Service staffs are also very proactive and nice. Highly recommended.Only down side is that the menu is not updated/ many items not available.
The food was very good. Lamb shank is recommended. The staff were very nice.
amazing dishes , well located & comfortable seating ! Strong WiFi and highly recommend a visit here , the lamb was cooked perfectly
Delicious lunch and it was a good price point .My friend and I had the pan seared fish and chicken pasta.They provided an excellent vegetable soup and fruit punch as part of the lunch set. This place is definitely worth seeking out .
Came here on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Food was excellent. Service was good.
Was finding a place to eat for lunch around the area on Google and came across this restaurant. Decided to try it out and I was not disappointed at all. Ordered the wagyu beef burger as my main and when I saw the burger in front of me, I was salivating. It was extremely scrumptious. The kunafe was delicious too! 🤤 The staff were also polite and nice to talk to. Highly recommend this restaurant!
The Bruschetta is amazing, atmosphere is very cozy and staffs are very friendly and hospitable which made the dining experience here all the more satisfying.Highly recommend to come and drink here with friends.
awesome! food was really tasty, esp the kunafeh 🙂 and vibes were really good!! loved that there was a mix of cuisines and all were done really well!
baklava was absolute GOATEDsuper homey but also classy vibesthe bruschetta was bussincarbonara was genuinely the best carbonara i’ve ever tasted and i’ve been to italyif i could i would give it 10 stars 💯💯💯

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I had a fantastic experience at this place! The food was absolutely delicious, with a great variety of options to choose from. The service was top-notch—friendly, Angella and Kylie attentive, and efficient. The atmosphere was also lovely, making it a perfect spot for dining. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food and a wonderful experience!"and Subra indian food was so nice😋
Nice environment and yummy food. 👍🏻👍🏻 to the happy hours too. Their staff, Aishah is attentative and good in recommending the dishes to us. Good place to spend the day with your friends and family. We have a great times. 👏👏
Absolutely love this little gem of a bar and restaurant. Perfectly situated near Little India, close to other fine attractions and in a beautiful location. Excellent food, drinks, and service. Great happy hour pricing. Pub snacks so tasty! Jojo, Aisha, Angella, Evie, and Kylie guarantee your visit will be memorable. Every time I visit Singapore I make it a point to swing by and hang out with the crew. Love J-Bistro, love the team!
Overall pretty good. Wagu burger was a bit salty - too much seasoning, but peasant atmosphere and good menu selection.
J Bistro is a gem hidden in a very unique district of Singapore straddled between Kampung Glam and Little India. With this unique location, it is poised to attract locals and tourists alike. With their great western fusion cuisine, an evening here will never have a dull moment. The food is exotic and authentic to say the least, the staffs are very attentive too. You definitely must pay this place a visit soon!Keng Heng
Just solid, we're the first customers to walked in, best restaurant for hangover meals imo
A hidden gem! Read good reviews and decided to check it out. The food was really good! The taste was on-point. Portion was huge and price reasonable. The service crews were very polite too. Nice place to wind down with good food and drink after a day of hard work.
Nice local bar next to the The Vagabond Club Hotel. JoJo is a great host and bartender. Good selection of drinks and expansive bar menu.
good food and thanks jojo for waving the cockage and ur friendly service. Friendly guy and very amiable, will definitely return
Aisyah was indeed an excellent host.She made us feel at home, entertaining us even though the place hosted a wine pairing event.She definitely deserves a commendation from her boss.Thanks Aisyah 🙏🏽
Got to know J Bistro from a friend and, since we were in the area, we decided to swing by and give it a try. The food and service were awesome, with friendly staff and great recommendations by the gentleman behind the bar counter.I was curious about the menu, which offered a variety of cuisines including Indonesian, Western, Indian, and Turkish desserts. What should we eat? There were three of us, so we decided to share and try a bit of everything.My friend had already decided on the Camembert Cheese Cubes – they were super yummy and not overly cheesy. A perfect start to our meal.I opted for the Lombok Chicken Satay. It was amazing! I loved the way it was char-grilled, and the satay sauce was so delicious that I cleaned up the plate – not a drop was left. The sauce was smooth like peanut butter.For the mains, we decided to try the Turkey Bacon Carbonara. Normally, I’m not a fan of carbonara because it can feel heavy, but today I liked it. There was a generous amount of turkey bacon bites, and they were so crispy.We had heard they serve good steak, so we decided to try The Gentlemen’s Cut – a 380g Angus Ribeye, cooked medium. Verdict: perfect for me. 👌🏻We are definitely going back to try the chargrilled Angus Tomahawk!
Feel the atmosphere of holiday when you step into this place. Ordered the truffle carbonara, poached fish and satay as starter. The satay is just super solid. Tasty and juicy.
Great food.Gentlemen's Cut Ribeye is fantastic. Salad is fresh, and the Butter Chicken with Japanese Rice is rich and creamy.
Had the chargrill chicken and olive crusted oven baked fish upon recommendation by the waitress. Both dishes did not disappoint..there was a nice smokiness to the chicken and the fish was fresh. Both dishes came with roasted veggies as well.
nice food and environmentPrice reasonableI like their mushroom soup. It is damn 👍👍👍
We had lamb chops and wagyu beef burger and find them good enough to come back again. The food is well flavoured.We are the only customers during our dinner, hope their business will improve.
Great customer recovery by restaurant management! Thank you for the kind offer.We came back for another meal. Unfortunately the same chicken dish was out of stock today, so we tried the steak, which was so much better compared to yesterday’s - many thanks to the chef!We were also given complimentary baklava.Thank you.
I hardly write reviews these days. Partly it is pointless. Do the reviews have any merit? Do bad reviews cause any damage to the outlets being reviewed? Do good reviews bring any advantage to the outlets? More likely they have negative repercussions.The vibe wasn't good when we arrived; at 7 pm on a Saturday there was just one table occupied. Perhaps, it's a drinking place where the crowd will come in later.Now the food, the sole purpose of our visit. The French Onion soup was burning hot and the forest of mushroom soup was decent and had the fragrance and correct temperature. The wagyu burger was decent. The ribeye was objectionable. It was supposed to be charcoal grilled in their Kopa oven. But the meat looked more like being blanched and then tossed in the grill for burnt lines. Medium rare was served as medium well. Any decent chef worth his fire would not have allowed it to be served.I usually do not confront the chef or server. I am out for a dinner and plan to keep the pleasantries of the evening. But I need to write this review and hope that the bistro improves. You can't charge your customers $34.80 for that piece of 200 g ribeye that I had. I am sure your chef can do better.
another day of celebration, was thinking to try something new. came here for its keto burger, wondering how it would be - its indeed like a burger without the bread. ordered the Buffalo wings, it's too spicy for me. Squid, a bit of surprise, quite good. The place is more for beer or wine, chilling with friends.
