Had some authentic roti prata (Indian style) and Chinese style fried noodle. Pretty wide variety of local dishes. Overall pretty good. Nice breezy corner to chill, relax, and have a cup of tea, coffee, ice lemon tea or teh tarik (pulled milk tea). Thanks and will come back x!

We ate here after feeling a bit uninspired by the other food choices in the area. We weren’t sure what to expect due to the general lack of reviews however we were impressed. We had vegetable noodles and a roti canai with dal. The food was tasty and great value.

The restaurant is simple but the food is genuine and provided quickly. One of the best roti chanai had in Malaysia. The staff is friendly and they do not have problem in serving vegetarian food. Last but not last, it’s super cheap! Highly recommended!

If you're looking for a restaurant serving a variety of delicious dishes, you should definitely try this one. Whether you're looking for nasi goreng or noodles, or a delicious roti or murtubak, everything here is equally delicious. Add to that the very friendly staff and a well-maintained kitchen, and you'll understand why I've eaten here every single one of my four evenings in Sandakan.

Great place with delicious food. Staff helped translate the menu and describe the dishes. Roti Kaya and Telur were delicious. The Mee Basah Wet was exquisite. Some of the best food on Borneo that we had so far! Would go back and definitely recommend for a taste of authentic local food. Value is excellent at about 35 RM for 4 people including drinks.

This restaurant is the best. Every dish I ate here was incredible, and the staff are friendly. In fact it was so good I ate every single meal here while staying in Sandakan. Highlights were the Laksa, Kuey Teow ayam soup and I can't forget the Roti canai, which I ate about 8 of over a few days. This is the spot in Sandakan, thank you all
