“ Had a wonderful experience at the orient express for dinner - great food and amazing service. My friends and I were well taken care of and had a lovely lovely meal! Would highly recommend the crispy chicken with honey and oyster sauce - outstanding! ”
“ Customer service 10/10! Place its really quiet and chill. Food was delicious and really generous, they mean it when they say they are a friendly place. Curry was really good but I’ll prefer smaller veggies inside, they were hard to eat. Chutneys 10/10 ”
“ We had the most amazing dinner here! Our servers Fae & Tiebe were awesome and the owner Tipi went out of his way to cater to our dietary needs! We had the Buddhas Delight which was full of flavour and not too heavy, the Malay Beef Curry which was fantastic, the veggie pakora & cake + ice cream for dessert which was not too sweet & light! 11/10 would come here again!! ”

“ Absolute gem of a spot. Blown away by the service we received by Rachel The atmosphere was delightfully peaceful, had a warmth of character about it. Food is delectable, fresh ingredients used to make a sublime explosion of flavours that hit the tastebuds. ”
“ I would like to leave an absolutely outstanding review for our experience at this wonderful restaurant. My absolute favorite was the dessert, the fried banana with ice cream. The contrast between the warm, crispy banana and the cold, creamy ice cream was a true delight for the taste buds. Every bite was a little piece of heaven! But it wasn’t just the dessert that stood out—the entire culinary experience was fantastic. The food was of the highest quality, freshly prepared, and served with great attention to detail. You can immediately tell that the owner is truly passionate and dedicated to his restaurant. He prepares each meal with a deep love for what he does, and after speaking with him, it's clear how much this restaurant means to him and how deeply he loves his craft. A special shout-out to Olivia and Fae, who took care of us throughout the evening. The service was exceptional. Both were attentive, friendly, and always ready to help with a smile. You truly feel well taken care of and appreciated. We want to sincerely thank you for this unforgettable experience. It was an evening that became something truly special thanks to the combination of excellent food, a fantastic atmosphere, and top-notch service. Thank you for everything; we will definitely be back! ”
