Diners wanting generous, healthy mains at fair prices

Core details are sourced from this business's Google Business Profile (checked 2026-10-15).

What do recent reviews say?

Diners often praise the food for being generous, tasty, and fairly priced. Many like the twists on familiar dishes, such as the fish and chips and the risotto. Ratings swing sharply, though. Some visitors report bland dishes, dry baked goods, and one serious rat sighting.

The menu leans toward healthy options, including paleo grilled chicken and dishes with protein listed on the menu. Some reviewers describe staff as friendly and helpful. Others say the drinks are small for the price. Pet owners must sit in the window area, and parking in Taman Paramount is tight.

Recent shift: A reviewer in July 2026 found the grilled chicken good but burger and cakes dry.
